Since you showed me how to be happy / Open the door to your heart / Soulville / Who who song Anyone out there - price /condition etc

24 on popsike since Aug 2005 - never an issue !!

£1000 Houston Outlaws last week - looks like it sold - same dealer - madness But then again £6000 get's you a Jimmy Bo Horn same place

I rest my case List on sales today - hundreds of 45's - offers - have a look - virtually worthless on average I don't see the point getting to this situation in the 1st place - did they find the sounds ??

Carol Anderson appeared on Ebay - Buy it now £3000 or best offer UK seller - expected though at that price and who can blame them.

Just imagine what Ted's boxes are worth then. That Capitols would have been my most expensive buy ever and as 1 of only a handful I've never owned was the only reason i was in for it. My earlier point also stressed the fact that I've never carried only big ticket items, but that some people have a false impression of their collections realisable worth and will get a shock sometime down the road.

Nothing magical about my attitude to collecting / dj'ing - I've only ever owned a maximum of 250 records at any one time - and never all big ticket items. Always easier to lug 125 around than 1250 like some - you can only play @24 in an hrs spot That's through over 55 yrs of collecting and 52 yrs of dj'ing, so only a certain amount of my assets are tied up in vinyl. Many people have massive collections which they will find have a lot of commercially worthless 45's, particularly when trying to sell in bulk. I have sold up on 3 occasions over the years and have never had an issue with realising a proper return. Each to his own as you say

I was personally outbid on a Capitols - Can't deny that I love you - Omen WLP on Tuesday - a sound I've never owned - last second snipe as always but at least I forced him to pay $2900 +. Wouldn't of been ecstatic to have won at the under bid but would of ticked another one off. I guess in the crazy world we operate currently sub $3000 was an OK price for an all-time sound. One day !!

I took some flack a few weeks ago making exactly the same point about Carol Anderson - I've been surrounded by wannabee dj's / experts for over 50 yrs - most of whom have never discovered anything / taken a chance on anything whether it's a fiver or £500 + or have any comprehension of history or chronological order of things. Remember stuff like Earl Jackson / Sam Nesbitt were played at the Wheel - Professionals / George Blackwell / Steinways were played in '72 at the Fantasia - Quorn along with dozens of other killers. To quote the legendary dj - Bill Poole - 'This one's for Steve Frost, how much did it cost' - when only talking about £10 or less sounds - which all of the above were What a world we live in now

Don't get me started I'll be adding pics of me togged up cap & overall leaning out of the cab like Casey Jones if you don't watch out. A life affirming moment almost as exciting as finding that mint $5 Tan Geers purple stocker and Appreciations mint yellow stock It's better to Cry - getting back on topic

Absolutely nothing wrong with trainspotting - brought up within 200yds of the Great Central outside Leicester and 3 miles from the Midland mainline and an elder brother of 6yrs. I'm a member of the Melton Mowbray Model Railway club and for my 40th birthday 28yrs ago my missus bought me a train driving experience and was able to experience driving A4 Pacific Sir Nigel Gresley from Loughborough to Leicester and back x 2 - Anyone who knows anything about steam locomotives will know this is the equivalent of finding a red stock Sam Williams or George Pepp demo and I really enjoy my Tuesday evening sessions with the club - 'Going to the anoraks' my missus jokes every Tues. We always finish in the pub. Keeps me sane and prevents my total life being immersed in Vinylogy

Always thought there were loads out there as it was a big sound for about 5 mins. in the great scheme of things along with Clara Ward back in 71 / 72 and they both disappeared under the avalanche of new and better discoveries on a weekly basis back then - If my memory serves me I and my brother Chris had an EMI disc of Clara Ward from some obscure deal from the Mecca / Torch / Cats at that time and RB was on our wants list for said 5 mins.
