wouldn't be the first time an artist has claimed something to be his that isn't and there are various examples of this amongst what we collect. -
Spot on Pete and yes we all know people who have done what you describe and some whomare doing it today.

But what about when you've heard it for the the zillionth time and have been listening to it for 30 or 40 years? It is no longer special is it? DJ's pay 2.5k for a record and have to wear it out. The fact that they buy these trophy records usually makes them lose their imagination which is sad. i'd like to think it was collectors paying some of these prices but somehow I doubt it.

Glad you understand where I am coming from Kev anyone can buy a set if you have the money. Not everyone can use their imagination or put a set together and actually make it flow. Some of the worst sets I've heard are from trophy hunters who only play records because they cost them a fortune and not necessarily for the quality.. Many of them are disjointed and do not flow and are frankly boring. You hear many of tne so called rarest of the rare every week if you are out and about. Some of those who spend thousands don't even have the balls to play an unknown.

It is the only way to get bookings and get on on this scene Pete, buy trophy records and spend 1000's in the process......pay way over tne odds and get talked about even more, even better. Not many promoters are interested nor have the balls to put someone behind the decks who uses his or her imagination and who put a well thought out set together irrespective of the price.

Save some money and buy the LP, great LP it is with the LP only No tricks.

I've emailed the store. Will let you no if I get a positive reply.

If you can't do it right as they say don't do it at all, leave it to those that can And there's plenty who can and do, not just a few, there are more than enough Dj's to satisfy this scene whether it be oldies or newies.

You can buy the whole box set for not much more, that is why greed is mentioned. As said in a previous topic some aren't happy with making twice what they pay, they want five or six times what the pay, that is greed. I can understand the capitalism argument for genuine rarities but prices like this are simply exploitation.

Who is the brainless scarecrow gonna be then

Seems to be mate. If you see one give us a shout.

Mid 80's and I think Guy? Could be wrong.
-
I remember hearing it at Blackburn (Guy's Soultown All-nighters before the Nighters run by Mick Lyons). I picked one up around that time after hearing it, gave it the odd spin up t'north.

following the recent deaths of two of the Manhattans members, Blue Lovett and Sonny Bivins, Kenneth "Wally" Kelly, the last surviving founder member of the group has passed away. http://www.soultracks.com/story-kenneth-kelly-dies In a year that has been filled with sad news for the millions of fans of the singing group The Manhattans, we have another piece: Kenneth "Wally" Kelly, the last surviving founding member of the group, has died. Kelly was there at the beginning of the iconic act and remained a member right through to the end of their hitmaking days in the late '80s. His death follows the December passings of two other original members, Blue Lovett and Sonny Bivins. Now, only Gerald Alston, the wonderful singer who joined the group in the early 70s and sang lead on their biggest hits, remains from the most popular version of the Manhattans. - See more at: http://www.soultracks.com/story-kenneth-kelly-dies#sthash.95NeVP9x.dpuf -

What is the Skip Mahoney CD called?

Super read and a truly fitting tribute to arguably the greatest finder of rare soul music. Oh for a time machine to go back to the time the lists came out and to have todays tech with it, enough to make you cry reading some of the titles and prices when you consider what they achieve price wise in today's market. Some of those paying silly prices now do not realise in some cases just what quantity was available for some titles. What day and what time is the Soul Bowl tribute at Prestatyn?

There's three times the amount of Palmer demos on popsike compared to Labeat issues. Just a couple or three Labeat demos. Probably about the ratio I've always seen it at since the 80's. I know in the early 2000's someone wanted one and could only find a Palmer copy then. As for water damage, that was from Lou Beatty's basement wasn't it John? John Anderson telling us he left loads floating in water with no labels on, just taking the remaining stock that had labels.
-
I realise this, but you can bet the post office will take the declared value as the value. One of the Pinches is having trouble or was, the PO wouldn't take the sale price as value, only the price he bought it for and wanted proof of purchase. They also have a specific packaging guideline (in a jiffy bag) they don't tell you about but accept the standard mailer we all use when we post.

If you declare a lower customs value and damage is caused that will probably be all that you can claim for I would have thought?

Popsike only goes back 9 years, 2006. Looks to be more Palmer demos than Labeat copies on there just glancing through them.
-
Never seen an issue if the Palmer reissue ;) Don't know anyone who has? Therefore until one is seen Labeat rarer. Used to see very few Labeat copies especially the issue, but you did see the Palmer one. Might be little in it regarding sale according to popsike but it only goes back a few years.
