absolute madness 

That's a lot of money, Great track though. 

Big money, but in line with others shown on Popsike. Could finish at double the current bid despite condition. Great tune and perfect for cranking things up a notch at a 'Niter coming soon.

If only Brits graded like funkyou......would be VG++ here 

Agreed Chalky - sound clip much better than a VG- if in UK!!

It's a super soul record. Any soul collector/dj would like one of those............................................. surely. Well I would.

Do not call me Shirley!

to put this in perspective I've just bought a mint Italian lambretta sx 150 for same money

Nice one. You love scooters other people prefer records. Each to their own innit.

I have to say that I have had thoughts of buying a scooter this year. Probably part of my mid life crisis. I had a Lambretta 200 when I was fourteen. I think that's what it was - great nic too. We used to ride it on the beach and roads around Mablethorpe. Unlawful behaviour of course but we never got done!

Know what you mean Chalky but his VG- is described as:

  "The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG record but will play without skipping."

$3,900 seems a hell of a lot of money for a record with clicks and pops which you probably can't dj with?

On Popsike there was a VG++ with a slight warp which went for $6,643 back in October 2014. I'm sure there was a more recent one sold which was talked about on here but can't find it a the moment!

It certainly is Peter, massive tune and IMO one of the best five records I've ever heard and I'd love one myself. Whenever I bump into Steve Woomble at Cleethorpes he just knows that I'm going to ask him to play this (and he always does)

In 2014 pound was a lot stronger 6 grand in dollars is not far off 6 grand that's frightening

Ah, Mr Woomble! 

Yep, he's a god lad who knows a tune or two. He likes a drink or two too - just like me!

Yep, its a lot of money. But, if you have the money to spend and you want the record then you'll buy it. 

 

Hiya, great record. Heard it played twice this week in Hinckley, green rooms Tuesday and sketchley grange tonight.  Had some hammer over the years but still sounds great played out.  There's more copies around than most folk think. If I remember wasnt  it covered as bobby Womack ?  Cheers

Floorpacker down under too, where there are at least 4 copies.  In terms of rarity, how many known copies..... 30/40ish?

There was I think 25 from the original little find back in the early 2000's, plus the odd one or two all ready out there and those found since.  Still very rare in the grand scheme of things.

Listening to the first 1min 15 secs there are no pops or jumps and what background crackle etc is gone with the music.  Sounds a pretty decent copy for a Vg- grading. His grading does say "MAY HAVE".  But like you say it is a lot of money and I would have put a full sound file up or I would want to hear the full file before parting with any money.  It isn't like the track isn't out there so a full file wouldn't have mattered.

Remind me, and I'll play it for you next time I'm at the Prince of Wales

Don't remember it being covered up, Billy Davidson I believe the first to play it around the time of the Berwick Upon Tweed weekenders.  How many copies dos you reckon?  There was 25 in the little find early 2000s, the odd couple or so about prior to this and those since......

Hiya, I really have no idea how many copies, just like the tune.   Not much help there then.  Cheers

Not that keen on it really . "not worth the attention it gets not in my books".

You can get ghe best sife for 40 quid

Its still  less than what I have just paid for a second hand lens for my camera. You get what you pay for.  Great tune, would have loved one in my collection

No, it was a US dealer whose name I forget at the minute.  He move to one of the Scandinavian countries if memory serves at one point.

Never really got the Exus Trek - but then again I dont like instrumentals.

The vocal however is a thundering soul record. Great vocalist is Luther.

This record looks like a one-off...unless he's selling the worst copy first and has a stack of mint copies for the next dozen auctions...

That's what I was getting at if he had a box ot 25 L Ingram's,all the ones I've seen on there have been shagged,never seen him sell a mint one....

Not seen a mint one on eBay for a while but there's one for sale weekly from one dealer or another. Wilson Pickett continues to lead the way in terms of mint copies in quantity. Jason certainly offers one of the best auctions around at present and continues to bring a range of good sounds to market.

What's the chances a certain well known record dealer will sweep up the Hamilton Movement off ebay and have it on set sale within a  couple weeks at a 33 1/3 % mark up ?

His grading was worse than ours five or 6 years ago , and he wasn't the nicest of people but that was back then obviously changed his ways

had loads of 45s of him over the years with no problems - well packed - reasonable postage - well graded a lot of times record better than

what expected imo

also just noticed both the highest bidders at present have feedback scores of the same 309...? just chance or...

just finished at £3,888.64...thought was gonna see a bidding frenzy last few seconds

About £1000 more than the minter on Manship auction !

I recently had a couple of Lps off him, Vg grading and hardly a mark on them, similar over hear would have been Ex.

Also , not only does the Lambretta look fantastic , when you kick it up and sit on it that's when the fun really starts .

Try sitting on a copy of the Hamilton Movement . That's when the fun stops. Your £4000 "investment" is now in two pieces and worth fcuk all.

I never really bought any record so that I could kick and sit on it. I guess we all have our foibles. 

I did once buy an expensive collectors car to cook my dinner on. For some reason it didn't work and the car caught fire. Fcuk, funny that.
