Loved reading the book, more of these stories please Gilly. /Carl

Saxie Russell finishes next week, so not a bargain quite yet:)

Not just you, I feel like that even when it comes to weekenders, but that may well be just me:)

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it👍

Looking for a nice copy of Judy Clay - Haven’t got what it takes on Scepter. Please PM if you can help. Best regards, Carl

Seriously... If you think the Japanese buyers (or a lot of the buyers in mainland Europe) are less hip to today’s prices/marketplace than your average UK buyer, maybe it’s time to think again. Edit: Not saying the Bottom & Co price (or a fair few other JM auction finishing prices) is anything other than insane. Who knows who buys these items at these prices?:)

The record should be graded separately, as should the pic sleeve (if there is one). Any issues with the labels (writing, tears etc) must be mentioned, or photos supplied. Any cutouts should of course be mentioned as well. It’s quite simple: If you see it, let the buyer know it.

Kev, Are you talking about the Individuals LP? If so, Sorry Sorry is another killer. /Carl

Arabians and Falcons are both regularly available for 400 tops. Again, both are superb doublesiders, but not very hard to purchase for a LOT less.

Thanks for posting. That price for The Falcons must be one of the biggest auction-related WTF’s for a long time. Two brilliant sides, but still.

Yes, and on an Expansion 12”, and on Outta Sight 7”, so I’m not sure what that ”never been reissued” bit was about.

Excellent read, thanks for posting.

Dead right Kev. "Loser" is the side I bought it for, only to be pleasantly suprised when I flipped it.

Brothers of Soul - Hurry, don’t linger. Great and cheap!

One of my favourite doublesiders ever, and not common by any means, but that price is pushing it to say the least.

Can you post up a photo of the label?

IMO this is a good example of a record that’s brilliant despite a less than brilliant singer. Both sides are among my favourites since I first heard them.

Killer stuff, keep them coming.

Hi Andy, Here is one: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Soul-Spectrum-Volume-II/master/134099 Best, Carl

Quite a few sellers on here that don’t want to ship outside the UK, even before covid time.

Pm’d you

I’m in, can’t wait to read it. /Carl
