can somebody tell me how to spot a Swinging Singing Counts, 'Along the Way, boot, is there one?????

And while you are at it how about the boot for Royal Five 'Say it To my Face'

Never been booted

.....neither has Royal Five

ok then whatsall the fuss about lil-peddler that some say we ought to be careful about, cause he seems to have quite a few of the Counts for sale.

There's a lot of speculation to whether or not he's pressing all the rarities he sells, but I've bought about 7 things from him and as far as I'm concerned they're 100% real. The rumours surrounding the Oxford Nights are certainly nottrue - a mate of mine bought one and it's absolutely pukka he got it for far less than it would cost from a UK dealer too: he payed $700 (approx £370), I payed almost double that

Is the label shiney or matt?

Counterfeits of all labels with similar colour scheme to the Counts (i.e. black & silver, red & silver) all have glossy labels, where 99% of the orig's have a matt label.

That's supposedly how you tell the orig's of the Oxford Nights from the boots, from what I've heard the boots aren't that glossy anyway, and the orig's aren't totally matt (mine isn't anyway, and it's definately real). Best way to tell is to look for 'Music City' stamped in the run-out. I'd think the Counts would have a stamp in the run-out too

Without getting into a heated debate about what's good Northern and what's bad, I can't understand why anyone would want to spend that kind of money on what are two poor Northern records IMO......

Oxford Nights certainly one of the better sounds of the past few years IMO I wasn't aware that the Royal Five had been booted, sorry. Demo's definately haven't

I dint think Royal Five was worth agreat deal so I assume the big money is for the oxford nights?

John, if you dont want to get into a debate about it, dont put a post up about it

IMO Oxford knights is a brilliant track and when i got mine i was well happy with the price i paid i.e. under the going rate and book value. Shame they found a load...

BTW Royal Five about £50ish

funny that J.May was heard to say just recently that he thought O Nights was a great track???????????

Thought Royal Five made about £200? ...but yes I was reffering to Oxford Nights. I still rate it at about £650, and a friend of mine has just payed £600 and considered that rather cheap

Tis a brill record though

I honestly don't remember saying that, but if I did, I had most likely been on the wine at the time.......

John - never give in that easy, unless your getting diamonds

he seems to have alot of the swinging singing counts as the price seems to be dropping gradually

dont know if its been booted but still a good track

With the number of copies about how can the Oxford Knights be worth £650 It's listed on e-bay weekly. If folk did their homework and refused to buy from the sellers the price would slowly come down to reasonable levels.

If Oxford Knights is worth 600.00, then I have copy of Danny Moore on Allrite I'll let go for 500.00! What a bargain...

waiting for takers.....
