Overheard at the Greatstone recently when Keith Money was DJing as Papa Bear & Cubs "You're so fine" on SMS was played -

"Butch had 30 copies of this last year and was selling them for £8, Soul Sam just paid £1200 for a copy".

Whether any of these statements are true I don't know but I love this record bar grapevine gossip. This is the stuff myths & legends are made of...

I'd have to say bollox to that first bit. It was a £200 tune last year so I doubt that Butch would have knocked out 30 copies @ £8 a pop when he could have dripped them out @ £200. Besides has Butch ever sold anything for £8?

Gotta agree with the first comment, been at least that price for couple of years....gone through the roof last 12 months or so. Did hear he had quantity though..now all gone.

Dunno what happened there

ra any good ?

Got mine from Dear Glove a few years ago - it was a front page focus job @ £6 for one week only. I think he had about 6-8 copies, and they flew out the door.

Sam did pay a lot for his copy, but if I was a betting man I'd suspect "trades" more than "cash"....

Great stuff Cats!,

I asked about this record last year and it was said to be obscure but no more than £100 and that Various people could get me a copy. Good Record which Keith plays on a regular basis. £1200 I dont think so unless Sam has had a lobotomy! Who Knows

I think it was me that said I could get one Steve... The guy who was selling wanted £180 but it went shortly after I was told about it. I'd have had it for myself if I had known it back then but only heard if fgor the forst time about 2 months ago. Aggree with all comment a superb record ...but £1200, Really? I don't think so....

BLOODY HELL it works Thanks Billy I take it all back

I asked Butch about it when I got back from Prestatyn earlier this year and he replied something like "It is a weak ballad/general soul tune, can't see why anyone would want it. Last copy I had I think I sold for £75 or something some time back". I told him it was not a ballad and he seemed a bit puzzled. So much for your bar gossip I guess... Pleasant tune but it sounded better out I think.

I know All those who are saying it's not worth the figures quoted, when and if you find one I'll take it at your valuation I know at least 4 others who would pay a grand now

I was told that Mr Rosen was sitting on quantity of this 45..

Its not all its cracked up to be IMO

Very mediocre and goes nowhere.

Not a Grands worth in my book.but I buy shite anyway,..

Might be mediocre Gash but certainly having an effect on the dancefloors...must have something going for it

This is certainly one of those 45s that sound a lot better out loud than at home. Not worth the money people are paying for it at the moment.

I'd be inclined to agree with you but people are paying it and others are willing to pay it so who's right?

Thats what I was hoping cos it didn't sound up to much on the soundbyte put up.

It's another example of what's great/crazy/unique/bizarre about the scene. To my ears there's NOTHING in that record which stands out as 'remarkable'. The band sound like they've just been introduced - but someone obviously likes it and it's obviously ,er, 'worth' 1200 because someone's willing to pay it!

It does sound a lot better played out. But £1000+ seems a crazy price though.

Like Steve G i payed £6 for it off Rod Dearlove a few years back (wished i`d bought 2 now !).

Girth,i`ll play it next wednesday at a "New Chapter" so you can make up your own mind.

A case of demand and it being one of the current "in" sounds falsly inflating the price. Can think of many records that used to cost little that now command silly prices..Four Tracks, Karmello Brooks, Tangeers......

I just like the fact that soulsters are dancing to it even though it sounds as though the band are using a Bontempi and the begining sounds similar to "devilgate drive" I do like it though

I thought the start sounds like "shang a lang" or one by the Glitter Band

Maybe we should have a vote - Suzi Quatro, Bay City Rollers or The Glitter Band
