Yep, sorry I just got carried away (again). I thought Steve would keep his wallet zipped up. I would totally absolutely love to know from Lee why and why so much We all know that money usually makes money, but in this case ......????

Chalky Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Tim B sez STOP PRESS - Frank Wilson sells for a million quid! Yes its my copy... and Paul Pugba just couldn't resist. I handed it over with a full face mask and tongs used for handling enriched plutonium borrowed from Sellafield. TikTok was not present. Despite comments from other sources he knew it played okay as he was at the Ritz 'Rarest Of The Rare' allnighter when I played it in front of 1200 people. P.S. Smile alert, smile alert, smile alert... some of the above is true, some of it is false. Apply your own common sense. P.P.S. And as reported in the Daily Sport... Pugba is quoted as saying, "with this and Leicester Tipped-'un going for £500,000 I will be applying for a hefty wage increase at Mancaster United'.

Speedlimit Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) There's only 3 people who will ever know, the buyer the seller and the Inbetween man. Wouldn't surprise me, as people seem to pay any amount for shagged big money record's. So in the grand skeem of things £100k for a decent copy of DILY is believable Edited August 11, 2020 by Speedlimit 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I both empathise and sympathise completely with people in that position.. but why should that detract from someone else who is enjoying some success ??? FFS.. It's called LIFE, and if that is your attitude then, with respect, I think you need to go and get one !! Why can't you just be pleased for Lee instead of trying to cloud his good fortune with crap that happens.. EDIT: I also think your post in not relevant to the topic, and hope the mods see fit to remove it.. If you feel that strongly about putting the world to rights, why not start a separate thread ??

Frankie Crocker Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The figure of 100K is unconfirmed. Lee has said he is not going to disclose the actual value. The figure mentioned by the media is pure speculation. Newspapers have become too willing to manufacture fake facts to fill column inches, something that is reprehensible but they get away with it all they time by cribbing from other media sources. The actual value of the transaction may never emerge as only Lee and the seller know the figure involved and have decided to avoid publicity. If I was Lee and I’d just got married, I’d not want my missus to know the figure either... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I honestly wish Tim would let this jealousy go with John Manship. He really makes himself look stupid in my opinion. All the digs on his lists etc..... unnecessary. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Wheelsville1 Posted August 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 To me this is quite simply another way of Lee promoting himself and his business along with John at the same time. In the same way Kenny will always be remembered for paying 15k for it,rather than for his knowledge on soul music. Chris. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Fish Fingers Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I am not at all surprised. The thing is, there are so many people in the world nowadays with spectacular levels of wealth. From footballers to oligarchs to tech wonderkids to property tycoons......etc. They are now surprisingly common and the Internet makes the world into a global village. And even if they are not into soul music, the bragging rights of owning the worlds most expensive single for a mere £125k would be a bit of fun for them. And once the £100k Frank Wilson sale made global news (I read it in The Times) its open season. All imo. Sad but true. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
