    About a year ago, found a rare lp in Relics Leeds, whilst I was checking the condition (the vinyl in Relics is kept behind the counter so you have to ask for it) the guy looked it up on popsike and realised he had underpriced the record by approx £385 and wouldn't sell it to me. I was stupid for not just buying the record without checking it!

    If you just Google the record the first thing that comes up is the discogs link to the UK press, with 2 copies for sale

    This is the only decent lulu 45 as sampled by fat boy slim https://youtu.be/2G5HpRiO2_k

    Job lot of 118 mixed singles - mostly 60s - several Northern Soul - might be of interest to some! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/351599121719? cheers Rob

    Great record. In my opinion more likely to be a psych or acid rock group than a 'funk' group so if I were you I would start looking in that 'area' first.

    Sorry ignore me...getting confused!

    I just youtubed it and there's an Italian rare earth copy with the creepy intro.

    Always thought this rare EP only track by Paul Jones had something of a NS sound...from the poppy end of NS obviously but still a pretty good track...

    they sound like a pair of dickheads imo

    you have to close the case yourself, if you just leave it then ebay just closes the matter and you don't get your fees back

    Bobby Wilburn - I'm a Dreamer - 40p in a Leeds charity shop - some time around 2005

    if they can get £35 for it then fair play to them...it's called capitalism and its the economic system we all have to live within unfortunately. I don't understand why you think greed come into it. Like if I buy a washing machine I'll shop around and probably get it from AO instead of Currys - more fool people who pay over the odds they have either a deficit of sense or an excess of money

    My advice would be to go to some record fairs and just start buying cheap 45s you like the look of. Yes some will be crap but in the long run you'll have more fun, put put the time and effort in and you will certainly find a few rare records, and some that you love, but more importantly they will be your own discoveries

    Al Foster Band £9.99 start https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AL-FOSTER-BAND-NIGHT-OF-THE-WOLF-Roulette-Original-Northern-Soul-45-/351289644597? thanks Rob

    re. Lenny Curtis - look at the position of the 961 relative to the red band, or the cat. number at the bottom relative to the text nearest it, there appears to be a difference in spacing in the two scans, I would say it's a different record
  20. Thecivilservice
    just look them up on www.popsike.com - then, if they're worth anything, sell them on ebay - that's all you need to do. Take them to a dealer and you'll get a tiny fraction of their value

    This sounds quite promising for about 8 seconds...

    Most shops in Greenwich village, Lower East Side and East Village etc don't open until mid day or so but will often then open until midnight
  23. Thecivilservice
    Release 100 of any of these records and then the value of each is no longer 5K due to the increased supply = why this sort of scam will never be profitable enough to actually happen
  24. Thecivilservice
    You can send them much, much cheaper than that, I managed to send a singer sewing machine, really heavy, to the US for less than that, so 30 singles which weigh hardly anything should be much less than that. try some discount shipping sites

    I'm talking six years, not 40 years - the cost of vinyl has at least trebled in this time, nothing to do with inflation, it is part of the deliberate re positioning of vinyl as a ltd edition, collectors format and the buy-in of this by kids and hipsters who probably don't even own a record player and old guys who sold their collection in the 90s, bought CDs, digitised their collections in the 2000s and are now re-buying the repackaged classic LPs of their youth at £30 to £40 a go.
