  1. Me and my mate have this longstanding joke, DID ANYONE EVER EAT ONE OF THOSE PIE`S IN THOSE PIE WARMERS AT WIGAN ON THE END OF THE RECORD BAR & THAT ONE UPSTAIRS? seemed to be in the same position every week
  2. Is this the same john bowie who is credited for writing SOUL STEP-THE DOGS-TREASURE?
  3. Got my message glass back cheers matey, This topic has been a personal bug bear of mine for years now, remember years ago in york there was a store called BOSTOCK RECORDS in this store you coul buy soul packs, a regular in these ten for a pund packs was betty swann-kiss my love goodbye-atlantic it seemed one out of two packs contained at least one of these, then somebody plays it and gets a danceflor reaction next thing it`s £250+
  4. Yeh saw that counts on here, a very good friend of mine who lives near us has one defo, just can`t understand how a really rare record can be priced
  5. Theres also other examples of this with such records as the counts on shrine, think thats a one or two count isn`t, maybe fw is just priced at what the person is willing to pay, just thought if a record is as rare as these weve mentioned, then shouldn`t they all be priced within the same bracket? or is the massive gap due to popularity or "DEMAND surely the records snould be priced in guides according to there rarity
  6. I was under the impression there was three frank wilson`s now, kenny`s, tims. and wasn`t there another found in a record store a few years ago? But as i`m saying the price difference between that and the inspirations is massive, at 3grand
  7. Probably the most embarrasing moment of my life. At wigan in the record bar where i spent most of my time, was looking through a large box when i pulled out a record that i new the title of but didn`t know the artist of the lad who was looking over my shoulder gasped WOW! so i asked the lad how much? he was talking and just turned round and said "four mate" so i pulled out a fiver and offered it to him, to wich he replied "NO MATE FOUR HUNDRED" the dealer was JOHNATHAN WOODLIFFE, THE RECORD THE FRANK WILSON needless to say i quickly returned my money to my pocket and dissapeared out of the record bar totally embarrassed
  8. Yeh good reply thought i might get one like that, it just makes you think how much "in demand" value is in records like FRANK WILSON etc, is it trully worth all those thousands of pounds or is there an " IN DEMAND" value in the price, what i`m getting at here is are records like THE INSPIRATIONS-NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE-BREAKTHROUGH, are not as in demand for dancefloors so is it valued accordingly, how many copies of that have turned up as against the FRANK WILSON track the price difference is massive
  9. Increasingly on here i see comments like, the value of this has increased because of demand, or price will rise because of demand,Just a question, if we are buying copies of limited issued rare soul, how suddenly because a record is becoming dance floor active, should the price rise usually significantly ie BETTY SWANN-RUBY ANDREWS, if the record hounds are turning up more copies due to demand then shouldn`t the price drop? just a question thats all
  10. Yeh i was thinking that malc, looks like an office new years party
  11. Steve karmen-breakaway how longs that intro?

  19. Think i was with you that night jorge, think it was £60, it was in a fifty box, then again if it was the same one he also had a lou pride for £50, and a don varner for £70, Think the lad was from derby

  22. Just been reading the post by wiganer1 on the valerie&bobby capers track, although its been touched on before on this site i`m sure, it would be intresting to know your views on instrumentals, and which are your favourite tracks, personally i love em and one of my fav`s is FRANK FOSTER-HARLEM RUMBLE,whats yours?
  23. Never seen that label before, great tune, saying that i`m a lover of what seems dying out now INSTRUMENTALS, don`t know why, by the way i heard this record the last record played at the peterborough nights? TOP SOUND
