Attention span is the issue you're raising here.

The idea was to list records that are considered played out that are actually really, really good. Not to list records that you're sick of hearing. Why am i bothering to explain FFS Two more; Ruby Andrews - Just Loving You - Beautiful tune! Bottom & Company - Gonna Find a True Love - great tune but reached a stupid price for some reason, a 25 quidder all day long.

I'm sorry, I don't get it. Just thought it was a more positive thread than looking for the worst of records. Wasting my time again I suppose.

Three to start: Jackie Wilson - Because of You Ace Spectrum - Don't Send Nobody Else Pat & The Blenders - Just Because

That's the price of fame ...............

What does it matter?

If my mind serves me (and it might not) Andy Rix used to play this (I heard it when he played in London) and I think it was unissued (acetate). (and £50 for a common boot is ludicrous IMHO)

How weird! That exact model is on eBay [here] - £25 but it is in London and finishes today.

Bobby Hutton on eBay [here]

There's an Olympics on eBay [here] with a couple of days to go. Also I have a copy of The Soul City which I might sell for a (very) good offer, drop me a pm.

3 or 4 years ago some of these changed hands for quite silly money - over £100 Here's one from popsike: https://www.popsike.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-DONI-BURDICK-CANDLE-SOUL-KING/4854456107.html My dynamics cost me less than that I think I sold mine for about 75 at the time, not sure. 15-30 is about right though, no idea why it went so high.

I thought most of it was nicked to be honest. Nice but thin is my opinion. But I am old and grumpy.

Loads of copies of the Joe Tex on ebay [here]

There's a "Buy It Now" on ebay for $35 [here]

There is a small collection on ebay [here] which has been bid up to £1200 from a £1 with 5 days still to go. I've had a look and for the life of me I can't see what is in it that makes it worth that much. Seems to be grapevine, casino classics and a load of 70's "re-issues", etc. I'd put it at about £200? Can anyone enlighten me?

£208 Seriously, its on my site at 140 and it is in Ex condition. He can drop me a line through the site and make me an offer if he wants. Cheers Paul

One just gone up on eBay [here] - NM starting at $99

I saw one at Lowton when I DJ'd there ages ago with Jo W, didn't realise it was such a rarity (ignorance is bliss!) What makes me chuckle about these auctions are the people who put the first bid in; the first bidder bid $50, like he's going to ge it for that.

There's an Oscar Wright on ebay [here]

I think that is very true, and it also works the other way for records coming into the UK. Postal workers know the system and they know that if a packet is shown on the system to have left the UK then it can be misappropriated if it isn't tracked all the way. Similarly, if a packet is not shown as having arrived in the UK, it too can be misappropriated. Someone has a Troy Dodds of mine that disappeared in this way. The tracking shows it leaving the states but never appearing in this country. The international mail services available from the UK are somewhat ludicrous to be honest: "International Signed For" - tracked to point of departure from UK then not tracked until delivered when a signature is obtained. "Airsure" - tracked all the way then not signed for. Why not? Neither service is guaranteed. So effectively the mail services are admitting that they cannot deliver reliably.

The VG one on ebay is now up to nearly £175 I've just increased the price of my Ex- one to £140, think I'll bung it on ebay in a week or so

I have sold a few bits to Italy and never had a problem. If I haven't dealt with someone before and don't know them, I do have an ask about before sending anything pricey. Also I always send airsure now so it is insured, too many horror stories about to take the risk. Sometimes I take a hit on the postage, sometimes if it is a cheap item I'll ask for the extra postage and if they don't want to pay I refund them through paypal. If you want to pm me the name I'll check if I have dealt with them or know them. Cheers Paul

If this is the guy with all the LP's in the front and no 45's on view, I've had the "pleasure" of trying to look through his stuff as well. I'm quite sure he doesn't want to sell records. I looked through a few LP's and each time I moved to another section he followed me tutting and straightening up the row I'd just looked at. I asked him if he had any 45's and he said "Yeah, thousands. What record do you want?" Already p*ssed off, I made up a few and he went and looked for each one. Meanwhile I moved a few LP's around. Tw*t.

This has just been listed on ebay [here] - starting at $9.99 (there is also a buy it now for $96.60 ) The guy has loads of nice soul/funk LPs listed.

One on ebay [here] for a fiver
