Walter - proper auction record.

Definitely Mick, and doubt we'll see one again.

I was reminded last week that Butch had a box of them at Sheridans (late 90s or early 2000s) at £50 apiece, so maybe we will see some more emerging for sale!

I didn't know it, so didn't buy one😭

I would never gauge it as £10k rare.

Shifty even lent Sooty a copy to play when he was "resurrecting the scene" in the 90's FFS ...

(And he probably never got it back as happened with a friend's copy of Jimmy Fraser)

£10800 the world's gone mad average at best imho

Yeah I get that. we all like different things. For me though it's the epitome of our genre and a seminal track with a brilliant intro and great harmonies'. It just begs to be danced to. I don't remember hearing it until the 90's when Butch played it as a guest at a local soul night. Value wise I would be the last person to ask. It's a record I could only dream of owning.

Butch never had a copy in his sales box in the early 90’s. By the early noughties, the record was selling for 3K. Tim’s copy was the first I’ve seen for sale on the open market this century. The record is extremely rare. It’s also a supreme exemplar of the genre…

I can’t believe that Julian. You must have been on some good gear. 🤣

Remember Pat Brady played the other side “ A Life Of Tears “ at Wigan ,1980 .Also a friend ,Dave Hitch from Walsall had a copy as he taped “ Life Of Tears “ for me ,early 80’s

Lol, Julian, next time you see Butch ‘remind’ him of that ‘box of them’ he had at £50 ‘a piece’ in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. His reaction will tell you that whoever ‘reminded’ you of it completely made that up!!!

I shall enquire of my 'source' when I next see him. I won't name him to protect the innocent😁

Maybe he was hallucinating?

Cheers Tim. Hope you’re well. Butch’s box was always a joy to browse at the 100 Club with stacks of contemporary in-demanders…

Yes Im good thanks👍🏽Yeah Butch has always had good/interesting records for sale. Those days of face to face sales and purchases are over for all of us unfortunately. Everything now is remote buying and selling, which isnt the same at all. I think thats why for me now, in the absence of ‘live’ record wheeling and dealing, and record boxes everywhere, many venues just feel like Working Mens Clubs with a Northern soundtrack, lol. Lots of old men and women just stood around drinking or staring into their phones, lol. Sad, lol.

Not a chance, it made that price because most don't own it...
