Last year I was in Charity shop in Aberdeen and they were selling Lps for ridiculous prices EG Beatles Lps for £12 etc in crap condition There was a small pile of 45s on the flor with no sleeves. The usual rubbish pop but then a copy of Cado Belle - Got to love on an Anchor issue. She charged me £1 for it. Clened it up to ex cond and sold it to the soul supermarket on here for £30 - Not a bad return. P.S I had the cheek to tell them that their person who looks through their records and prices them had missed that one!

about 12 years ago I lived in a small fishing town called Banff and used to go into Aberdeen once amonth or so. This little 2nd hand shop in dyce often had the odd record but one day I walked in to see a cardboard box on the floor and written on it 25pence each or the box for £4.00 There were about 75 records in it. I looked at the first record and thought Ill buy the lot for £4 as that was a bargain for the first one which was a white uk demo of Pet Clarks sign of the times on Pye. Got out to the car and started looking at them and nearly collapsed 4 Beatles Red & White demos Bread & beer band on the first issue Decca demo - £200 even then. Eden St skiffle band 10 flexi disc including the deck to play them £150 at the time and loads more 60s demos of the Move, The Kinks Status Quo, Helen Shapiro, Pretty things Tom Jones and god knows what. In total I think I made about £950 as I remember not making the Thousand . My Wife enjoyed the trip to Paris

Sold mine last year £20 and although a great tune - not that rare seen a few on ebay and gemm

I used to be lead singer in a rock band in Manchester in the 70s as well as going to the Mecca Wigan Ritz etc. I asked my colleagues to do heavy metal version of tainted love but they wernt into soul so it was shelved- 3 months later Soft cell have number 1 with it! My real claim to fame is I sang on stage with Helen Shapiro when I was 4years old singing Walkin back to hapiness when it was number 1. My daughter is 4 and she cant stop singing "Dont pity me" Now that would be Novel - Drummer Guitar and bass player all 50 years of age-lead Singer -4

I for one will be buying it. Doris Jones - No way out has always been one of my alll time favourites. For those of us lucky enough to see them live at the Ritz in the 70s Levine was far ahead of his timeand very few complained about LJ Johnstons - Your magic put aspell on me (even if it did sound like Living for the city speeded up) the oldies crew loved it just as much as the newies crew!

I suppose Id better own up- I bought a copy of this last month- then realised I was 35 years older than when I hear it the first time. Shocking record- anyone want to buy it for 5 grand? or Ill swap it for the rarest piece of SH**E you can think of!

did anyone see the one on ebay 3 months ago that went for £255.00

Ernie Andrews- Where were you when I needed you

The salsoul copies were Canadian

Can anyone tell me the length of "Beware shes pulling my strings" on the album I sold my Salsoul copy a couple of years ago cos I picked up the single but Im convinced the Lp version is different. Cheers Steve

Ive been and still going through a protracted disagreement with someone on here who I call dodgy and put it to the moderators that this person should be named and shamed in the strongest possible way because I know legally where I stood having all the evidence but I got no reply to my point of duty of care other than sort it out outside the forum which I thought was a wrong call on their part given the transaction was through here. I feel we have a duty of care to each other on here and therefore the person should be named and shamed. Thats my opinion

most Shakatak cds especially the late ones Very underrated disco funk IMO

Yeah Lorraine Silver was absolute S**te and Jimmmy Conwell siging the words - "Got to have money" for nearly half an hour was a waste of good vynil time

Cheers Guys so Ken wasnt that far out at all Regards Steve

seriously ken - Is it £40 or was that I wild guess

Does nobody know or cant you be bothered

Ive been dealing with the seller for years and is a genuine person- I asked if it was from the 1960s he said No it was late 70s or early 80s Dont know how he came to his conclusion but thats what he said so I ddint up my original bid

Billy Stewart- Ol Man River- UK Chess demo I know the Us issue and Uk issue are cheap but I dont know the value of the demo cheers Steve

Thats where I got my copy from - Memories of standing for hours in Sinfonia chatting with Sandy - Whatever happned to him?

Hi barry- Is the Dopebrother copy a later release or different version

I bid on First class but was the runner up- Does anyone agree its to much the same as Jimmy Ruffins version or not agree as the case may be!

Just thought of another- Hang loose by Ronnie Mitchell - fantastic tune which I am going to play out next gig as I am on first but IMO impossible to dance to cost its so bloody fast Some one on here had one for sale a couple of weeks ago.

Q1Someone on ebay is selling Horace Faiths- I cant understand it and stating its been covered up as Phillip mitchell- Is this right? Oh My god - The one on ebay has finished at $103 Q2 - Three rivers blues band- I wanna be loved on Lion records - Anyone know it/ rarity/value (just sold one so interested)

My Mate the Gasher has just got one of these Lucky B*****D Purple Mundi that is

my 2 favs are Condition red - baltimore & Ohio band Supertime(Golden world strings) aka 8oclock by Total eclipses Just on the Condition red How many real white demos has anybody seen? we know the boot was a white label but how many real white demos have been seen
