This must be the third or fourth copy of "Sweet Memories" by Robert Tanner to turn up on Ebay in as many weeks:

They've all been in some sort of used condition. As rare as thought??

Gene, I don't know much about rareties, but why would somebody spend all that money on a record that has loads of surface noise?

I could understand if it was mint or even graded as excellent, but quote: "Sweet Memories" side plays VG, with more background noise at beginning 20 seconds than rest of record. Flip side is a killer deep ballad, but plays fair at best, without skips). Does that mean its bad all the way through or just the first 20 seconds???

Good point Ian - though I think a Mint one goes for near enough £1,000, so I guess someone who wants one, but probably can't afford to spend that, or (like me) doesn't want to (!!) sees it as an alternative.

I tap this in with 5 mins to go before the auciton closes, and it's now at about $309!!!

Still a rare record but 1 of the 3 copies was put back on ebay due to atimewaster to the best of my knowledge

Rare or not, I was offered one about 10 years ago, didn't like it then and don't now, still soounds average to me, nice looking label that's about it for me!

Depends how bad you want it I suppose.

I had a stroke of luck on the bay a few months back with winning a TC Lee for £350. It was supposed to be VG but I love it to bits and although that was a lot for a record of that condition I'll never own a mint £750-£800 pounder (unless I win the jackpot) so thought 'its your only chance'.

It turned up looking f*cked vinyl wise, plays like its EX.......
