The painting shows two Northern Soul lads - one selling a record to the other. For record collectors the search was always for rarity - if a record was a demo, this meant that it was a demonstration copy which was usually sent out to DJs to see how popular the track may be. A demo was worth a lot more than a normal record.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"\u003eThis is how it was back in the 70's - Neil captures the scene perfectly - from the dress of the two lads to the record boxes to the hold alls.
