Apologies if this is not exactly following the same thread here...

But talking of "more affordable" sounds.. I recall a similar suggestion being tabled during one of those unexplainable discussions at some nighter or other....... it went along the lines of.....

"Would'nt it be great if a venue ran some kind of competition/challenge one night - where they insisted that ALL the DJ's put an hour set together, consisiting of the best quality sounds they could muster, but with a total (JM Book) value of no more than £500?"

Sounded like an interesting challenge to me... and would certainly bring out a lot of these faves being bandied about here..........

Gene Chandler (gonna be) Good times c/w No one can love you more (GBP 15,00)

I really should get brownie points as it's a brilliant double sider.

I'm surprised you say that Rachel, can't say I've heard it that much really, probably heard The Primers more often

Brown Owl will be giving you a special patch to wear if you can come up with the other 4..great tune gene chandler..humming away to good times,good times..

I'll try my best. All prices as per JM unless stated

Otis Clay - That's how it is (flip of Show place) GBP 15,00

Vickie Anderson - No more heartaches no more pain GBP 15,00

Five Stairsteps - Stay close to me GBP 15,00

???? - Come Back Jack (answer record to Hit the road Jack) approx USD 4,00 on ebay. Just can't think of who it's by. Maybe Nina Simone. I only know of about 3 people who know/rate this tune. Hence it's cheap as chips.

Wouldn't say it was overplayed but not underplayed either - about right really IMO... definitely heard it quite a bit early last year though... well, where I've been anyway (err well obviously I couldn't have heard it somewhere I haven't been ).

Agree, great tune.. but more often? Not heard it quite as much the last few months but did plenty the last year or so (including the unissued version)

Forget who played it at the 100 club (Butch maybe?..claimed it was an unreleased acetate...) I used to play it but (amazingly) I`ve not heard it played by anyone else in a long long time..

I'll add one Nick

Jean Wells - with my love and what you got

I don't see how you could better that even for £500 its just awesome

awesome record, play it often in my sets, doesn't get any better IMO. Issued twice as well, both different takes. Plus the studio acetate of Butch's, different take again.

Nick Allen - Hard Way To Go - Walas

Forget who played it at the 100 club (Butch maybe?..claimed it was an unreleased acetate...) I used to play it but (amazingly) I`ve not heard it played by anyone else in a long long time..

I played it at Percebridge...you was there that night Butch's version is an unreleased acetate...it has male backing...something the two issues don't have for some reason. The issues actually sound unfinished to me when played alongside Butch's version

Spyder turner - I cant make it any more

April Stephens - Wanting You

Willie & The Mighty Magnificents - Souling (Only instrumental I own)

BJ Thomas - I don't have a mind of my own

Barbara lynn - This is the thanks I get

I think its fantastic and don't think I have heard it played very much at all considering, heard many more inferior records played lots more than this and I will keep it in my playlist I think for a long time

Depends how much you love the record! That`s IMO how the prices go up! Somebody somewhere pays over the odds, fearing they won`t ever see a copy ever again. Then before you know it everyone`s paying that price!

no matter how much you love Miss Heartbreaker, you only have to do a little home work to find it's value and even less to probably find a copy.
