Hi everyone

I just joined your site and would like to tell you a little bit about me first.

My name is Nik, and I'm 40 years old, and been a Northern Soul fan for 28 years, ever since I went to Alexandra Youth Club, Edgerly, Stockport, at the age of 12.

The very first Northern Soul Record I ever heard was: -

Peggy March - "If You Loved Me"

Since then I've been hooked!

In my youth I was a member of Wigan Casino, Cleethorps, Rotherham, Keel, and one or two other soul night places.

Ok, that's enough about me; first of all I'd like to ask if anyone could value 2 records for me in today's market?

The records are: -

Johnny Appalachian - "Up In Smoke" - Goldie 1104 DJ copy. Mint Condition.

and

Gino Washington - "Like My Baby" (Vocal) - Atac DJ copy. Mint Minus Condition.

Both can be heard here: - www.soulclub.org

Next, I've been chasing some records and would like to ask if anyone has copies of the following and would like to sell them, please contact me: -

nik770@hotmail.com

Eddie Daye and the 4 Bars, "Guess Who Loves You" - Shrine 112

Jon and the Weirdest, - "Can't Get Over These Memories" - Tie 101

King Tutt, - "You've Got Me Hung Up" - Fun City 461

Crow, - "You're Autumn Of Tomorrow" - Inner Ear 429

ZZ and Company, - "Gettin' Ready For The Getdown" - Columbus 51679

I pay top prices for records in Mint, or Mint Minus Condition.

And finally I have some records for sale, so make me an offer for one, or all of them?

Thanks for taking the time to read this :o)

Gino Washington – “Like My Baby” (Vocal) – Atac DJ copy. Mint Minus Condition

this is listed at 150 in latest manship guide and 100 in the first guide to give you some idea

Thanks for your help, but Manship doesn't list a DJ copy. Also manship's guide isn't always correct, as I've seen records he list's at £15, go for £250?

I think a record is worth whatever someone wants to pay for it.

Thanks for your comments everyone!

I was just thinking, It's a shame we still don't have youth clubs like Alexandra!

It would keep the kids off the street a few nights a week, and introduce them to "our" kinda music, like it did with us lot. That's why there are very few youngsters in today's scene.

i'll buy the queenie lyons 45

i'm interested in the Cheryl Berdell my last copy got nicked in Leeds, I know it's common but not over here in the States How much do you want for it

DJ

ZZ and Company, - "Gettin' Ready For The Getdown" - Columbus 51679

One just gone on Manship's auction. Price is very low at £91 (watch this go sky high!! ;-] ), just thought I'd let you know...

That is actually quite cheap compared to niter prices!!!!
