Anoraks Corner

Another one with the infamous backing utilised by Rodd is called, 'If You Don't Dig Rock'n'Roll', but I can't find it in the label listing...defo exists as I had one! Have kept my 'Like The Lord Said'...Stafford anthem, charismatic, dance floor delight!

Don't get me wrong I love R'n'B, but after reading the above 'big up' I was very disappointed after listeing to it! Obscure, yes, interesting, yes, rare maybe, but average at best. Each to their own, mind, and that's what keeps us all digging and happy!

You are correct...the bootlegs had yellow lookalike labels and were on thin vinyl. Has anyone got the Soul Symbol lists that were pumped out in the early 8Ts...they were SImon Soussans actual collection of originals...absolutely packed with quality stuff and all at crazy cheap prices even for that time! Sweet, sweet memories!

I know this corker also came out on Cameo, but here are the two label variants for the Double R label...and what a great tune it is...smack up my street with its sinister organ work and sharp, sharp brass...the old 'Otis Pollard' c/up:

A splash of colour amongst al these WDs

PM me if anyone is looking for a mint copy of the P-Vine LP (#6529) featuring Willie & The Mighty Magnificents on side A, and Willie & West on side B.

I love this tune I recall her performing it during a PA at Tower Records in Kingston mny years ago...she arrived late, but had such a great voice! What also struck me was hoe petite she was/is!

For those seeking a talking piece, I've just landed a spare of this rarity! Can't be many in the UK...if any at all!?

Some more Japanese copies...all spare copies if anyone is interested...PM me

Sing-a-long time

Let's kick in with the gruff and lo-down solid slab of Northern:

I believe we all acknowledge the JM Price guides as a fabulous reference point, well put together and the major influence on pricing. However, 2011 values have taken a tumble across the board (bar the top end true rarities) since the publication of the 5th guide. Therefore, in order to be a credible up to date guide, I firmly believe that the 6th edition prices need downward adjustment...probably as many as 75% of the titles? With regards to the 20% UK purchase tax...surely this phrase is only used by the full-time dealers when making their transactions...have you ever heard anyone else mentioning it at a event, "Yea, this is worth £300 in the JM guide, so take 20% off for the tax, so it's worth £240 - oh and it has a pen mark on the label so that's at least another 10% off, so it's actually worth, in accordance to the guide, about £210...call it £200, mate"? Possibly more importantly, this additional 20% isn't mentioned in the 5th guide at all! Would it not be more accurate to state the valuations not including the 20% extra, especially as these rates do not apply to every country...and Northern Soul collecting is a worldwide phenominum? An intro page in LARGE PRINT clearly stating that prices are made up from the database, reflect 100% mint condition and any taxes included, would be very useful when trying to explain to fellow collectors/delers that they shouldn't expect £300 for a vg disc with writing all over the label, just because it says £300 in the guide! Food for thought?
