That why I have posted this want......was going for the one on ebay.....but its rediculous....good luck to the seller if people with more money than 'a sense of proportion' are bidding, what chance have I got at getting one at what I consider is TOP DOLLAR for this......Demmand frenzy as usual on our scene... 

Out of curiosity, why Turley Richards fetches that silly money when you can get Jimmy James and the Vagabonds original version for peanuts?

One I deffo sold too early and cheap, 3 years back Ex+ for £160. Lolol.  !!!!

not a patch on turley richards

It really amazes me the story behind this Turley Richards 45 and its connections with Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. "I feel alright" is written by Jimmy James and recorded by both artists, and the b-side "I can't get back home to my baby" is written by Turley Richards and also recorded by both!! Any more info why these two artists: one based in USA and the other based in the UK have this connection? I'd love to know.

The best person to ask is Turley Richards himself, he is on facebook, spoke to him a few times, he may have the answer to your question.

Very true, just bide your time, or do a trade 😉

I wonder how often the people who love to quote the high prices actually pay them.  I dont see the point of just quoting high values.

 

patience is the best way when looking for a want.

Thing is collectors are usually after LOTSof records at the same time....so you can always divert to another want........at a sensible fair  price of course.....

As you do !!!

I'd just buy the one on eBay on the off chance it will be the last you see for sale, the condition may be as good as you will get, the record will hold it's value and probably appreciate in years to come, you can tick it off the wants list to focus on the next elusive record, err that's plenty of reasons...

Musically, it's a great track and a floorpacker to boot.

Ha-ha that's the logic I've used on many an occasion.

Jeez, is it really necessary to slag off a record on a wants thread?

Hi there, I put up the want on this thread originally .......but cant be asked to get involved....its just another of many records of my varied taste that I would like....world would be a dull place if we all had the same taste would'nt it ?   I like some sweet soul, some funky edged soul, some RnB, some old school Northern, some new releases, some ultra rare , some blue eyed soul, some top 500, some 70s/80s ......and so on, aint we lucky we can access so much different SOUL these days.....
