Dear Anybody,
I am a newbie, here and am i hoping "all about the soul" is the correct venue for my question!
I was one of the original Rare Groove collectors a long long time ago ie Dingwalls in Camden Lock/Shake and fingerpop et al, had a moderately valuable collection mainly of 7" including Phil Flowers, Flowers (both) and Alex Brown amongst many many others - did love a few Northern bits too.
I sold these throughout the years for buying a car then a house then mortgage, children etc etc. Compared to todays prices (i see) for almost nothing
Anyway, enough waffling, my question being: Do people feel in general that reissues (legit of course) either increase, decrease or have no/little effect on the value of Originals? - I am talking about the rarer stuff here really, ie say records valued from £200-£2,000.
It doesn't affect me really at the moment , but may do if i start collecting again. My tastes are very eclectic now, more into the X Over/modern soul and a bit more Northern than i used to. My current favourites (soul wise) being The Exits on Taurus - both sides and again, both sides on the JP Robinson Blue Candle 7 - all four tracks are pretty new to my ears and of course "re-issues". But i also like ABBA and Dolly Parton too especially Jolene AMAZING song!
Thankyou :)
