Lots of great soul sevens and albums at our new shop in Liverpool

It's always been a top want for me .I love the instrumental .i first heard it on the east coast and thought it was a soul Sam play before it came to Wigan but I am sure someone will wade in with the facts on that one .I loved Derek and Ray interplay as well but we all have our personal issues .Thanks to Jay Martin for the info re the label and the artists performing on it .I still need one if anyone has a nice original lurking in the depths of their box but too embarrassed to play it

Hi got a us copy on King vg+ £12 incl postage cheers Richard

I am sure if the accidentals was in demand the price would shoot up pretty fast .i have owned a copy for some years bought in the Midwest .Many years of digging and I have never seen another copy for sale at a record show ,record store or flea market in the US so certainly not common but not a £300 tune

I have a vg++ copy if pi can't find his same price £15

I remember that list from 1976 I had just started work that year and I was planning how to spend my wages .£16 per week .had to give my mum £8 so not much left over .found out from guys at Wigan it was all boots anyway .it was big news in the record bar . re the boots on eBay it is fraud and deception and the perpetrators need outing .They are trading on some peoples naivety.Sick of other eBay listings not even mentioning that record is a re issue and have been coming across the same issues on discogs especially from Belgian sellers . Buyers beware

I will take your joe Mathews pl see cheers Richard

I take it it's gone?? Cheers Richard

Got on abc £25 incl postage cheers Richard

Thing rob messer had one?

Try social media first like rare soul valuations to value top end and then sell on northern soul records for sale then cheapies as job lot ? eBay lots of work and lots of fees

Agree with Mellorful .the genuinely rare records where there are only a few known copies will maintain their price .lots of stuff going for insane prices .no future investing in cheapies .obscure small label stuff the way to go .People distorting the genuine market value of records must simply have too much money i buy records to listen to them .cheap or don't tell the wife records are generally not an investment but it's much more fun than collecting stamps or train spotting .

One thing a lot of people have failed to note is the growth in collectors in Europe and the USA .Whilst I believe there are a lack of young collectors here .there seems quite a bunch of younger guys collecting in Europe and the USA .The soul nights I have been to in the US and parts of Europe are more mixed not just northern but playing a great mix of Latin ,Funk and r and b and sweet soul which I have found refreshing .they are not embarrassed to play cheapies which is also cool with me . i think the younger crowd find this sort of scene more accessible than the northern scene here which is dominated by an older crowd (and yes I am old too)With lots of venues playing too many played out oldies .Angry response anyone ?

The value just doesn't matter .i will be buried with my records
