Tiggerwoods Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 2 of those three I can suffer but I’m with you on Paul Anka, a shocker of a tune. And people still chasing it? After all these years and thousands of better records 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Over £5k for William Powell.. Its getting ....probable....that a dj carrying a 400 top tune box is now carrying a £1m box. I hope the appearance money makes it worth the risk. OVO? That's becoming a rich man's retreat. Ed 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Martin Phillips Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Akira Freeze, I Remember over $2000??>> I don't know about I Remember its more like something I'd want to forget like treading in dog dirt!!!! Absolute shocker Henry & His Kasuals.....Funny,Funny,Funny....The price certainly wasn't,over $1000. Good little record but surely 150-200 pounds tops????

Paul Anka ? Rubbish ! ( why is this even played at Soul events ?) Petula Clark will be commanding 3 figures soon. . . . . . . . . . 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

All of the three that you have called rubbish are played regularly at soul nights and nighters,the Soulies and DJ's that dance to them are very knowledgeable and experienced people who know their stuff. If you are going to call them rubbish on a public forum,don't be surprised at the onslaught and backlash that you will receive. We all can't be wrong can we?, or am I missing something thing !!!!! When they are played out the floor is always full,that is why they are put on the decks,dancers records!!!!!. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If this is a Soul Music appreciation forum can I just point out that William Powell is a highly coveted rarity held in high regard by some of the top collectors on the planet, Paul Anka has delivered a handful of Northern classics popular with punters for 45 years and Bobby Paris is one of the few artists who has three records that would grace any book listing a Top 500. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie. I wasnt calling the records . Bobby Paris is one of my all time favourites ( actually met him ) . William Powell is awesome and Paul Anka is a casino classic . What i commented on was the ridiculous prices paid by people with obviously more money than sense. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Paul Anka WWGT is rubbish and that's all there is to it, apart from its now expensive rubbish. Mediocre pop crap that should have stayed at Wigan Casino. Then again its not that long ago I heard a so called top dj play Frankie Vallis oh what a night...so it may well be there is a scene for such stuff, its just not my scene.

It is Northern Soul not just Soul,to prove the point you could question whether Judy Street - What (which i love) is Soul,it comes under the umbrella of Northern Soul and it is a Northern Classic Oldie,there are many questionable 'SOUL' records, some like them, some don't,but most folks accept that they are part of our Northern Soul Scene without being forceful in their opinions.

Ed It is not rubbish at all,it is your opinion,many knowledgeable people will argue against your statement and not all there is to it at all. The Northern Soul music has many tunes that could be labelled 'Pop', but they are part of our music and fantastic,our scene has great tunes from a broad range of Northern Soul Artists,what does your scene offer?. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It is a good track Benji, be honest I got bored of it eventually and sold mine, don't think I'd get bored of the Sequins as quick, think the Sequins is a rarer 45, so the prices by my reckoning are the wrong way round...not that there is allot in it. I don't know about the low rider scene, but I am following a few folks on mix cloud now that publish mixes, there are some really great slowies from those folks... hope your well mate mal Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ernie Andrews Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Dr Z was cheap- Wish I hadn't sold mine for £30 but it was 40 years ago! Paul Anka price! Hahahhahhahha so based on grade when we get there is now a grand in mint cond! Just shows you that this scene is absolutely fucked! With dealers aiding and abetting it! Lou Edwards from £50-£75 now approx £400 plus in the space of just a few weeks! This is not market forces but an alternative slant on insider dealing. Thank fuck Im out of it!

Popular Post Merve Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 7 hours ago, Johnny Northern said: OVO FMO For Millionaires Only. Can see the sentiment but don't agree.There are still quality rare semi known originals out there to be grabbed for £5 to £50......Just not William Powell, Mel Brit, etc etc etc. If you spend a couple of hours trawling through discogs listening to vinyl you haven't heard of before or ones you remember from the old days that never took off you can still get quality records cheap - Just not the well known trophy records. Who knows, your £5 bargain may be a 2k sound in 6 months, (doubtful I know, but we still buy lottery tickets). 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dylan Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I dont know exactly when prices went this crazy but it was still possible to buy lots of good hard to find records at sensible prices in 2000 and probably for most of the decade after. Maybe 2010 and after things got silly ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Maybe 2010 and after things got silly ? Yes I agree mate it was around then when someone pushed the silly button. The main problem with things at the moment is that there is far to much emphasis on known records that are price driven by demand rather than rarity. Demand & rarity has always been a fine balance & the scales have tipped the wrong way. The prime example is this weeks auction results where on ebay Alfie Davison fetches nearly £700 but The Rotations on Manships fetches under £400...I would guess there are 1000 Alfie's for every Rotations (?). Also, we have a lockdown situation where sounds arent getting dropped & replaced on a regular basis so rarer less known sounds are not getting pushed...........Just my opinion of course, but I'm wrong on a regular basis according to my wife.
