Thanks Billy, that's the kind of reply I was hoping for. Hammie, do you consider any of your plays underplayed? Or just solid quality oldies?

I'm seriously not trying to troll but which ones of your plays do you consider underplayed? I'm really curious...

Sorry, that's dutch, not german. German one looks like this (WD in this case):

Please close it. Labeat's stubbornness is unbearable. There's a link at the bottom of the topic, reads "Moderation". click on it and choose "lock".

I like all versions posted. Such a great song, excellent lyrics and a haunting melody. But to me, Spyder Turner is by far the best. It epitomize Northern Soul. Lyrics, production, voice, just perfect.

No need to wait. He and it made 464. Do you still think 700 is minimum?

I certainly disagreee. Some real heavy tunes on auction (in all three sections) but quite a large number of records that are surely non-auction items (IMO). E.g. latest additions: Phil Terrell, James Bounty, Big Frank, Jordan Bros, Detroit Gold LP. None of them should be auctioned. They're set-sale items.

Oops, am I being boiled?

Sorry, but that's just a lame excuse. If you want to play LP and stick to OVO you have to play them from the original not from a carver. There are small LP boxes available. Sturdy ones for about 10 LPs. Not too heavy to carry around. Edit: when I was dj'ing I used this one here. Good for up to 25 LPs/12": https://www.bestellung.musictools.de/koffer-cases/lp-koffer-fuer-25-lps.html

IMO much more important than having a passion for collecting is having a passion for the music. I practically stopped buying records. But not in a million years I'd stop listening to soul music.

That MGM label looks a bit odd, sort of empty compared to the US ones. Are the canadian ones all like this?

Oh so true.

I feel the same. Once the buzz is gone it simply doesn't make sense to keep on buying.

Less than 400 in real world I'm afraid. It made about 450 on Manship. So real value way below that. I'd say 300/350 depending on condition. I know it used to be 700+ only a few years ago. But it seems demand has dropped since then.

PM'd you

No. Am serious. Nice record, good dancer.

I think it's a quite good dancer.

Speaking of info, is Shirley Matthews & Belles - Always be in style same as Patti Austin, i.e. cover of Sid Barnes? Thanks!

Shouldn't be surprised about that considering who the seller is, but anyway... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jackie-Wilson-Somebody-Up-There-Likes-You-Coral/121179095101

Don't know about the tippex ones my copy is fine. But yes, wrong anniversary number. It reads "6T's 5th anniversary" on the label. But it was the 6th anniversary.

I noticed that too. With some auctions you can see how many other people are watching it. I guess it's on .com only?

Discogs pretty accurate for this track: 1) 6t's anniv 45 1986 2) Magic Touch Kent LP 1986 3) Horaces 45 1987 (?) 4) Fabulus 45 2002 5) Kent 45 2003 6) Musicor lookalike (pressing) 2009

Yes, clearly organ with a bit of echo. Still sounds weird though.
