Benji Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Label is well off center Don't think so. It looks like it was printed off center but it sits pretty centered on the record. Edit: Fantastic record and I'm not surprised about the price. Edited May 30, 2012 by Benji 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It's pretty much right up there as one of the greatest Northern Soul records of all time, has all the right credentials and has always been as rare as hen's teeth. I thought I broke the bank when I bought it for £40 off Kev in 1975 or thereabouts (the second copy I believe). When the deal was done and I actually got the record in my hands I knew it was a very very special purchase. Everything about the record is just perfect. I can't think of many records that can demand such an increase in value after 37 years but this is sure one of 'em. The perfect record in every way. Great song, great production, impeccable vocals and on a super RARE Detroit label. Worth every penny. I wish I still had it. I'll get it back when I get my next million.......

45cellar Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 You raise a good point there mate. At the time I spent almost all my wages every week on records, once board paid was skint most of the time. I remember getting three weeks money (inc, two weeks holiday pay) almost all went on records & board. Prices may appear low compared to todays wages, however, it was a tidy sum back then.

All of us did Roger! I was earning £22.50 a week from my job and some pocket money from deejaying but I was always broke because there was always another record. I'd regularly spend a couple of weeks broke because I'd just layed-out on a record or two. I didn't really drink or smoke back then so that's obviously how I afforded it all LOL....
