THIS WORKS BOTH WAYS,REMEMBER WIGAN 1979 INSPIRATIONS ON MIDAS YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND,ABOUT £80 DEEMED A SMALL FORTUNE AND AT THE TIME WAY OVER THE ODDS! HOWEVER CURLYMOORE ONLY £200 ,JOHNNY ROBINSON BOUT THE SAME,BOTH ON E BAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.I AGREE WHEN 2 PEOPLE PUSH THE BOAT OUT,PAID £60 QUID FOR AN ISONICS FROM ANGLO YEARS AGO AND SOLD IT FOR WELL OVER 800 DOLLARS ON EBAY,THIS WAS DEFINETLY A DEMAND THING. TO ME THE FREE MARKET HAS ALWAYS MADE COLLECTING RARE SOUL A PLEASUREABLE HOBBY COS AT SOME POINT ,IVE COLLECTED SINCE 79,A BIT NOUS AND SUSS COME INTO THE EQUATION. HOWEVER IF I WAS TO LIST EVERY RECORD I HAVE PAID OVER THE ODDS FOR I THINK I WOULD BE ON HERE ALL DAY.REMEMBER THE TSU TORNADOES-ONLY INSIDE SPUN AT STAFFORD I PAID £50 FOR WHEN IT WAS SPUN,NOW THAT IS A FIVE QUID RECORD IF EVER THERE WAS ONE. BAZ A.

I THINK THE MORE POWER TO YOU TRACK BY HAROLD BURRAGE KNOCKS SPOTS OF THE REST OF THEM,JUST SPUN IT AND CANT BELIEVE HOW RIGHT IT IS FOR TODAY. CHECK IT OUT FOLKS AND CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A SOUND CLIP. CHEERS BAZ [GOOD THREAD THIS]
