Stick it on Ovenchips auction - "broken while spinning to last ever record at the Dome - a piece of northern soul history...Min Bid £2k..."

Soz chief, just read that - think Mikey's already answered you - great record. Think my fave is "(This Love Is Real) I Can Feel Those Vibrations" - dumps on Because Of You from a great height in terms of oozing soul IMO. Having said that, he didn't do many bad tracks did he. R

Quality Mick!!! Barrymore Top 3: 1. Joe Simon - Drowning In The Sea of love 2. Bobby Freeman - C'mon and Swim 3. Tami Lynn - I'm Gonna Run Away From You Taxi for Buckley!!

Hi Mark, the bloke with the Oxford Nights is diff to the other seller with Soul Communicaters etc... Rich

Well here's Joe's reply... Richard I have listed in the last 3 days 14 records are 100% original all only 1 single copy. These records came from a guy in california i bought his entire soul collection. Most of these titles are the best Northern soul 45's that were in the collection. I have not had problem selling an rare records on ebay infact I get fantastic prices for the Northern soul. Richard you can rest assure that these Northern soul 45's that I am listing are 100% original.. These rumors all started when I bought out the "Fab Vegas" label and the "Prix" label and yes I did have many copies at one time. People in the UK are very envious that I got to these record label owners first mostly the dealers thay are the one's who start these rumors, and also the ones who want to buy the copies at wholesale prices.. Like i said again all these 14 records that will be listed are single copies... Hope this helps ease your mind a bit.. Best Joe & Mamie So there you have it, from the horses mouth. I know that Dan's already said his Ascots looks identical and other people have said the same about some of the other 45s. I also asked him about The Cashmeres and he said it came out of the same collection and he ended up doing trades on it. Rich

Nope, there's only one Brooklyn Born/Grouprecords and he hasn't got a wolves accent, so you're off the hook!!! And besides, it may very well turn out that the records are legit. Still waiting for a reply from my email to him... - although to be fair, given the time difference he'll probably only be munching his cornflakes right now...

Looks like your visa's taken a pounding!!!

Ah ha! So it's YOU!!!!! You fiend you...

Current 5 off the top of my head from Soulsville, 1st Friday of the month, Baby Jupiter, York Place, Leeds City Centre, DJs: me and Jamie plus special guests every month... 1.

Well it was Brooklyn Born that had the mint Cashmeres and I think that auction ended at something like $2,500??? The guy with the Oxford Nights I feel more at ease about (Lil Peddler) because he does actually have a lot of other cheap and mid priced stuff and not all in stone mint condition. Well, as I've said, I've asked this seller the question and I'll report back when I get a reply. If it's printable!!! R

I will do my man, especially as I'd love some of them titles!!!!

In fact, he's got Ascots, Ringleaders, Topics, Rotations, Triumphs etc etc and all stone mint.... https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQ...osortpropertyZ1 Can all of these titles really ALL be stone mint - surely some of these would have scuffs or be at least VG+. When every title is stone mint and most of the titles don't come up for sale often you've got to ask questions. In fact, I'm gonna ask him myself - watch this space...

He's also got a copy of the Silhouettes up:https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=306&item=4052604238&rd=1 And guess what - brand spanking mint as well!!! Brooklyn Born had the Cashmeres the other week (mint), has had loads of Frederick Hymes (mint) and lots of the Royal Esquires (mint). As I said on another forum, either these guys are great at sourcing small (??) quantities of hard to find records in mint condition, or something's going on here. Sometimes quantities do turn up as with Betty Lloyd a few years ago and I honestly can't tell what the real situation is until we can physically compare stuff from these sellers with 45s in our collections that we've had for some time and know are legit - HELP!!! Rich

For me has to be the Four Tops - Tea House In Chinatown and the Miracles - My Baby Changes Like The Weather - class!!! Rich

The "dolphin" has clearly gone green cos it's dead - it's not barbed wire - it's them pesky fishermen's tuna nets that have snared the said dolphin, turned it green and bloated it to the size of its larger mammal cousin. This was clearly an environmentally friendly pressure group's (forerunner to Greenpeace) first release to raise money for this worthwhile clause.... I'll take my happy pills now....

For me it has to be Darrow Fletcher - "My Young Misery" - he even gets the young bit into his song title - brill record!!! Carl Carlton - "So What" also springs to mind... Rich

Cheers Mikey, guess we'll find out.... R

Check out this album cover and the description on Ebay - but which one's Bill???????? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=ADME:B:SS:UK:1 Answers on the back of a fiver....... Rich

Yeah I spoke with the guy - claims he got them from a box in the band members wardrobe. When I told him I might be interested he asked how many I wanted!! Who knows if they're kosher or not - we need someone on here with a definite original to identify distinguishing marks/numbers etc.... Rich

I remember these coming out from Tim Brown and they were on his "front page focus" and if memory serves me right they were a limited press and £10 each then - I'm sure there were different artisits on the flip of several of them... Rich

Love Bari Trak, Exus Trek etc, but I'm with Mulf - Frank Foster - Harlem Rumble on Triode - not heard it played or seen it for sale in a while - reminds me of when I got into northern in mid 80s - pounding class tune!

My understanding is as Pete says - was never originally issued, although the pink copies are a later legit re-press. So to be safe, get a demo with STERLING stamped in the deadwax! R

Not really northern, but HAS to be Al Green - Lets Stay Together - mate had it at his wedding as the first song - perfectement!! Rich

All time fave has to be Bobby Kline - Say Something Nice To Me - oooooozes class and soul! Rich

I'm off to New Orleans on holiday in 10 days time and I'm going to escape for 2 days to go hunting for little bits of plastic. Has anyone please got any addresses/contacts for me to try out there vinyl wise?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And yes I was relieved hurricane Ivan changed direction last minute and missed the city - didn't fancy visiting a swamp!! If you have, PM me or email me: richard.buckley@granadamedia.com Thanks Rich
