Just been playing through my motown box and came across All i do Stevie Wonder one of those records that whenever i hear it i think i need to get a copy when its been sat there for god knows how long .Got me thinking what have other people stumbled across when going through there collections.

when i first heard tammi terrell all i do some one told me there was a version by stevie wonder, never heard that i thought must get myself one, yes youve guessed it had it for ages and never played it, never mind realising it was the same song.

also got a cd years ago with a track on it by the "blackbyrds" called "blackbird", could i fook find it until i looked at an album i had by the manhattans and low and behold there it was which was really silly as i regularly played another rack of the same album without realising

If you collect labels it's pretty common to not know exactly what records you don't have in the label run (especially if a lot of the records are crappy random titles). On ebay I watch items that look unfamiliar, then go to my shelf to check, and it's usually there but sometimes not. Sometimes if the record is cheap (like a dollar or two) and I'm feeling lazy I'll just bid without checking whether I have it or not.

Far too many "saddler".......moreover, when I find out I've already got a copy, (albeit that habit is more refined to the cheaper end items.....up to now)

spent a couple of years looking for a copy of the summits i'll never say no (about 6 or 7 years ago) then gave up while looking though my records for one i had sold i found a copy well chuffed saved me a couple of hundred pounds, have no idea where i bought it.

saved you a couple hundred pounds maybe a month ago. now it's saved you like $40.

Records I didn't realise I had?

Judging by the way my spares boxes have accidentally doubled in size since the advent of eBay, about 25% of all 45s in my collection...

I had an Isley bros green & white Motown demo for years, then seen a why when the love is gone demo on e bay, went to bid on it and looked at the a side and realised I already had it,so I had a wwtlig gone demo already in my box

yes bob not bothered about that as i found it a couple of years ago so have been playing it out since then it does'nt owe me anything as it must have only cost me a few pound or even pence quite a few years ago.

I have posted this before , back in the wigan days i collected Okeh Mirwood and RicTic demo's

my collection went in the loft for 30 years with only the occasional dusting off .When the internet came along and you could then see the changes in musical taste i found many of the records i bought played ,didn't like and boxed are now very popular Tangeers , Seven Souls , Cheers , Walter Jackson (who i always loved ) and many others have all come to the fore !

i agree. it took me forever to find my first copy of this, I later got a double and traded it a few years ago. I have no idea where all these copies are coming from. Are they all from one person who found a big cache of them (e.g. that brooklynsoul dude) or are they coming from multiple places?
