I have a copy on London American (HL 10070) I have come across it on Revilot, Stateside, Quality and Million but never London. Anyone know anything about it at all? Cheers Nick

      That's enough evidence for me. Congratulations Nick. You've found the rarest British soul record of all time.

    If 150 SS collectors all bought a ticket for £100, assuming the seller would take £15,000  right now, then the winning ticket drawn gets to keep the  record. Hands up how many of us would risk a ton t

      For the amount this is likely to go for, I'd expect JM in a Santa suit to deliver it personally.

Thanks Pete S!  I might not know my way around a soul forum, but I bake a fabulous cake.  :elvis:

Can't remember when exactly but I do recall JM saying that a guy from Hull bought it for his girlfriend, I think it may have been part of the blurb on his site when selling another record ???

She must have been a girl in a million for him to do that. Frankly, the notion is highly implausible as I can not think of any bloke that would stump up that sort of money for a record with writing on the label AND just give it away... I can see a girl in Hull being head over heels with a guy called Kenny and surprising him with a rare record paid for with money from a joint bank account. The mystery deepens...

It was adrian chiles...he called it rarest 45inch record...lol.

 

You're right. As I wrote Durham it sounded wrong. :D

wasen't john prescott buying it for his friend tracy was it

The last Imread about Frank Wilson bought from JM was it was bought by a guy in Australia for his girlfriend, but the record has since been sold on and is now in USA or Canada. 

 

lets hope DB buyer isn't quite as mysterious!

Well I was told it was bought by someone in Hull for his girlfriend who wasn't really into soul.  They then later split up?  Where it is now, dunno.

Well, this is a thing of rare beauty. I think so many of us have a big soft spot for this record because the Stateside issue was one of the first proper Northern records we bought; it was an age before it got deleted.  

 

I don't think you can put a price on a one-off like this, but I'd be amazed if it went for less than £20k.

 

Whats a great year it's been for Northern soul, one way and another. 

If it was a one-off rare stamp just think how many millions this would fetch!   :yes:

Manship website gone down on me!

Anyone else?

 

Edit: back now, it's probably just getting battered with hits.

Why do I get the feeling this will drag the whole bloody thing on a bit longer  :wicked:

14,543 SMACKAROONS, great price

Must admit I thought it would have gone for at least £10,000+ more then that?

If I had the money to buy either FW or Darrell,no contest Dazza all the way for me.

Cheers

Yes, but we still don't know what it would have gone for.

 

May well have been other potential buyers who couldn't place their bids. If so, I bet they (and perhaps the seller), are not too happy at the moment.

Was just going to say the same, possible bidders waiting til the last seconds, and crash......................

And the seller of the T-shirt!  :wicked:

is this the moment when the guy from the pressing plant comes up with another copy?

And the seller of the T-shirt!  :wicked:

 

Yes indeed! That is the real tragedy here ... we'll never know what that T-shirt is really worth?!? 

It was pobably all the people on topics like this viewing the auction and constantly refreshing their web page that caused any crash.

So do we think there will be a recount??

Cheers

They can have a re-run in the New Year :wicked:

not unless he's really uma thurman and knows how to kick his way out of a coffin! :dash2:

is this the moment when a relative of the guy from the pressing plant comes up with another copy?  :rofl: 

I too would have thought it had gone for much more, especially after all the hype and what not.

This is when the label owners want it back as it was stolen from the pressing plant without permission! lol.

I doubt it Martyn.

 

The site has occasionally crashed before at the business end of auctions. It happened in my favour once, when I was in the lead on a record, and I still received the 'winning' e-mail as confirmation. I suspect that will have happened again, and will constitute a contract.

 

Although, having said that, internet sales confirmations are not always taken as 'contracts'. There have been several incidents - one in the last few days at Amazon - where incorrectly priced goods have not been enforceable. I guess we'll have to watch this space.

This incident might not look too pretty if radio 5-live do a follow up to the Adrian Chiles show feature of last week.

be interesting to see what the seller thinks.....will he be happy of course he should be but ?

 

is nickw online, be great for a response

Given the interest this has generated I would imagine any serious bidders would have got their bids in rather than take a chance on the final seconds.

I would rather take a chance on a late bid than take a chance on being outbid, regardless of interest/price, I don't think i'm the only one with this train of thought either

Probably half happy half fed-up, hoping it reached 20k
