ive noticed this over the last few years......selling and seeing e bay prices.....recently i saw a VG ++ copy of the Compliments (time of her life) on Congress go for 25 on e bay.......this used to be 75 all day long.......anyone else perceived this trend?

Yep, and it makes me weep.... That said if I can still pick up once expensive best ballads and mid tempo stuff cheap, them that's good right? I just can't sell them on....

George smith, jimmy helms - your mine you, milt Greyson - old standby, tears - good luck my love, ray and Dave, mellow fellows.... It don't get better than that does it......

Oh and before someone pipes up, robin rice was never as good as George smith, sorry I won't be turned on that.... Laughs....

Agreed I've bid on a few that i thought were out of vogue and lost - still lots of collectors who are after mid tempo stuff. I think it just doesn't dominates nights like it used to.

i have never heard the "cocked hat" phrase before....but i love it! what does it refer to?

Good midtempo records will hold their price.

But the dross? I agree very out of fashion.

Superb. 

Ady played Marvelows at the 100 club last week, I ran to the floor... followed by the Drapers...

 

Never owned a copy of Tommy Tate . I'm taking on pain, still need that..

Here's a good one I got on Aussie Festival a couple weeks ago, never been mad on the Righteous bros, but this is a killer...
