It certainly found its way into just about every collector's record shop from Boston to Philly as well as to most of the serious collectors and dealers who frequented the monthly record shows in the northeastern US, and it most certainly had a huge impact on the price and availability of records. While price guides have a way of seemingly making records less affordable to those acting as a middle-man, there's a flipside to this as well. It makes those records more available to the people willing to pay the price for them by virtue of the fact that the low-balling middle-man will leave records behind that he deems too expensive. Good (read pricey) records thus accumulate over time and the people willing to pay more for records end up getting a very fine selection of records to choose from. Another phenomenon also occurs. Those middle-men wishing to remain in the business of buying and selling records usually end up paying closer and closer to the book price for quite a lot of items and then marking them up over book price when selling them on. I think that's part of the reason values have skyrocketed over the last few years. If you look back to Soussan's book or even Manship's first guide, some of those prices look almost cheap now. I think the advent of ebay as a central marketplace for record transactions has had a much larger impact on the buying and selling of records than any price guide, however. The ability of remote sellers to reach even more remote buyers eliminates the need to rely on a guide to value most records. Any record that is well-known amongst the collecting community will find its rightful value via the supply and demand on ebay. One of the only categories you can't put on ebay and get a predictably decent price for is the "unknown" or "lesser known" 45, and price guides don't really help or hurt those sales either. Well said not a truer word spoken!! BAZ A.

For every dealer in the US in the know there are plenty who dont that was the mantra right up to the quides and basically if you were fortunate to get out there then you coul do quite well.Alot of Us dealers now sell online and the quides are used alot in this respect,IF YOUR OUT THERE INFRONT OF THEM [the lesser known ones]then green talks imo.

Heard some cackers over the years stuff lik "whats up with you is it not f--kin rare enough"[a good mate having a laugh],Karl Herd at Burnley got a complaint that he needed to play faster records lol,his spot was totally uptempo!!! As Rod says it is emdemic to the british pysche,holidays are the best once the brits get off the topic of sun towels,shit food,germans,crap beer,too hot,shit accomodation,no british papers,etc etc etc,why should soul nights be any different?
