Had to reply after that Mal....I listened to northern at the school youth club and local discos.....I'm 46 this year....and went to the outrigger in brum when I was poss 13/14, and got served cider!!....no recollection of northern records because of 3 pints of the good stuff but can definitely remember being chased round Birmingham by skin heads ( looked huge blokes to me)..."out on the floor".."the champion", "nine times out of ten" got me first interested.....then forgot a bit and did the rave thing....I strangely then decided to listen to a few compilation northern c.d,s at about 30 years old and bought a few records after that.....spoke to a friend at a christening and went to my first do...Nuneaton allnighter.....more records, more do,s, more friends and down hill all the way!!!...met some good friends....a lovely all consuming scene...kind regards...Rob p.s...could write far, far more about my journey.....its been fab...Rob

Great to have someone posting the jm auction results again....thank you...was always some good chat about them....just to add...the Arabians..a fine double sider....£612....bloomin heck!...fab record , mint admittedly....but the most I've seen it sold for....kind regards....Rob

SUPERB!......loved every minute of that. That Little Ann acapella is mind blowing! Been fortunate to listen to a few of gillys tales.... He's a very engaging fellow, a nice chap indeed......massive thank you to all involved, I really enjoyed listening....knd regards....Rob

They sound amazing.....put the kids singing harmonys against them and they would be lost....it's lovely to see..even if your not a soul nut, as we all are...they sound very very good....good luck to them...I hope they get a contract, tour and earn the money they deserve!!!.....made me smile that there new, never heard of by the judges...it's lovely because we know don't we.....kind regards....Rob

I've never heard of it...thank you for that.....another room at soul do,s....I do wonder where it will all end....folk, soul, funk, blues, reggae, ska, mod room..(sorry if I've missed a genre)...oh well, I roll with anything...probably progression within the scene and just me.....kind regards....Rob.

Ha-ha. we moan when they sell for to much and moan when they sell for to cheap...there's no keeping us lot happy!!...to be fair I agree with chalky....very cheap purchase...it's rare as hens teeth!!!!....thank you....Rob

To the best of my knowledge....the cresa Watson version is super rare...3 or 4 copies....will leave it to you obsessed lot to put me straight.....kind regard....Rob

Up to £89! A fool and his money. I spotted this the other day and his 50% feedback. leave well alone. What a tosser.........kind regards....Rob

Thank you for posting play lists...I love reading them and know less than half of the records!!! right then......onto you tube for a listen......thank you....Rob

Wow...3 versions for sale of this at the minute....two on the good time label, one jm,s the other tb,s......both auction pieces....I have to say I've never seen this version Pete has for sale...gotta be the rarest version...l'm not on commission or kissing ass, just stating a fact....great stuff..kind regards...Rob

Ha-ha.....I wonder as well......Rob

I read the blurb on jm's auction and thought the same as you......potentially 100,000, then again potentially no where near......nearly 12,000 on here but how many actually collect????....interesting thread, thank you for posting...Rob

To the best of my knowledge the end price is what you get...no reserve.....kind regards....Rob

Thank you.....modernsoulsucks....priceless......Rob

Have to agree lee...didn't realise mickie champion was fetching that money, mint or not..ruby Andrews...wow!..minters of them have to be about don't they for less?? .timi yuro.....I thought that was dear....my idea of buying records is now useless....it's gone mad...nice to see people are still interested in collecting I suppose...at what price I find strange..oh well you spend what you can afford....thank you....Rob.

Bloomin heck!!!.... I can't remember owning 500 or so!... Top memory Robb!!

I've been at a do and said to my mates.....I like this, good record, who is it by?.....for them to say...you have a copy...penny drops!!!!!....oh yeah, I have....who's it by again?....common problem for me......Rob

a common problem....I'm 45 so no excuse for age etc...kind regards.......Rob

Professionals....that's why I love you....a little biased as its my favourite record....herb ward fab too.....mello souls is a mental intro and mad rare, proper run to the dance floor....kind regards....Rob

I've done the same myself a couple of times...given up trying now, never hear a word the dj says but pretend you have...thank you very much, big smile and wander off none the wiser!.......Rob

Fantastic record...surprised someone's not come up with something your after matey ....hmmmm, mind you, you will be after something a little special....hope your well lee........Rob

Ha-ha......I agree with every post,..Mal your absolutely right with your starting of the thread.....Ian is correct with his buying off pete smith ( buys plenty from Des Parker as well )...Paul is also correct with his comments, spot on in fact...Pete is also bang on, do your homework and don't get ripped off!!!....Neil also totally correct with his thoughts, we have all paid a little more for a tune and worried we've over done it...but been glad we have over a year or so, or not as the case may be!....an excellent post, but not sure what's a bargain these days?.... Do your research, look everywhere, ask everyone, and be very, very patient...that's my advice...great post, thank you.....Rob

Think it was £375 mark.....kind regards....rob
