RIP Sam just remember a few tracks on Bells cellar of soul albums from the 60's

You see regularly people bidding on records that can be bought buy it now or on discogs etc. for allot less than their bids, so i don't think its only a lack of knowledge just impetuous bidding .Nowadays i usually check other sites before bidding but not always.

not just one line " Can you imagine a place where all that matters is the music D.J. plays and the party people lose it Singing ,Spinning and dancing around I like the soulful sound of the underground No pressure No fear Nobody's in your business Nobody really cares Everyone is special and your the same Welcome to the Sanctuary " D.J. Oji & Una Friday night in the Sanctuary

Classic case of this is Deadric Malone on labels such as Duke ,was actually Don Robey who ( allegedly ) used other peoples songs and put pseudonym on so he would get the rights.A reason why many artists were pissed off with the system at the time because all monies went to owner. I suppose he got them on 45 and many would have been glad just to be recorded but he certainly knew what made the money over the years.

If you'd have asked me back in the day i probably would have said a uk copy of Chubby Checker Dicotheque as this was one record everybody wanted to own and play,but that is showing my age and well before any imports started coming over in any numbers. Closest i got was cu ma la be stay/everything's wrong on Uk cameo parkway found in 2nd hand shop in Hull along with stateside copy of Jimmy Radcliffe everything's wrong still brings a smile to my face when i hear it great sound
