January 24, 200520 yr Thats cheap Derek even for a vg++ link That's why I offered Derek £75 plus postage as soon as I saw his nice listing. Although I'm sure it's already sold! Edited January 24, 200520 yr by James Trouble
January 24, 200520 yr That's why I offered Derek £75 plus postage as soon as I saw his nice listing. Although I'm sure it's already sold! link IMHO in the real world £40 is what it's worth. Makes a change to see an honest price...or has Derek slipped up
January 24, 200520 yr IMHO in the real world £40 is what it's worth. Makes a change to see an honest price...or has Derek slipped up link "In the real world it's quite a tough piece to find" as for Derek slipping up, you could be right unless he's desperate for the money to fill his new abode with new and expensive furnishings. D
January 24, 200520 yr I also offered to buy it but no reply yet. I don't like it much myself though, so perhaps it is better if someone who likes it gets it.
January 24, 200520 yr I'm sure Derek'd be better off sticking it up on ebay and watching it go for silly money.
January 25, 200520 yr IMHO in the real world £40 is what it's worth. Makes a change to see an honest price...or has Derek slipped up link If you can get me copies at £40 each I'll take as many as you can get hold of. Seriously though, in the real world there are people lined up round the block to pay three figure sums for this record. And what great taste they have!
January 25, 200520 yr Anyone have the definite info on bootlegs/reissues of this 45? I have seen copies sell for a lot that looked very dubious to me.
January 25, 200520 yr Aren't all the WD's styrene? sure looks nicer but i think i'll stick with an issue Agree though £40 is well cheap at today's prices Go Derek !!!
January 25, 200520 yr Aren't all the WD's styrene? sure looks nicer but i think i'll stick with an issue Agree though £40 is well cheap at today's prices Go Derek !!! link mine's a luvely white vinyl demo johnny but i've heard people swear blind they've seen demos on shitty styrene
January 25, 200520 yr mine's a luvely white vinyl demo johnny but i've heard people swear blind they've seen demos on shitty styrene link Yeah i know someone who had one and got rid when they found out it was styrene, silly really when he didn't have a vinyal copy to replace it
January 25, 200520 yr Author Didnt realise it would generate that much interest, knew it was a great tune but thought it was worth about £50. Checked both price guides JMs £50 & TBs 'low'. So decided to float it at £40. Some lucky person would have got it for that but Mister Trouble made me an offer I couldnt refuse. Phew luckily I hadnt agreed to sell it to anyone for £40 as I would have followed through and done the deal. Alternatively I could have withdrawn it and stuck it on Ebay but £75's fair enough. derek Think my own copy and this sale one are both vinyl 45s will post scan later.

Seriously though, in the real world there are people lined up round the block to pay three figure sums for this record. And what great taste they have! link They maybe lined up round the block but in my opinion todays prices aren't the real world I've seen this myself for £150 which IMO is crazy £75 you offered would be nearer the mark. This used to be a common record and Derek's price is an honest one IMO

January 25, 200520 yr Pardon my ignorance, I never was and don't intend to become an Arctic completist collector, but are ANY Arctic 45's made from styrene originals? I remember reading somewhere that all Arctic 45's on styrene are reissues, made by Jamie Guyden in the 70's or something. Are there also styrene issues of Barbara Mason? And if so, are they reissues? I would like to know, for sure.
January 25, 200520 yr Why is this tune supposedly so popular? It's decent I guess but certainly not THAT good, and pretty useless as dance floor fodder too IMO.

It's a truly beautiful piece of music and the lyrics are just soooooo soulful and angst ridden.
January 26, 200520 yr Don't encourage them Kolla it's a soul record and a damn good one........they come over here.....
January 26, 200520 yr Kids love funk? To me it sounds like something that might appeal to 'normal' people in a trendy bar or something over here, something that they can shake or sway around to a bit whilst holding drinks, a record that might be useful when djing to non-soulies in other words. I hate normal people in trendy bars, swaying with drinks in their hands.

It is a big shame she is going to settle back in Italy. London soul nights will have a little bit missing without Cris and Pier there. Edited January 26, 200520 yr by in town Mikey
