  1. didn't manship auction one, so there specifically was some more interest right around that time?
  2. I guess I would say 150-200 pounds would be a fair price (I would pay that if I needed it and didn't have it), especially given that it comes up for sale hardly ever, and especially given the stupid prices people quote on here for common-ass records
  3. I like the "your love comes slower than ever" side, I would rate it at $200 maybe. I think I got mine from adey pierce at 75 pounds at 2:1 exchange rate but it was like VG+. Rarely comes up though so it's one of those things that depends on who's looking, I would have paid more than $200 maybe if it was mint and I still hadn't found one.
  4. I think it's the case of a record being "discovered" and a surge in popularity and then copies coming out and a loss of interest.
  5. I can dig it. The record is very similar, it's neither identical enough to be a cover nor is it directly a response enough to be an "answer" either.
  6. also, I thought there's no way to remove feedback anymore (or at least the "mutual feedback removal" process is gone now)?
  7. I was actually calling it an answer record based more on the lyrics actually. What else makes an answer record besides the same rhythm track, melody, and lyrics that respond to the original ones? The imaginations record she's talking about things that a lady ain't supposed to do also in it.
  8. that's funny, I had assumed it was another seller who had the osborne guide speculating buying to resell and that anyone who actually knew about northern wouldn't want to buy a rolling stones cover.
  9. the positive result to the story is that he blackmailed you into sending you a record for free? didn't you have recourse to get the feedback removed since he didn't pay you had you had a NPB strike filed?
  10. some seller on ebay had the promo up as a featured auction all hyped up and I emailed them saying that it was worthless as a promo and they were all friendly about it like "oops" (apparently the osborne guide actually has the promo listed for money) and they STILL ended up getting like $150!!! I think there are a lot of confused people buying on ebay.
  11. you could buy the record that it's an answer to though (cynthia and the imaginations). I always wondered how a georgia group did an answer record to an obscure detroit group.
  12. Today on my radio show I interviewed two members of legendary Chicago soul group the Radiants, the original lead singer Maurice McAlister and member Wallace Sampson, the only singer who was a member of every lineup of the group. I usually write up a bio of the group but it was a great interview and it's worth listening to Maurice and Wallace tell all the stories of all their songs, check it out at the bottom of my interviews page at: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews.html thanks, Bob

    I just gave you a link to a non-imaginary one that just ended a few days ago for $7, it's not that hard a record, it comes up and never goes for much. someone's not asking you to sell a ferrari for $100, you think you have a diamond when you have a cubic zirconium
  14. other gil scott soundalikes might be other early 70s jazz-soul vocalists like leon thomas or andy bey

    my bad, I just searched for it, it didn't have ripped labels, but it was VG: https://cgi.ebay.com/Northern-Soul-45-The-Intrigues-Bullet-Lbl-In-A-Moment_W0QQitemZ220454003251QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item3354152233&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

    yeah, that copy you won on ebay with the ripped label for a few bucks is really worth a bazillion dollars and the fact that it was a national hit makes it a 25 pound record on yew...
  17. are you sure they're all different and not just different lighting in the photographs, etc.?
  18. Patti Hamilton Linda Jones Barbara Lynn Gladys Knight there ya go. but mainly Patti Hamilton.
  19. my parents never owned a record player actually. i got into soul music by listening to rap music first, most people in the US my age who know anything about soul probably have a similar history (although they probably know more about funk than sweet soul).
  20. i also have a weird canadian press of the wilson brothers and even though it's labeled "I'll always love you" it plays an entirely different track altogether, I don't know if it's a different track by the group or a different group entirely. thanks for listening to my shows.

    isn't the stock much more common than the promo?
  22. james trouble could probably tell you what mutual funds to buy instead to make a better return on your investment
  23. I think the promo is pretty common and is on ebay all the time, I would say 300 is too much. i very rarely see the stock copy though.
  24. it's hard to find a clean copy of this, most copies are styrene with whitening of the grooves and distortion in my experience for some reason
  25. i swear that john wesley is on ebay every single week, there's a billion in popsike (way more than the cheaper one), i can't believe it's still so expensive actually. it's usually trashed though.
