The scene has always had people who just buy records to sell and make money. Then there's collectors who just love the music and the collecting the great records. It's a shame that the people who love the music and collect the records, have to end up paying for it all! The speculators and dealers don't care, and have an interest in putting up the prices. Getting as much as possible for a record. I am not complaining as thats the capitalist economy working through market forces. But grass roots collectors like me, end up paying for it all!

There is two different labels designs for the original. One with a black label with silver writing. The other a black label with smaller silver writing and the label logo in blue. I think this was when Warren changed the label design to the blue logo. I still think it's a fabulous record and classic Northern Soul, since I first heard it in Wigan Casino!

Sunny and the Sunliners was a £10 to £15 record for years. It was one of those popular tape swopping sounds!

After reading all of the above posts and evidence about this, i would think you are right about the dates of release. Wear My Ring sounds 63/64 where as "I've Been taken For A Ride" sounds later about 1967. It looks to me after looking at the evidence that The Saints came out first on Stardom then Kent in 1967. Bobby St James came out a year later in 1968 on a yellow labelled Watts. And then when they reissued "Wear My Ring" on a black labelled Watts, they backed it with the Bobby St James track, but credited it to the Uptones, to fill the B side! Thats how it looks to me, but untill there is evidence to date the black labelled Watts, it's not certain.

I remember the days in Wigan Casino record back bar. You would be going through a sales box with about 20 records to go to the back of the box, when an arm would come over your shoulder and grab them before you had a chance to look at them! I saw this happen many times to young collectors. I think it was maybe a bit of fun or to give people a little bit of a working!😁😬😁.

Does anyone know if the mail delivery is getting any better from the USA?

I agree. The UK Ebay record section is so boring!! The same overpriced records that stay on week after week, month after month. Hardly any of them sell, because a lot of them are poor condition, and very much over priced. It's about time Ebay had a rethink to sort this out.

Looking for this L.P. to complete the set. Must be EX+ at least. Can you send some pictures? No silly prices please! Thanks for looking.

The flip side called "Reputation" is excellent. It's a nice record with a little story to tell!

J. J Barnes - Our Love Is In The Pocket - Revilot £533. Fantastic record, but it seems a lot of money for the pink one! Over twice as much as I have ever seen it go for. How much for the Multi-coloured one? The pink one has always been about half to two thirds the price, of the more desirable multi coloured label!

The flip side is great as well. The Bob & Fred sounding "Let Her Go"!

Sandi Hollis is a double sided goodie! I think "Table's Will Turn" is brilliant Detroit mid-tempo!
