Like i said had it a bit back, was a very hard record to find until now it would seem, very hard record to play, totally agree with the rarity over quality comment which as we all know is pretty common on this scene...i.e. if enough people hype something, 'kings new cloths' ethic kind of deal then it's a little bit like it must be good if x,y,z say so and play it, some follow, some make their own minds up and others tell it like it is. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

happy christmas everybody.....chill it's a pretty good record really...i should know i had the second or third copy.....brilliant if it comes down to a realistic price then more people can enjoy it or is it not about that....lol mark bicknell

Merry Christmas. Mark Bicknell.

Right that's it........i've just been to Ashton with my lad to do a bit of Christmas shopping, ended up costing me a fortune......'Dad can i have'...lol, i'm not going out again now until i go back to work on Boxing Day, it's madness like the shops are never gonna open again, i only had words with six or seven people so not that bad really....lol Happy Christmas - Mark Bicknell.

Popular threadthis is then...lol oh best i wish Sister Dawn a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as she's having a look at this thread now.....keep the messages coming. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I have had both but kept the Exceptionals thought it was basically the same record, perhaps a better cut?? Cheeres for that - Mark Bicknell.

A good £30.00 record though...lol oh got mine for a tenner as 'The Exceptionals' same record....brilliant. Mark Bicknell.

Not really bought much this year to be honest but the few things i have found which have given me a great deal of pleasure include one of my biggest wants - Billy Keen - I Finally Got Wise - Galaxy DJ, my third copy of The Star Treks - Gonna Need Magic - Veep DJ, another copy of The Monticello's - I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face - Red Cap...shame on me don't think i've bought sod all else...lol Happy collecting - Regards Mark Bicknell.

Cheers Mike, And thank you for all your efforts here on Soul Source, Merry Christmas. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I've been thinking the very same thing and this topic often comes up with close friends, we have all sold stuff over the years with major regret, often to replace some records now the prices have reached another level often way out of most peoples reach, perhaps best to keep what we have as SOUL fans and collectors and pick up records when and if the bubble bursts at a reasonable price, the question you have to ask yourself is this.....'Am i buying into something other than the passion and love of the music or am i simply a stamp collector'????? these things we call records are often works of art, loved for what they project rather than what they are worth and not trophy's, trophy's are for displaying and records are for playing.....lol and i don't really know what my point is sorry, basically if i can't own a record because i can't afford it am i not allowed to enjoy it as a piece of music rather than a rare antique? Regards - Mark Bicknell.
