You couldn't sell it for a fiver 10 years ago. Had it in my box for years and ended up selling it for £3.

I used to leave these in the rack on Bradford market, didnt like it then and still dont.

Total madness, £216 now, wtf ... I got one for £40 6 months ago

I didn`t like it back then and I don`t recall hearing it since but having played it now I think its very good.

So, £216 on John Manship's auction. Anyone got anything rational to add? It's a great two-sider, but.....

Let's see who the first person on this site to put up a copy for sale at £100+ is, quoting it's auction price...

£30 record all day all year

I think its a truly great record, yes it went for a ridiculously high price, I couldn't believe it. but you get trust and assurance from buying from john. IMHO

Second that. That stall used to groan from the weight of those Broadways 7"s. The world has gone crazy.....this has always been a £1 record in my book.

Doesn't it make you think that there may be a bit of Shill bidding going on sometimes when you see these cheap records selling at ridiculous prices?
There's a couple I've seen lately and thought that something isn't right, like the Sheila Anthony - Livin in love on Route up to £67.50 with 4 days to go that's on there now.
Sorry should point out I mean on eBay not JMs auctions.

Trust and assurance that you've paid way, way over the top for very common record and that people think you're daft. Money well spent.

In the case of Sheila Anthony, I absolutely agree with you, something not right there on Ebay

but you get trust and assurance from buying from john. IMHO

 And you don't with anyone else?

Thats what I was thinking...

What 216 pounds worth of trust and assurance?

Ridiculous, the worlds gone mad - it'd be good if the person who bought it would come on here and explain why he thinks its a good idea to pay over £200 for a £30 record….

You could buy 5 copies for less than the auction value and hope one is ok and still be better off

Got mine off Rudzy for £4 when talk of it was going to be big soon (1992) but never happened.

This is actually one of my all time favourites.... I was after a mint copy on ebay a few weeks back and lost the auction in the last seconds for under £40. I really do wonder who pays these premium prices....? Maybe there are a lot of Japanese guys who bid on the Manship auctions, as I know a lot of Japanese collectors (not just of records) by UK standards have very deep pockets.....

Manship mania. Plain tune finally has it's day and value spirals. Invest now in the Royalettes, the next big MGM sound. Sell April Stevens, it's had it's day. Hold Dotty Cambridge, it might go big (price wise) one day. Why buy stocks and shares when you can speculate on labels. MGM is the new Shrine so bid accordingly wannabe DJ's...Off to the footie now...

that's because you can't back drop into the climaxes of the record,Kegs -too many dinner time sessions with Andy Simpson has left you knackered !!

-and have you managed to dump all those Reggie Sadler's and Fabulous Fours yet??
