In pounds shilling and pence £150 to £200 although have seen some list for more.

Wonderful record, but very hard to sell for some strange reason.

For what its worth i had 25 mint(box set)and they went missing?

sold mine for £300.00 about 3 years ago

The other side is actually the "A" side, title "Many Mood (of a Man)". I didn't like it, and played it only once in 1967, when I got it. So, I don't remember how it sounds. But my taste runs towards sweet melodies and beat is irreleveant to me (so it "might" be a NS-type sound. But, as no one has played it on The Scene, I'd guess that it is just weak all around. Otherwise we'd have heard about it (as the record is not all that hard, and has been around). I'm shocked to hear that The Imaginary Three are not The Imaginations. They sound very like them, and after The Romantics of Ruby & Romantics, I think they are the best backup group to a female lead that never sangon their own.

Cynthia Girty told my friend that the Imaginary Three were not the Imaginations. I think she posted on her youtube video or something like that if you want to contact her.

I have no reason to doubt her word. I was just commenting on my being surprised because the names were so close, and they sounded so alike. With no lead voice, it's reasonable to realise that they could sound very alike if both groups harmonise well.

From her youtube video....

"THATS WHAT I AM" is the title of this great soul classic. The group members were Cynthia, Quintin, Jerome and Danny. Some of Cynthia Girty's other works include; "Cynthia and the Imaginations", (hit song "HeyBoy")

and from the "Bootsy Collins" produced funk girl group "GODMOMA". Album entitled "Godmoma Here" Electra release. Using her first name only "Cynthia" she wrote and worked on many wonderful projects. Including "Premonition" a song written by Gary Brown

Wonderful record, but very hard to sell for some strange reason.

That'd put it in the same category as Kittie Doswell - Face In The Crowd - , then , hard to find but harder to sell !!!!!!!

£250 these days.
