he either says A two or I too, and then I think it's I want some more and I can't quite make out if it's lord or love, sounds more like lord to these cloth ears

said all along popsike not always the best indicator of a records value. Too many too quick to post the popsike price when the guide books would probably be a better guide. I would sooner go with prices I still see in boxes, lists etc than popsike and ebay prices.

why?

is somebody's sales topic the place to be slagging a record off? How good a record might be I could understand!

The last Holidays I've Lost You I saw sold was £400 I think.

These days it rarely takes long for a record to get uncovered or known by other DJ's or collectors even if not uncovered. If it remains covered up for years it really is a rarity and the artist wouldn't benefit at all anyway. There's been plenty of cover ups that have come from the artist in the past

Demo is yes, but the issue? 400 quid rare?

christ, 400 quid there's at least one a month on ebay alone

Right venue conditions and policy I think you'd get the DJ's. But the thing with past eras of soul, wigan, stafford etc, the records have been there in quantity waiting to be discovered. Now, could you keep it fresh monthly let alone every other week.

The scene is so regionalised these days that you really need 5,6 or 7 Dj's to have a record to break it in any decent amount of time. It's practically impossible mto break a record that is na one off. Regular nighter? would people traverl these days to a bi-monthly nighter? Due to the numbers of nighter goers, around 3 or 400 hardcore, there's not much left over for other nighter promoters. mind you I don't think that would be a bad thing in some cases. Where would the best place be these days to hold such a nighter

Thanks for that Marc. Don't suppose anyone got mp3's? or anymore details about the lp?

cheers for that Bob. The sound file didn't work Sean

Hope it's not too serious mate get well soon!!

Your post comes across a tad condescening Did anyone ask all the other authors who felt the need to educate us if their books warranted writing I for one would love to read about this period in the history of the scene and its undoubted impact and impression it has had on the scene. You only have to look at todays playlists and you will see many records from this era still being played and still having an influence on the dancefloors around the country. It is a major period in the history of Northern Soul and it deserves it's story telling....all IMHO of course

Sad news coming thick and fast these days R.I.P. Sweet Louie

can't go wrong pal at that price. There is another vg+ for $9.99 if anyone else wants one.

it does look ppretty good and if it is a boot makes you wonder how many of the previous ones that fetched plenty of dollars are genuine

I've been sat here wondering why the bid so high for what is stated as a re-issue

just been looking at popsike and some that have fetched close on $500 (there's a few) and can't see the difference.

two great sides and shouldn't cost more than a tenner or so. One on ebay buy it now HERE $12

Your ideal type of venue will by and large never exist Malc cause soulies are for the most part selfish and want to hear only what they want to hear and many are very intolerable to other genres/sounds/records they are not familiar, with or have no wish to hear or what someone else might want to hear Rather than accepting other records, having a break from dancing to records that they don't like that someone else is dancing too, go to the lav bar have a chat whatever they would sooner moan that the music was shite!

Details of said missing numbers?

If it's no troible mate, wouldn't mind knowing the details.

Don't be fooled by what people say on forums about wanting to hear something different at an all-nighter. Seen it time and time again on here about how fed up they are and when someone does put on such an event they never turn up, too comfy in their armchairs
