well steve jeffries had a copy on his latest e mail list for a grand and bootleg acetates of it for £ 35 hmmmmmm

he seems to have alot of the swinging singing counts as the price seems to be dropping gradually dont know if its been booted but still a good track

a snipe bid is one that is bid automatically via a program in the last dying seconds of an auction ie 5- 10 seconds before auction finishes to avoid the bidder getting outbid or having the price pushed up it usually costs the bidder about 1 % of total amount commission to use this program you can have no bids and then get 4 or five in the last minute so you think you are getting a crap price for your item during the week but in the last few seconds the price can rocket

i've just started reading young gifted and black the history of trojan records by michael de koningh and in there the following information was published edited abit to save space in 1960 buster left coxsons employment to set up his own sound system blah blah blah the object was to play records which would get the crowd moving , the more exclusive the sound the more likely it was to gain the support of the crowd , coxton dodd was playing coxsons hop and coxsons shuffle. these were actually us r&b discs whos labels had been blanked by willis jackson (later for gator ) and harold land ( san diego bounce) these downbeat exclusives kept rivals at bay , with no indication of the real title even if you could get cllose enough to see it the others would have to find more exclusive sounds to fight back so it seems people were covering up old us records on the other side of the world where they probably havent heard the term northern soul

i traded the pic and bill for 225 with nick brown after listing it on ebay , had 15 watchers but only 1 bid pic and bill were members of the firery spartans if the info on another site is correct but then released the 45 in thier own name

no its the demo same both sides , got it in a bulk lot from the states along with the robert taylor , i sold off some of the rest for more than i played for the lot. they worked out at £1.50 each so not a bad buy , or maybe i should complain and ask them for an issue lol

mate bought a herbert hunter for 70 2 weeks ago i bought his boot for 4 quid and sold on ebay for 35 ish

james carr - thats what i want to know ,freedom train ,coming back to me baby just off the top of my head

id sell them sold a herbut humter for 36 this week , started it at 6 as thats what i got it for in a trade and didnt really want it , just got it to build up value thing is bloke who sold it me bought the original for £70 same night if i asked some of the prices i got on ebay at a soul night id get laughted at or maybe hit lol start them around guide price for boots ie 4 / 6 quid and leave it to them some rarer boots start at a tenner it amases me that people will pay loads for records but not a tenner for a boot guide , its wrong letting these people pay this much , i have even thrown in another record if i think someone has paid well over the odds

just listed some funk 45 s on ebay looking to move them quick cheaper than book price by quiet alot https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfromZR7QQfrp...QQsofindtypeZ15 or check out seller whaplodedave willis wooten , lavell hardy etc

no that was just the 7s how much a leo sunship 12 on red ive got one lrking around somewhere about a tenner i guess?

a complete set of mixed demos and issues went for arounr 180 / 200 ish on ebay last year some are worth a bit more than others sam williams larry clinton and flame and king betty boo and lester tipton but the rest are usually around a fiver and a pint give or take the pint

saw nabay go for 20 last friday been booted last year so is cheaper now but all to expensive at the moment , you can pick up most of them for under a tenner if they want it on a different issue to the orig why not get it done at vinyl carvers for 17 quid

i only buy blind from 1 dealer and if i dont like any he said he will do something about it i buy blind sometimes from ebay but only pay usually 1/3 of retail so for every record i hate i get some i like and then i can sell stuff on ebay at 1/2 book price and get my cash back

isnt there a track on ebay by dolly parton that keeps gettrng mentioned as a northern soul track , whats that all about listed around 50 75 quid !!!!!!

why were emi discs accepted on the scene , can anyone tell me the difference between these and the new lot of acetates being cut by vinylcarvers , choose your own tracks straight on to vinyl as im relativley new to the scene only been going out in the past few years i wasnt around when these first came to light but now it seems people are admitting to have had them done dave

i will tell him , seen afew on ebay but just thought there may be a soulie who is into scootering and know where i can get one for him thanks dave

i know this is not a record but anyone got a copy of scootering magazine issue one that my uncle needs to complete his collection its a long shot but there must be someone with it hiding in their cupboard or loft email davidwapples@yahoo.co.uk thanks
