Kev, sadly I can't afford records and overseas travel. I'll be playing with John Phillips at the Gold Coast weekender in January, boy does he have some records!

Looks like my kind of soul do!

Kev, there must have been a cut and paste typo as my last 4 tracks aren't listed... which were Bernard Drake - I've been untrue Soul Aces - You're diffrent Herman Hitson - You can't keep a good man down Kitty Doswell - Just a face in the crowd

How many copies are out there?

This has been my prefered side for a while now.

Just picked up these, I was amazed to pick up the Black Exotics from a deep soul collector who lives about 10 min from my house here in Melbourne. Brownettes - Never find a love like mine - King Black Exotics - What are you waiting for - United Frankie Davis & Marion James - Our little love song - Ma-Fra-Da

Nev, it was up for auction but seriously battered and sounded shite, I was still surprised it only got one bid.

I often douple up on average records with great looking labels. You know, wow that's a nice looking label, pick it up for a tenner, get it, listen to it and say "yeah that's ok" shelve it then do the same thing a year later.

Great stuff Nev, so did you find a box of the 45 then or just the one...

One hell of a crappy fade out on this one.

Postage in the US has gone up, registered post especially. I was charged $44 for a 45 recently, I told the seller I'd pay it but thought it was excessive. He ended up refunding me $5 and when the package came the price indeed was $38.90. If I'm paying over $200 for a record I'd rather pay the extra than have it lost in the post. It's the ones that charge P&P that get up my nose...That extra P is a license to go to town.

I love the flute in this.... horses for courses

Nev, I think it comes down to the fact that most people who buy spend more than they should and when an opportunity to make some cash on a record comes up some will jump on it rightly or wrongly.

It was a shit stir comment, of cause it was a NS collector who bought it. Personally I think it's a brillant deepie. A well known collector of another genre of music routinely use to put $5000 snipes on 45's he was after... he had the cash and wanted the record bad enough.

All though this thread started with JM's auction in mind which I think is used mostly by English collectors (correct me if I'm wrong) and is an auction site that has always attracted over the top prices, soul records are well and truly a global commodity. What was once highly prized in the Northern scene doesn't hold up alone now and ensure high prices as there are 1000's of people like me that have been collecting for years out side of the English scene and have no nostalgia attached to many of these records. With so many soul collectors buying from the R&B, deep, beach music, lowrider and popcorn scenes often vying for the same 45's ( albiet different sides). Add to that, northern soul collectors branch out into every good sub genre - funk, sweet, latin etc looking for new sounds which already have strong following within other scenes. Also with popsike and collectors frenzy giving pricing information and a chance to see how many are on the open market people can throw their cash into genuinely rare items (and you only need 3 people too dumb to snipe and it's an all out shit fight), lets face it these 45's are virtually antiques the prices can only go up. Who's to say the Tomangoes that went on ebay last week wasn't bought by a deep soul or lowrider collector for the other side

This thread seems to be more about the regret of letting things go too cheap, rather than the loss of the record it self.

There is a Vonciel Myer in the sales section at the minute.

I've bought rubbish country records that looked like they would be great soul records.....

Eunice isn't going anywhere either, there is more chance getting my up-tempo records out of the collection than the beautiful slowies.

You know about 7 years ago one turned up for sale on fryers site for $175, I was stone broke and already had my copy so I pm'd someone I thought would like it but they didn't know it and didn't want to spend that much on a blind buy. They'd be regretting it now.

It sure doesn't sound like the one singer, though it's hard taking into account the different keys and era's that change the style they are sung in and of cause the age of the voice. Are any of them besidesthe 1st, on Odex?
