I think pre eBay etc the showstoppers was regarded as a rare item as compared to a lot of the run of the mill stuff in most boxes at niters.

I thought I would revisit Marc’s post from years back of pointing out so called “impossibles” since the days of eBay and many auction sites we now have,a rather uncomfortable post especially if like me you paid a lot for a 45 just to see wagon loads turn up😂 soul brothers inc teardrops Ward burton sweet temptation johnny maestro stepping out of the picture cashmeres showstopper (sick of seeing this for sale 😂) doc Peabody (some modern thing) tempos I’ll never forget (3 in the last month) fire away people

So did the45s start on the 5th anniversary?

Is that sarcasm😂

I agree it’s a top tune,and certainly rarer than a lot of stuff of similar money,however I reckon it’s not a dj driven 45?

Very nice indeed,a lot of nice pieces in there mate👍

Sweeter than the day before chess white demo spotless labels and ex shiny vinyl however….the vinyl has some tiny pressing pimples and one pimple toward the end clicks once,the music is powerful so you gotta be listening for it! It doesn’t bother me and it doesn’t skip or jump nice price at £350 inc post

Yeah they are demos mate

£378

Ahh i didnt look at the rudy 45,i stand corrected! Then maybe if the peoples choice was a tad tired then 650 is about right,cos I reckon a nice copy is 800/900 quid tops?

You know what mate it was a vg++ to which Im sure that’s Tim’s version of as good as it gets? So at 650 what a steel.

It feels like the market it is a bit flogged at the moment?

A copy sat on Darren browns site too that’s not moving?

That peoples choice was a flipping bargain! Someone is very happy indeed👍

Spot on Paul….the northern soul scene is like a lot of things in this country where everything is constantly being watered down!

And yes I agree Paul the more and frequent you add to the internet the more the AI fancy’s you! So that proves that AI is corrupt! I wonder if a politician came up with AI😂

Wasn’t there a talented dancer chap from the casino days called sandy? I don’t see that clever AI picking his name out?

Rare soul 45s @ £100 only vg,however Darren’s vg’s are most peoples ex

You’ve done your bit though mate👍

I must admit I have for many years pondered the idea of 2 scenes,actual soul devotees whom attend events, and the stay at home soul collectors,personally I drift somewhere in between,but I’ve known people over the years with the best and rarest collections and they don’t have anything to do with the social scene! Equally there’s people who have attended regularly for years and never had the desire to own a single record!

Maybe the sound on despenza and wand are pretty much the same then. Always wondered if the name change on the wand copy’s was an error or on purpose?

Are the wand issues styrene? My despenza (italics) is vinyl and mint,it plays the way I would expect,however I wonder if the wand copy’s are styrene do they play with a bit more punch?

CLASSIC STAFFORD ERA TUNE,RARE AS HELL,BUT THAT DONT MEAN NOTHING IF ITS NOT YOUR BAG 😂 EX CONDITION £70 INC POST

Joe is cool to deal with,always see if there’s room for movement?

Joe Dunlop at soul mountain has a nice copy that he will swap for a bag of sand👍
