oh, ok, so it's actually a northern 'best before 70' soul weekender that's wanted, I didn't realise that 'rare soul' was a sub-section of 'northern soul', I though it was ummm... 'rare soul'

soul essence....

I was at a record fair and all the records were priced quite cheaply and had '1', '2', 5', etc on them, then I came to a mint 12" of this and it had '50' on it. I was interested in the record and pulled out a few other bits as well and was chatting to the guy a little and picked the blair 12" up and said 'I'd quite like this really...' to which he replied... 'that's 50 pence then please' So I obviously paid him for it immediately, he wrote the sale in a notepad with the price and I strolled off to the next stall. I then overheard him saying to someone else who was trying to barter with him about how they were his mates records and his mate had gone to get a sandwich and would be back soon so he could talk to him then about a deal. About 10 mins later i'm on the other side of the room just about to walk out, and I glanced over to where he was in the corner and I could see some red-faced bloke with a notepad in his hand, waving it around then holding his head in his hands whilst appearing to be shouting at the guy i'd bought the record off... which led me to a moral decision... do I go and hand the record back... what would you have done?

I'm selling BOTH Original Frankie Zhivago albums - 'The Age Of Flying High' including 'someone stole your love', vinyl has a few light surface marks but plays absolutely great and they don't affect play, sleeve is in shrink and has fading through age only - and his 1st lp prior to this one 'Rams On The Loose' (note those are stock photos not my copies here, if you want photos or soundclips I can sort something out) which is also in great nick and plays as it should! I'm looking for around £300 ono for both albums, 'Flying' goes for more than that alone https://collectorsfrenzy.com/Details.aspx?id=110623576835 Any questions or interest, just drop me a PM or mail soulcitizen@yahoo.co.uk These are the only 2 albums Frankie Zhivago ever released. cheers Sutty

advances in technology, much like it has changed the sound of music all along cheers Sutty

It's about as right as this, which appears to involve not just a vastly inflated price, but time travel as well, seeing as it was recorded and released in 2002! Sven Zetterberg - Heartaches was alll you got £70 Rare original of the 70's crossover biggie

I just misread that as "It's a 72 track LP that was pressed on a 45" and was like lol

Hi Russ, glad you are well, take care buddy Good day to you to Mal, long time no see! And to Eddie (hi to you too m8 and also long time no see) who started the thread and asked for an MP3, I assume you don't own an original 45 and thought you might like to know you can pick up a legitimate re-release for peanuts and listen to the record at your leisure. It's well mastered, nice loud cut, and not a bootleg, but that was never the attempt. Anyone attempting to pass off a one-sided 12" of a track as an original 7" would have to think the buyer was pretty gullible really, but then again, some of the sights i've seen at all-nighters in the past, I reckon it might just get past one or two people out there if you hit them at the right time of night... cheers Sutty

Unless you actually live in a venue, pretty pointlesss buying it then anyway! lol Sounds fine round my house, I might play it in a minute

U know this was reissued on 1 one-sided 12", officially I believe, a couple of years back, should you want to entertain yourself with it at home and still have change for a new car https://www.discogs.com/Mixed-Feelings-Sha-La-La/release/1591229 cheers Sutty

Bizarre that the replies point the guy towards no soul music recorded in the last 10-15 years apart from the house variety, but the very era he doesn't want lol as he states 1975 is not actually modern as such so try https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/ https://www.crazybeat.co.uk/ listen to Solar/Starpoint/Stomp radio shows on the net, make your wants lists and contact the dealers that sell this stuff, along with searching Discogs/eBay, etc 'modern soul' is such a broad church (and many will argue that 1975 is still modern) and there are thousands and thousands of great releases, you really have to search out what you like cheers Sutty

PM'd you cheers Sutty

where DOES he get his ideas from! only kidding Mart

Following that discogs link it seems that Richard Flowers wrote NF Porter 'Keep On Keepin On' as well as 'For Real', never made that connx before assuming it's right?

you could always try this

I think you're aiming a bit high there... https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=1476814&ev=rb https://www.cdandlp.com/product/2/113941795/solid-solution-loving-you.html https://www.recordmania.net/?ref=lookup&recid=SLN62692&PHPSESSID=fd3e840febee85adc4df38713c8b7e0d https://www.musicstack.com/listings.cgi?find=solid_solution&t=loving_you_-_silver_spoon&media=Vinyl

Well Ian is a dab hand at design, he did the early Kent comps for Ady...

The funniest piece is the Isley Brothers 'My love is your love' green and white demo mug, when it was a photoshopped bootleg label for a non-existent 45

Remember the David Rhodes fiasco played out so publicly a few years back, where it was claimed it was an o.g. 70s press (when it was a 70s recording on a recent press). The b-side gave that one away, it had a 90s sounding drum machine on it, and the labels were in a modern computerized typeface if I remember lol, so it's not always about the vinyl cheers Sutty

The GSF 45 with 'It's a New Day' on the other side is a boot? Both the British and the USA issue? news to me, is this true, surely not? cheers Sutty

Saw your post on EMS in wants and replied there, I have a Mint copy here I can post straight away give me a shout soulcitizen@yahoo.co.uk or via PM on either site cheers Sutty

Sadly not in this case, remember picking it up when it came out, think it ended up in a charity shop in the end. Blaze have made some fantastic records. This isn't one of them though... listen before you buy no matter how big a Blaze fan you are cheers Sutty

99% of the posts on this forum relate to the northern soul scene, it's known as a northern soul forum (and a very good one), so i'd say yes you are predominantly on a 'northern soul' forum, that's why most people come here? Yes it covers other bases but that's it's root audience (not that there's anything wrong with that of course). You write as if i'm criticizing you in some way, i'm merely stating that if you step out side the collectors bubble represented here, you'll find thousands of people who are not clued up on original vs reissue 45's, are not part of any 'scene' ("The original copy has been known and played on the soul scene throughout Europe for a long time"), don't frequent forums and when they want a record, they look directly via ebay or google. So the buyers probably happy just to have the tune on vinyl, and the seller wasn't misleading anyone and is also probably happy. The fact the buyer doesn't shop around is more his issue: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=ambassadors+%22ain%27t+got+the+love%22+arctic

In answer to your original case of the 'sad bidder', this particular track was sampled on the Pete Rock and CL Smooth classic 'I got a love' many years ago, as i'm sure some/many will know, so the likelihood is that this was won by someone who's more into finding the original track on vinyl that PR sampled but not necessarily bothered about finding an original pressing of the track. Not everyone out there is as clued up as people on this forum as regards Arctic Records 45's and I guess quite a lot are really not that bothered about originals/boots/reissues, as long as they can put the needle on the record and listen? I can't imagine this ever got played on the northern scene anyway did it, doesn't sound like a northern 'sound' to me at all? Just a thought... cheers Sutty

I've got a Lena Horne issue up for sale here if anyone's interested, it plays perfect, i'll do free post on it to anyone on ss: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/30766526?ev=bp_titl cheers Sutty
