Just looking around ebay and came a cross this lot

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-soul-record-collection-/200700851344?_trksid=p4012.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D8%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5702000213369653761

£12.50 per record i hope he hasn't bought them to sell !

when he views them they will be relisted in a week or so !

_{£7,500! I assume the winning bidder knew exactly what he was doing and wasn't buying blind.}

The winning bidder is a loser not a winner total nut case

Fake bidder like all the reggae auctions maybe???

Really lucky seller if not, time to put together a "collection" for sale!

Ha Ha Ha suckers I bought them real Gwen Owens, Eddie Parker which paid for the collection, keeping the Joe 90 and a couple of other bits, perhaps this will teach people not to judge a book by it's cover....now where the f*ck are my pills lol

I had a look at the bids and all 20 of them are exact amounts.....no pennies anywhere, a bit odd I'd say.

At least now its over you can all stop worrying and get your life back to some kind of normality

im sure someone will check sellers feedback in a week or so & see if got feedback on it,lol.

O/T i know but this reminded me of this

Back in the wigan casino days some of you will recall that Russ Winstanley had his huge box of records stolen

at the time it was rumoured that russ sold all his originals before they were booted/ reissued and that his box was full of pressings and boots

it was anounced on stage that if they were not returned Russ might have to give up DJing

needless to say a tip off led to his records being found under his car

i remember someone in the record bar at the time saying

"They probably tipped the buggers out and nicked the box"

If I remember, the following week there were flyers on every table at the casino with a list of the stolen records, dont suppose anyone still has that list?

isnt this some bigtime northern 45 ?? signed pressing of Frank Wilson`s "Do I Love you"

or was it a boot press?? I guess the buyer will find out

yeah,

but not if it's a "pressing" aka reissue.... otherwise i think there's like 3 of them in the world? and it would be a big deal

thank you..I never knew "pressing" was another term for reissue

no he got them all back !

They made an announcment that unless they were returned he would have to give up DJing !

Then they got a tip off that they had been left under his car outside !

yeah, people come up with euphemisms that sound nicer because they can't deal with the reality of their records... in this case reissue is also a nicer word for bootleg

Since year dot they have been called pressings Bob. Whether bootleg or legal, they were all called pressings.

were they called "second pressings" or just "pressings"?

either way, I was just being a smartass.

Swifty

Pressings Bob, because it was deemed a nicer term than bootlegs.

I think 'bootleg' was traditionally a term used by Rock fans to describe previously unreleased material - be it live or studio recorded stuff, for example Bob Dylan's 'Great White Wonder'. '(Re) Pressing' is a better description of what is a facsimile of an 'official' release. Never ever heard the term 'bootleg' used to describe these re-pressings.

I agree, bootleg used to mean an authorized release of a live band recording and "pirated copy" was used to describe counterfeited copies of music. However, now people use "bootleg" to mean an unlicensed / unauthorized pressing of a recording. In of itself, I think "repressing" isn't a specific enough word to describe a product as it doesn't indicate whether it is a legitimate repressing or a reissue, or a counterfeit pressing of the record. Thanks.

The guy sent me this message when he questioned what my name was on ebay

They were indeed played out at events I`ve Dj`d at and like I said in my listing many a packed dance floor, And to me a packed dancefloor speaks volumes and if it doesnt matter to the people on the dancefloor if the record cost £10 or £10,000 why should it matter to me ? It`s the music that matters to them! So in my opinion the Playing "only original vinyl" at gigs is just something very very very sad anoraks complain about.

The scene was built on the love & passion of the music, Not on weather a record was original or a pressing ! The only people who say the scene was built on rare records are the Anoraks of this world. very very sad people I`m afraid.

Also this collection was sold as a whole and nothing was taken out.

What I did keep was a collection that was given to me many years ago by a friend who has now passed away & they were never part of the collection that were on here and nothing has been added to it. These are not something I have ever played at events despite them being Originals this collection is something I would never part with.

If this is true, why is he selling them for a monetary value?

Hiya Bob,iit was mentioned earlier in the thread that he was keeping 150 records,going by the reply ernie got from the seller,these records he is keeping are the ones he recieved from his friend who has since passed on.therefore they were never up for sale.
