He was HUGE.

Well yes, but there are also a lot of people who only want trophy records and that drives prices up too. While everything else languishes unsold or with one bid.

Another dimension as a pretty serious soul collector with a large collection, Ebay is full of very average - sh*te records, I've seen a thousand times before. It's like a constant merry go round with the same boring spins popping up time and again - hey a bit like the northern scene ha ha….. I've got most of the ones I want. There is very little of excitement on there these days, excepting when a known collector is putting up some rarities, acetates, or a rare occasion when a genuine hard record is put up by someone.

Yes have to agree Pete. I found a CBS WD in a junk shop in High Brooms when Helen Shapiro was all the rage in the 70s. 10p it was....rushed home thinking I'd discovered some great alternative version of Russ's monster. I nearly took it back to the junk shop for a refund I was so disappointed.

Thanks Steve, appreciate it.

Hello Ivor, I don't remember Jay Strongman doing it, but I do remember Robbie Vincent having a brief dance on his Radio 1 show with Indie Soul......I even sent him some records to play (Johnny Dean etc.) which he duly did....Steve

Just puts in perspective how much stock was coming through Soul Bowl…..if it was £4 probably quite a bit of quantity….

ok thanks, hadn't seen it on popsike.

Has anyone a copy of Jan Bradley's "Trust me / These are the things a woman needs" on Chess?

Yes and do you remember Mike Ward telling American hopefuls it was his article? One of them funny things…..

I am up for doing this, but need to get my Scepter books out first, then I have one other project just starting, so it's number three on the list……right now.

Just look how some of those titles are now so in demand…..others not so……if only we had a crystal ball!

I dunno John did shift a lot of those new releases he was picking them up from all over the place…..lots of people were just buying them. I was buying twenty plus every month...….we were spoilt for choice looking back.

Yes, we should document early days of the modern scene through to the end of the 80s……the sounds, the faces etc. I don't mind doing a part of it…..just lack of time at the moment…..

i agree with this. As a regular visitor to the West Winch barn in the early - mid 80s, the £3.50 stuff was usually 100-300 quantity. The more expensive front page stuff more likely 15-50 quantity…I didn't get it then, my copy came from Rod for £15 in the mid 90s…..time to give it a spin again….
