If they had really made counterfeits of the Royal Esquires wouldn't it have been a pretty stupid idea to flood the market with them and see the price going down dramatically?

It was an anniversary do so pretty likely it was a Northern Soul fan. But let's not talk about this any more. It's just when I read what @Soulman posted this annoying incident came back to my mind.

Was told to "f*ck off back where I come from" at the 100 club a couple of years ago.

NOS = new old stock

Royal Esquires one of the worst deals I ever made. Was offered a copy @500, bought it straight away thinking I got a real bargain. 4 weeks later the NOS copies flooded the market. Eventually turned out seller (well known DJ) knew about the NOS copies and tried to get rid of his copy before price would fall. Not mad about this but it still leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

help me out please, where's the mistake?

Sounds reasonable, B-side is a nice lowrider sound. It used to be shit-rare and four figures before a few NOS boxes were found and price went down. I guess even though many of these unplayed copies are in circulation demand is higher than supply these days.

Don't be that hard on them. It was just a petrol station giveaway.

Last copy on Discogs went for 400 quid in June 22. And the one before in May was $650. So there are infact people paying these prices. However, the copies before these two sold for 250/300 quid max. So there seems to be a rise in demand from whatever part of the world.

Many thanks Sebastian! No idea why I couldn't find it. Anyway, reason for asking I was quite surprised to see this auctioned as a Soul or R&B record. Both sides are plain pop IMO.

Can somebody please post the item description for king size Taylor on UK Polydor? I couldn't find it on JM site.

Yawn! this was covered countless times....

Most prices seem to be in fact really reasonable in today's price climate. Was the Chancellors 45 the issue? This is a good price if it was the issue. Which Willie Tee press was it? With or without piano?

Don't know if this is actually true, but was told that the jamaican rocksteady trio Three Tops is called Tree Tops on a handful of releases because somebody gave the printers the release details for the labels via phone. And how do you pronounce "three" in a jamaican accent? Tree.

Wow, never seen or heard of a pic sleeve for c. mcphatter before. Any chance of a nice scan of it?

Royal Esquires and Dream Team another two examples....

complete set of 37 CDs available for GBP 120 incl. shipping to EU and UK. Anyone? Please PM me.

Both Belita Woods on Moira are hard to find in better condition aren't they? Am surprised a bit about some of the records mentioned in this thread. Had couple of copies each over the years of Harry Deal and Freddie Houston, all EX or better. Never noticed how hard to find they are nowadays in acceptable condition. And yes, that records as ballast for ships is just urban myth.

Complete set of all Grapevine 2000 CDs ever released. Plus the very first two CDs on Soul Junction from 2005. All in all 37 CDs, all in great shape, no broken cases, scratched discs etc. Infact, two CDs are still sealed. Each disc goes for 5-10 GBP on Discogs but I have no idea of price for a whole set so any reasonable offer welcome. Postage is €15.99 within EU, €26.99 to UK Please contact me via PM. Offers in Euro only please. SOLD

sure, was about to that later today anyway.

There are 35 on Grapevine 2K and the very first 2 on Soul Junction (Ron Henderson, Tony Cook). So 37 in total. Yes, I want to to shift them as a job lot. No idea of price yet. Also depends on buyer's location as I have to factor in postage costs from Germany. If anyone's interested please PM me. It's a lovely collection of some great music. All discs in excellent condition. And desperately seeking a new home....

Hope this is the right forum. I have a full set of all CDs Grapevine 2000 ever released. And I need to shift them all for some reasons. Is there any market out there for them?

If I miss out on any new limited release I want I'll see if the label offers download. I'd rather pay a few bucks to the label for the mp3 than buying from any greedy re-seller.

There's this neat little website called Discogs, which has most (if not all) the details you want. Ever heard of it? https://www.discogs.com/de/master/525244-The-Soul-Twins-Quick-Change-Artist-Give-The-Man-A-Chance
