NOW THE ONLY ARCHIVES TRACK I HAVE IS BY LEE ELDRED CALLED RECOUPERATING ,WITH A BRILL FLIP BALLAD,£15 OFF JOHN MANSHIP AND THE BEST £15 EVER SPEND,STILL HOWEVER DONT KNOW THE LOGO ORIGIN. LORD LUTHER GREAT MOVER,WEST COAST COULD BE,STILL UNSURE THE FLIP IS A TERRIBLE VERSION OF HOUSE OF THE RISING SON. ON HENRY STONE A LAD FROM AYCLIFFE IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES GOT INTO THE TK STUDIOS AND DONE REALLY WELL,BROUGHT SOME VERY JUICY TRACKS BACK INDEED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MATE,DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER TRACKS ON SONG BIRD ,I HAVE THE INEX ANDREWS TRACK WHICH IS DEFINETLY GODSPELL TINGED BUT BRILLIANT ALSO. CHEERS BAZ A.

LORD LUTHER MY MISTAKE ON SCHIRECK [GOT ONE BUT NOT A CLUE ON THE AREA KNOW ITS HARD THOUGH AND BRILL IMHO] ALSO WAS SONG BIRD THROUGH DUKE CAN ANYONE CONFIRM? FINALLY THE ARCHIVES LOGO ANY INFORMATION APPRECIATED. COME ON CHALKY ,HELP A SAD OLD MAN LIKE ME. BAZ A.

SAD NEWS INDEED. RIP. BAZ A.

THE FLIP IS CLASS[ ILL KEEP ON TRYING] AND HIS OTHER STUFF ON THIS LOGO IS CLASS ALSO,WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS IS TRUELY HORRENDOUS. BAZ A.

THREE SOMETIMES FOUR BUSES TO WIGAN FROM THE NORTH EAST.I WAS A REGULAR ON THE DARLINGTON BUS ,WHCH HAD ANGELS COMPARED TO THE NEWCASTLE AND BORO BUSES. REGULAR BUSES FROM THE NEWTON AYCLIFFE AREA ALSO. ALWAYS STOPPED AT KIRBY STEPHEN UNTILL THE LOCAL POLICE BARRED US FOR MANY CRIMES INCLUDING INVADING THE LOCAL PUB AND STEALING ALL OF THE SHEEPSKINCOATS,WELLIES AND BEANSTALKERS,WE ALL WALKED ABOUT THE CASINO THAT NIGHT DRESSED AS FARMERS. THE NORTH EAST WAS ALWAYS WELL REPRESENTED AT THE CASINO AND THE BUSES WERE [AND THIS IS NO UNDERSTATEMENT FULL OF ABSOLUTE NUTTERS]. GOOD TIMES BAZ A.

HI KEITH ,YOU TOOK 1250 SINGLES OF ME IN 1997 [CAN YOUREMEMBER]AND YOU ACTED WITH DIGNITYAND INTEGRITY,MUST OF KNOWN ABOUT THE PAIN I WENT THROUGH,THE MONEY PAID FOR LAW SCHOOL MATE.I REALLY WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND ECHOE THE SENTIMENTS OF ALL THE COMMENTS SO FAR. GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE. BAZ A.

IM SURE LOTS OF US HAVE THE FEAR OF RECORDS NICKED I COVERED MY COLLECTION LAST YEAR BUT THE PREMIUM HAS GONE UP THIS YEAR,ANY GOOD BROKERS,COMPANIES TO CONTACT THAT DO THIS KIND OF THING.THE NOVELTY OF INSURING RECORDS DOES NOT HELP,BUT ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. BAZ A.

Yes that is spot on the fluid nature of what collectors are prepared to pay to me adds up to seizing the chance on the free market at the right time when you have the oportunity to purchase.The price quide is a subjective view of one collectors market experience over a certain period[to me a breath of fresh air because it gives the scene more kudos]prices whether we had quides or not [and i prefer to have them]have always varied upon demand and supply and that is how it should be.Trends on the northern scene do change alot etc but the bottomline is the real quality discs we all want always find there rightful price [and hopefully place]. BAZ A

yes the figure is 68k. CHEERS BAZ A.

VERY VALID POINTS HERE AND A GOOD THREAD.MY VIEW FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH IS THAT AFTER 28 YEARS BUYING THE ONLY RULE IS THE FREE MARKET RULE IE MAKE AN OFFER AND SEE IF YOU GET IT. CANT BLAME BRIT DEALERS FOR GOING OFF THE BOOK,THE QUESTION IS DO THERE SELL ALL THERE STUFF AT BOOK PRICE WHEN AT LEAST 70% OF STUFF PRICED AT 100 QUID OR LESS CAN BE PICKED UP ON E BAY FOR $9.99. SURE THERE IS DEBT ABOUT BUT THAT IS A WIDER PROBLEM THAN JUST BUYING RARE SOUL,IT IS THE SYMPTON OF A SOCIETY WHICH TO A CERTAIN EXTENT HAS LOST IT WAY. HOUSE PRICES,FLASH CARS,KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES ETC CONSUMER SOCIETY GONE MAD ,LOTS OF MY MATES COLLECT HIP HOP ETC AND THERE ARE JUST AS BAD AS ME,SO ITS NOT JUST NORTHERN. BAZ A.

ANYONE GOT ONE? PM ME BAZ A.

Sold 1250 records to pay for law school ,i was so skint after my degree,stuff like billy hambric,fab apollos [got that back of tim brown]moses dillard,moses smith on cottillion and some awesome detroit ,too many to mention really.fortunes turn but and managed to get most back,still not got a moses dillard though [pay the price]. BAZ A.

look forward to the disc. cheers BAZ A.

PM ME I CAN HELP. BAZ A.

HAD SOME CRAZY NIGHTS WITH THE BIG LAD [HIS TASTE WAS IMPECCABLE]LOVED HIS PHILLY SOUL,STOPPED HIM GETTING BEAT UP ONCE AT THE SHOTTS NIGHTER ARGUEING WITH SOME ROUGH SCOTTISH LADS ABOUT THE MINERS STRIKE.THIS TAPE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND RIGHTLY SO,HE DROPPED OFF FOR HIS OWN REASONS BUT BOY IS HE MISSED! BAZ A.

NICE ONE BAZ A.

OH YES THERE IS THAT AS WELL [PREFER JOHN MOORE AND HIS VIETNAM STORIES ARE GOOD AS WELL]. BAZ A.

HE GETS ALOT OF VISITS ,NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT,QUITE FAMOUS ON THE PHILLY RECORD CIRCUIT,I VISITED THIS YEAR GOT SOME BITS AND PIECES ,THE BIGGER STUFF [AND TO BE HONEST YOU WOULD NEED AT LEAST 3 WEEKS THERE TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK ABOUT YOU WOULD PAY THE BOOK FOR]. DONT BE DECIEVED ALL THE RARE RECORDS ARE IN THE UK ,SWEEPING STATEMENT BUT NOT AS INACCURATE AS MAY THINK. BAZ A.

DEFINETLY A BOOT. BAZ A.

oh freak scene is brilliant perhaps a good acronoymn for northern soul,prefer sonic youth myself particulary sister,theres a question what is sonic youths contribution to the northern scene? BAZ A.

THE MOST DUBIOUS DESCRIPTION ON E BAY IS MINT AND MINT-.THIS IS CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY A QUOTE STATING THE MANSHIP PRICE QUIDE PRICE[WE ALL KNOW THE MARKET DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT]. BAZ A.

DEFFO THE INSTRUMENTAL. BAZ A
