It still appears for sale somewhere or other Bob, there's no way this is worth what it recently sold for nor £400 in the guides, not IMO anyway. There's no demand from the dance floor either form what I can see. The guy who had them had stacks of copies, for all we know he still might have. There was a lot of talk about him, maybe he has laid low for a while?

Right, how many did he have before, do you know?

This isn't a new policy though. We were giving people a message on the topic for the last few months, one so that the topic poster could see it and two so that others could see it. There are also pinned topics at the top of the sales forum that everyone should be reading as members. Most have agreed to do as asked. We were previously simply closing the topics, I will go back to doing this, saves the hassle and my time, time I can put to better use at home. It is other sellers who complain about the policy off bumping sales posts with "on hold" or "sold" when the topic can simply be edited to reflect this. I will give the topic at the top of the forum a bump so that those that are "unaware" will be aware. Thanks Chalky PS Seen two others who have bumped, have closed those topics, the others are mint minus members. The majority of sales posts have no replies and have simply been edited where items sold etc.

there's no demand for this record now is there? I wouldn't pay more than £75 if that. If Danny Moore can drop to £40 why not the same for this? Danny Moore p*sses all over this as well. More fool those that pay silly money for records that are found in quantity, especially if it is the same seller that had the other lot.

Most? Me thinks you rate exaggerating a tad? Many of the great classics in there and post Wigan greats. Granted not all rare records are good, just the same not all cheap records are good either. It's simply the fact that some are expensive and crap that they get highlighted whilst cheap crap records are simply ignored.

Forget my last post, just re-checked the JM auction topic and Pat has added sold it at last.

I think it was Pat Wallace on here who had one and one the JM auction topic he said it didn't sell. It probably has now but worth giving him a shout maybe.

JM no. 5 guide Original... matrix reads A-72869-13 with a scratched virtue directly opposite. 2nd press (legit?).... matrix reads A 7Z869 - B points to note in the matrix are the 7 resembles a reversed F and the 2 resembles a Z as said the original is thick heavy vinyl with a noticeable dip a centimetre (give or take a mm or two) from edge of centre hole.

I'm talking about the straight reissues/boot of the original. I'll get JM's guide out shortly.

Does it have a dip in the label towards the centre hole? Other flat?

Just ben through some of me dads old records, most are from Cann's, others from Wilson Peck on Fargate and London Road and some others from MJ Thomas on Middlewood Road. When I got them there wasn't much soul in them as dad was Teddy Boy then Country and Western but loads of Beatles (with pictures out of press stuck on sleeves) and other pop of me mothers. I did get stuff like Please Mr Postman on UK Fontana which I sold to Saus.

Think the Willie Wade been fetching around £400, few asked for it.

Can you please simply edit your original post and not reply with "sold" or "on hold". You've been selling for some time and must have seen the countless other reminders? If not can you please read the pinned topics at the top of the sales forum.

Sounded good on "Sounds of the 60"s" yesterday when it came on the radio whilst driving.

The instrumental is just "Lucky" I think and very rare, the vocal "I'm So Lucky" about £30.

It is 1968 according to the Archer pressing plant discography at https://www.45rpmrecords.com/press/AR.php

I have these down as a year apart, one '68 and the 1203 release '69, any run out details that confirm this Dave? Any chance of proper scans, if not too much trouble?

Maybe not the demand anymore Dave. £100 a good price though and a good record

Please just edit your original post, don't reply with on hold or this or that sold. Several topics at the top of the sales forum, all pinned so easy to find that you should be aware of.

Don't think I've ever seen a copy with labels right way round, £150 about right IMO.

I agree. I'll buy either a 2 cd anthology type package or two separate releases of all his stuff and if you want any photos of him from Cleggy feel free to use what you want.

Darrow at Cleggy...

are they legal those Marginal releases?

Usd to call in and have a chat with either of them when passing from work if about. They had another shop just up from what was old Wagon.

Topic started few days ago about this Paul...... As you and others say a sad day for soul music. 83 a good innings though and he leaves behind some great music which will last forever. R.I.P.
