Try Darren Brown - BROWNIE on here. Just come from his place and he had a decent copy in his 'non-website' boxes.

Should have bought it when it was £25 then if that's all you wanted to pay for it. That's what happens mate............record goes big, price goes up.........always been that way, not difficult to work out.

Could you be a bit more specific please Steve???........

Thanks Chris. Yeah, always knew it was big in Belgium well before its day at Stafford (covered up as George Kirby I recall?). Bootleg then?

Is this genuine? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAM-FLETCHER-TOP-RARE-NORTHERN-SOUL-POPCORN-ON-TOLLIE-ORIGINAL?item=110893366443&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26itu%3DI%252BUA%26otn%3D12%26pmod%3D270994077512%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D9057039940087053754 Doesn't look right........ Perhaps the clue is in the wording "original Belgium 7" single?

Spot on. I'm really confused about exactly what people are complaining about here? :g:I can understand why Pete Smith gets frustrated that he lists 45s at prices lower than the same 45s go for on JM's auctions - that does seem somewhat perverse and cause to complain. But what is everyone else moaning for? "How dare Butch/Dyson (insert DJ name) go and make the records that I own far more valuable!"? If the complaint is that you can't buy it now because it's gone up, well, tough....isn't that the nature of the game? Should've gone to Specsavers and bought it when it was 'cheap'!

It's Sunday, I've managed to move on a good few bits this weekend, got a couple of wants to fund and I'm feeling full of love for my fellow man. So the following are reduced and I will reduce even further if you want multiples or a deal for the lot.

Good points John Browne. Every record started life cheap - didn't Joanne Courcy come out of a soul pack, supposedly? For me the really peculiar ones are the things like Solomon Burke - you have to be a berk to pay £500 for a record that must have sold in the hundreds of thousands. Surprised Marvin & Tammi's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" hasn't hit 3 figures by now..........

Nice pink demo, very clean and smart - not quite Mint minus, but near enough - £70.

Yeah Kev, that's my point. Flairs has been known to a number of folk for years and years and unless you are 'in the know' wouldn't necessarily as a punter be aware what a great record was lurking under the surface. But it took a quality DJ to give it it's day - sure, there's a degree of sheep syndrome there, always will be. Sure too, there's a few folk in your neck of the woods with copies, as elsewhere. But does it come up for sale that often? Contrast with the Solomon Burke nonsense - big dancefloor demand on a tune that has sold in its millions over nearly 50 years and still does on CD compilations etc. Easy to find on original 45, US, UK, whatever. That's different to the Flairs which, whilst not a true rarity, isn't that common or easy to get hold of, especially now it is in demand and finally getting recognised and is sat on by folk that have always loved it even when it wasn't in demand and was cheap and are not willing to let it go (like you, I presume - though I have a mate that would like a copy if you're willing to sell............. - I keep refusing his constant overtures for mine.............. )

Well this thread fits with the one currently on the go about auctions doesn't it? Supply and demand - both 45s mentioned are in demand and supply of both, whilst neither is rare as such, neither are exactly plentiful.

I think there are actually 2 syndromes at work here and there is a subtle difference between them. The first, correctly described in Nev's post - common record starts getting plays at general/big venues; gets auctioned and bought for daft money because someone doesn't know better and thinks the record's rare. The record will keep turning up in droves, as it should, and eventually prices fall back to a level closer to where they should have been all along once the novelty has worn off. The second is, IMHO, different to the first - apparently common record (because it's been a cheapie in sales boxes for years and years - "£5 - nice dancer" - we've all seen them, had them, binned them) but which folk 'in the know' (so to speak) acknowledge is in fact a fine record but it's never gone big in the past, probably for that very fact that it is perceived as a cheap, stocking-filler or 'soul-pack' 45, a 'tape-swappers' record. Said record is actually not that common after all (though not actually terribly rare either). The more discerning/'adventurous' DJ picks it up (because they play quality dancers and because they recognise that it's not actually all that common) and finally gives it its day and the record finally gets recognised for its quality after all. The record maintains a value commensurate with its quality. Nev mentioned the Flairs on Rap and Butch - classic examples in my view. Flairs - is it really that common? Butch - enough said. Yours, just waiting to get shot down in flames now............
