We have no release date for Hemisphere, but it's a pretty good guess that Hemisphere was first and I agreed with you, but it's not proven. Although look how it turned out with Frankie Beverly on Fairmount, most people thought Rouser was the first label, but it turned out that Fairmount was first!!🤔

I agree, and Sound Of Soul productions was based in Richmond, Virginia which matches the address on the Hemisphere label.

Some great records mentioned, I can't see what's wrong with a chart that has "To Win Your Heart" by Laura Lee in it. I have known it for 50 years, but it's still a great record! Same goes for others like Candi Staton and Sandi Sheldon, Willie Tee, etc. The article briefly sums things up, without going too deep but I wouldn't necessarily call them overlooked classics.

It's not what I thought.

Very rare record on UK HMV, but the price varies a lot depending on condition. £250 to £500 for a Ex to Mint copy. Centre knocked out for example, can more than half the price!

It was very big at the Casino in Wigan around 1978. Great record.

"A Little On The Blue Side" - The Spellbinders - Columbia. Condition is Ex. Has some label bubbling. Plays great. £40 plus £3.50 tracked post. Great track that's picking up in popularity, the more that hear it.

Well as we know it's a rare record on Toxsan, so if you are wanting to sell you could get the price you paid. The prices I quoted are what I would pay, but it all depends on what a buyer wants pay. Personally I would want a clean looking copy.

Well you asked for an opinion on the price. It's not my fault you don't like it. As for the label I can't see the point of paying for a collectors record that doesn't look good. I mean you can play it all day long on youtube. And if you only want to play it and not bothered how it looks, a Brunswick copy would do.

About a £100 to £150 with all that scribbled out label damage and one of those impossible to remove "Mr Chips" stickers. A mint copy £250 to £300.

"Too Hot To Hold" - Major Lance - Okeh demo original. Ex has two very faint stars on label. £35 plus 3.50 post. "Nothing Worse Than Being Alone" - The Ad-Libs - Share original 45. Ex. £20 plus postage. "Love Won't Wait" - Bobby Caldwell - Epic. Rare New Zealand copy. M- but has a very slight storage lift. Plays great. £10 plus £2.10 post.

Original first issue of this Northern Soul classic. 45rpm USA. Condition is a immaculate Mint- top condition. £150 includes insured postage.

It's good and great for the Northern Soul dancefloor. I've always thought there's a similarity in the backing track that reminds me of the Magictones "It's Better To Love".

Original copies are very rare, so if selling, you could name your price and probably get it. But there are a lot of lookalike copies about. It was repressed for the Northern scene in recent years, at least twice that I know of.

It is not a rare record. There are lots of copies. But it has been getting a higher price these days, so I suppose this auction price is good by that comparison.

The funny thing was when I got to the services, I never wanted anything to eat after the allnighters😉

A Northern Soul classic from the very beginnings of the scene. Original first issue USA 45. Condition is Mint- £25 plus postage.

Classic Northern Soul original first issue in great Mint- condition. £150 plus £9 fully insured postage.

Original Holton USA 45 promo. Condition is Mint- £40 plus postage.

Bought my copy at Dave Withers Manchester indoor market stall, roundabout 1985. It was 30p. Also bought 4 copies of The Newsounds on Mod Art for 30p each, on the same day. These records weren't in fashion at that time.

So how is ebay going to make up the money lost through this move?

"Don't Be A Cry Baby/ Walking The Floor Over You" Two great sides. Record in Ex condition. Looks and plays great. £25 plus £3.50 postage.

"You're With Me All The Way" The Charades Mercury Promo 45 rpm Original USA 45rpm. £30 plus £3.50 post. Condition is Excellent. Great moody 60's Soul!

Does this mean ebay will not take a commission when I sell something? I get what the item sells for?

This only happens because of bad management and incompetent supervision by managers! I'm sorry to read about your Mother-in- laws hospital experience. Sounds like my stay in hospital
