£75 in Manship's

thats a weired one, this used to be a record that was put at the back of a box that was at the back of the boxes if you know what i mean, who pays £75 ?, thats not a dig at mr manships prices but just another thought about all those 45,s ive chucked or gave away over the years, has anyone got a soundclip thing as i cant remember how good/crap this record is,

this could be the start of a new thread called "soul pack memories", or is my memory playing tricks

I feel exactly the same about it: bought it when I was still very new to soul collecting and thought it was rubbish. It has sat in a box of odds and ends for over two decades. Stumbled across it again recently and was surprised to see that it shared the credits with Wilson Love's fantastic crossover record, The Money Song on Natural Soul Records (in fact both sides of The Natural Soul Band and The Money Song are supposed to be on the same LP: The Natural Soul Show). It got me thinking that while Wilson Love was once something of a rarity until more copies were found, The Joker itself seems decidedly elusive.

But while it might be worth £75 in terms of relative scarcity I think I'd have a job actually selling a copy for that amount as it's still, to my ears at least, not a particularly good record.
