Wigans Chosen Few- Footsee
Did you get it with the Rose design sleeve? It was one of those generated as a result of the scene, not the other way round, by someone, presumably, trying to cash in. For a lot of us, barely educated at that time, it was remarkably popular. Nowadays - Oh God ! It's still better than some of the shite that got released though.

Walter Jackson - (Artist Of The Week)
Could go on for ever. One of the finest vocalists there's ever been. Passed away far too soon. How about "That's What Mama Say" & "They Don't Give Medals...":

Yorkshire Ider Club Halifax
Defo a great venue, and such a shame that support hasn't been better. Was delighted to be asked to play there last year. Good luck with the new format Gibby. ATB John

Comedy Sale Of The Day
That's crazy, you can get the proper LP for not too much more than that, and that's packed with superb tunes as well - one of the best albums you'll ever buy IMO. John

Morocco Music Makers - Pig Knuckles (Motown)
I reckon it should be about £100 or slightly more for a decent copy. I'm no expert though, so if anyone wants to suggest differently, then fine by me.

Price Of Records On Here
You're dead right Pete, but isn't it the case though that, throughout the existence of Northern Soul, a great many sellers have asked for, and got, sums that are well over the top? I think that applies whether on SS or anywhere else. Why are only about 10% of records on Ebay put up for auction? Could it be that most are listed as Buy-It-Now because they would never realise the same price if auctioned? Then, I wonder how many BINs actually sell anyway. Discuss....

Please Say It Isn't So!?
Good point, well made. I love Brid myself, but I was thinking more about the regular local events. Some are excellent, whilst others, to me at least, are dire. Each to their own, of course, but if you are looking to avoid some of the incidents mentioned in this thread, there are venues out there where it would never happen. Please don't give up on the soul scene because of a few who just don't seem to quite get it.
-
Please Say It Isn't So!?
Seek out the small clubs, run by real soul fans (at a loss usually), with relatively small attendances. That's the true soul scene, and it's brilliant.
-
Please Say It Isn't So!?
I once had a right jerk having a pop at me for playing The Vibrations - End Up Crying because he didn't know it. I wasn't 'keeping the faith', whatever that means. This same pillock was later hokey-kokeying to No-One There. If that doesn't sum up what's wrong, nothing does.
-
Please Say It Isn't So!?
Have you not been to Soul In The Sun and watched the 'No-one There' performance? That's one of the reasons we stopped going. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't get it. It's handbagging taken to the extreme in my view.

I understand your point. We'll see if it gets relisted. Anyway, time to go and listen to a few tunes, and sup a couple. Thanks to all for the comments. ATB John

Edwin Starr - Agent Double-O Soul On Ebay
Oh definitely. This one may be a bit extreme, but there are plenty of gullible individuals about. There was a piece on here recently about a couple of Stardusts making serious money. Is it just a battle between common sense and that overpowering must-have mentality, and a seller keen to try and exploit it?

Am I missing something here, especially the bit about one going on Ebay for $330? https://www.ebay.co.u...=item5646f7104d My copy cost me about £15 not too long ago. Anyone got any ideas?

Pure, and very sad, coincidence, I actually pulled this out on Tuesday to play at the next Darnall Horti. Haven't played it or heard it for years. Might add the Little Star gem as a contrast now. Pure magic.
