Guest Nik Mak Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Is this the copy supposedly found by the two NY hip - hop collectors ? ......... Malc Burton Couldn't tell you never heard that story before? I understood that there are only two copies in existance as the rest were distroyed under orders from Berry Gordy. Frank Wilson was an in house writer and did the song to show how it should be sung for reference not to be commercially released. This might be all complete hog wash but that's how the story goes. 1 copy was supposed to have changed hands a few years back for 25K! As far as it being available, everything is available for the right price! Sorry if I'm wrong just passing on some Northern soul folk lore.

Gene Not sure what you mean by a rumour record. Do you mean never released on Shrine or never recorded? Certainly recorded and one of my favourite all time records. There is an unreleased version, is that the one you mean? This was on popsike and it lists 'One Gold Piece' as the flip side. Tried to find a scan of the flip, but can't yet.

I wasn't in touch with the NS scene much for a few years there - when the Shrine LPs came out, the Prophets was known, but no one had found an actual copy of the single. It looks like it did turn up - anyone have an idea how many copies are around? It is one of my fav records as well - so at least there is some hope. Ill be driving along, see a yard sale. Pull over and ask if they have any records, to be shown a basement full of records from a closed record shop. From DC. I can dream cant I????

Tomangoes Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Assuming you paid £15,000 for a record, would you actually dare play it? I would love to see (me preferably) a soul-sourcer win the euro lottery (about £90m last count) and see if there was any record that wasnt all of a sudden for sale, once word got out. Looking at the current prices, the winner may still not actually have enough to buy a mint copy of every single record deemed to be northern soul/across the board playable. (30000?). On the other hand one or two folks out there are selling 25000 known tracks on DVDs for 0.4pence per track. No job too small or to big, as they might say.
