Compared to some of the prices of some records you see every month, every few months, and this, a disc major dealers haven't seen for 20 years, plus the quality and demand then yes I think it is a bargain. Until some more turn up, if they turn up, then £2.5k a pretty good figure to shell out, the buyer obviously thought so too.

$4,383.00 (£ 2,738.76) Bargain IMO considering it's rarity and how good it is.

topic has been well discussed on here, some former topics...

Great story Ratso What was August and Deneen's full or proper names?

topic already on the go about EMI discs

Most of the funky stuff played in Northern rooms is as Joan says, it has a funk edge to it. The harder funk type records are mostly in side rooms and I doubt much of it will crossover to mainstream NS rooms. Listened to George a few times, even been on at Lifeline, but I doubt some of what he plays would survive in a mainstream venue, think George would probably admit as much too. Like Joan it isn't all to my taste, much of it second rate, there's much better 60's ignored.

what do you call central Scotland, Glasgow/Edinburgh area or actually in the middle

Agree with you Marc "I'm Surprised" is very good

Bang on Byrney, mainstream is a safe environment and not the place for anything unknown. There is very little tolerance out there these days and very little appetite for anything new. Thing is when some thing does make it eventually it's always others who get the credit

well IMO Butch and Andy Dyson are still the top two. Andy probably shades Butch as he Dj's most weekends but he does find stuff for other DJ's too. Butch is semi-retired and isn't heard enough these days but when you hear him at places like Thorne, Lifeline, 100 Club you still realise why he's the top DJ on the rare soul scene. Some of his sets at Lifeline the past 18 months are as good as I've heard from him. New records are a nightmare to break. Because not so many travel these days and you have all the local factions/scenes it would take half a dozen DJ's to break a particular record in a short space of time. Some of the records that just one or two DJ's possess have taken something like 10 years to finally make it, some longer.

or maybe fallen back to what it is actually worth, is it really £300 rare? I know of many rarer records that don't fetch £300.

ignore me thinking of something else.

If you go on a dealers website can you honestly say you know every record listed? No you can't and anyone who says different is probably lying. There's plenty of cheap great records out there that haven't yet seen the light of day, ignored simply because they are cheap. Too many promoters and Dj's hung up on records that cost a fortune. No one talks about a Dj with a box full of fiver records, everyone talks about the Dj who spends a fortune on a set, wrong but thats how it is. Peoples mindset has to change first and foremost.

Is the Ricky Andrews the one on Mars La Tour? If so i played that upstairs at Cleethorpes weekender last year. Andy Dyson has it now and he's played it out.

Welcome to the forum Royalpunkness. Not everyone uses bay so for the benefit of those on here who don't an introduction would be appreciated, please go to https://www.soul-sour...uts-and-intros/ I'm sure you can understand the concerns of some when you put up a list like you have worth so much in your very first post. The rest of you, you've ben asked time and time again to refrain from posting your comments (both good and bad) on other peoples sales topic. I'm sure anyone interested in a particular record will get any extra info they need. All posts not relating to the sale will be removed. People asking questions and making comments which are answered in a previous post.

wouldn't mind seeing the photo of the group if any one can oblige?

She's fine thanks. I do no how important charity is and always done my bit for lots of charities.

What's charity got to do with what the promotion is? and Wigan to Wolverhampton is about an hour away. Who's the high and mighty and nobody is saying no one can't have a promotion. Think the whole point of this is people promote, without looking what else is on and really couldn't care what else is on. Would it not be better to not bother with those dates, go for one later in the year with the possibility of more attending with no clash? What the music policy is is irrelevant, we are all chasing the same 3 or 400 people. As for stroke's Kerry my partner suffered a brain haemorrhage nearly three years ago so you don't have to preach to me.

I can remember Dave Peacock, he was living in Hasland last I knew I think.

Still is covered up.....well was. It is known who it was by some but never seen the actual artist/title mentioned in relation to the cover up.

thats why I keep asking sellers to leave the price on items they sell, easy to search and get a recent selling/listing price.

The biggest factor when it comes to the attendance at an all-nighter these days is the price of petrol. It's simply too expensive to travel and do an all-nighter every week. People will begin to pick and choose where and when they attend.

Exactly Steve, you can't avoid a clash these days, everyone wants to promote, everyone wants to Dj, somebody at the end of the day will be upset by the actions of someone else, we just have to get on with it. Having said that some should put a little bit more thought into what they are doing and do their homework before doing anything.

Well said Ali. It's no one's business what someone does but their own. It's about time some folk stopped telling everyone what they should do don't do and just looked after themselves.
