thats probably where he saw it pete after a quick google search

i`m on my second copy at £150....managed to keep a hold of it......paid 70 for it initially

is this the guy that did new york new york so good they named it twice

awake triple b french googa mooga

i agree with ian....still a very rare record but still under 4 figures imo

TONY MOORE NOW SOLD

nice price duncan for a clean copy

this plays exactly the same take as elvin spencer on twinight

no not me len ..only jesting

i bet you like r n b

paul ackley from newton aycliffe....bought it from brownie....would be one and the same copy i would have thought

only difference i found is charity means handbags and jean genies

crying clown not suited to mr parkers voice....youre jesting of course...either that or your ears are made of cloth sir

theres been 2 or 3 from other sellers on the strength of the big buck copy in early december but like you say the ferbia fella has put up quite a few and lets just say he`s not concerned about the 45`s welfare on another note the guy with all the stax/volt stuff has been puttin em on ebay again......paul thompson..charlene etc

not just him trev .......one or two more puttin up random copies. also .....i wonder if the guy that payed £600 for the first one is a bit pissed about it ps......i seen a dozen in last 2 months

softouch now on hold

thats what i meant ted....i never heard secretly til you played and strangely i thought you still had it.....i said hello to your old kell osbourne w/d the other day

ive had 75 45`s up for sale in the last week and sold 55 of em so for me the buyers market is alive and kicking...... maybe its about the pricing if its right it sells if its not it wont. records come in and go out of fashion some come back in some will never be back... once a price goes up folk are reluctant to see it come back down again. maybe the guides have done no favours in this and some will sit on a record booked at 100 til the day they die rather than part with it for less.. but every record will sell for the right price for many many years to come imvho

i sort of understand what your saying barry although it is a bit disjointed.....there was a time when i thought i`d never sell a record thinking it would be like a death in the family.......now in the last 4 years ive sold more 45`s than john manship.....also for me the scene is totally different and not the one i first came onto years ago.. and to me we seem to be getting frogmarched into `retro `dom......this is one of the main reasons behind the sunday chillout that we do where we dont have any policies as such and getting dancers is not that important..its ok to dance but not the be all and end all......it needs to be kept fresh like in the old days of stafford etc. but on friday and saturday night it seems most of the do`s go thru the motions and for anyone puttin on a decent do..its a labour of love..........i`m startin to ramble now and maybe ive missed your point barry as i just looked back at your first post and you mention a central point of dancing and appreciation has changed.....today it seems to be all about the dancers ( who usually get up to the wrong records or tired records) and less more about appreciation

i thought there was a usa epic 45 of this..in fact i`m sure it was their hit record oops...just read diddy`s post properly so yes only official uk 60`s release
