What i can’t get my head round is how the price is consistently hitting the highest it has ever been when it’s obvious there are loads about? £1.2-1.5 with rumour one also recently sold for £2.2k!!! What’s going on there??

Hi all,

Anyone know if the rumours of a Guitar Ray find are true? Seems to be one - two for sale in top condition a week now across ebay, diacogs and the main dealer sites. My understanding was it was never that rare a record but has a stash been found Stateside?

Amazingly it seems to be rising in price!

Thanks

If the whole thing was about traversing the sub cultures then someone would of done a northern float whether it was people from the scene or not.

I assume they left punk and skinhead out…

I’ve edited this post as I’ve just been informed that apparently taking the piss out of this clearly ludicrous situation is tantamount to condoning it?! If anyone on here feels like that then feel free to contact me to discuss your grievance.

Superb 70’s currently on Manship’s auction.

Nice copy here, EX on the dance side and VG+ on the great sweet side.

Can send scans and full sound files if required.

£275

Thanks!

It certainly looks like a a schwarze sonne which is very unfortunate. 
I’m surprised no-one noticed a well known neo nazi symbol but I hope and expect it was an honest mistake.
 

 

To be fair i had never seen or heard of that symbol before but you wonder why no one asked what it was.

I've got a copy of "Third finger far-right hand" if you're interested

Reich on!

F*cks sake

Norma & The Heartaches / "Nice & Slow" cw "Harlem At Sundown"  / Joyride VG+

Great and rare crossover soul, both sides play great with a few light marks. Conservatively graded. £450 SOLD

Full sound files of both sides available on request.

Perry Floyd / "Searchin' & Looking" / Tri-Spin  visual VG but plays really well on both sides.  £300

Very rare NY soul - maybe the first Tri-Spin release? Main side is the same track that appeared on other Tri Spin releases but this has the benefit of great backing vocals.

YT link is the copy for sale. Sound file available of the flip 'The Bells Of My Heart" on request.  

Thanks for looking.

Fabulous Soul Vibrations "I Can't Stop Watching You" VG++ / "Bicentennial '76" VG+ (few pops on the intro on this side but music clearly overpowers)

Very rare and hardly known 1976 sweet with a beat here from Mississippi. Flip is a storming funk dancer.

Only a few copies out there and all the ones i've seen are between g and vg condition. No discogs sales.

They also seem to all stem from the same source from the town the record was recorded in, included the noisy half clip on YT. This is the cleanest one i am aware of and came via the producer, his only copy.

In the hands of a very few select collectors in Europe and the US.

Offers over £1k please, will run until Monday 6pm. Thanks for your interest.

YT sound file and scans taken from the copy for sale:

After this by either Charles Farren on Hawk or Roy Wright on Vick. VG+ upward please thanks!

Beautiful rare uptempo group crossover indemander in great condition, on the playlists of top DJs such as Pete Shirley, Steve Green and Darren Sykes. Great silky harmonies and a classic sweet soul track on the flip.

EX, sweet side VG+ conservative grading

£500

Not 45 for sale:

Pics and sound files on request.

Thanks!

Wanted Vg+ upward please. Thanks!

Macon and Broomall ate 800 miles apart, one could have travelled but instinct says unrelated.  They don’t look Australian looking at their photo if that is them?

I’ve known the Daniel Madison for years since Andy Dyson got it.  Infact the only two in the flesh are via Andy, he sold one to Tim.

Was offered a copy by Michael R a few years back, sadly didn’t have the funds at the time. Got snapped up pretty quick, i think this is an epic 45.

Tim,

Pretty much sums it up. I like to think I am pretty open minded to most genre's of the soul persuasion and reflect that in the records I buy. Having said that I am still a sucker for a good old Femme Northern albeit Mid tempo or uptempo and Philly just makes it even better.

People move on in their taste's for various reasons but some choose to forget or dismiss records like this as something to be left in the past. We have spoke about this recently in a little depth and I have held back on posting anything about recent finds just due to the fact that because of the nature of the track it would fall on deaf ears. That's Ok and if no one ever heard it it would still mean a lot to me as I am still a real sucker for a sound that I grew up on. 

The record in question here is a good record with a solid pedigree in my opinion. As far a price is concerned I think it's pretty irrelevant giving that most things are going for prices that don't make a lot of sense sometimes.

The crazy world of Northern Soul LOL....

Would agree with Chalky above - I love records like this and certainly am not saying i don’t like a whole section of soul music because of not being keen on the vocal  performance of one record… i’d be quite happy to hear lots more female records in this vein at any night. Totally agree as mentioned above - that stuff like the del larks (and let’s be honest plenty of rare northern records, male or female) have poorly performed elements… but many make up for it with sheer force of will and brilliance elsewhere. 

I’m not sure i’ve heard either version played at a venue (that i can remember) so would like to hear it out out of interest, as perhaps it takes on a different vibe as many records do.

Try the Stella & Gazelles version for a "cleaner" vocal treatment on the very same backing track for a tiny fraction of that auction price...

Wasn’t aware of this version - just had a listen. Much prefer how they handle that same section of the song after the intro 👍
