It used to be a 15 pounder, and not too many years ago, saw one recently on ebay go for £100, suppose £150 is realistic......maybe.

Papa Bear And The Cubs
Think this is one of those tracks that when you first hear it you think what a great track it is, however after hearing a few times it don't sound so good. I've got it on C.D that I play in the car, I skip past it now when it comes on, thought it was brill when I first heard it.........

All Dayers
Can't say i'm too fussed either way, dayers are great if people make the effort to get there early otherwise as said before they turn into a soul night. Dayers are good for popping out and getting fish and chips, especially at the seaside dayers.......

Rare Soul Records
I honestly don't consider what the value of a record is when I play it, I just play the stuff that I enjoy playing, and enjoy seeing people enjoying what I play.......If a record sounds good and get's spins, people will automatically try to get the record, this creates demand, demand forces the price of a record up, it doesn't mean that it is rare !, I think there is often confusion between what is rare and what is in demand.... I think that in answer to the original question, there is no answer......

Eldees / Don't Be Afraid To Love (dynamics)
Is this getting a few spins or did you hear it on a tape..?, I've had one for a while now, never heard it played out anywhere though.....

Downturn In Event Attendances?
I tend to think that Northern soul is a good barometer on the economy, during affluent times the secene does well, during time of recession it get's hit hard. In the early 80's the scene really struggled, also in the early 90's attendances were low, over the last 10years the scene has a whole has been well supported, however, there is has been a slow down in the economy over the last year, and it is predicted that next year we could be in a mini recession for the first time in over a decade, so I think the down turn in attendences recently is a sign of things to come........Maybe smaller venues in the short term is the way forward until things improve.

-
Delegates Of Soul - Uplook
I think it's all to do with strong winds over Norway Jamie, it's also playing havoc with the Mango crops....
-
Delegates Of Soul - Uplook
I must agree Jamie, The Delegates of soul is a record that would fit ever so nicely into your set, it is a track that play box is calling out for, the final piece in the jig saw almost..........If I ever decide to sell mine you will get the first refusal........
