Interesting comparison and something that must happen quite a lot either over versions or a particular artist’s output. I only ever had the Janice version myself and probably did see it available less often. Jeanette by wade flemmons is a common record that is expensive and two of a kind is better rarer and a good bit cheaper.

See if it’s better managed compared to last time.

Just seen a post from John on instagram the half price sale is on again. Didn’t see a post here so just a gentle heads up for those not on instagram.

Essex iv seems reasonable

The Johnny Copeland side is very good.

Do you have instagram account to show all these images. Lots of people go down that route could be good ?

You visit a lot of places and meet a lot of people buying and selling it’s certainly quite a time consuming hobby when you are fully engrossed in it. And these journeys mean you hear stories and get exposure to so many records along the way. If some records get sold you still have all that. For me I came late to the soul scene so bargains were increasingly hard to find. If I’d started sooner and paid a lot less I think not selling would have been easier for some records. Having a lot of money in certain records made the decision harder to keep everything.

All good here iphone13

Appointments on dart is very good I nearly got one on here for 350 maybe 20 years ago ? I’m surprised it got that high somebody wanted it.

Fantastic record. There are 2 versions of the flip side with and without female backing vocals. Which version is on this acetate ?

That’s the second billy nitro John has auctioned recently both have gone cheap. I always thought the uptempo side had plenty of potential. Thanks for this Mike I couldn’t enlarge original posting either.

Looking forward to the new season of the bear

I always assumed headhunter was a Chelsea reference from a collector who did own the records as he has added a few comments and stories about where and when he got some titles. Don’t think brico has the records might have some but I doubt all.

My mindset changed when I starting selling more than buying to the point I didn’t really feel the buzz of looking for new things to buy. I still enjoy hearing new music and still listen to a lot of soul music.

Totally agree about it being a hard and prolonged process. I had a modest collection and it takes a lot of time and effort.

the money you achieve will be more useful to your children than the records if they don’t know the values or dont have the inclination to put time and effort into finding out before they were to sell. So as something to pass down money may be better as you will know quickly what’s worth a lot and what isn’t. I sold quite a lot of expensive records but kept a collection of cheaper records that I really like or haven’t got the time or energy to sell for little return. When I was most active it was constant buying and selling but as I’ve drifted away from the scene I’m happy just to listen via internet and can’t see a scenario where I would spend a huge % of my disposable income on 45s. A lot of older guys will be sat on great collections pondering this right now…. I’d sell rare or in demand bits one by one then probably stop when the effort to reward dropped off

I’m sure if you find a sound file plenty of people will know it

How many of those pressings were from things he discovered ? You could forgive him to a certain degree if that was the case…

Garage shouldn’t be anywhere near a soul club IMO. Blue eyed soul is absolutely fine.

It’s had modern reissues so not that obscure really. I imagine it’s available digitally as well. It’s pleasant enough but doesn’t get me too excited.

The other Oliver joy on big deal stays under the radar for such a great ballad suitable to a little shuffle on the dance floor. Great record. Webs another great record that was easy to pick up cheap but not the case anymore.

I guess it’s you move me ? A good record but that’s a crazy price and sums up why collecting now is not the fun it used to be. It was really common and an easy pick up. I think a search on here may reveal me selling a copy predicting it may go up in value…. I’ve only seen white label copies so assume they are all demos ?

Jeff Lemlich documented the Florida scene in a book also containing details of Florida soul music.

I went to YouTube to see if there was another version 😂

Japanese only release.
