  1. One currently on ebay, buy it now, at twice the actual price

    I've still got Candy Skin, I don't like it now though...and their mini album, Lubricate Your Living Room, was awful. Anyone who remembers these days with affection should check out a book called Rip It Up And Start Again by Simon...sorry, forgot...well it's a brilliant look at the post punk years, very detailed and a real memory jerker.

    I had that as well! About the same era as Delta Five...
  4. I've never listed this for more than £20 and I can't believe it's getting played, terrible girl vocal...I think Richard Domar discovered this
  5. You'll be lucky with the label in that condition...no offence like...as for seeing it sell for up to £500
  6. Had a box of 54 Jamaican originals this morning but about 25 northern sounds so far, this morning I got a LInda Jones - My Heart Needs A Break - Loma, I got this off ebay for a truly riduclous price, something like £29 - I couldn't believe nobody else bid on it. To be honest I didn't think the seller would go through with the sale but fair play to him, he did. I also got his Countours - Shake Sherry - UK Oriole DEMO for about £16. Bizarre isn't it.
  7. If this question had been asked 25 years ago I would have been lost, but as it's been asked now, I'd have to say it wouldn't make a lot of difference, as long as I've got my football, my ska and my girlfriend and forthcoming 'babby', I'm happy enough. I admire you lot who can do it week in and week out but the magic has long gone for me.

    I did the cd but didn't broadcast it after all as I had to go out and deliver a record (to someone from Cheltenham, how weird!) but Todd is on there...

  10. What really bugs is me is when it's a known fact that a title has been found in quantity yet amazingly the price goes UP and not down....I can name numerous examples but tghe last time I did, I was seriously legally threatened by someone.
  11. How does a record like this go through the roof despite having been around for years at £25? I remember buying one out of a box in a shop up here in 2002, £25, I sold it for £50 and was laughing (also had the Icemen on blue vinyl for £100 and sold it for £250)
  12. I always liked Emperor Rosko I did
  13. I've been to three Prestatyn weekenders and never seen a live act. Tell a lie, I've seen a couple in the modern room which is the best place for chilling out...but even then I didn't really see them, I just heard them

    I think I do mate but it will be very very hard to find, I've certainly not got the vinyl anymore apart from 2 singles. I don't suppose you are interested but at about 2.30 I am broadcasting something a bit different on that pirate station, instead of ska and soul I'm just playing some of my favourite records from the 70's and 80's so at the latter end of the show there's the likes of.. the aformentioned Plain Sailing theatre of hate wild swans ruts wah heat smiths plus more chart friendly things like cruel to be kind, johnny and mary, tiny children etc... just thought it'd make a change
  15. You can have it if you want, we can swap
  16. Never liked seeing live acts at all nighters. No problem with seeing them at a concert venue but not in the middle of a soul night. Anyway if it's not David Bowie I wouldn't pay to see anybody.
  17. Pete S replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    The certainly did...On My Mind...Lazy Days or was it Ways...and the Tracy Thorn solo album was great too
  18. What does it actually mean?? Whats atty?
  19. I'll have a go at answering this. It depends on: how much I paid for it and how much profit I think I need to make. I don't automatically go "this record is worth £100 so I'll ask £100". For instance, had a Jimmy Beaumont on my list yesterday, it cost me £60. I listed it at £90 which I thought was a pretty good price for a minter, it "books" at £100 and £150. £30 is a good enough profit. Towards the end of the day, it hadn't sold, someone offered me £75 so I took it. So only £15 profit but at the end of the day, I just can't afford to have paid money for records and not sell them. The men with the finance and years of doing this can do because they have financial security, it doesn't matter to them if an item sells or not, they just bring another one out. This is a matter of - well not life and death but it's serious for me - one income in the house, baby arriving next week, and the only income is that from records so it's finely balanced, I have to make sure that the records are priced attractively enough to undercut everyone else whenever possible and are priced to sell. When I get something that I know really is rare, I'll ask for a decent price for it - yesterday, Linda & The Pretenders at £500, I know this has sold for £800 but who's got that sort of money at the moment? When I first started this I was doing very, very well because the bank supported me and gave me a £5000 overdraft which I used to buy as many records as possible. Since I moved back here, I have no overdraft at all, so no spending power, hence I have to spend most of my time trawling ebay to find bargains. But the point is - I think if I had the financial backing again, maybe I';d get that old attitude back and think about putting prices UP because it doesn't hurt if the records don't sell so much as it does now.

    Ask Mick Smith how much a Stateside issue is...
  21. Pete S replied to a post in a topic in Look At Your Box
    Dunno but my mates got one of these to sell, he didn't know it was worth anything!
  22. A record so bad I can't even think of a 'brown' word to describe it
  23. I knew there had to be a worse record than George Hobson, it's a close call but this is it!
  24. Pete S replied to a post in a topic in Record Wants
    You should be able to easily find an Anna King on Ebay for £20 - £25
  25. The Linda & Pretenders is a Shrine record in all but label mate...and someone bought Val Martinez off me this morning so finally got shut of it!
