    Another try a few months later.. Still after this tune. Many thanks for looking!

    Eccentric Funk not bad either.. But at the end of the day, I'd go with the Deep City comp.
  3. Midnight Drifter
    Still looking for this one.. Cheers
  4. Midnight Drifter
    I see your point but prices are very volatile. The next one could end up at 350 quid or whatever..

    ..yet. Their time will come. I have a friend who's only interested in Soul LPs. He'd never look on JM's site or any other of the usual suspects websites for them. Instead, he gets his stuff from a dealer in the US from whom he buys albums for decades now. I know that I am talking about a segment of one here but I do believe that 45 and album collectors are fishing in disjunct markets, at least to a certain extent.
  6. Midnight Drifter
    Thank God are there countless top tunes in the low price segment!

    I personally think it's a bit of both. Let's see once the world is halfway back to 'normal', i.e. a substantial amount of people are vaccinated and will be able to travel again. Then some collectors are forced by their misses to take the occasional trip abroad.. On the other hand, once a tune has reached a certain level, it's mostly viewed as the new benchmark regardless of it being an outlier or not.
  8. Midnight Drifter
    Yeah, you're right.. could very well be..

    The Bee Vee was auctioned at JM twice within the last couple of months and if I'm not mistaken, both ended up around pr even less than half the price than the one tonight reached (same condition more or less). Rare tune, agreed. But why that jump..? Anyway, the strange world of rare record collecting remains interesting that way..
  10. Midnight Drifter
    It went on and stopped at 3750..
  11. Midnight Drifter
    Thanks for posting! Bee Vee .. sorry but this is ridiculous.. or is it just me?

    99 years - you gotta get there first! Sad news and a loss to all who have a soft spot for Southern Soul. The music he's put out really influenced my life.. May his soul rest in peace.

    Thanks in advance for any help on these long time wants. Please PM me in case you have one or for any advice if there's one out there for sale.. Record should be vg+ or better with clean labels: Roosevelt Matthews - You got me diggin' you Glen Miller - Where is the love (Jamaican press on STAG) Willie Tee - Teasing you again Mark IV - If you can't tell me something good (45 version) Johnny Mae Mathews - I have no choice Buddy Smith - When you lose the one you love Chuck Cockerham - Have I got a right

    Hi folks Looking for an original issue or promo copy in ex condition or better with clean labels. Thanks for looking! Alex

    In the end, all markets follow the law of demand and supply. In my opinion it all boils down to the question if we are able to attract enough youngsters with more or less the same kind of enthusiasm and will to maintain a scene (incl. promoting events where the records are being played out). At the moment, many rare tunes are stashed away in the homes of passionate collectors. Once we all fade away what will our offspring do with them?

    Hi folks Looking for an ex (or better) copy of Willie Tee - Man that I am / Sweet Thing with clean labels. (I don't even dare asking for Teasing you..) Thanks
  17. Midnight Drifter
    Could be an explanation but the ones I have in mind had title and label listed if I recall correctly.. Typos could be another explanation but pure guessing here from my side..

    Plus popsike doesn't show all ebay auctions for whatever reason.. over the years, I have witnessed a couple of rarities successfully being sold on ebay that never showed up on popsike. It's a mystery box..
  19. Midnight Drifter
    True, those effects are difficult to incorporate. The same applies to the long-standing different price regime UK / US which certainly biases popsike and discogs prices.
  20. Midnight Drifter
    Actually, it does show it, just click on the 'Last Sold' and then you will see everything:
  21. Midnight Drifter
    I normally apply a combination of all of the aforementioned to get a feeling about a possible price, i.e. a bit of popsike (sorting new->old and high-> low), a pinch of discogs (sales history) and to round it up I check some of the UK websites..
  22. Midnight Drifter
    I think the final bid was no mistake as the bidding ended at 18:08, so it prolonged, i.e. at least two bidders (I spare the foul language here) were carrying it out. And yeah, absolutely crazy price..
  23. Midnight Drifter
    Top! It always amazes me how these kind of tapes still emerge today.. nice and refreshing version!
  24. Midnight Drifter
    Nuff said! Stay safe y’all

    Unissued release: Alpaca Phase III by diggin deep was certainly one of the best for me this year.. Also the Kenny Carter mentioned above was a highlight. But the biggest gain for me this year was the decision to finally getting started with buying Soul records at a bigger scale in January after more or less forcing myself to stay away for more than 20 years as my other field of interest is expensive enough.. not the wisest decision my bank accountant (and wife) would say but I have to admit it feels great!!
