Rich Ward / My Baby, She's Gone / Hit Very rare NY bluesy funk 45 from 1973, still not widely known. Only selling due to nasty bill that has arrived through the door. VG++ £450 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOr5HYRfRjo

One of the greatest 45s ever imvho - RIP Deon, only same age as my dad, too young.

Kev> You're right, and some are doing that it seems which is great. Certainly we're lucky down in here in London to have the younger people into it doing exactly that, same in Manchester etc. But that is a case of where they are through the playlists creating their own part of the scene. I guess it depends on where you are aiming to DJ and to whom perhaps?

I agree Pete, but I suppose i'm just trying to say I can understand the frustration of being into something and wanting to be part of it but having a huge monetary hurdle to go up against. It just seems like a catch 22 for younger people getting into it - sort of takes the fun out of something that is supposed to be fun.

Kev> I'm not saying they should play boots on the current scene, i'm saying they should start again and do it in their own way. How do you suggest they go about DJing on the scene as it stands currently in terms of records? I'm not saying I have the answers but f*ck knows how you get these records if your're young and don't have huge funds available to you (and fair enough Pete maybe they aren't all skint but it's still an outrageous cost these days) ? How do you get booked if people are saying you have to have the records to mix it up with the established DJs?

So you think there is enough 20 year olds out there into northern soul who can afford to spend that money on records regularly in order to jock on the UK soul scene? Maybe you're right.

Who's to say all of them are?

Bang on. But the thing about the money is so true - it's a ridiculous hurdle. It's back breaking even for those who can (sort of) afford it. What 20 year old is going to be able to spend £300 - £400 regularly on records, and the daft £1-2k prices for popular stuff? The record price thing shuts them out of the ovo scene which in turn shuts them out of being 'taken seriously'. Essentially it's a catch 22. The big oldies are millionaires prices, the new stuff is automatically expensive because everyone is so desp to have it first, be it funk, r&b whatever. And the old argument 'there's tons of great records for £20' doesn't wash because, yes there are - but no one wants to book you on the back of them or hear them in a club setting seemingly, at least on the current UK soul / northern / r&b scene. The young guys that are able to have these collections can only be doing it in one of two ways - they are rich (be it genuinely or on the back of credit card spendage) or they have expert digging skills, shit loads of time on their hands and a fair bit of luck. That will always be a minority, not enough to keep a scene going. It's very easy to point out where the kids are going wrong when you're holding all the zillion quid 45s at home. Best thing for the guys to do (as mentioned) is start afresh with their own version of it all and not worry about us lot. And genuinely good luck to them all.

What an epic record. His best for me.

Wasn't the funk flipped being spun by George and a few others?? Maybe something to do with it? Crow was hammered in all three rooms at Prestatyn, and has been getting spun across the board for ages now so doesn't surprise me it's gone to £1k.

retch! A lookalike reissue! hurl!

Remember someone covering up an r&b record as Fray Bentos & The Pies.

Try Butch, he had one last time I looked in his sales about a month or so ago.

Right understand now and totally agree on number of pages.

Be very surprised if you don't move this mate - been a major club record for a while as far as I was aware

Don't think this will affect Jim's sale in anyway mate - loads after it, very popular 45 in plenty of venues!

No me neither although I can see the appeal to a dancefloor, so not surprised it's a popular 45. I've only heard it once out and I would say it sounded much better in a big room environment. Did he do anything else and is there anything else on the label?

Just out of interest Gordon - would you prefer to hear a record of lesser quality played out over one of higher musical merit, provided it had the right beat to it? That's not a leading question btw, I'm just curious.
