The scene certainly is at some point important to us all but i think for many the collecting continues when they leave the scene. i sold a record last week and the buyer said he hasnt been in a soul club for 10 years apart from one recent visit. maybe taste changes and the home lsitening soul is what will stand the test of time as a long term collectable as that doesnt need a scene. and there is so much info out there that a records rarity can truly be tested before big big spends take place. In the same way as with other collectables mentioned above. Prices may continue to rise on truly rare and great recorda as they will become very important and be treated like antiques. far removed from the underground youth scene they came from.

Thanks kev i was just going through some records and played this. It really stood out and i cant believe i havent play it much. flip is very strong as well. so about 200 quid in 7 or 8 years then

Those 75 quid late 90s records for me are things like enchanters, larry davis, kurt harris etc etc all seem to be well into the hundreds now. i was happy to pay 60 And sell for 80 to get something new and keep finding my way around the records.

Late 90s lonnie lester was in virtually every sales box i looked it. i was staggered that it could be 75 when everybody had one for sale. it should be 20 quid its not rare in the slightest and has been hammered.

Valuations on this please ? Sounds good to me what a voice. thanks

2 fantastic sides i dont recall this ever having huge plays i hardly recall hearing it out ? It doesnt appear to fall into classic oldie status. Maybe just not rare enough either......

Most people would be incredibly happy to get 80%. 66% final salary used to be typical. 66% career average is now more likely on any kind of defined contribution. most people though have had that kind of pension frozen by now and are just building up a pot in aome kind of investment which they can then draw down. So its not a guaranteed income until death. and any kind of state support keeps getting pushed back so you received it later and later than previous. thats quite general i've not gone into detail ao the exact % may differ due to not paying NI and less tax.

Some nice buy it now items finishing sat night https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=pushbuttonworld&_sop=1 another batch will go up when these finish.

what makes you think that

I dont have any theories to rising record prices. I cant see the logic. as a result i stopped buying. probably other factors played a part as well. 3 young kids being the main one. i dont see this younger generation with loads of disposable income all getting into northern soul. House prices are as high as they have ever been many people are not even getting on housing ladder until into there 30s or even worse when they get some inheritance. young people are having to pay more and more into pensions to get less out than previous generations. living costs in just about all aspects continue to rise. some lucky people are just not impacted in any way because they are from very wealth families or have a huge amount of personel wealth. They are not in the majority.

Havent you heard just as many people commenting and speculating to say the opposite though ? whats happening in society and record prices gong up are not related imo.

I dont know where you are getting any kind of evidence of these living condition facts ? I would disagree with pretty much all of them.

Have to agree it’s trashed. is somebody hoping they can get rid of some of that crackle ? a very expensive and unlikely gamble

When mick h used to run the union on the banks of the Trent there was some brilliant sets played. mick, rob thomas and one other who was also fantastic. was that andy rix ?

Brilliant record. I have seen a very small number on eBay over the years some were in pretty bad shape. just won’t move I think I may have seen even less copies.

Add me to the list of people who have thankfully never heard this before. I was late to the party though and hardly any instrumentals were being played. harlem rumble was a big record or was having a revival.

I have had some memorable tapes and cd’s that have helped me broaden my tastes and expose me to some fantastic new sounds. i probably hold these in higher regard than any Dj spot as i’ve been able to really get to know the tracks. the first time I heard little Stanley the stran in an all nighter was fantastic such a great nighter record. Kitch played it and it was a copy off eBay he had outbid me on.

Where was that Steve ? were a lot of those tracks being heard for the first time or had butch already got people familiar by putting them on tapes ?

Almost impossible to answer eddie parker on miko is one of the receords i wanted but never managed to get a copy. Probably that...

Richer than 10 years ago ? i am not sure about that I think the opposite on a personal level and as a nation.

650gbp at todays ER which seems very reasonable to me considering how good it is. i think plenty of collectors would happily match that price.

Maybe not as much now but in the past the uk had the vg++ grade which i never saw used by us sellers who stuck more with the goldmine grading system so as a result a uk vg+ was nothing like a us vg+ now its good and bad graders all over the place younger sellers may be more used to international standards and as a result vg++ is dying out ? and its must have NOT must of.... of isn't even the right word

Anybody for the nice detroit double sider.......
