This has always been rare, but didnt think it was valued at just this much

Currently on ebay at over $2000!

Was it always worth this much?

Jim

it sounds a bit distorted..a bit grissly,,,,,the vocals strings etcetera are ok but theres something else goin on in the background that shouldnt be there..they might all be like this.....good record tho..but aint the flipside crap

75 quid and when was this? when people were earning 10 quid per week?

Les Hall (King Bee Records) told me he sold this for a 5 quid  

 

when i was  talking to him @ his shop about 3yrs ago

acually it sounded almost as bad as a needle burned copy. The record looked clean and nice but because of that destroyed intro I personally wouldnt grade it any higher than VG+. A 1500 UKP maybe 2000 UKP record easily these days in decent (mint minus) conidtion.   

it may just be static who knows... one thing for sure if you were paying $2000 for a record its got to play decent even if there a few marks.......if i dont play well i for one would contemplate sending it back

probably not..it was a long time ago and only worth a fiver at that point in time

Sending it back, you mean after punching a hole in your monitor?

Must admit the last copy which I had in my mits looked like the dog had eaten his dinner off it.

I saw it on a John Manship sales list in September 1983 for £25.

I know Mal - old record lists make very upsetting reading!

Pat Lewis was for sale at Global Records Manchester in the 70's for 85p Danny Woods you had me fooled 40p I bought two Pat Lewis A few Danny Woods bought 6 Mickie Farrows and back in 72 bought every copy of Lenis Guess just ask me they had which was if I remember was about 15 copies lent Dave Rivers one to listen to at the Highland Room bugger never gave it me back lol

Global also had plenty copies of Tony Hestor watch yourself..

5 pounds I bet the poor guy is losing sleep now!!

That won't bother Les one bit he's had loads of rarer records in than Pat Lewis , I got a Magnetics I have a girl off him did,nt even kow he had one till I heard some one playing a tape that Les had done them

King Bee records is a brilliant second hand record shop in Chorltum Mancs I've had some brilliant stuff off Les over the years he deals in every kind of records from the 50s to present day . Always. Good place to buy northern

Everybody seems to get bargains, the only bargain I got was one from The Bay city Rollers. Anybody interested?

I remember this being £750 and that was a few years back..

Hi Ian

didn't think that Global records sold anything for less than 25 bob - perhaps your old age is making your mind play tricks on you  

Agreed, the sound file on the eBay copy sounds rough more or less all the way through 

 

Cheers

I saw it on a John Manship sales list in September 1983 for £25.

 

Soulbowl listed it too for 12 quid in the mid 80's  never told Ted incase he strong armed me to sell it with a bid of £19.99

I saw it on a John Manship sales list in September 1983 for £25.

I bought it off him  

$2738  which at about $1.48 to the £1 (paypal rates) equates to approx £1850 + postage!
