Jimmy raye Philly dog was the record that got me into northern. Raw energy an awesome record.

Certainly not what I would class as a 60s stomper. Sulerb record but more mid tempo as you said. I switch between this and Bobby jones love both versions.

I thought Frederick Hymes was played in progressive northern clubs in a similar way things like James bell were never really considered it a modern record.

There were loads of others Pete this one just sticks as I let one get away

What’s the one record you spent a long time trying to snag a copy but for what ever reason didn’t manage it. for me it’s Thomas Bailey “just won’t move” on king i was even watching a copy on eBay that went really cheap but forgot to bid. Other than that copy I hardly ever saw it. there are lots of others but they were already expensive and had lots of demand so always went over what I was willing to pay.

150 dollars if I remember right when exchange rate was 2 dollars to 1 pound ?

I don’t disagreee with this but to me when a record is around in the qty this is then it’s time to look elsewhere when it comes to spending. Dont see the point in paying current market price I don’t see the value in doing that.

One of the unknown cover ups on a proper record…. mighty lovers for one.

My thoughts are 250 is plenty for fred hymes I wouldn’t consider it rare and there were enough copies for everybody who wanted one. and in recent times it’s had lots of hammer so a bit predictable for a DJ spot ?

Fred Hymes way over what it should be and regularly sells for ? madness I pity the people hearing these things for the first time now as these prices make it unrealistic.

The thrill of the chase

That determination to own a record you are aware of and want for a long time is something that must happen to us all. I know I’m guilty of it and have also then sold the items once I’ve owned them a while.

Lillie Bryant all time great fantastic northern.

Excellent shows Chris a regular listen on my drive to work

When I sold obscure ballads most went back to states or Japan but that was a while ago now. There obviously are UK based collectors but I don’t think they are the majority for this sound.
