Nearly forgot 'Didn't lose a doggone thing' on Press. Great R&B tune. Got another tune by an artist called Cookie Jackson on Reena but can't be same artist cus it's really bad Country and Western (so bad even I don't like it )

Cookie Jackson 'Try love' on both Cyclone and Progress is even better IMO Used to be around £400, but not sure if still the case. 'Good girl gone bad???' and 'Suffer?' ring a bell. Also one on Uptown but it's pants

Have said it to dealers meself....both for over and underpricing - but again, won't name names.... Plus the price can always be dropped if they get it wrong and it doesn't sell...whereas it's too late if they sell it too cheap On the other side of the coin, how about this then - you see a record on a list you've been after for ages, in mint condition for half the value you think its worth. Do you... 1) Phone the dealer up and politely tell him of his mistake, and then offer double the price he listed it for 2) Buy the bugger as quick as you can then tell all and sundry you've had a proper bargain 3) Leave it where it is cus theres no such thing as a bargain

Like I say, no matter how much some of us think we know, we don't know it all, so over and underpricing will always happen. The R&B side of things has definately upset the applecart on pricing, cus a lot of dealers don't know how to price it, cus it's an unknown market to most of them. I've had some blinding R&B bargains through this, but also seen relatively cheap and common tunes listed for stupidly high prices.....would love to give examples but don't want to upset anyone by naming names

Great tune - got an Ex copy for sale at £35 if anyone wanys one Prices will always vary - same as if you go buy a car or a house or a loaf of bread. Shop around and you'll probably get a better deal. Haggle and you'll usually get it cheaper. There is no bible to quote from, even the price guides ar all over the place...we all make it up as we go along. Supply and demand will always push prices up, but who decides a relatively unknown record should be worth £50 or £100????? Experience and knowledge will always help...but I bet every dealer at some point has picked up a tune he doesn't know and thinks I'll stick £50 on that, same as they might stick £15 on it and get told it's recently sold for £150.

Sold a Willie Mason for £300 last year - already got Nat Hall (Mr Bicknells old copy) and much prefer it to the Willie Mason version. As also said, got a nice flip on Nat Hall - compared to 'Knock on wood' on Willie Mason He's got a decent surname though.... Got the Willie Mason off ebay - it was listed by a U.K. dealer, hidden in the 60s pop section for £2 starting bid with no reserve Went for quite a bit more than that in the end, but still got it cheap.

I personally believe that the allnighters will on a whole go back to being more underground with attendance figures dropping to 150 - 300 max, more likely to be at the lower end of the scale. One or 2 of the obvious big events may well continue being successful a few times a year, but I really believe the smaller nighters will become the main stay. The music will have to merge more to accomodate lower numbers so shite R&B will get played alongside wishy washy Northern and disco bunny modern Seriously though, this should allow more new tunes in all genres to break through.....as it used to do. Soul nights attendance figures will probably stay healthier for a lot longer due to the reasons outlined in previous posts, but a lot of allnighters have basically become extended soul nights due to the mass attendance expecting the same tunes they hear week in week out at their local soul nights....and the dancefloor dictates on such occasions. I think there is plenty of young DJs with plenty to offer, they may not be Butch et al by any standard, but they usually have limited exposure to play stuff they truly believe in, so time will tell. As for their choice of tunes, all said and done, one mans meat, is another mans poison.......

Shane please keep my name out of it....

Nah mate, just checked - she's still on there with tons of stuff... https://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcI...t=3&completed=1

She must have run out of Eskew Reeder - Undivided Love........I had at least 14 copies off her She once sent me a box of 30 New Orleans Soul & R&B 45s for free, asking only for an indication of genre of music so she could describe them more accurately on ebay (yeah, yeah I know, why did she ask me then.... ) Maye even let me have records sent to her to forward on from U.S. sellers who would not ship out of U.S. Great gal...have to check ebay see if she's still selling....

Made my morning that one...cheers Dan

Maye Luquet from New Orleans used to trade on ebay, but not noticed any items from her of late. She bought a load of stuff from a warehouse at one point and was listing 'em in quanities of 100 or so at a time on ebay. Bought loads of her a few years back...anyone dealt with her lately?

No probs, even at $180 I would not have bid due to reasons I mentioned, so in the circumstances you were in the best position to bid and pick up. Result....hope it comes good for ya! Mind you, El Cerrito sounds like Bandit Country to me...think I'd rather risk meeting a stranger in Dudley with £600+ in me pocket Take some mates and a big f*ck off piece of 3x 2 with you just in case. Have they got a bar in the dessert like 'Dusk till dawn' with 'Every kinda pussy' If so don't meet the seller there mate, at least not after dusk anyway...

Nice one Interested to know if you asked if you could pick it up in person before bidding and if the seller agreed. If I had known I would have bid and asked you to collect for me Please let us know how you get on so as to quell our suspicious minds

Sorry to any potential bidders, but gotta be worth a discussion this one. https://cgi.ebay.com/JACKIE-DAY-Want-Your-L...1QQcmdZViewItem Not risking a bid myself cus I'm put off by low feedback and comment in description about not phoning to hear sides cus it's already packaged..................................but would you? Discuss folks..........

Well I'm sure you will dig some out over the next day or so and post them up....

Thought not...............

...........oh.....right........ Could some-one post any pics of Joe when he had hair so he can show me how it should be done Unless you are brave enough to do it yourself Joe... I presume your bald look is natural, so wondered how you looked when you actually had a full head of hair...been as you have an unnatural everlasting interest in mine

Would that be the local with the skittles Jim lad...

???????????? ??????????????

Shane - threads about Cliff Richard and God... 'bout time you moved this to freebasing methinks

Read it again.

If he was insured do you think his mates would come on here with a begging bowl? Shit happens to us all Pete - as well you know, and the last thing people wanna hear is what they could have done to prevent being in the position they are in.

Not sure he has a p.c. Pete, and not sure if that reply is meant to be sarcastic or not.

Nice one Nige, bring it with ya. I've got a spare mixer somewhere so looking good. As for Insurance Pete, the guy obviously didn't have it, so although he might find such advise useful in future, I don't think he really wants to hear about what he should / could have done at the moment cus his head is in the shed big time.
