more like 10cents Steve!

A few of those cost over 99p Rob! Cheating!

My Tarpon copy has the piano intro. It's the green label copy.

I was absolutely basing it on the musical content rather than the value. I've never discriminated against a record based on its financial cost merely it's perceived quality. I wouldn't bother buying Rare Soul records if this was the case. Like it or not we inhabit a scene where poor quality records are highly valued because of their rarity. I believe this is a case in point. You believe differently. Neither of us is right or wrong.

When I "washed my ears out" I heard a pretty uncommitted and amateurish vocal with a half-decent backing track. Hey-ho! Such is the Rare Soul scene. Sadly you don't seem to "respect my opinion", but I'll get over it... I will concede that the label design is quite nice - it looks like a rare record should. Getting back on topic - Jackey Beavers version on SS7 is very nice - So is the Jaber version. One is a tenner or thereabouts - the other is a lot more. You pays your money and takes your choice... ;-)

If the Camaros was a ten quid record no-one would be interested. It's pretty unremarkable. (IMHO etc etc...)

Why bother? Back in the day my real life saw me designing record sleeves for "superstar dj's" like The Chemical Brothers. They were paid unbelievably vast amounts for playing out records they were given for nothing. In contrast us muppets on the rare soul scene pay vast amounts for records we play out for nothing. In most cases we wouldn't even get our tube fares/petrol money. Why would anyone bother assembling a ridiculously expensive collection of rare records unless you were an eccentric millionaire? Arguably for the love of the music - which is why we mugs do it - but surely not for the kudos? The other consideration is that a lot of the landmark/popular records on the rare soul scene in the last 25+ years or so were from the vaults and therefore money wouldn't count for much anyway.

Nolan by any Chance?
