AHHH I knew there would be a snag. Not rich I'm afraid, got a great box of tunes though.

Thank goodness for that, I didn't fancy having 12inches removed from my legs, or wearing a blonde wig. There's got to be a snag though, I bet you live darn sarf don't you?

It would involve very major surgery, but hey, if you want me to be a five foot blonde, I'll give it a go.

MY GOD, you ARE the femail me. we were made for each other.

I'll take that as a no then shall I ?

Soulgirl, you never gave me an answer to my marriage proposal, [see post above] Phil.

It always makes me laugh when we talk about how rare a record is. How does anybody know?? Just because[excuse the pun] there were a few copies for sale 20 years ago, doesn't mean there's thousands of them out there. If it wasn't for the internet, nobody would see the copies for sale. And even if it isn't rare, demand obviously outstrips supply, and so the price goes up. That's life I'm afraid. If there were loads of copies about nobody would pay £500 for it. If you want something badly enough, you'll pay the price. Another reason for these price rises, is in the 80s, ther were only a few collectors. Today rare soul collecting is massive worldwide, thousands of collectors chasing the same titles. My mate tells me stories of the scene in the 80s, very few events, attended by the same hard core. Big ticket 45s for sale at nighters, some that didn't sell for months. Go to most events now and you never see heavy weight 45s for sale. Most boxes are just the same old Pye Disco Demands, and cheap box fillers. I actually think that most of the big collectors don't actually go out anymore. Sorry to go off on one, but I just don't know how anyone can possibly know how rare a record is, or isn't. Phil

Anyboby got a 7" vinyl thingy of this for my old fashioned turntable pod? THE APPOINTMENTS "I SAW YOU THERE" DE-LITE Cash Waiting. Many Thanks, Phil.

Why so??

£500 actually

Didn't do anything for me Nik Just very ordinary I.M.H.O. Phil.

Soulgirl, Are you married? Cos if not I'd like to propose. I've agreed with all your comments and you are definately my kind of girl. I tell everyone that I'm not into modern. But as you said, there are a handfull of 70s records that are superb. Problem is they are dog rare and worth four figures, and the only DJs that have them all and can therefore do a good spot, are the Butch's, Mick H's, Soul Sams etc. What I'm saying is, that in my humble opinion, there aren't enough quality 70s tracks to make it worth while. I've gone to venues for years now, trying to find somewhere that plays quality, rare upfront 60s soul, from start to finnish. If I'm going to get sweaty dancing, then I don't want to be stood about shivering, waiting for another record that moves me. I've still not found one, though the Lifeline allnighters were by far the best. I was going to jack it in, disallusioned. But I've started my own night, and have a strict music policy. No spots for favours here. Only DJs that have the records, and that are ENTHUSIASTIC! and that actually dance to the music. Across the board music policy is ok, if you can get Butch to be a resident. I go out to hear music that makes me want to dance. You can listen to what you like at home, but don't expect me to spend my money and time listening to it.

That wouldn't be YOUR home by any chance would it Chalky?

Sorry Billy, must agree with Christian and Ted. Mate of mine has a mint copy of Jimmy Burns for sale or swap for other heavyweight item / items. He wants £3500 for it. Out of my league I'm afraid :angry: Phil.

Had any luck with that Frankie & the Damons track Billy? Fcuking fantastic, would like one myself. I bet Ted's got one. Phil.

I can only agree, this is not the place to sell 45s, unless they are big ticket items. Most of us on here are chasing the same mega rare tunes that we all love. Supply and demand. Phil.

Yeh, he's also got ROZAA - MY BABY KNOWS BEST - ANTONE at £75 I'll take as many copies of that, that anybodys got. That book should start with the words, ONCE UPON A TIME, cos' it's full of fairy tales. Phil.

NO, NO NO, He had at least six copies. I bought the first two that were on ebay £220 - £230 if my memory serves. I sold one on John Manships auction for £530 and kept the other. The last couple he sold were at the cheaper prices that you quote, cos a mate of mine got one, sub £200. Phil.

Hi, did you sell the EL ANTHONEY? would be interested if not. Best Regards, Phil.

There was one for sale on these very pages last week for £1200. The seller has had 3 copies. A very ordinary record I.M.H.O. Butch must have a buyer for it, cos he's got one. Well, I've heard him play it a few times anyway. Phil.

This happened to me Mike, you have reached the limit on your credit card. I had to put another card on my account to cover it. Or you may be able to increase your credit limit on your current card. Either way you've been buying too much vinyl, stop it. Phil.

BUGGER :angry:

£800, that's what I sold mine for. Tim Brown sold one for £750 the same week. Forget all the ideas of getting one cheap. Demand is high and supply is short = high price. The few that turned up have long gone. Phil.

.

This is the original release without the fog horns. Seen loads of copies on up down, but none of these. And this version is better I.M.H.O.
