It says there's one born every minute. It's a boot. I used to deal with a couple of dj's on beach scene and they often booted UK 45s I'd sent them because they got popular and weren't readily available. As to value you do have a point if it has gone for that kinda money. If I were Swifty I guess I'd shove it on Discogs as it sold on there previously. Say £150 [bargain !] with the option to make an offer. I see you've mastered the art of British polite understatement.

Ordered Saturday, arrived Monday. Can't get better than that. Thanks Mike.

You may know 'em but recommend these two

I'm in exactly the same position as you except my reaction is "FFS" whenever I see something in my collection going for what I consider to be a lot of money. Just tells me similar 45s are now out of my price range. I've given up buying apart from the odd previously unreleased item I like. And whilst I assume bids on JM or any other auction are honoured I see a lot of IMO overpriced set sale 45s going round and round.

Sonics is earliest cut.

Kinda linked I suppose

Referring to "What's going on" which came out in 1971 I think, I've always thought this Jimmy Thomas track from 1969 has a very similar musical feel.

Yes awful. Came out in UK so I came across it at the time as bit of a British collectors thing though never heard it played out. Hard to get I guess though a copy on Discogs now in VG+ for £15.

I'm not keen either. Sounds like funk/rock to me and reminds me of Dianne Davidson.

I know what you mean. When I'm fishing I don't know if I'm going to pull out the equivalent of a Magnetics on Bonnie or a Pye copy of Footsee, though usually the latter ! I have stock Appreciations so we can dismiss that from the list. I think for something on regular issue to be rare and worth noticing there has to be a lot of promo copies around. And vice versa. I reckon yellow demos of "I'm the one to do it" and "Hope we have" are instances of uncommon formats considering the vast amount of issues.

Two of you ! There is help available. Crisis Action for Spotters Habits does sterling work. If you wish to make a donation a cheque made out to C.A.S.H. and sent to me will go a long way to removing this scourge from our society.

Just like to point out here that contrary to the impression given that this get-together was a meeting of like-minded chinstrokers, it was in fact a meeting of the support group to help Geoff with his addiction to trainspotting. Lately it's got much worse culminating in his poor wife finding the 9.15 am train from Clitheroe to Blackburn hidden under Geoff's bed. He's gone off the rails and just trying to get him back on track.

I'm not so sure you should be arranging a chinstrokers convention round my house. Last time you all buggered off and left me to wash and tidy up.

Later cut with strings is other side of "If your mother only knew" Actually ignore that. I always assumed 54028 had no strings but clip here has strings. Bob Klein will know.

I think there's two cuts of Miracles track that were issued.

Had one for years off Anderson which I've mentioned on here before. I did notice on Popsike a copy sold for $400 back in May 2021. Up until that I thought I may have had the only copy. https://www.popsike.com/Northern-Soul-45-Tamiko-Jones-Im-Spellbound-Golden-World-Lbl-BONUS-PHOTO/353506049664.html

There's three on Popsike in last 12 months at £702, 750 and 875. All poor shape [as is copy referred to by John A]. Nice copy in May 2020 at $2200 [£1608].

Rings a faint bell.

Got it sometime mid 70's from a guy in Carolinas. Probably swapped it for some UK Drifters on Arista. Obviously liked it [and still do] or wouldn't have kept it but to my ears it somehow sounded "draggy" as if backing should have been a jot faster to meld with the vocals.

Hopefully selling as a job lot as no longer interested in selling or buying records. Estimated prices shown so will take £90 for the lot plus whatever postage comes to. Mostly all mintish. Superbs 45 is not great IMO but some moron on eBay sold it to me as M- which is part of the reason I can't be bothered anymore.

You are assuming the 45 was in the original box or boxes. Back in 79/80 I once came across 500 or so Sherlock Holmes all in one box. The other 45s were also in very large boxes. Just the way the seller stored them I guess. Around that same time Larry [Ray] Pietowski told me about Cadet warehouse in Detroit. Long time ago but pretty sure he mentioned Cecil being in there. Has he had not been able to get in and knowing he knew Koppell well, I wonder if that was where Koppell was talking about. Anyway phoned Cadet and got in ! We both went round. Hundreds of Gary Haines Loads on PANIK label. A row of Hyperions I think. However no Cecil but then only in there 30 minutes or so as the owner came in and berated the employee who had let us in and threw us out.

Knowing you I'm undecided whether you were ahead of the curve or just round the bend. During lockdown and reaching 69 recently I came to the conclusion that in relation to the cost spending on 45s no longer makes sense. Took up fishing instead. A learning process. Had the hook in my own lip the other week !
