Dylan

would like to hear the flip if anybody has a clip.

try explaining that to somebody who isn't involved with the soul scene.

this is a funny one as if the one record you are selling the person is going to make or break their weekend DJ spot

I don't agree with this completely but I understand the sentiment. but records that look bad i.e vg visually can play very well. it depends how much the grading is on the visual conditiion of the record compared to how it sounds. the opposite of this is also true records that look great Ex can sound realy bad.

the flip is also very good.

i've got a version of sugarman by somebody else (buddy grubbs I think ?) it might be the same song ? I bought that record for the other side and never realy found much in sugerman when i've given it the odd spin. my best blind buy has to be marcus daniel on plaza after already knowing his monkey town release I took a punt on it and it was a fantastic double sider. I've since read it was a fame recording.

I agree if you been easily able to pick up a record for a certain price and now its a lot more its hard to part with the money. its all relative to when you got to know the record I guess. things like enchaters on faro were 40 or 50 quid when I got mine then it went up a bit so I sold it. Now its 150 or even over 200 ?? i'm more interested in looking for odd ball and lesser known stuff now and rarely get excited about things that already command a premium through being well known. the one I sold that does occasionally niggle me is buddy cantrell on tuska.

i'm sure if I went on youtube or other sites i'd find most of the sam bakers i've just bought but there is something about putting the needle down on a record not knowing what its going to be like. saying that I hardly ever do and it never do it when a lot of money is involved.

at least who ever buys it will end up with a top draw record that is a total classic and one of the best oldies there is.

i've just bought 5 sam baker records on sound plus and aound stage blind for a couple of euros each. none are rare or expensive records and all well known but quite a few titles i'vew not heard yet so i'm hoping to have a few pleasent suprises.

its even been on a Tim Brown millionaires CD so its not as if most people won't know how good it is as well ? would the fact its been on a big selling CD put some people off spending this sort of cash ?

yes I am sure you will do well. the soul scene is full of old farts whose kids are probably not at school anymore so they don't have to pay through the nose for expensive summer holidays in august

august is probably even tougher than june IMO thats when most go away for summer holiday. School holidays etc etc. anyway sorry to hear this i'm sure the next one will be as good as ever and well attended after the extended break.

a good list as always.

not too surpising its gone to Japan. I missed the boat on this record.

yes I need to get to one of these nights the playlists always look right up my street.

great record.

thanks, I should have checked sirshambling before asking the question...

currently listening to his kent CD in the car great soul music. also very intertested to hear the flip of this as gareth has already requested................

bargain no wonder they went quick.

its suprising how few people know about this. When I mention it to casual ebay users none of them are aware you can do this. in a similar way paypal gift was a hardly ever mentioned openly or widely known about. Now its everywhere and always mentioned.

Jason Perlmutter put me onto this tune when he put it on a CD for me. Top man So many tracks off that CD went on to have high demand in the years to come. Right up there in the top CDs i've received off anybody.

this is a realy good way of finding things out i've done it a few times since you first mentioned it on here. did you just stumble on this by accident one day ? I think ebay will stop it being possible to do this soon.
