[Winsford Soul 14,986]

Some very expensive Christmas presents there for some lucky people 

Steve  

[Tomangoes 2,985]

The top 500 is definitely a £1m investment now.

Somebody somewhere is going to come across a big box of these big hitters in a charity shop, when a secretive collectors passes, and the relatives just clear the house...

Ed

[Daved 879]

Not many of the top 500 in that list. There are in fact quite a lot of exciting records way outside of the top 500 in that list.

Dave

[Frankie Crocker 1,966]

Plenty of good Northern releases in this batch. Proves there’s still records out there to be snapped up.

[Bruv 2,090]

Confession time, I won the bid on the Yvonne Baker Parkway issue copy on this December listing, I only just got back home in time to put a last second bid on, I probably paid to much for it £870 but at least I was going to get it back in less than a Month with the Xmas Party do's..

[tiberius 446]

What's the story with Gemstones - Cold Soul?  From memory, the last couple through ebay were around the $400- $500 mark.

unlikely from sad experience of how families behave

anyway the prices continue to go up Ed, I get no sense that they will drop anytime soon, the long awaited NS price crash continues to be delayed

just gotta grab em while you can or be happy with the sounds on mp3/streaming

[Geeselad 1,502]

There tunes I paid, less than 40 for in the late 80"s. That were frequently for sale at nighters. Frankie Beverly, Larry aikins and valentinos. Rare?

For sure....

In fact if the most valuable 500 come up for sale....subjective most valuable...

The mind boggles at the total £ value.

That mint copy of the Checkerboard Squares was on Discogs for a while up for £1800, and the Yvonne Baker single I have was on the Site in November for a good three weeks with the price at £1,150

don't think that's the issue anymore, Jeanette keeps popping up and keeps selling for £1k, it's more about desirability, lots of internet/social media awareness  plus it's international now, not confined to the UK NS scene

[Lawman 57]

ALL THE CONDITIONS WHERE SHIT SOME OFF THEM SHOULD NOT EVEN BE FOR SALE TOTAL SHAM AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING SUCKED IN, 

 

As for that brand new faces at the moment it  should be put in the bucket who the hell is bidding on that it doesn't play

I would imagine most of the idiots paying the best part of a grand for Jeanette are UK fools who fancy themselves as Djs.

Not sure about getting sucked in Colin, most if not all have sound files and the fools know what they are buying.  Quality doesn't seem to matter to many as long as they have the record to play at their event.

Agreed internationality is a factor, but there has always been different scenes worldwide that have sought out different types of soul music. However it seems in recent years that everyone is chasing more or less the same 45's. Then of course you have records that appeal to different collectors e.g. one side soul the other funk, one side NS and one side sweet, and so on. So the 'pool' of 45's becomes smaller and harder to get. Having said that some of the prices are ridiculous, especially when you see the condition of some.
