Note really into instrumentals, but just as an aside my favourite track from Pressure is this... Andy

Hi all Just the one I found whilst digging this morning. It appeared on the Eccentric Soul album from Numero released on 2009 or so. Its in VG condition overall, labels clean no rips, possible autograph from one of the Smart's, vinyl has a lot of surface hair lines and a couple of minor scuffs. It plays well above grade, with only the very very slightest noise which is covered by the music. Copies in similar or worse condition have sold recently on Ebay at 50-70 in this condition. Smart Brothers with Baby Neal - I've got a funny feeling - Lee Mac VG £25. (flip is a nice deep soul track) YT clip for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7VU5TvWHBc I use NM, Ex, VG with +/- to refine. Post 2.00 first, 3.50 recorded. Paypal as F&F please PM questions or to order Cheers Andy

You can buy those "reissues" on a dealer site for 20-30 quid along with a host of other looky-likey boots, so it puzzles me why someone should pay any more than that, assume buying boots is OK with the person purchasing. For me this bootlegging is the darker side of the scene, but while ever people are willing to buy, then there will be those who are willing to supply sadly.

On a real obscure label out of NOLA it is currently getting serious interest and a growing following with the price on Ebay for the last copy at £458 just a couple of months ago. I'm going to list it once only, so if there's no interest it will return to the box.

Hi All Here's one old store stock copy of this quality modern groover. Chatting with a well known DJ he mentioned this in dispatches as a potential spin for him, and I picked up a couple of copies and here is my spare. As always NO $16 post or 20% VAT !!

There is a whole 'nostalgia scene' which 'normal' soul fans don't tend to frequent, but I understand that many people enjoy. At my local theatre we have shows called 'Northern live - do I love you', 'Magic of Motown', 'American 4 Tops' and so on all lined up over the next few months. These are not for me and I wont be anywhere near, but I don't begrudge people who have a passing interest in soul and Motown who want to attend and have a good night out.

Yes, I've sold stuff back to the US, and not just lowrider type stuff either. Seems to be a lot of boogie / funk type collectors.

Probably a split, but I think JM mentioned when he was on Dean Anderson's radio show that he has something like 28,000 customers worldwide. That's what someone told me who listened to the show, so don't hold me to it. If he has that base then there is some big money out there, particularly with the likes of Japan etc.

£22 - £144 on Popsike, depending on condition. The £144 was the most recent sale in 2021. Hope that helps. Andy

Have you been on Facebook Modern Soul Vinyl forum ? Large amount of boogie type stuff posted up every week from UK, European/ French and further afield. Some sales activity occasionally. If you have anything for sale on 7", particularly if has a soulful stepper on the flip PM me.

Talking about the alley at the side. We went to an oldies anniversary in freezing weather, and were queuing to get in for what seemed like hours. A bouncer came to the back of the line and asked if we wanted to get in quick. We said yes of course and he led us up the alley. We were only 15/16 at the time walking down a dark alley and we figured we were going to have to fight it out. The side door opened and we could see in and the bouncer asked for our money and just let us in. Result !

Hi Here's a forgotten one that's getting a reactivation in recent times. It was an old Rob Marriott cover up from way back as the Ambassadors I think.

Popular misconception, but only partially right. According to my MP (when I complained that my records were costing me 20% more 🤬), is that the primary reason for VAT was that businesses were buying and selling on the major platforms and avoiding potential VAT payments. Apparently it was in planning before Brexit.

I think it just goes to show that we all make errors and our knowledge is not as complete as we like to think.

I think on JM's YT channel he states its a boot.

But you seem not to be.... "I see things quite differently with another main dealer who often buys beautiful and rare records from large US dealers and constantly upgrades them by at least one grade. That is not possible". I think I explained why is is possible to upgrade by one grade.
