Pretty scarce on Doctor Bird, £30+ but because it's soul it should be easier to pick up than a lot of the label. I don't think I had it when I used to collect the label. If you look on ebay usa you should be able to find one on the Jamaican label BMN Records

Why would anyone want 'sensible offers' on an Action 45?

Blues Busters

Think he's bullsh*tting you, it's not on any download site yet

God I hope not, one's bad enough.

Yep that John Belushi was a great singer, as was his mate Dan Ayckroyd.

I didn't mean that particular record, just selling in general.

Simple. Some people are expensive to buy from, some aren't. We all know who they are. What makes the prices differ so much can only boil down to one thing and that's greed.

Bumping this as there were loads of good tunes on this list which got overlooked. All sold ones removed.

He can get it sent so's it must be signed for but can put any value on it that he wants...

It's been up on here a while Andy, I think it was Bob, the guy who is interviewing them, who posted it up. Agree, it's fantstic.

I think it's black only. I can only assumed that for some reason that number went unissued for a few months, then they decided to use the catalogue number, by which time the label had changed to black, because it's surrounded by red and yellows.

I've got all of the Action label ones - but the problem is, I have a full run of the label and haven't decided yet whether to try and sell them as a collection, or split them. I'll decide tonight!

Pretty bad I'm afraid, mainly because the record is pressed at such low volume. I'll try and sort a sound clip out, got nothing connected up at the moment though

Already a topic on this - I'll merge the two

Well this one is VG++ little noise at the start so was going to stick 500 on it

Blimey. Thanks chaps. Just wondering if it's worth putting big money records out on the same list, not that much dosh floating about is there.

The Moments - You said / hey Boy - Deep. Any ideas please? Book price is 1250.

Right thanks John, this is another occasion when Popsike is useless as the copies on there are nowhere near that price. I remember the only other time I had this record, I never liked it and hadn't a clue that it was rare - I listed it for £30 that was back in 2001 though

Most of the A La Carte cd's are very well compiled and are interesting to say the least. Quality is rubbish on some tracks but there are hundreds and hundreds of tracks on these that never came out on official cd's.

Seen this in the book at £1000. Surely it can't be worth that much can it? Anyone know of a copy selling recently and how much? I've got one on my list today but am already being asked for it and not sure what to ask.

Thanks mate, the one on Unity entitled Peace maker by The Hippy Boys is the same track as My Argument isn't it? The Tommy McCook on Lord Koos is, according to RKR, "Trial By War". There's a Rupied Edwards tune on Big called Christmas Parade which is supposedly Conversation - know that one?

Tone, I know this will be a bit of work but can you list me all the versions of the original Conversation rhythm that came out over here, not digi versions or anything. There's Uniques - island glen adams - unity shorty - green door there's one on Lord Koos I think by Tommy McCook and now I'm stuck

Didn't realise it was so old, cheers.
