I would have thought around £500 have seen go for as much as £750 in recent years. Old Stafford cover up for Guy Hennigan "Thelma Lavern - I'm Coming Back Someday"....great record

shouldn't this be in the pop section might be black but soul

was this released with a picture sleeve or am I thinking of something else

he was saying the Oxford Nights was soul and I would disagree....he was right

nice one, will do the list for you

wouldn't mind copies of these cds I've other from era can swap for? If anyone has tapes from Stafford thney can sort me with give me a shout

It's actually for a friend, she was offered an original for £50 and a repress for £25 at Middleton she wasn't bothered about repress or original so I told her not to bother as it's less than a tenner somewhere but couldn't remember where at the time

cheers all for the speedy replies

As I Watched You Walk Away....great stuff

Think thats right artist etc...anyway who was selling these and are they still for sale?

Gotta be Butch's Masqueraders cover up. Best discovery in a long time. His Gerri Taylor - It's Beautiful cover up also superb. Heard some great stuff at Andy Dysons the other day but forgot what they are called

I too like plenty of stuff that isn't soulful but I don't believe anyone can call the Oxford Nights soulful, it doesn't sound remotely soulful IMO. White beach music

he was 11

I wouldn't call them soul, northern soul yes.....there's a difference IMHO

kin ell....I forgot about the Peters and Lee not a lot scares me if a set is planned right, a lesser known will fit in nicely with the common stuff without the punter hardly noticing

I'll reply on here Win I blame both, punters and promoters. Too many promoters who prefer to sit in the comfort zone and err on the safe side rather than try and introduce unknowns or lesser played. It would be nice if all promoters at least made an effort for the scene to progress a little by asking all who they book to play 3, 4 or even 5 leser played tracks (as Baz says) rather than playing on the safe side and getting big pats on the back for playing safe. Too many punters all to often want what they know or are comfortable with. Many aren't even prepared to give a record that could be just as good as what they know the time of day which is sad really. This scene IMO can't survive on the likes of the Constellations, it has to change at some stage.

I'm glad you do play sumat different, I wish there was more that did and best of luck to you at Basics but you contradict yourself IMO by saying underplayed are underplayed cause they are shite 3 years since you played BS....thought you played it last year, it wasn't 3 years since the last discussion over it.

because a record is written by Jimmy Radcliffe does it make it soul? Ritchie Adams and Carl Spencer also involved in the LP, including the theme song, does it make it soul As I said far more far superior soul/northern soul out there.

Agree with both John and yourself Mark about the internet, you cannot ignore it or ignore it at your peril. Record bars just not the same now with most collectors doing there buying and selling away from venues.

apology accepted

go to all types of venues Win. There aren't always the progressive venues to go to, some that do claim to be progressive offer little by way of choice at times. I also see playlists posted and whilst I agree that doesn't give the full flavour of the night with regards to atmosphere etc, most are confirm my opinions and most are enough to put me off travelling to the venue in question.

actually I usually say "there's no soul in an instrumental"

no matter how much you love Miss Heartbreaker, you only have to do a little home work to find it's value and even less to probably find a copy. which one...there's three records mentioned in your reply

whether someone goes out once a week, once a month or every three months...they are gonna hear the Constellations every time they do go out......why settle for this.....it's like playing this weeks top forty in a club for the next 3 or 4 years I have to disagree with you about those out week in week out naturally progressing, I've seen very little evidence of this at the majority of venues, quite the opposite in fact at most The scene at the moment is pretty stale IMHO with little imagination.

not always. isn't it about time some dj's got there own identity and created a diferent demand and not always followed the flock?
