I guess Franki Valli would be considered naff but then there's "Opus 17"."You're ready now", "Im gonna change" and "You're gonna [hurt yourself]. "The night" is a step too far!! ROD

https://cgi.ebay.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-THE-FI-D...1QQcmdZViewItem looking cheaper by the minute!! ROD

Completely agree. There are how many copies of Clara Hardy over here? How many copies of Ringleaders,Constellations,Wade Flemons,Dena Barnes etc etc. Demand will provide the going rate and right now $400 is not much by Northern standards pricewise. If you hang on you may get a copy for $50 but then you may not. ROD

I think you're all being rather hard on old Fosland. Without those American dealers on Ebay how would we all ever know what was Northern Soul and which were "Mega-rare" and which were just "awesome". I've learnt a lot from those guys like for instance how to play a warped, cracked 45 with an 18gm cartridge rigged to a nuclear reactor core so that it plays like Mint. ROD

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4808110169 It is a boot isn't it. Someone on here bidding it up I assume.

Anyone interested in these for sale or swap before I try Ebay. All Mintish Virgil Henry "You ain't saying....." Colossus The Joys of Life "Good times are over" Columbia WDJ Fads "The problem is" Mercury WDJ Re. swaps, Im not into modern or R&B, sorry. Thanks ROD

I bought the Millionaires "Never for me" on a nice WDJ from Mr. Nemo. Now I know he only finds things in massive quantities Im sending it straight back!! If anyone is interested we [Dave and I] found the Danny Moore 45 by checking the phone book for the writer. J.Massingille. He was inconveniently dead so couldn't come to the phone but it was his brother/cousin [can't remember now] we spoke to and he'd kept copies. Didn't have much luck with Buddy Smith though. ROD

Anybody got for sale in Mintish condition[no scratches,no scuffs] on original design labels 4 Tops Baby I need your lovin [ Not that faded label "boot"] Motown Temptations The way you do the things you do Gordy [first label issue] Demos would be really nice but not bothered. Thanks a lot ROD

.........to spread the Good News about our Saviour,the Lord Jesus Christ. You know Jesus was the first rare soul man. He left Nazareth and despite Peter,Paul and Mary, he ended his career with the Thieves. So why not stop to talk next time you bump into me at wherever.....

I do but I like it and didn't think anyone knew it though I have played it locally these last couple of years. PICK-A-HIT 100 Cheers ROD

You probably know by now that Im not you. Do like the "end tag" on your postings though but nowhere near enough.!! After breakage should be put in an oven at gas mark whatever and slowly roasted until sticks to the fork. Cooled in something that cools things and then buried deep underground where devils with pitchforks...... Anyway Im sure you get where Im coming from.

OK, second attempt. Hello Im a new member and obviously know as much about navigating my way round this bloody site as I do about soul music. I composed a witty erudite answer to Simon's query, previewed it to omit any information that was garnered under torture in an East European country and pressed something I should have maybe not pressed with the benefit of hindsight. Anyway what I wanted to say was that I think the Anne Perry is the Detroit pressing as opposed to the West Coast styrene/rosette pressing. "Bell Sound" stamp would suggest it's not a boot. I have J.J Barnes "So far away" on Mickay's which I notice is also "Bell Sound" and Im pretty sure that wasn't booted as it's rubbish really. More to the point I have the 45 too and I got it years ago from a mate in USA's collection and he'd got it in early 70's. So Simon ,don't throw it away. Thank you [for kind comments and warm welcome] ROD
