I surely agree to that. I used to store my records only in card sleeves and noticed all those tiny little hardly visible scratches over time. Then I used paper inner sleeves plus card board sleeves. Protects the records 100% but also takes up lots of space. I use them 150 count card board boxes* for storages. With paper and card board sleeves I only fit max. 100 in one box, that's 1/3 less. If you have only limited storage capacity that's quite an issue. My storage capacity is rather limited so I now use paper inner sleeves plus heavy duty outer poly sleeves to prevent the labels rubbing on each other. That way I fit about 130-140 records in a 150 count box. * 150 if you use paper sleeves only.

Seems like my price wasn't nice enough. Now 150 quid for a quick sale!

I'd say finding 1960's 45s in true NM/M- condition nowadays is almost impossible. Yet that grade is used by many. I stopped buying stuff on Soul Source as I got stung too often with poor grading. Sad but true.

P.S. I throw in a full coulor copy of the original fact sheet that was sent out to radio stations, promoters, journalists etc...

And which ones are worth an auction? Maybe Just Bros and Deloris Ealy. All others are set sale items IMO.

An empty CC sleeve? That's sad.....😫

I thought Chris Hill wasn't involved and Mascara was a german production but I stand corrected now it seems. As you already started hijacking this thread to post some of Luther's finest recordings in the last decade how about this soulful house classic? I remember when I played it the first time at a dance here in Munich the dancefloor went mental:

link points to "my ebay"????

absolutely no reason to spends lots on a Technics if it's for home use only. There are many cheaper alternatives like Reloop, Pioneer etc. that sound just as good and last just as long. Just make sure to use proper quality cartridge and needle as mentioned before.

Sure. He's Lola Falana's brother. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_Falana

Dry Well is a Moody Blues cover as said before. And it's brilliant I have to say. Ellen & Shandells (aka Dry Well) is a sort of illegal re-release. The band didn't know about it at all.

You really want us to believe that?

If you refer to the Professionals: Can't recall if the break is longer but it's a different take with a different intro. Pretty weak in comparison to the released take (in my opinion). Unfortunately the alt take is the one used for all CD/LP reissues of it. Can't recall any legit compilation that featured the issued take.

Listen to the Sammy Sevens record and you'll realize it ain't Chubby singing.😉

I guess there are two dominating types of Manship auction customers: a) collector, not really affluent but prepared to pay over the top if a long-standing want comes up in the auction. Might be aware of the general increase in price of a record he bidded on after the auction b) collector or wannabe DJ. pretty affluent. Bids whatever it takes to secure a trophy record. Doesn't care about the influence it might have to the market if he pays 5x the current market price.
