agree with you ted, looking at the bidding history 2 low feedbacks and the bid retraction history looks abit dodgy....

hi all, put on ebay up for grabs some nice ORIGINAL 45s, 89 x US 45s + thrown in some US motown bits so roughly 100+ 45s all in nice clean condition unless stated take a look, not the usual bootleg collections lol hope someone can do a link because im crap with this sort of thingy..... low starting price.... a few ££££s worth in there happy soulin russ ps happy to answer any questions

imo i think this thread should keep running as there have been some very interesting points. questions being made yes it has gone from a inital thread to another topic discussion but i feel both do go hand in hand? also i think winnies post of trying to explain the scene, ie two layers is correct and well put, but what as become very noticable is the lack of postings from the the first layer soulies, djs, promoters......most probably to busy bidding on these collections...... ps, just noticed thresd been split lol

just noticed that there as been a bid retraction of £8,000.00 have a look at the reason lol !! ps its on the bid info

brilliant!!! also quite fancy the bird near the bar with the white top and black skirt/dress on........

recently got hold of a copy of - the deadbeats - no second chance - strata, many years after i first heard it played and as allways been one of my favourites, what makes this copy alittle more special is that it is the original "phantom janitor" cover up copy aired by richard searling still as the tape marks on the flip side, just makes you think how he must have felt playing this out for the first time and how it become part of the history for our scene 30yrs+ ago........

hi all, got thinking about records that have some sort of history or story attached to them ie; how you got it?, signed by artist, original covered up copy etc i think you get my drift.....hopefully allways enjoy reading threads about records so much knowledge and great stories on here happy soulin russ

a uk issue which upto very recently ive managed to get a copy after atleast 10yrs elkie brooks - hes gotta love me - hmv issue never seen another only a picture on a uk soul cd sleeve by pete s or ive not looked hard enough lol.... russ

fair comment, but if yourve just listened to the soundfile in this thread its a very poor recording doesnt have the same banging backing track & sounds slower/warpy imo

£30/£40 dependant on condition

well theres the answer, end of thread lol

interesting suggestion, never thought of it that way, must say the sound recording on the upload isnt very good, sounds miles better of the real thing imo

i can understand the "tricky beat" reason but people will still dance to these....clarence reid "tricky beat"?

pmsl moldie! only you could suggest that, what i dont understand is that people dance to shite like ermmmm bill bush lol

i dont understand either, hence the thread, just interested if there are other quality tunes that have the same non dancefloor response or possible reasons ie; not known, wrong beat to dance to etc if you get my drift

hi all, got thinking about any "brilliant records" that seem to be non dancefloor friendly, records which have everything a quality record should have being 60s 70s 80s etc, but, when it comes to the dancefloor...no response... the record im finding this seems to happen when djing is; clarence reid - im your yes man - wand , imo a brilliant 45 which as everything a "proper" record should have, is this just me? or are there other "brilliant records" which have the same non response? or should these records just be tucked away for home use only? any thoughts, possible reasons, suggestions, similar stories etc happy soulin 2012 russ
