Biggest Nighter Tunes Of The Last Ten Years
Trouble is Byrney, only a small proportion of the people on the scene will have even heard it. I agree though it's fantastic, I always ask Butch to play it.

The thing that worries me about the youngsters is, they aren't getting into it for the same reasons that we did. Soulboy the new Teddy Boy?

I didn't Steve. The tv was just on and I'd forgotten all about it, don't look Ethel, but it was too late. Now I'm so depressed. We we just look so uncool now. I don't like being old.

Just How Rare?
I love Bobby Rich and had a copy that had a long history of owners. And that's the point. It was a record that never turned up, but now seems to be far more prolific. I agree with Dobber, it's a bloody nightmare owning rare records. You are constantly worrying about a box full turning up.

Just How Rare?
There's definitely been some copies of Bobby Rich turned up Chalky. Don't know how many, but it's gone through eBay a couple of times that I know of and I don't look on there anymore. There's one for sale on here, and they have all been minty.

Just How Rare?
So many top rarities have been for sale over the last few years that I don't think anyone can be sure anymore. The internet has opened up the market place, and half of the population of the USA seem to be record dealers.

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
I would be all for that Neil, but the "new" ain't in the same league. Big Lad = Brilliant & Rare Record that everyone wants to own.

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
Not a chance in 2014. Everything has been sorted through a million times. Just my opinion of course.

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
Neil, I admire your way of thinking. However, when you come to sell "a big lad" you will have no trouble finding a buyer, and you will get your money back, or maybe even make money. Your 10 semi knowns will be in the sales box for a long time mate.

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
What my original thread was implying was; During the recession some incredible 45's have been coming up for sale especially on ebay, but they now seem to be drying up. Does this mean that the recession is coming to an end and that people aren't having to sell the "family silver"?
-
Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
There's no way I'm going to sit down now and write a definitive list. If you don't know what the most wanted 45's on the planet are by now then you must be an imbecile. When one comes up on ebay there will be a thread about it on this forum. How much will this go for?

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
Yes but they have been saying the arse will fall out of it since Wigan ended. Well before that actually, I thought it was over around 76 with all the pop at Wigan and the New York disco at the Mecca. I bailed out then and didn't realise that it had carried on until someone told me around 2000. First I couldn't believe it was still going, then he said they were still taking drugs 30 years down the line. now that I didn't believe.

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
With respect I disagree. The big lads have been the big lads for many years, and there are new big lads that get added to the list as we go on. As an example I would say that; Billy Bird - Lost In The Crowd - Scream has become a big lad. This has a different type of sound but it still immediately appealed to me as soon as I heard it, and it's rare, and it's bloody good. You only have to see the demand for classics like Lou Pride, Tomangoes and George Blackwell etc. etc. the quality of these means they will always be wanted.

Where Have All The "big Lads" Gone?
Sorry about the title, it's a term used among some friends of mine for "The Top [make up your own number] Rare and Brilliant Records That Everyone Wants To Own" Is it a sign that the recession is over that these type of records seem to have disappeared from the sales section? Don't get me wrong, it depresses the hell out of me when I see a 45 that I have always wanted to own for sale and I can't afford to buy it. But the pickings seem to be very slim at the moment. OK, apart from the couple that Pete S has had up.

Two Soul Scene's
This is just another oldies versus newies thread under a different guise. Trouble is there are no newies anymore. So there are golden oldies and post Wigan oldies. The so called underground scene are playing post Wigan oldies mixed with stuff that never made it and Funk. I love the golden oldies and the post Wigan oldies, but I want to hear something new. But not Funk.

Why indeed Tony. It's like the youngsters now all want "to be famous" and deserted churches are suddenly standing room only when Songs of Praise turn up.
