please do

:facepalm:

there's a boot with the red A w/ September Jones - I'm Coming Home on the flip.

crazy as in too high, or crazy bargain? I believe there's two right on issues, one with a pop out center and one with a small center. its one I'd like to own on any legitimate pressing, amazing dance number.

I picked up the Mala issue on my last trip to the states for $10.

both cracking tracks! here's an interesting one from a friend's recent sales list (gone now). definite audible warp on the record, but its an interesting piece of mellow/sweet soul from Panama.

here's a latin soul scorcher from my collection some pretty scandalous lyrics towards the end, "make me cream, make me cream"...

is it the same as "subway joe" by Joe Bataan?

been trying to track down a copy of it, Sebastian Nilsson from Sweden played it on the last Backstreet night here in Copenhagen and it was my last official dance of the evening. good one to go out on though! not massively rare but also not widely known I think, and thus hard to pin a copy down.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/IKE-NOBLE-Another-Star-Your-Love-rare-soul-vinyl-45-/270348613841?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3ef20878d1 RBM has had this one listed for ages, I think its a wee bit on the pricey side now by your guys' price range quotes, eh? probably why its still sitting there almost a year later.

this is the most true statement. so many great records £20 and under that you won't hear many DJs playing out, but will get a floor moving in an instant. also condition-wise, some records that aren't in the most perfect top nick are certainly ok for playing out still, and can be had for a bit cheaper than if it were a minty copy.

some boots from the 70's are worth quite a lot by comparison to others, but I think most people on here tend to strive for sets of original US or UK issue vinyl as much as possible. there are some things out there though that are only issued in "modern" times, things that never saw an original first pressing for various reasons. for myself, when starting out playing this kind of music, I bought a good number of reissues, simply because where I play nobody was going to wag a finger in my direction for it because nobody would know the difference, and because I was on a very tight budget. I guarantee though your infatuation with this style of music growing, you'll find there's some serious rarities you'll likely never get your hands on, but will want to have in your set, and more often than not there will be a boot or pressing of that record that isn't nearly as astronomically priced. the way I see it, until you can even consider buying that ultra rare piece, having a pressing of it is more like a "place-marker" in your collection for another record. if the crowd you're playing for isn't going to leer at you for it, and if you're recently exposed to this weird world of northern soul, having a few pressings isn't a bad thing at all.

label scan?

would love to hear the flip of this too

I'm originally from San Diego, grew up with his "employee" Christian. Never met Chris but he does sell some fine records. Say hi for me! and if he's selling that copy of "city of soul" by Ron Rush, tell him it was on hold for me!

Greg, would that happen to be Chris DeJohn?

Paris Blues is a good find, sure to make a couple of old soulies' ears prick up when you play out your first set

Interesting record here mate, vocal harmonies remind me of the Esquires. Best of luck with your health.

I know the feeling as another "young soulie", Marc. I wouldn't get hung up on it. even if your friends are ribbing on you now about it, chances are you'll probably convert them to soulies in due time. its working with some of my good friends who never got into soul early on! by the way, did you ever find a club in your region from your previous post?

jazzman sells some that seem nice, as well as lots of colored inner sleeves

sorted, thanks to those who replied!

either the plain text or graphic label 70's repress, not the Sevens pressing. thanks in advance.

let us (me) know if your spare needs a home
