Cult artists - don't overlook these gems...

Cult artists - sometimes not listed in price guides, sometimes way underpriced. Jandek, singer/songwriter from Houston way, goes for $25 topping out over $100 - my partner and I found about 25 of his albums at a college radio sale. Townes Van Zandt lps book under $10 each - but his albums on Tomato top out for over $100. If you're in Texas, it may be worth posting ads on your local craigslist looking for those guys. Mojo Nixon - his cds generally go for a lot more than the vinyl. Look for his first cd with Skid Roper - it's self-titled, but popularly known among fans as the Free Drunk and Horny lp. Jimmy Buffet's first 2 lps on Barnaby - Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee can do well - I've bought lps on eBay by misspelling his name in the search engine, then turning around and reselling it on eBay (of course, correctly spelling his name!)

Do a complete auctions search in 45's using "Northern Soul". Keep an eye out for some of those titles - especially if you live around Detroit or Philly. Type in rare funk to come up with some more names. Don't forget to list high price to low price on these searches.

hope you have good luck searching this weekend!

Just heard a release of Dyke and the Blazers on 180 gram vinyl by Ace Records out of the UK. I emailed for wholesale info, but haven't heard back yet. Their website is acerecords.com. Lots of cool soul stuff from the 50's and '60's. I definitely want to stock these guys!

The Northern Soul phenomenon was one of the biggest
musical movements of the 1970s in the UK. At its height
thousands of party people would descend on the clubs
and venues of the scene every weekend for all-night parties,
driven by high octane soul music. The four volumes of
this series trace the history of the scene via four of
the greatest clubs on the circuit, and in the course of
this, they present the most definitive, best researched
and most authoritatively annotated survey of Northern Soul
ever released on CD in the UK. Each album comes with a
12 page full colour booklet featuring in depth liner notes,
photos and full discographical information.
These compilations are essential listening for any fan of
soul music and are an important document of one of the
most essential musical movements the UK has ever produced.
