Dylan

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.......

Outer dims are 9" x 9.5" x 9.5" not including handle

A very well built small record box ideal for selling, DJ'ing with a small selection, or simply storing records. rugged construction all reinforced corners, leather handle, clasp that takes a small lock, sponge padded inner. has been well used so doesnt look new but it is bullet proof and i had it custom built so you are unlikely to find a box this good of this size in any shop. Holds appx 60 records stored in a paper then card sleeve. i am in nottingham ideally this is for collection but could meet somewhere close to notts. looking for 60gbp

Vinyl is ex plays great small wol see images 35gbp inc recorded del

Some water damage to labels see images vinyl is ex and record plays great. flip side is fantastic deep soul great double sider growing in demand. 120 inc recorded del add 5gbp if you want special del. cheers

Nice records karl freddie waters was in the hytones i dont know if its them but it could be ? Eitherr way its a killer record.

I dont think you could listen to just northern for 50 years. i know i couldnt.

Yes that is true. and if anybody were to attempt to make a boot they would also need this info.

The buyer mentions stafford all nighers in a conversation with john so i'm sure he will have some friends on here.

Yes.

Yes i know thats an original i'd have to have been on another planet to not know the story of that 45. i'm saying all the factors that are being checked could be reproduced on a counterfeit. it probably is the early steps to recording more useful data on rare original records and is a good thing but i dont think its definitive and needs to evolve. But its a good start.

Yes i can relate to that. The dreadful records that always get mentioned when somebody hears you are into northern.

I would happily spend an evening in a club playing music of that pace as long it’s it’s quality soul

Was romark considered to slow when it was discovered or was it an instant hit on the scene ?

Fantastic cd’s and some great sleevenotes as well.

In heindsight it was a great time on the scene.

I didn't go I wonder on how these 45s gain popularity and think mine may have played a small part... it went to ben summers at rugby one night. It was after this I noticed it start to gain a lot of attention.

I was wasting time on google last night and one search took me to a film featuring bruce willis from 2012 that featured a brilliant deep soul track "pwwerful love" by chuck and mac. for a bruce willis big film to feature such an obscure classic is quite impressive. No link to any particular individual but just an example of when a true underground classic breaks into mainstream media.

mid to late 90s I had a tape with both sides of that 45 and it took me a while to find a copy then quite quickly a found a 2nd. its a great 45. Both long gone now. It shot up in price a few years after my copies had both gone, typical.
