    I think people are buying them and flipping them 6 months- 18 months down the line OR truly putting them in their boxes…I concede perhaps a few DJs might be driving the prices.
  2. Kenb
    I get your point Chalky...but you've made an assumption people paying big bucks for records are DJ's who want tham to play out. I don't think that's the case.

    thank you Max, Peter.

    had notification today that the book has shipped.

    Any promoter or plugger will tell you that a soon as the very word "soul" is mentioned in connection with a new release then the BBC is going to classify it as "specialised". It is shaming to think how hard "soul" records and artists have to struggle in order to get equal air-time from the BBC. Sadly (or luckily) "soul" music has never become sufficiently trendy or chic to gather much of a middle class following and so it remains unknown amongst the mass public. No, not me Dave Godin letters extract, The Guardian 1975. Oh how he would have gone to task with this lot now!

    Let’s give the guy a break now…he knows how we feel, and we have to let him sort it. let’s take a deep breath for a week

    Max-a lot of guy’s run as one/two person enterprises-and manage.Your real failure is really bad communication with customers. you might want to re-think your marketing and distribution. as said in my previous post…you are obviously a soul devote, so I have lot of time for you on that score…but you can’t keep advertising stuff you can’t fulfill in a timely manner

    Not sure about that. I thought $7 for post BUT my PayPal account /brewery invoice was more

    tha maddening thing is...Max wrote and did a great piece of research/interviews on the Ultimates-and published it in The Philly Enquirer Jan 2022. So he is a devotte.

    they might just as well be saying "alexia play"!

    yes...like a fool i thought it can't be as bad as the Nu-Ron's fiasco. It's a book! It's in Print isnt it? but having emailed them (20th Aug), this is what i got back Hey now! How goes it. So we blew through 100 copies and need to link with the author to get more - he’s an odd fellow, but we are working on it! Thanks for writing. sometimes i'm thick and sometimes i'm stupid. on that day i was both @Brewerytownbeats

    the very funny Rose Matafeo appeared on The One Show tonight wearing a big logo Wigan Casino t-shirt? It's a BBC epidemic and it is spreading a pseudo Northern Soul virus.
  14. Kenb
    It's (the book) under copyright protection...but it is page 172. As for the B&S issue, i don't have it.

    the 'covering-up' with white (paper discs) labels was retold in 'Dave Godin- a Northern Soul' by Stephen Stevlor (author) as...'a train journey trip in 1971 to visit the Pendulum & Cromwellian'. It goes on 'his clubbing adventure was covered in the next available B&S'.

    Tavares With Freda Payne :I Wanna See You Soon. Cheap as chips and v.g (IMO)

    Much as I enjoyed it there is no substitute for the real thing which had me thinking , if I was Joe public watching would it make me want to go to an event,.... Hope not
  18. Kenb
    Sing-along-a-Northern. Maybe you had to be there. Glad i wasn't.
  19. Kenb
    the guy furthest right would have been well surprised! Sparkles 1963 ( pre Tough Girl)

    top night...especially Chic's set. Nice to hear Young Brothers'out'.
  22. Kenb
    So true. It brings desirability into the equation i think. There are rare and scarce 45's ('Northern') that don't get played because they're less desirable. There are 'versions' that are scarce and rare of known tunes that don't get played BUT, the same known non-rare/non-scarce version of said tunes that do.
  23. Kenb
    yes- in the same way as you see so many selling Mint, Mint +, VG, VG, Ex+1.1 () palarva, etc, etc, etc. (Carolina Soul the exception i can think of instantly who grades just Good, etc often).
  24. Kenb
    point taken...i should have used different examples. a bit lazy of me, and it just came up
  25. Kenb
    So..Ralph has just posted (for sale) Dorothy Beery as rare £250. Is it rare or scarce, neither or both? And I’m not having a go at Ralph for his description, but it does normalise the term “rare” when perhaps it’s not.
