Jim G Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) From JM Auction - what is the record going to be!!! On Thursday this space will be taken by a NORTHERN SOUL 7" LEGEND! It seems I've been waiting ALL my life to even see a copy, it's now in my hands and I'm almost suffering from premature…. death. Thrilled wasn't the word when a little old couple flew to England came into my office and politely asked if we would you like to auction this 45 for them. Good job those statins work, I was instantly thinking "do they do Tena pants for men? This was a proper NS "Tutankhamen" moment for me, hopefully it will be for you too.

There's just not enough information here. We need to know where they flew in from as that will affect the money in their pocket. If they live in Corfu, you can get good prices with ScramJet and so would make sense even for a £5k record. But if the old couple came from California; well, thats quite a few thousand pounds to knock off...Some god-given-gift of a hunce tells me its America, another hunce that they are really here on holiday and thought they'd pop in to save Mr Gordy going to the post office - and they planed to go to Melton on their trip anyway to pick up some of those rather nice pork pies with Stilton on top from the world famous pork pie shoppe. I think we're now getting closer. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Marc Forrest Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) it has to be something that has since before, thought to be unreleased... good call. was thinking somethings similar although it could also be sth that was LP-only so far or a another case of a Frankie Beverly ROUSER /Fairmount situation. Or a one-off acetate where someone found a real 45 (Esther Grant ? ) Also would include Junior McCants as a possibility knowing that there is one other copy still around which hasnt yet surfaced as far as I know....I mean, not really many possibilities left since he auctioned the Frank Williams, Antellects, Andantes, Del-Larks, Inticers, Eddie Parker, Gogate 45s, the Shrine cataloge. etc etc ...at a guess JM must have seen or even autcioned almost every other rare Northern Soul record in the past ?

Marc Forrest Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 On re-reading the first sentence it MUST be a record that was thought or rumoured to exist on 7inch but so far no one (well at least not JM) had ever seen a copy of. So come on you Rare Soul Sherlock Holmes of this world...get your heads working! ..or sit back relax and wait till thursday Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tommaso Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) First record I thought about was the Mello Souls.

Guest Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys this is really fun, thanks for the interest. Spanner just woke me from my Chardonny stuper, to ask what the hell it is - well the guesses so far are really great - The Frank Beverley on Rouser was a spooky one because we have one that was going to be next week's headliner - but for me personally, and many other old schools NS pensioners this Thursday unvailing will mean so much more... so preceeds Frankie for a week or two It's not exclusive but 99% of NS collectors will not ever have seen it - there's is another copy - but this record has stood the test of time with 4 decades of myth building surrounding it's existence, The record itself is sublime Northern Soul, the clothes it's wearing is just pulsatingly fabulous... I'm a vinyl idiot and get excited by labels, sounds and condition... I've never had this record, ever and I don't mind admitting I've always dreamed of seeing, holding and being able to present it. Owning it would be unfair... as there are out there, vinyl-heads even more consumed by real rarity than me. quick clue - If you were a sheep your boss would stop you bidding on it - if your a "Brit" and had to rely on it - you'd be let down.
