I think there's a whole field of study called "economics" that would disagree with you. However, I agree with your general point that there's no simple rule in pricing records. Also, this argument comes up all the time, it's the next "OVO" thread.

if someone agreed they would be agreeing that the book sets the price on records

I agree with what you are saying. If you are going to spend top dollar on a 45, you probably should shop around first. The original post was about the difference between 100 pounds and 115 pounds though. Thanks.

i don't know what other people think but 1300 pounds for the cashmeres doesn't seem like a good deal

if only someone had posted a link to photos previously in the thread!

sorry, wasn't trying to dis you. you gotta admit there's a lot of in demand garbage out there.

Two releases that definitely exist: Radio City 1001 - The New Yorkers - You should have told me / There's going to be a wedding Radio City 1001 - The Royal Knights - You should have told me / There's going to be a wedding https://www.popsike.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-ROYAL-KNIGHTS-YOU-SHOULD-HAVE-TOLD-ME/200398500150.html https://www.popsike.com/Rare-Northern-Soul-45-THE-NEW-YORKERS-Radio-City-Rare-White-Promo/200734534631.html

one thing that I like to do when I don't know anything about a particular subject is google it and see if there is some sort of overview somewhere. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_soul

While the original question is a valid question, part of the issue is that people see "northern soul" and then dollar signs get in their eyes and they hear that "cha-ching" noise and they think "how can I sell 'northern soul'?" If someone signs up to the site to try to find if they have a valuable record and then asks the question, it comes across that way to me. Sorry elvisluvs if I got your motivation wrong, but that's too often people's motivation. I don't think there's some country message board where people are singing up all the time asking "what is western swing?"

I'm not old but I am grumpy. However, I am specifically tired of people ripping me off on ebay with the keyword.

The 1977 press with different vox isn't a bootleg btw

what about records that sell for $10 and $100 on ebay in the same day? an average of ebay around a specific point in time excluding outliers is closer to a true value though.

the other side "we all make mistakes sometimes" is great sweet soul. This group became BT Express. There is another version of the track by Richard Thompson on Columbia, who was also a member of BT Express.

It takes enough time to find records on ebay. Pointing out that some dealer had it for cheaper presupposes that the buyer is going to spend time shopping around the entire internet (and private lists) for the best deals for every single record. That is very tedious and time consuming.

this doesn't say much though

it''s a keyword that ahole sellers put on their ebay items that allows them to rip me off by listing country records and hard rock records in the soul category.

In Chicago there are multiple nights, the main northern one is the "windy city soul club" and the club reaches capacity very quickly leaving a line at the door. There are other soul nights, a boogie night, reggae / ska, rockabilly (I know that wasn't part of the question), etc. I think most of the people who go to the events are just excited to hear good music and are not familiar with the "canon" of the genre, which allows DJs to more freely play their own style of set.

what kind of stories? I know very little about the Orlons actually.

the guy at the bottom is Steve Caldwell. You're welcome.

i can look in copyright if you have a title, idea of year, and it's an odd enough title. Any other markings on the acetate (e.g. writer, publisher, etc.). BMI probably won't have it online.

I know sometimes people don't remember or say names right also but the photo they sent me had the names written on the back (you can see the bleedthrough).

I never recorded an mp3 but it's online on my radio show on the 6/20/2010 show if you just want to hear it. The record ended up having a tiny edge crack when i got it and i *hate* cracks but I figured it would be a long time before I saw another copy and I could resell it if I ever upgraded. Can you PM me how much the dude wanted for the Janion copy? What does the deadwax look like?

also, the comments under my video give the names of the other two gaslight members

Also, butch and the newports and the gaslight are the same group. I have footage of the gaslight on the TV show Ebony Affair on my youtube page:
