March 7, 200520 yr Its a bugger isn't it Tis my husbands top want, but my top want is a whopping great diamond so he can whistle for his Tolbert
March 7, 200520 yr Know how hubby feels Alison - great record but OH MY GOD what a price. Won't be long before Northern/Modern Soul is out of the reach of most and in the hands of a lucky few :-(
March 7, 200520 yr Know how hubby feels Alison - great record but OH MY GOD what a price. Won't be long before Northern/Modern Soul is out of the reach of most and in the hands of a lucky few :-( link Can see the end auction price of this baby being equal to the cost of a decent 2 carat emerald cut diamond
March 7, 200520 yr Can see the end auction price of this baby being equal to the cost of a decent 2 carat emerald cut diamond link I could always photo copy Tolbert and you could wear that on your finger
March 7, 200520 yr How many were pressed? link Apparently originally there was in excess of 1000 pressed lord alone knows where they are now though. In the scheme of things that isn't really that many when you consider the minimum press runs for some of the majors Probably sat collecting dust in someones garage

When was it first played in the UK?
March 8, 200520 yr or maybe still sitting there? When was it first played in the UK? link I think Sam first played it in the mid 80's as part of the moddun thing going down then, and may well have reviewed it in Blackbeat or something. It then got forgotten about, and rediscoevered in 2001...
March 8, 200520 yr SAM ONLY GOT HIS COPY 2/3 YEARS AGO FROM BUTCH FOR £600 SO IF IT WAS MID 80,S IT OBVIOUSLY WASNT SAM.. I KNOW BECAUSE I TRIED TO BUY IT A WEEK TOO LATE. BBBAAASSSTTTAARRDDDSS THE GASHER..BUT THIS ONE WILL BE MINE..IT HAS TO BE MINE, ALL MINE, NOBODYS BUT MINE, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH MINE I TELL YOU ALL MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE... Edited March 8, 200520 yr by gash99
March 8, 200520 yr I heard it via a Manship tape (which i still have) in the mid 80's and it blew me away then! Class record.
March 8, 200520 yr With discs commanding these kind of prices, its about time there was a Nothern Soul museum opened to let us mortals look at such discs. I remember the price crash in the early 80s when prices hit rock bottom. Collections were almost given away. God forbid it turns full circle again, or there will be some frustrated collectors. Ed

In the scheme of things that isn't really that many when you consider the minimum press runs for some of the majors Probably sat collecting dust in someones garage link 1000 pressed!!! Makes it bloody risky to say the least bidding that sort of money if its KNOWN there MAY be a big haul just around the corner

Don't make me check those Blackbeats now - I'm sure I'll find it mentioned somewhere!

Don't make me check those Blackbeats now - I'm sure I'll find it mentioned somewhere! link Steve, from the look on Sam's face when he heard my bro play it about 5 years ago and ran up to the decks nearly tripping up on the steps in his rush to see what it was, I doubt that he had it. After finally getting his own copy from Butch he always generously credited Dave with turning him on to it whenever he played it. Jordi
