Kenb

i can't add anything to the provenance already described...but recently i have seen these turn up for sale on an ebay auction starting at £36 and on a reputable seller site for £50. Really? (PAULA 381 -mis-credited track).

brave indeed.

sometimes "i don't answer the exam question" - forgive me if this is the case i this instance...but What, No 45's?: A Selection of Northern Soul Only Out on LP, a collection of two-dozen performances lost in the grooves before Northern DJs brought them to light. Not collectable, but a dozen in one place.

that is a good question Benji. and i don't now know. You are correct. I do think it was about $5,000 in Sept 2017 [£3,800], ( although it did go up and down like a yo-yo in Sept 2017). I can only think that my math got in the way and i multiplied it or something. Either way... you get my drift. 1 BC =[$1] Feb 2011 – April 2011, could have been worth $6.180[£4,707) on 21st Oct 2017.

just as a postcript... Gwen Owens -Just Say You're Wanted ( And Needed ) / Still True To You John Manship (sold) 2007 2017 Diff Assume similar condition £3,516 £4,250 +£734 Savings account invest £3,516 - Savings account withdraw - £4,589 +£1,073 Standard & not adjusting for inflation From 2007 to 2017 the average savings interest rate (crudely) would be 2.07%. It started 2007 at 5.5% and by 2016 was 1.23% I'd sooner have had the record for 10yrs OR i could have saved for 10yrs and bought it last week on JM, and still had change. By comparison though; 1 Bit Coin 2009 2017 (Sept) £20 £746,000 (yup...£746K)

I was in a conversation when JB and The Hightlighters Band cropped up, and i mentioned i'd once heard TLOMG played before at least 1972/74. But was poo-pooed. So i was probably wrong, or maybe it was a one-off? (it being the flip) So i wondered...at which venue was "The Love of My Girl" played most and when? Or doesn't it get out much? maybe someone at Prestatyn 2004 weekender may know- i understand JB was on the bill. cheers

that's a nice moment for those folks...

i do the similar thing as bbrich. i use (un tech i know) access db with A&R, lable, pics, writers, etc. One day i'll migrate it to SQL or some such thing and maybe 'webize it'. Anyhow, should i ever decide to sell, i'd most likely give the db away with the sale of my records.

The Equals, Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys ( or a title close to this) used to play out a lot in Manchester.

The Motown Mansion Auction closed last night at 7pm Detroit time. There were quite a few lots... Lot 0028 1969 BMI Award For Marvin Gaye's "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing". Presented to JOBETE MUSIC Co., Inc in recognition of popularity in Rhythm and Blues Field. Dimensions Unframed: 16" x 12" Sold for $600 Lot 0025 Martha Reeves signed bowling alley ashtray sold for $250 https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/109958_motown-mansion-detroit-history-auction/

Beggin- Timebox My copy has an ex-Radio Caroline DJ (Paul Rusling) signature scribbled on it- to let shipmates know who's copy it was. I guess it diminishes it's value...but a little piece of Pirate Radio history nontheless.

sublime...

hi Mike why do you think this hasn't quite 'taken-off' (maybe yet?). For me, it would be a trusted way to buy (and maybe sell) from SS members. Not having looked to deep...i guess it's just PayPal F&F between adverstiser and buyer, or other such transaction-is it? seems like a good idea to me-am i missing something.

a well written, thoughtful piece. thanks for posting

reminded of this one via a radio prog i listened to recently... The Daisies-Cold Wave

The Velvelettes for me. BelleVue.

another 'sort of wierd one'- and not my favourite, but worth a mention...maybe. Amy Winehouse's 2007 CD Back to Black for the single "Tears Dry on Their Own". The track is based on a sample of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's 1967 Motown hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

the best use of 9 minutes i'll make this year. thanks for posting.
