Nice ones. I thought the Casino was much larger. When I watched the Casino parts in the Northern Soul movie I thought they used a venue similar in the interior but significantly smaller than WC actually was. Guess I'm wrong then.

Maybe it's just me. But I love these little snippets of information. Thanks!

You're spot on. Mike Post either produced it or beefed up the original recording before it was released.

See here. At least 4 releases on Joker. The fifth one listed originates from Germany. Mid/late 90s. They used the UK Joker label to press 3 tunes in demand on the scooter scene back then.

Have you told them? Might be they changed supplier? Bought paper and card board sleeves off them a few years ago. They all did fit.

Watched the DVD earlier tonight. Really enjoyed the movie. Well done. Subtitles saved me and my mates from not understanding a single fu**ing word.

Collection clear out. Mainly 70s, slowie, steppers, midtempo, uptempo, boogie. Handful of crossover and 80s thrown in as well. All prices in GBP. Postage stated is for about 1-4 45's. May have to add a quid or two if you buy more. Although deals available on multiple purchases!

Some more german sleeves, obscure and/or hard to find releases:

Should have stayed unreleased. I think I see your point but it doesn't change anything for me. Even if bootleging unreleased stuff has wider acceptance than bootlegging released stuff it's still bootlegging, i.e. making a profit w/out consent of whoever owns the rights.

It's a bootleg. No rights, no licence. Illegitimate. Period.

Random selection of german picture sleeves. (Nicked the scans off Ebay and other sites but of course they're in my collection as well)

Wasn't there a bootleg 12" of Bretby tunes? One side 70s/modern, other side Northern? I think I got that one somewhere.

Ok, I see your point re. grading and agree, record should be graded as whole and playgraded as well. Don't think it's too much off price-wise though if vinyl is really EX. Didn't know that both Melba Moore and Curtis himself recorded it as well. Just played them, both nice, ok-ish. But PJ wins it easily.

Sorry, but what's your point? Condition? Or price?

Well, starting bid is $8 with well over 5 days to go. That doesn't mean Buddy is a below 25 quid tune.

Just urban myth IMO. Most of today's 5-10 quid tunes are yesterday's 50p quid soul pack junk. Quality records don't have to be worth loads. But up to a certain degree quality is reflected in price. The days of quality 5/10 quid records are long gone. Saying that I wish I hadn't sold all those quality cheapies back then, thinking I could get them back at the same price any day.
