Typical barnsly reply, Ron pedly allways told me of a place in barnsley nicknamed the n***** club, i never went but apparently it was so called because the miners used to go in after there shifts, he allways said that was a cracking night, allways tells me a story about this lass in there with skin tight trousers on n she was at the bar, so he said how on earth do you manage to get into those, once again typical barnsly reply, 3 DOUBLE VODKA`S COCK!!

Yes malc rung tony colby remember now going with ron pedley, allways a cracking night with that crowd some right laughs, maybe we should buy the place what do you think?

My memories a bit hazy on this one, anyone remember this do?

At last you took enough prompting were where you in the post office does it look out like this one kel

Youve done me there matey don`t know about that one

Seem to remember there being something like an italian copy was there? Don`t know what that looks like, if my memory serves me right the boots were yellow stuck on paper labels

Boot mate as john says was never issued in the states was there a foriegn release though don`t know?

Agreed on this post, but wasn`t wingering about ruby andrews, and never missed the boat, was just using those two records as an example, so really what were saying its a gamble really you pays your money you takes your chances

Theme from coloured man, remember buying that one n flipping it over when i got home

Don`t know this in the same bracket but THE INSPIRATIONS-YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND was on soul bowls front page for £6, look at it now

Strange no one mentioned these- bok to bach-double cooking-intrplay

Gotta be up early to catch me matey

Do you have any opinions on this chalky?

Me and my mate have this longstanding joke, DID ANYONE EVER EAT ONE OF THOSE PIE`S IN THOSE PIE WARMERS AT WIGAN ON THE END OF THE RECORD BAR & THAT ONE UPSTAIRS? seemed to be in the same position every week

Is this the same john bowie who is credited for writing SOUL STEP-THE DOGS-TREASURE?

Got my message glass back cheers matey, This topic has been a personal bug bear of mine for years now, remember years ago in york there was a store called BOSTOCK RECORDS in this store you coul buy soul packs, a regular in these ten for a pund packs was betty swann-kiss my love goodbye-atlantic it seemed one out of two packs contained at least one of these, then somebody plays it and gets a danceflor reaction next thing it`s £250+

Yeh saw that counts on here, a very good friend of mine who lives near us has one defo, just can`t understand how a really rare record can be priced

Theres also other examples of this with such records as the counts on shrine, think thats a one or two count isn`t, maybe fw is just priced at what the person is willing to pay, just thought if a record is as rare as these weve mentioned, then shouldn`t they all be priced within the same bracket? or is the massive gap due to popularity or "DEMAND surely the records snould be priced in guides according to there rarity

I was under the impression there was three frank wilson`s now, kenny`s, tims. and wasn`t there another found in a record store a few years ago? But as i`m saying the price difference between that and the inspirations is massive, at 3grand

Probably the most embarrasing moment of my life. At wigan in the record bar where i spent most of my time, was looking through a large box when i pulled out a record that i new the title of but didn`t know the artist of the lad who was looking over my shoulder gasped WOW! so i asked the lad how much? he was talking and just turned round and said "four mate" so i pulled out a fiver and offered it to him, to wich he replied "NO MATE FOUR HUNDRED" the dealer was JOHNATHAN WOODLIFFE, THE RECORD THE FRANK WILSON needless to say i quickly returned my money to my pocket and dissapeared out of the record bar totally embarrassed

Yeh good reply thought i might get one like that, it just makes you think how much "in demand" value is in records like FRANK WILSON etc, is it trully worth all those thousands of pounds or is there an " IN DEMAND" value in the price, what i`m getting at here is are records like THE INSPIRATIONS-NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE-BREAKTHROUGH, are not as in demand for dancefloors so is it valued accordingly, how many copies of that have turned up as against the FRANK WILSON track the price difference is massive

Increasingly on here i see comments like, the value of this has increased because of demand, or price will rise because of demand,Just a question, if we are buying copies of limited issued rare soul, how suddenly because a record is becoming dance floor active, should the price rise usually significantly ie BETTY SWANN-RUBY ANDREWS, if the record hounds are turning up more copies due to demand then shouldn`t the price drop? just a question thats all

Yeh i was thinking that malc, looks like an office new years party

Steve karmen-breakaway how longs that intro?

Is there any falling about wrecked auditions coming up, I`M UP FOR THAT
