I would have to be asking for scans of it not in a sleeve, I would feel a little uneasy paying what this will probably command on that viewing alone, so I won't be asking lol

[Pete S]

It takes a lot for me to get excited over a record nowadays.
I just got excited!
What a beauty - only the second I've ever seen.

[MrC]

Beautiful! And out of my price range unfortunately

There was an issue on ebay about 2 months ago, and it got pulled after about a day.

A strong VG one sold on ebay last year for just under $3k, so wouldnt be surprised if it smashes through that considering the condition. As people have said, it sure does look pretty

[Sebastian]

Nice! Wrong sleeve though...

Sebastian is correct. That sleeve was only in use until the very early 60s. Anyone got any ideas where this might have been pressed?

So how much will a wrong sleeve knock off the price... a grand or so?????

Definitely not the same seller, I remember the other auction as the person had a story about owning a record store and not wanting to sell but needs for store made it necessary. This seller (Sprydiddle) often seems to have things in mint. Definitely a warehouse I'd like to be given a shopping spree in

actually here is that sale --> http://www.popsike.c...0719003320.html

There are many many reasons why these issues are rare and have been discussed in the rare demo or rare issues threads. Contract or distribution problems, artists dying or leaving the group. A lot of southern soul records suffered from terrible promotion and distribution issues.

another reason not mentioned is that if a record isn't a hit on the radio, they're not going to waste their money pressing stock copies to send to stores

Only a thought Bob , was'nt that the reason they made and distributed promos/demos ?

To go to the length of making issues ..usually meant there was a demand for the issue copy to justify production ??

I agree, this is exactly what I was saying, sorry if I wasn't clear.
