I have loads of Mirwood on vinyl, look for a tiny "h" symbol.

Had this on "repeat" on the car coming back from Brussels this week....

£3.66 EX++, plays perfect, like new

I've had a couple of rarities Sheppards - Stubborn heart & Servicemen - Sweet Magic, both had pressure cracks, they played OK, I sold them on, so what ?

Do what Gene says, see what seller says if he wont play ball enter a "item not as described" Ebay will take your side.

Dutch Chile Japan Don't Know Lebanon

Jamaican bootlegs. Canadian

Any difference in the releases on white/red and silver/red ones ? I have it on silver/red thought it was a later release (don't know why though)

Canada Portugal Jamaica Dutch France

Goldmine do/did a series based on famous clubs, Mecca, Torch, Wheel etc, well worth hunting down. You can pick them up on Ebay, new at about £3 - 4.00 each.

There's the album on Ebay right now for £2.00. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-CONTOURS-BABY-HIT-RUN-1970S-MFP-50054-EX-/360810072397?pt=UK_Records&hash=item5401f4c94d

Didn't Tony Rounce have one yonks ago ?

All Belgian have "SABAM" on them.

Here's a couple of dandy release, sorry the scans are so poor. Israeli Motown Brazilian Motown The rumour (pardon the pun) that went the rounds way back then was that "Tell me it is just a rumour" was on Israeli Motown, we now all know it was actually Dutch.

Sounds about right Pete, just bought a Monument copy for pal over here. Tough trying to find a US copy, they don't come up that often.

This is a big Belgian Popcorn tune, gets played a lot here, does it get spins in the UK ?

Perhaps you could suggest a few "right" venues then ? The future of the NS will be dictated by the current one so it's relevant alright.

Been to lots of "Euro" events (I live there) not a lot of dancing and atmosphere. It is however their absolute right to do what they want and play what they want. Talking to one "Euro" DJ who has an eye watering collection, never been to a soul venue up North in his life, never got past the 100 club. It is of course personal taste and it would wrong to come on this forum and tell people they are farts, chin-strokers, etc. oldies venues are still very popular, let's not criticise that, if that's what they want, then why not ?

I guess it's what defines a successful portion of the soul scene. 750+ people at Stoke listening to classics and all the biggies or about 30 people in Italy listening to some very rare stuff but not really dancing. You pays your money and takes your choice.

Try and sit still...........................

With the amount of people listing records as "Soul", "R & B" "Northern Soul" when you try and filter you still end up with about 3 - 4000 records to trawl through. A lot of people rank them "Highest First" and that means your 99pence records are way, way down anyones search list. Consider putting one or two hgher priced records for sale together with a message to potential buyers to view your other items. All the data shows that more expensive records are getting even more expensive, my experience has been I've been able to sell at 25 - 30% more than what I paid (recent purchases) a record I bought on Ebay for £140.00 , I sold for over £300, one I bought for £100.00 sold for £150.00 and another I bought for £245.00 sold for £355.00. All indications point to there are less buyers out there more interested in the bigger records. Anyway good luck.

I would have thought Muscle Shoals would have suited him.

I have now shipped some 70+ records using these carton mailers. They are very marginal, I decided only to ship vinyl records, no styrene. If you put too much carton stiffeners in the sleeve it becomes very difficult to get the record out afterwards. I haven't had any complaints from customers so I'm assuming they've arrived all OK. I did make my own stiffeners from carboard I got from the local supermarket, it was a bit trial and error. I have bought records from UK sellers who also use mailers, they've tended to be larger in size making it easier to increase the stiffeners so once this lot used up I'll trawl around to see what I can find.

I saw her once on US tv, about 20 years ago, my word what a peach
