Why?

yes another tricky one..i bought my first off Soul Bowl mid 70's..convinced it was real....BOOT!...orig is a pale olive as opposed to a more deeper, forest green..

 

Delrays is easy to tell compared to the real one unless of course you don't know the difference but that is the same for any boot, they are all good if you are non the wiser.

I disagree most records, especially common records have a rough price, give or take a bit...but over 50% plus more? When all recent sales (set sales that is) have been less than £60 including a demo, for one to fetch £125 a week or so later says to me someone hasn't done his or her homework or have enough money they can't be bothered to take a few days to look round. Again it's an auction price and maybe the red mist descended on the bidders?

I neither want this or have one to sell so have no axe to grind, I'm certainly not jealous. There is a percentage of people distorting the market. Now everyone will want £100 plus for this now when it simply isn't worth it, IMO of course.

Bidds is finally getting refurbished

What? Something not great on an iPad?    

Sound is ok just not loud enough, I'm deaf so our lass tells me.

Female, she says "fill it with you blue boy" at one stage. I am listening on iPad and sound not great, must get some headphones.

I guess a lot of people in the UK bought their LP's when the prices were higher and are looking to get back what they paid

 

I remember in the late 80's and early 90's LP's from the like of Jean Carn, Roy Ayers, Jones Girls etc were selling at record fairs for around £15 - now they go for around £5

You are probably right but do UK sellers not checkout competition? Almost to a record, very seller outside the UK is cheaper than the UK seller on Discogs.

I would much prefer to do my trading in this country but when LP's are twice the price and more than European and US dealers then I will do my buying with them.

POSTAGE IS TOO MUCH FOR LP's FROM THE STATES NOW.SOME SELLERS WANT $20 OR MORE NOT WORTH BUYING LP's ANYMORE.JOE.

I agree the postage is too much from the states but even with the extra it is usually cheaper than a UK dealers copy.

There is a record advertised on here at £40. On Discogs there is one at $14.99, just under a tenner, even with postage it is still half the uk price.

Why are uk sellers of Lp's in particular far more expensive than European and US dealers. Even with postage they often work out cheaper to buy from abroad.

There was one Lp on here last week that I wanted and there were five copies on Discogs half the Uk sellers price or less. Do they want to sell, are they in it for what they can get out of it? This wasn't or isn't an isolated case either, time after time Uk sellers on Discogs are near the bottom of he list for sale.

This should be 30/40 quid, maybe twice as much for the demo. There was a demo offered on here other week for £55. Some people just aren't prepared to do either any homework and look for a valuation or even look for a copy at the right or a reasonable price.

usual reason.....no one takes any notice (i.e like it for what it is)..until it starts getting played

Maybe so but this has always been played. It isn't rare by any stretch of the imagination.

I shall be at the Stables on Saturday for Lifeline (blatant plug) and there is nothing sterile about that place.

Plenty of great venues about although there are some places that need a bulldozer. Dunno why most promoters feel we are more than happy shit holes with flea bitten seating.

The Wilton is one of the best venues I've been in, nice clean and ideal for an all-nighter.

It still is rare in the grand scheme of things and I dare say most of the copies up for sale are copies that have been about for a long time just doing the rounds.

£250 you are having a laugh aren't you?

Probably due to the quality of the recording they used Franc. Pretty sure the soundfile used was for the coy sold via here last year.

Wiggy, almost certainly a cut/emi/carver or whatever name people wish to call them by. What is the acetate label name, any markings etc?

Was done about a year ago.

I was told it was a Mecca spin first then a Cleethorpes biggie?

It isn't the same George Clinton (Parliaments etc). He's white for a start. There was a previous topic and I think photo of him if you search SS.

I've missed the Wilton so can't wait for this. Debbie Taylor and band, gonna be one great night.

TFK always had taste. I've downloaded and got it on he iPod...will be listening today.

Again....Carl Carlton has been and done Cleethorpes. Great he was too, real showman full of energy. Think he was on is arse finance wise back then as well? Ady will know more.

Who is Kala?

That boot came out just after the last copy was discovered - what, 18 months, 2 years back?

n.b I was told that it was a legal reissue after I said it had been recorded off the sound clip recorded by the owner of the record

 

It was a year ago just under......

Carl Carlton has made a weekender appearance here, 2006 at Cleethorpes along with Darrow Fletcher I think.

Firstly, this is not the greatest quality recording but as 100 Club tapes seem to be pretty scarce, it was worth putting up I think. This is a Keb Darge spot from 11-5-1986 and features records that would have been played simultaneously at Stafford - or had Stafford ended by then, I can't remember. Have a game of spot the cover up...I heard Johnny Vanelli (actually Jesse Davis) and The Sequins (actually The Persianettes). As I say, not brilliant quality but better than nothing. After this I'll probably put up a quality 10 ot of 10 Wigan tape so look out for that.

 

Stafford had finished by this time Pete.  Stafford closed in February 1986.

 

I have at least three podcasts on my mixcloud page of the 100 Club about a year later, maybe a bit longer, about 4.5 hrs of it I think?

I'd like to see the list too
