List them and see , the more people spend on bootlegs the less they will have to outbid me on something i want. The guides are there , the forums are there and it only takes a moment to google. There were no guides or forums when i started collecting , if someone wants to spend the money on a bootleg rather than a guide then let them

It's funny how a lot of the dance music djs get paid loads but the records cost an awful lot less than the rare soul scene where the djs get very little in comparison

Makes you wonder what someone like Ron Hardy or Larry Levan would be worth these days ?

2 for sale on john manships £30 and demo with pic cover for £40

one listed today in sales by mcboingboing £100

Many cheapies on golden world , ric tic , duke carnival etc It depends on what you want to collect and what you use them for. No point in buying top oldies for 100's to start off with that are currently available on reissues just to listen at home to , Many expensive oldies are available on cd etc. Check out all the youtube , podcast etc that you can. Buy what you like not what people tell you they like and is good , spend what you can afford, dont go silly like a kid in a sweet shop , remember that there will always be another record you will want if you miss one you are after and no point buying on credit card etc as you will have to pay it back in the end. Buy from people you can trust , pete smith , des parker , john powney are three off the top of my head i use when i can. check out here popsike and ebay completed items to get idea of pricing and ask on here Remember no one knows everything and beware that some people will see that you are new to the scene and may see that as a way of trying to sell you records that are overpriced or crap/ hyped , there are very few but be aware , the number of great soulies far outnumber the bad ones If you are going to spend a lot try and decide on your favourite type of music ie crossover 70s r&b funk 60's detroit etc and start a thread asking for recommendations up to your limit , you can then check these out on youtube etc Buy price and bootleg guides to give you a rough idea of all the things out there , Would you rather have one £50 record , 2 £25 records , 10 £5 records etc , just because a record is cheap doesnt mean its crap , just because a record is expensive doesnt mean its good

remember reading something about that , were they not sent recorded so he had to sign for them so he got woken up early or something

my trax set came today

There are several instrumental / karaoke versions on youtube if you want to hear the instrumental

My Sister has ordered me a box set over the weekend looking forward to hearing it once it arrives

. Would that make the new tune issue with a B side containing a previously released tune an original release? and what would be the ettiquette spinning the B side in this case? you can spin the b side but flip it over and the soul police will have a warrant waiting for you when you finish your spot. It happened a few years ago with the porgy and the monarchs release , the flip side was covered up as the peppermint men

both sides are on youtube ,

probably because people dont care unless its a dj thing how many radio stations play all of vinyl ? people still listen If it is free people dont mind , if they pay then they moan if someone is djing from pressings they moan especially if they want to dj themselves

The pictures on the items and the fact they have some soul wax items in their completed sales and they are from leicester reminds me of another account that is mentioned on this thread

If he is a mate get him to cancel the transaction then send him the payment via paypal , split the extra charges so you both are $30 better off

Ah many thanks for clearing that up , now makes sence as his name comes up in a couple of vietnam funk things i used to have on a tape ( remember tapes lol )

Probably a daft question but why do a lot of funk tunes reference a "Jody " in the vocals , is this refering to someone or a slang name for someone ? , seems to have heard quiet a few with it in for it to be a coincidance

Its now a car park and I think Paul Donnelly has photos of the demolition etc

Anything more that the cost of one side of a carver is too much for a pressing

IF you want to see it again its on at the luxe cinema in wisbech this weekend , not so far drive

If people start dancing to my records then i sell them ;)

The trouble is that i am used to record collector grading / values where vg is valued at 50 % of mint , ex 75 % of mint , if a seller uses vg as his 2nd grade it doesnt always register as i dont go through every sellers listing to see the grade ruling they use. If i see a £50 book priced 45 for sale in vg i automatically think that the guide price for this is £25 , therefore i am not paying top guide price for a 45 in lower condition even if it using a different system
