Rushden Vic

interesting this is back in vogue , was popular as a new release in the highland room and at the time was readily available for a quid mind you that was 74/75 ish . another to look out for from that time that is still relatively cheap is third point - spirit - tide

both versions are great the tony owens was the first issue on 147 and philharmonics on 149 label owned by issac bolden

have to agree with john on this ive been offered £200 twice in the last month on my copy great double sider i can remember this being 15-20 quider but we can say that about 100s of records . all down to supply and demand .

hi bearsy ive got no problem with local soul nights there part and parcel of the scene ,the point i was making his that a lot of the 2nd rate djs think the world revolves around them and have no desire to travel to a venue that might be playing something new or different . and to be a dj i respect you dont have to have the big ticket items , there are so many good cheap tunes that a dj can put in his set just needs some thought and imagination . im looking at this as a collector and punter .

win youve missed the point its not aimed at any particiular area this is about my opinion of djs generally

in my opinion there are two categorys of dj on the 60s /70s northern scene the ones i respect are those who through knowledge , enthusiasm and love for the music , not only play original vinyl but are constantly varying their playlists to keep the scene fresh and moving forward , the ethos of the rare soul scene as always been to try and play different unknown and underplayed records . that doesnt mean that records that have been overplayed suddenly become poor records the likes of del-larks ,george blackwell ,ronnie mcnier etc which were big in the 70s i still consider as great records .but when i go out to an allnighter or soul night i want to hear something different , after 33 years on the scene i still have the same desire to hear records .that are new to me , thats what its all about surely. masquaraders c/u jean carter - iwanna know ,rita & tiarras - suprise , belitta woods - foolish girl , our love is dying etc etc northern soul with a passion. the 2nd catergory of dj usually only attend local venues, as little knowledge, is on some sort of ego trip ,sees nothing wrong in playing bootlegs, repros or cds .and they usually start promoting so they can dj at each others events and generally are trying to make financial gain

[q

think the confusion here is between the modern and rare60s fraternity , i to like my modern soul on cd, its easier to burn

huh huh huh

thought mike bolderson lived in ipswich hardly local great guy good records

your all wrong, the bestest r female - linda jones male - deon jackson

chris in my opinion what was a predominatley white working class collecting scene in the 70s and 80s has become a plaything for those with more money than sense to give a examples when i was buying collecting the rarer stuff in the early 80s i was taking home about £150 a week wages . but buying what were top rarieties at the time like lester tipton £100 don gardner £120 chuck holiday £35 jimmy gresham -teri de £40 and then by the late 80s having to pay 200 for the likes of yvonne vernee ,jimmy burns, ramona collins larry clinton etc etc . but my point is a top rare record was accessible to ordinary guys on average wages ,and everything i bought was because of my passion for the music and it was more about having the knowlege and contacts to aquire the records.now it seems just a case of sitting back and if your cheque books big enough you can have what you want with a few obvious exeptions. and as you say a lot of the big money collecters last a few years then disapear i could name plenty ,they must get bored after buying 30 -40 trophy pieces. i still have the same desire as i did 30 years ago for collecting but now dig deeper for the more obscure . ,

how about a straight swap jades -mode for vivian copeland - chaos there both 15 quid or they were in 85

looks like ive been lucky at $250 then , wouldnt have paid more, to be honest i rated it about £75 so ive paid way over the top as usual .

dave youll find now youve turned 50 , loss of memory and confusion will happen more often

secured a copy this morning $250

ted im hoping my taste in records is so bad someone will sell me this for a fiver ,

huh huh huh

huh huh huh

Had a few beers with mick at cleethorpes this year, and reminded him of the time when he was living in corby and sold me a joseph moore - marvlus for £8 .top man

hi pete first heard the pam baitey at john manships in the late 70s , assumed at the time it was a later remix and poor in comparason to the Tip release . think a realistic price on pamela beaty would be £300 , the pam baitey £100

these were always in soulbowl soulpacks in the late 70 s 100 records for !00 quid on yellow sahara label along with things like newsound - bet you never thought -scorpio reckon mr anderson had quantity on these

is that Del who used to be out with vicki? and elaine and hayley etc at the northampton dos me and sid clayton had many fun nights over there or is it a case of mistaken id
