When did this become so expensive? I seem to remember it being £100. I'm sure I sold mine to Joan for around that amount. Has Butch started playing it or something?

there are 6 bob and gene 45s on modo (not including the previously unissued daptone 45). which one are you talking about? a bunch of them are valuable.

"i really love you" which you could pick up for £75 - £100 a couple of years ago

I Really Love You has not been £100 for a long time, well I've not seen it for that price for a long time.

in 2009 i got 2 copies one off here after i posted up a want £100 , one off ebay £75, ok a bit more than a couple of years ago, but this record has rocketed in price over the past few years

For anyone who's interested here's a very good write-up on Mo Do and Bob & Gene

When someone bid £800 on eBay for it about 2yr back

Agree Ted, top tune but appalling production, I just thought all copies I'd heard were worn out

I'm amazed that one eBay sale could do that. Seems to be loads of great and rare 45's that have dropped in value, or maybe fallen out of favour?

The strange world of northern soul.

i know Grant i heard it at a venue recently and folks were dancing staggering it was just a noise

bob and gene "sailboat" is very similar in tempo n probably better produced and less well known!!!

oops!!!!... perhaps better known than i thought

In demand as much for the first outing of the flip "I Can Be Cool"

Great record, but the Mastering is very poor. I've never heard one that plays load & clear, which is a shame as it is otherwise a great record.!

"i really love you" which you could pick up for £75 - £100 a couple of years ago

Your right Trev , I had 2 copies of I Really Really love you and sold both for £100 2 - 3 years ago , seemed to be around that price for years as I seem to remember getting a copy from Adey Pierce 10 years ago for 100 and a copy of Sailboat for 80

i sold mine on here for i think £175 or £125

but it struggled to sell @ first,took a few listings.

the production put me off.didnt seem to sound any louder the higher i put the volume up.

i dont think the sound quality problems are down to poor production, more to do with bad pressing

is it the same bobby nunn that was on motown in the early 80`s

Trev, although it was a low budget set up in a basement it was also pressing problems. William Nunn wasn't pleased with the pressing quality and went to the Rite pressing plant in Cincinatti where he saw a young lad younger than his own son operating the equipment. He then decided to change plants which is where the yellow labels get replaced with the tri-colour. At what point that was I don't know off hand without scanning around but it must have been after the Alfred O release (Mo Do 110) which is yellow.

Just looked through Rite pressings and Mo Do 116 was the last Rite press

Dave, yes it is. Well associated with Rick James

I put it up on here as a want and was quoted £1000/1200 by certain people who are replying to this very thread.

No chance!

Wow! That's amazing. It's certainly a good tune, but as others have said, terrible sound quality.

i know Grant i heard it at a venue recently and folks were dancing staggering it was just a noise

You must have forgotten to take your ear plugs with you that night, mind you things need to be played really loud when they've got your shirt's to compete with !!!

Why don't you give "I Gotta To Find A Way/Don,t Leave Me " a listen cheap and cheerful just like me

Dave

as dave says...a top notch tune !!!!
