Not sure what the point of this discussion is, the records sold for almost twice as much as it's actually worth, just because it's in 'mint' condition still doesn't make it worth 2 grand. I'll leave you to it...

Can I just say that the original version of Man OF Value by the Del Royals is a masterpiece. Don't like the Tyrone Barkley version. Four records from exactly the same period which always make me feel as if I'm coming down, badly... sue lynne - don't pity me wakefield sun - trypt on love john leach - put that woman down harley hatcher - soul hustler always reminds me of bad Wigan nights for some reason

Can't dispute those facts but if someone's saying it's gone for double what they were offered for theirs, it merits commenting on.

like nobody else has got a mint copy...

Monorays price was based on Mick telling me he just bought one for £40!

Probably cos I could have made something that looks like that in my shed?

He's had that up loads of times. Still no takers!

Any UK red and white demos. Also some of the great Pama labels like Punch, Bullet, Escort, so much more imaginative compared to the oh so dull plain blues and blacks of most UK labels

Ann D'andrea with the instrumental flip was out before 1977 John. It falls in with the run of vinyl pressings on Arctic Harthon etc, if it were 77 it would have been on styrene like Pookie Hudson, the Eric reissues, Rotations on Frantic etc.

It hasn't been pressed twice - Unsatisfied was pressed with it's proper B side and also with Magic Potion on the other side, panic is on was only pressed this or last year * after seeing mick's reply below, I stand corrected, never seen the red one

No need to clarify, the first two came out circa 1974, the Pookie Hudson came out in january 77.

Billy Sha Rae more punch than Eddie Parker? On what planet?

By the way, Please Operator is much rarer than you seem to think, £50 to £75 for original issue or demo. I can sell you a nice copy of The Kittens if you're still after it, the rarer DJ copy, EX, £30.

Cheers mate though obviously everyone else is going to disagree now. I've never paid more than £150 for a red and white, granted they have not been mint but still....

You'll love this one Paul, much better than the last, in fact I'm going to delete the last one and re-use some of the records, still not happy with it. This one is good though, funny as well. Also I kept my promise and wore a disguise

Smudge, you're right about John Anderson but these pre-date Pookie Hudson by two or three years.

I still don't get it - £1000 for a non-Northern red and white...when you can pick up the likes of Shake Me Wake Me r/w for £125.

I don't use the grade M as I play everything so my top grade is M-. That's for a record which is ostensibly new/unplayed until I played it. EX will have been played a couple of times and will be scratch, pop, mark free, maybe it may have some sleeve removal marks but thats it. I've no idea why you can't tell that there's a big difference between EX- and VG+. VG is a grade way down from EX. VG, VG+, VG++ is going to be a used record with many marks. EX- will have maybe one mark, one tiny click. EX is absolutely nowhere near VG++. As someone who sells over 5000 records every year, and receives maybe 1 or 2 back out of that lot, I think I'm qualified to comment on this with confidence. It's not my fault if other people are dishonest in their gradings. EX stays, for me anyway, I can't sell records without being able to use EX and switch over to some ridiculous American grading system which leaps from vg to mint.

No it's VG+ and VG++ that are misused, not EX. What the hell are you talking about, EX means VG-. MY EX means it's almost new so speak for yourself. British sellers have always used EX. You cannot jump from vg++ to mint. It's ridiculous. It's people grading vg and vg+ records as ex that are the problem.

Unless there's an EX grade this is a complete waste of time, sorry Rod, there's a huge jump between vg++ or whatever and mint.

It's pretty poor stuff Rob, first you get the usual hits and near hits, the really well known stuff, and they've tried to pad it out with lesser known stuff and rarities, unfortunately the quality control has gone out of the window and I would say out of 30 or 40 tracks new to me, I saved maybe 4 of them. Depends how well you know your reggae I suppose. I found it terribly disappointing.
