This is a really cool record but is it really worth over £500? There is one on e-bay which has reached over $700 bucks with still many hours to go(I was bidding but pulled out at $500 bucks). I think another one went a few days ago for a similar amount & I'm sure I've seen one on Mannies auction recently too. So is it THAT rare?

Exactly my point, if it's popping up all over the place then it can't be THAT rare and yet people are paying serious money for it! I'm gutted as I really love the tune!

Seeing it (or a few) for sale and getting it is not the same thing though is it

Took me a while to get mine and I have honestly not had that many chances since then, in the right condition and the right price

Top northern tune - classic Detroit label - it's the old supply & demand thing.

Always wanted an issue, but always missed out too, or saw it at a silly price.

I wouldn't pay that amount at the moment if I had the money to spend (I wish ) - would just sit it out and see what the score is in 12 months. Going to be a dynamic market I think.

Hope your right, really want a copy as it is a stormer but I think that a lot of people are after it which will keep the price high regardless of it's rarety. Look at the Four Tracks 'Like my love for you' that keeps popping up on E-bay thru the same seller and he regularly picks up $500 to $600 + bucks for it even tho' it's well known he has a bloody box of the buggers stashed away. Resigned myself to be waiting a long time!

I remember Poke telling me, back in the early 80's, that on his Detroit trips, when he worked for Soul Bowl, he 'used to tread all over copies of this to get to the good stuff'.

Became a surprisingly quite expensive record soon after.

i tottaly agree and what gos round comes round,often based on the wim of american dealers who either sit on them or suddenly find enlightment,the rarity etc should not distract from the fact that is a cracking tune almost as good as his beat ballad imho.

There is a lot of copies of this record, but it's a one of those good ones, and once its in a collection it very rarely comes out!

has anyone got an issue with the red writing

has anyone got an issue with the red writing

Used to have a Stock Copy Mate, regret selling it now, however early days of collecting.

At the time things were not as clear as today, we've all passed things by, sold etc.

I suppose, on balance there's others I'm pleased to have had chance of and kept, right place, right time.

All part of the collecting game.

has anyone got an issue with the red writing

Scan anyone please?

seen a couple w/demos go though ebay recently one went for over $1100, and one was sold tonight by lew stanley $959

as already stated would like to see a issue, as like alot of these quality 45s when one sells for a few bucks then

a few seem to surface then you wont see em for a while. they are out there just sitting in peoples collections!!

would say £350/£400ish for a mint-w/demo imo. have got a demo, top double sider

I had two of 'em back in the day (both demos). Bought one from Steve Glover C.1974 - then a better copy from Soul Bowl at about £2 - £2.50 I think. Love it, but sold 'em both pretty cheaply C.1989 when I needed the cash quickly. (Don't ask!)
