this is what can you get for three quid these days

[Guest woolie mark]

Loads of these on discogs for about £3....seems like a bargain to me

 

[Soul-slider]

Yeah but they are all in France, so about £10 all in. Still a bargain, especially if you get the pic sleeve too.

Maybe Godz, but I'm sure that we have much worse down here, French "variété" is pure crap !

[Guest db121]

Sounded OK for the first 2 seconds, please leave them in France.

[Amsterdam Russ]

Can't say I like that Virginia Vee track so much, but I do like this popcorn/R&B one of hers, which is also a French release...
 

 

[Jimmy Disco D]

Funnily enough I spent three quid yesterday on these......

£1

and

£2

Both a bit dirty but VG+

Happy days.

 

Edit: Just remembered, I also got The Blackbyrds - "The Baby" for a quid on Saturday.

[Thecivilservice]

Only £2 and from the UK - never an expensive record so don't know if it counts as a bargain 

 

[Thecivilservice]

You can buy as many of these as you want for a quid each - most from the us though - I dont know if this counts as a soul record but to my ears its much better and more soulful than the other garage rock tunes getting played (eg Strangeloves)

Not bad at all, just purchased one with a picture sleeve for £3!

[Codfromderby]

Or in this case a quid whirlwind, full time thing/ ecstacy passion and pain touch and go 12"
