    Yes I was going to carve some up at £20 a pop from timmion and sell them on for a small profit but why the fuck shouldn't I? It was my find and for all the donkey work I was going to do it's not unreasonable to want a little on top

    Amazing that you really don't see any wrong in that....no, you go on all your hard work, you deserve it....why should the artist and the production team get any recognition.....you really are the limit....mellow.gif

    Almost as hard to believe as the fact you'd rather sell your mates c/u carvers than direct them to CD Baby...unreal..

    Christ alive!! Learn something new everyday......had no idea you liked popcorn Ezzie laugh.gifthumbsup.gif

    Why start this thread Cliff?? The only reason i can think of is it's an attempt (failed btw) to make yourself look clever. You may not like this track and obviously you're free to say so but why do you feel the need to try and ridicule and belittle Russ at the same time? Surely your ego is big enough already that it doesn't need any further inflating....

    Hardly surprising that very little new blood enters the scene when all the treatment they get from people like yourself is contempt and lack of respect.

    Oh and it's CD only and a new release so why the dig about 'hot CD wallet'? How else are you meant to play it apart from carving it?

    For the record...I've heard you DJ several times and I've heard Russ DJ several times. Given a choice I'd listen and dance to an hour of Russ behind the decks every time. Of course thats probably because I always prefer to see somebody with obvious enthusiasm for the music playing stuff they love and have worked hard to find and also because I do like music I can dance to.

    Hi Adam,

    Firstly, I only know the track because Beeks claimed it as his cover up and then got all upset and had a hissy fit because a few found out what it was. I didn't know that anyone else was playing it, and how would I ?

    Secondly, and let's talk about respect....what kind of guy finds (or claims to, if Russ beat him to it) a CD track, covers it up, and then offers to sell carvers from it. I couldn't care less whether it's rock'n' roll or soul....it's just plain wrong.

    And finally, don't you think you're taking this all a bit too seriously....laugh.giflaugh.gif

    Don't suppose you want that CD I owe you now then......6.gif

    Merely expressing an opinion, not outlawed (yet!).

    I am surprised if Cliff is playing it. shades.gif

    .....and so you should be Steve.....laugh.gif....very glad to say this isn't in my hot box (or should I say hot CD wallet)..ph34r.gif

    flips a treat

    SPARTANS-FORGET HER NAME -

    anyone background info on these guys?

    Agree with you on the flip Mike..it's pretty special.

    I thought they might be the re-formed 50's group, but none of the Era credits match the 50's line-up. The Soul Harmony only lists Jimmy & The Spartans on Satellite, but no group line up credits...likely it's a different group.

    Me again,

    I know JM only has this valued at £100, I think it's a lot harder than that. Any views ? ATB Steve thumbsup.gif

    The going rate for a Spartans is around 300-350......it's definitely a tough record to find, ask John Anderson. I saw him pay 300+ for it a few years back at Essence, and I think he knows about rarity and value. The flip also makes it collectable by the group and deep soul guys.

    just heard this track and seem to remember info saying it was a 2002 release ??????? (may have made this bit up)

    its very good

    wondering if its available on a 7"

    and heres the killer, i cant remeber what its called or the label, but if it is 2002, surely there cant be many shades.gif

    oh anyone know where i can get one

    thanks, shep

    You'll need to narrow it down a bit Mark laugh.gif ..........plenty of great soul tunes from 2002..yes.gif

    Have you got an audio clip .... ?

    Another mixed bag of across the board soul, and more bargains to be bagged. Most of the 45s listed I'm selling for a mate, and so not an awful lot of room for price haggling, especially on the rarer items, though offers may be considered....

    Usual deal on condition grading - all graded as VG++ are in great condition, not the usual beaten up quality that VG++ usually gets you from eBay...

    PM to reserve or request sound files, information etc.

    can anyone give me the artist /artists . band / group and title of this song ... its a monster

    thankyou anders

    Any chance of an audio clue......whistling.gif

    Guess what, Tony's copy of this is a Jamaican issue which is a lower quality dub, Russ is in an ocean somewhere shipping water and we need a mintish copy for a dub as the master for this one never emerged. Can any of you help out please? You will be rewarded.

    Ady, if it's a copy of "No Fun Being Alone" you need. I can lend you mine. Drop me a PM with mailing details......thumbsup.gif

    We all know I am a nobody Beeks.

    All I said was there was no need to call Cliff a wanker.gif

    On a respect scale Joan, you're stratospheric.....and then there's the other end of the scale..you know, the one's that know f'all, but like to pretend they do and get very frustrated by it all....

    I always assumed that the price of a record was determined by its rarity...I now discover that it is a myth and more to do with demand and who is playing it at the time...

    ..............Breaking news ....."collector" wakes up to smell the coffee...........value determined by demand !!!...

    If you're going to call me extremely naive at least learn how to fucking spell it properly wanker.gif

    Don't know what dictionary you use, but maybe you should check. If you don't like naive, then maybe inexperienced, immature or green might suit your comment...........anyhow it's good to see that good, honest, intelligent debate still lives....

    I didn't call you extremely naive....just your comment.......if you're gonna post questions, expect answers...some of which you might not like.......taking things little too personally could be another sign of immaturity...shhh.gif

    There's no doubt that UK is, and always will be, the Northern Soul epicentre but I don't think anyone would argue that it has gone global over the past decade. So how do UK punters regard overseas scenes? On the same level - or with a condescending pat on the headwanker.gif ?

    The reason I raise this was a thread a few months ago where somebody had got a totally inaccurate impression of the Australian scene, thinking we were barely past prehistoric, shuffling around in flip-flops to the Theme from Joe 90 whilst chucking shrimps on the barbie. Bit of an over-exaggeration but this view was based on limited first hand knowledge and got quickly clarified.

    I'm biased of course but in my view the Aussie scene can now be defined as progressive and dare I say the truest (and biggest) Northern scene outside UKthumbup.gif . This is clearly due to the fact that the audience consists of 95% ex-pat Brits from "proper" stock.

    However this got me thinking that I'm probably just as guilty as the bloke who lambasted Oz NS in ignorance. For instance, my own snapshot view of other overseas scene is:-

    Italy: Sub 30 average age, hardly any 60s sounds, more of a fashion parade.

    Germany: R&B predominant, everybody shitfaced, no dancefloor etiquette.

    Spain: Proper NS and serious collectors (OK I have personal experience in Spain)

    France: Well there's nowt down South where I'm currently based (except the odd cheap EP!) but weekenders up North

    Scandinavia: Serious collectors but no gigs, its too far away

    Japan: Will try anything for a lark but unsustainable

    USA: Should be the top non-UK location but only a handful of serious punters

    I'm sure I'm completely wrong and have no intention of insulting anyone but you know what they say about perceptionsangry.gif .

    So my question is: do UK punters take any non-UK scenes seriously? Or is it just an opportunity to get a tan and lashed up with the benefit of good backing musictongue.gif ?

    Cheers

    Pete
