never mind all those, there's nothing much better than soul source's own sound section... if it ain't in there ask and no doubt it will be posted

whats the title of the Contessa, can never remember can remember the label though, I think, Lazbar or Lazbo. For another thread elsewhere, it's a one of as well isn't it? Tim sold it on his list about 8 years ago for about £400, who has it now?

If I found a Margaret Little it would be on e-bay in no time, for one it's getting plenty of exposure, it may be great Northern but it ain't a great record, far better ten/twenty quidders out there (IMHO)

to be fair to Tim he was right at the time, i known copy or whatever figure he quoted at the time. The Clara Hardy just goes to prove you don't know exactly what is ouit theree or when it will turn up. It can be said that Margaret Little is good example of a record that goes big, one turns up, fetches big money then another suddenly appears...not bad for an unknown record few years ago.

I would say not too many. Going by the daft prices these days most of the top dollar mega rarities would be offered for sale. What would you do if you had just seen a record go for £10000 that you paid cents or a few dollars for?

(take the Mello Souls for an example). thats why we say "3 known copies" and not "3 copies" because 3 are all that is known about. No one knows how many are out there but it is safe to say that not all records were presed in ntheir 100's. Many only handful pressed at corner shop recording studios where they paid there $25 etc to have a disc cut. Many only enough cuts done for the group members maybe a few extra for local promotion around local radio stations.

But Ruby Andrews, Epitome of Sound, John Bowie haven't disappeared, they are for sale via one medium oir another every day practically, certainly on a weekly basis, so why are they so expensive. Now Dan mentioned Walter & Admerations and £8000....is that so unreasonable with todays prices with a record of which only 4 copies are known? It's bloody good northern as well whioch woulod make it even more desirable.

dunno mate

Always pals mate thanks for the comments, should have some news regarding next year pretty soon

re-issued by atco early 70's

have a listen just in case....

Yes...it's terrible Do you know it Brett? or are you thinkin' of buying blind? My advice is save your money, will post a sound file in a bit.

Another sad loss. Didn't really know Dave personally but heard lots about him. My sympathies and condolences to his family. R.I.P.

I trhink I'd better cause she's already gonna give me a kicking....you'll be next I reckon

will this do..... J J Jackson Sho Nuff Got A Good Thing Going .mp3

I'd agree with Pete as I've seen many more plain yellow with the address copies than the one with lines.

I bet you bribed some punters to ask for them too

Combinations is fantastic...and fast one of the slowest...Don & Juan - Heartbreaking Truth - Mala

one of the fastest...CODs - She's Fire.

quite a few dinasaurs still on the scene

I would personally say both Labeat rarer. Seen far more Palmer over the years than either LaBeat. After all Palmer was the label for national distribution.

It's a boot......

This is what Dave Thorley had to say.... Both discs from John Anderson....One disc had "win you over" on one side and "Baby what has happen" on the other, some that one was correct. The other had "all of my life" and a nice slow track on the other side, which did sound like the Ringleaders. But both disc's where blank 10" with writing on the sleeves crediting them both to the Ringleaders. When I sold most of my sixties stuff at the end of Stafford these went back to John, he tells me that he then sold them to some guy in Kings Lynn. When I saw the CD I was just as confused as you. In a recent conversation with John Pugh, He said that the Four Temples where in fact the Ringleaders and this had been their previous name.

thats the second issue quite a few of those over the years, far rarer on Labeat IMO.
