You been on holiday mate? Old news this, its been selling consistently @ a ton for a while - its now an established hundred quidder........

I was put off buying it when it first came out by all the negative reports. Sat watching a bit of it last night for the first time with a nice bottle and quite enjoyed it. The well documented cheesy effects and rehashed recordings do spoil it but at least the artists involved have been recorded on film for the scene's history which is important i reckon. Interesting to listen to scene regulars memories as well. I wonder how many of the artists involved have since died?

Martyn, as all the answers show - there is no answer to your question……...

Martyn, if I went to a typical East Midlands oldies night I would only expect to hear 4 or 5 records from your list. When I first went to Wigan in 78, oldies were what you would hear in M's or on the monthly oldies nighter plus a few were played in the main room by Dave Evison etc. These were records that had had their hey-day at then Wheel, Torch and the first few years of Wigan. Logically then an oldie at any point in time should be any record that was big/played/known say 3 or 4 years ago. Then you have to consider the mass of returnees to the scene over the last 15 years, most of these had stopped going before i started, so the records I mentioned as oldies earlier were, in the main, the only records these people knew. These were the familiar "oldies" that they wanted to hear again and this what that whole scene was built on. So the term "oldie" in my experience came to have its current meaning. If you played that set at the Grosvenor or Kingsway nights, you'd have an empty dance floor and people chucking their "nighter bags" over their shoulder and walking out -trust me I've seen it

Great idea but only if the people doing/selling em are inside at the time…… no point in taking it out on the poor pressing plant just for the sake of it

Just repeating what others have said but yes it was, I bought the bootleg at that time.

'Orrible things……..

Quote from a typical oldies fan "I don't like that rare shite that you're into" - he then goes on to spend the night dancing to the Salvadors, Tomangoes etc

Byrney is spot on. I remember a few years ago going to a local oldies venue, there were about 20 people I knew who were stood within a small radius of me. Out of these, there were about 6 or 7 who had been into the scene on or off since the 70s, all the rest had never shown any interest in Northern Soul till fairly recently. There are lots of people at venues now who have no history on the scene and whilst I have no objection to anyone new, what is wrong is the way things have been adapted to suit them. The message to newbies should have been "this is the way things are, if you want to join in thats fine but don't expect us to change things to accommodate you"

Quality!!

Nice one, well done!

Even the pressing's gone mad…... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191662597695?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Dunno about singles club but most are now an over 50s social night…...

Or an eveninger……...

I asked him why he thought it was worth that kind of money: "No, I do not mind you asking the question; "What makes me think that anyone would pay £600 for a CD?"The answer to your question is, that CD'S, especially rare ones, sell for a lot more than £600, there is certain CD'S which have sold for £10,000. Some sell from £2000 upwards, and the more rare, the more they will pay for them.I hope I have answered your question, and should you want to know more about valuation, you could always do a google search on rare CD's, and valuations, and you will be surprised at how much certain cd's are. It is just like records, there is one record vinyl that sold recently for £1,000000 that is right, one million pounds, it was the Beatles of course, the white album, but it is not just Beatles albums that fetch big money. There are some that fetch thousands of pounds. It is knowing what to look for.Kind regards,Samiya" Deluded or what………. BTW I've got one of these if anyone wants to make me an offer...

I come from a land down under……...

Remember Brian well from my early days although haven't seen him dj much in recent years - great achievement!

I agree, I think the number of collectors will inevitably diminish as we leave this mortal coil in ever increasing numbers over the next 5,10, 20 years. Plus some will decide to sell up and cash in while they can and the number of new collectors won't match the ones leaving. As you say, at some point supply will definitely outstrip demand and prices will fall. However, there's no sign of this happening yet and to be honest I predicted years ago that the bubble would burst for the flood of Sky money into football and that hasn't happened (and doesn't look like doing so) so who knows?? Only two things are certain in life, one day you're born and on another day you die…….

Major own goal, they'll never sell it now……..

WTF? Jesus….. RIP Joe……..

Slip in, only 4 left and one of those is the pink one……..

Nice one chaps, been thinking about one for a bit - love a bargain…. Get in quick on the ebay link, only 7 left now and you don't want to be left with the pink one..
