Did it! My God, that is amazing. One of the all time greats, but it certainly isn't a rare record is it?

Just saw the latest prices on Tim's auction "I never expected that" Johnny Mae Mathews - I Have No Choice - £1,250

Dun't matter how long you've been doing the rounds, if you ain't got taste, you ain't got taste.

Dance scene, that's why I don't go anymore. I can't dance for more than an hour these days, and can't find a venue that plays what I like anyway.

That was fine when there was only one nighter on in the country. Competition is fierce now and people are spoilt for choice.

See Philippe's post with this link: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/6244989?ev=rb Plenty for sale with double album, and much cheaper.

No mate, you have terrible taste....................I hate all three.

The vultures will be PM'ing you as we speak mate. All looking to get your rare bits cheap.

What's the sound quality like on the repro? I've bought stuff like this before to record for home listening and they have been terrible.

But the reason that people are sitting outside and talking is that they have heard it all before. Bloody hell, I was off the scene for twenty years but it didn't take me long to get bored of the same old people playing the same old records when I started going out again. Some people have been active on the scene non stop since the seventies. How the hell they keep motivated is beyond me. I don't like the funk, but I understand why lots do. It's something new and fresh, and no matter how good the records you play are, if folk have heard them many times before they aren't gonna jump up and dance. Good luck with the new venture, but don't call it Lifeline, new name, new beginning.

I agree entirely with Chalky that funk has taken over, Burnley has gone the same way. I don't agree that there are enough 60's northern newies to continue, but that's just my opinion. I only know this, if I wanted to start again, I would end up buying most of the same records that we played during the four and a half years of Burnley. And I'm not sure on dates, but that must be going on for ten years ago now. Many of those records I still see on play play lists at so called up front venues. So there's not too many quality new discoveries come to light in ten years has there? I don't know why people get so obsessed by anniversaries and the longevity of certain allnighter's. Change is inevitable and good. You can't bring back the past no matter how good it was. It should always be about passion, so start something new if you think it's possible. Have a break then start afresh.

Everything has a shelf life, and everything must end. That's life. Otherwise you end up like the Derby and Joan scene you despise so much.

No f*****g way.

Started to watch it, then lost the will to live and turned over.

I must admit that when I read the "description" I thought I was in a parallel universe. Maybe it has suddenly become a wanted item? It has happened many times before, in that a record you see about for years and thought was plentiful, suddenly becomes in vogue and disappears because it's actually quite rare. Or. Will loads of copies suddenly appear as people try to "cash in" on the latest hot item?

Pretty good, and let's face it she's not hard to look at is she?

Agree with Jimmy, seems to be quite a few rare vinyl collectors of all genres. Nothing to do with the "Scene" as we know it. Just like collectors of rare art or porcelain etc.

Thats fine Russ if you are lucky enough to have the financial stability to enable this utopia. I would love to still have my records, but every bit of money I had was in them. So when I lost my job they had to go.

Like I said earlier, thay have been saying the bottom will fall out of the market since the 80's. Yet it just keeps going up.

Whoever e***e is, he/she must have some money. They seem to bid on nearly every big rarity that comes up on eBay, and they win a fair amount of them too. There's some nice stuff going through, must be nice to be able to afford them.

what did it go for Rod?

Who's Paul?

Boot!
