Harry Crosby

I`m with ted on this one, ive allways considered it to be one of the rarest of the rare, have posted on look at your box as to clear these questions up CHEERS HARRY

put a sounclip of this in media section yesterday, and there seems to be some question as to the authenticity of this record, a couple of people are under the impression these were made from tapes? it has allways been my belief that this record was one of the rarest of the rare, and has stayed so since the late seventies, whats your view on this record

Seriously don`t think ive ever seen one for sale, toughie and stayed rare since the late seventies

boots are white & red,originals are blue with frankford/wayne stamp in run out

Cheers for that, the stuff legends are made from, was there, was gutted

You are not alone matey

Ive just read the sharp end of vinyl thread, according to that, the american small titled boot, was taken from this release, its a bit complicated or i`m not reading it properly, bri pinch`s contribution is intresting

Think a lot of us have gone through this, i was told by a record dealer in the early 80`s as he was buying my records, these are gonna turn up in boxes before long, still waiting!!!

WOW!!!!! never seen that before, nice one roger

Good question, i certainly havn`t anybody else, makes you wonder

Allways remember when JOHN DREVARS was massive they were all pink/silver mgm DEMO`S, then chris holmes showed me his ISSUE WOW

Wasn`t it 444 ady, might be wrong though

Really grapevine peaked? seen some right prices on them especially things like sam williams, as for the others yeh your right there mate

Fascinating reading tony, have noticed a steady rise in value of labels such as GRAPEVINE, DESTINY, INFERNO DISCO DEMAND tracks are these considered collectable british in there own right, after all some of these records are the best part of 30yrs old now

Intresting stuff pete, do you think the british northern soul market is still as popular as it was as ive said at one time it was very much so just never seem to see boxes of british stuff anymore in record bars, as you touched on earlier with lou johnson i myself struggled to get £50 for one only a year ago, where as you`d have thought the prices would have increased because of the limited market

Cheers roddy, my old matey CHRIS HOLMES from york has a fantastic british collection, just fascinating to hear other peoples views on the british collecting side of things. thanks again roddy

don`t know about now but i allways rememer my mate selling up because he couldn`t get a RUFUS LUMLY-STATESIDE DEMO many years ago, thik that was the one

So what would you call the HOLLY GRAIL of british collectable northern/soul music?

Had a few finds myself nothing serious though and as you say its finding the condition, that was allways the key factor with the british buyers as i suppose it is with both british & american now especially on the big price records, just at one time in the record bars you could allways hear the question coming over your shoulder as you were looking "GOT ANY BRITISH MATE" just wondered if the collecting scene for BRITISH RELEASES was still the same or has it dropped because of the obvious time scale of the scene now and limited amounts of british records

Hi phil just to let you know could only get honey & the bees to play

yeh understand that my mate has a copy of frankie & johnny on decca and the sound seems to be a lot louder than the hickory release, lovely looking record too

Shall i get me coat then?

Think i may have posted this in the wrong section, can it be moved to ALL ABOUT SOUL please

Wow great site that pete BOOKMARKED and registered will be having a good look at that one

Don`t know about the other two ian but ive certainly seen four copies of the twans on lists alone over the past couple of years
