If you ever get asked "what is a Northern Soul record?" then probably this is the best thing you could play.

That is one beautiful watch, well done !

I'd buy more record if international post was less expensive. If a seller puts "free postage" be sure he/she'll put the starting price to cover that, fine if it's $12.00 from the US but not so good if they ask $20 - 25. I know it's not easy but best way is to buy a whole bunch from the same seller or get a local mate to collect all your record purchases and ship as one lot.

Not booted, came out on UK Tamla Motown. Worth about + - £40 depending on condition.

Been watching some well known sellers on Ebay and continue to be astonished at the prices they're getting, a really rough James Barnett at £180.00, in the real world not worth more than + - £70.00. My EX demo sold for £255 in January, it played mint.

What dates (ish) ?

That's a very good price, I've seen them go for £40 - 50

I sold this one in January this year for £38.00

That's a very good question, I've seen them go anywhere from £50 to £100.00 depending on condition, you should get a good one for about + - £60/70.00 the UK Atlantic ones go for less.

I've had a couple, they're all styrene with stick on labels.

Taken in London a few weeks ago.

It also came out on the local Hill records label.

Grab some cheap CDs, best are Grapevine Northern Soul ones, should be out there for just few quid a piece. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-HITS-NORTHERN-SOUL-100-TRACKS-5-CD-SET-NEW-SEALED-/142197623822?hash=item211ba38c0e:g:acEAAOSwu1VW3FFw

I used to go to the Orchid at around that time, to be honest I don't remember him.

Guess that £1.00 album gonna rise in value then ?

Discography: made by these two bands ar Discography: 45 - Chicago/Gipsy (Thuban Six CPI 7010 - 197?) 45 - Chicago/Toast and marmalade for tea (Gran Prix CPI 7010 - 197? - jukebox) 45 - Lady in black/And the day will be so kind (Thuban Six THS 16001 - 197?) 45 - Gipsy/Lady in black (Thuban Six THS 16001 - 197? - jukebox) + LP Two singles (and two others probably only released as jukebox promo issues) appeared for this group, all covers of popular songs played rather well, and both were probably issued around 1971. Among the songs they recorded, And the day will be so kind is an original, while there are two Uriah Heep's covers and one by Graham Nash. Their style is hard prog with a good use of organ. Two instrumental LP's were also issued under the name Blue Sharks, and some say that behind this name hid the composer Stelvio Cipriani, as many of the tracks are credited to his nickname Ipcress. The albums are Funny walk (Leonardi L 20) and It became crystal (Leonardi SL 27), and both came out in the early 70's. It's likely that Blue Sharks were the same musicians also known as Dirty, because the versions of And the day will be so kind made by these two bands are identical. e identical.

Only owned this once bought in Italy, think I paid + - £150.00 really, really struggled to get £200.00 for it (thik sold it on here) in spite of who it is or not it is a good version. Interestingly enough there was a 70/80s group Belgian group called Blue Sharks who recorded stuff in Italy, I used to have an album from them.

"Toast and marmalade for tea"

Whoops !

gone

Can someone post a sound file of Mike Morton version ? There were a couple of release under the name Blue Sharks on Gran Prix.

This from Mick Holdsworth 28 December (my birthday;-) 2011 quote : You probably mean one of the many Mike Morton LP There was a rumour about 2 years ago that this LP version by Mike Morton was the exact same recording as Blue Sharks. It wasn't. I did get both the LP's at the time, one with "These Things", and a second LP with "Heaven Must Have Sent You" (coincidentally, this second LP also had "Banner Man" on it). Neither "These Things" nor "Banner Man" were anything like the Blue Sharks recordings. All 3 Mike Morton Recordings were pretty poor. I also seem to remember all the tracks were faded together.

The 2012 thread.

I struggled to get £200 for mine.

I see the bidder have generally little feedback, usually a sign of ignorance
