You all might be intersted in an article i have just been sent by a friend in England that appeared in the Times and written by Stuart Cosgrove. The man sure knows his stuff and the whole article seems full of really interesting info.. Just go to

www.timesonline.co.uk and there it is with a nice picture of Berry Gordy and Diana Ross

Stay soulful, Tony T BONE. OZ. K.T.F.

There's another article about it as well, written by Stuart MacDonald.

Here are links that goes straight to both articles:

BTW Frank Wilson has read this thread "Quite extraordinary for sure" was his reaction.

OK, an update.

The Frank Wilson original copy is now in the hands of John Manship.

Plus there's a LOT of media interest from all sorts of unlikely places.

But where do we think this record is going?

At this early stage (some 4 weeks before the auction actually commences), the talk on the street is that it will almost certainly be heading out of the UK. So does that mean that one of the two known copies will leave the UK perhaps forever? And where will it go?

Well if I were the owner of the other copy and had a fair amount of disposable income I'd certainly be giving that some thought.

Ok Give in its my copy

Kenny is one of the Dj's at the Granite City Soul Club allnighter AT THE ABERDEEN BEACH BALLROOM 4th April 2009, auction fiishes 8th April, will it be Kennys last play of FW??

Tony, going by what I saw at the Spiders Web Anniversary, I reckon that was Kenny's last play of FW.

Although he may play his orig acetate with the spoken intro at Aberdeen.

Nice plug though,

D

Well to this day, no-one has found another copy apart from the two.

Talk is cheap, and Frank did say that Berry Gordy intentionally melted them all down.

my mate showed me a 10inch library acetate from motown complete with relevant studio paperwork which also has an alternate take ,do you know anything about this?

b/w further up the thread there was discussion about different takes/mixes.

Have I missed something?

Wasn't the auction meant to start on the 14/03/09?

It's the 18/03/09 today and I can't find it anywhere. Unless it's been grabbed on a Buy-It-Now

Where's the auction? Is it private? I want to get my big bid on

One thing to consider - if the tune is going to leave theses shores - where does that leave the Frank Wilson OVO fans?

Ah ah, I have missed something then. Better when it comes from the horses mouth

Thanks for that.

One week to go folks!

And the record is being graded as Excellent +.

Apparently Kenny took very good care of it but J.M.'s playing cautious hence not Mint -.

The auction and story is featured in the new edition of Record Collector and will also be featured this Sunday on BBC 6 Music in 'The Music Week' on Sunday between 1.00-2.00pm which covers the biggest events in Music in the forthcoming week:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/music_week/

Has everyone got their bids ready now?

how much commission do you get?

Well Kenny's a Scotsman and John's always a stickler so do the maths LOL........

Don't be suprised if it goes to a Non-Soul / Motown fan.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seem to remember a dealer in the early ninetees boasting he had bought an entire radio station stock and a Frank Wilson was included, he said it would be up for auction in the near future but I never heard anything further just assumed he never got it. Could he really have sold it privately subject to complete secrecy?

As someone who has just come back from the moon can anyone tell me just what did 'do I love you' actually sell for ??

wallace

around the 27k mark def not over that maybe just under,

Has it left the country yet?

who bought the frank??

i bet you somewhere in the states there will be someone with a poker face holding another 2 or 3 copies...

can someone tell me the story behind the black motown "uk stock" version of this tune.... is it a boot or did berry eventually press it or what?

kb

i know the policy is OVO and all but surely its time to think about just playing the cdr and have the 7'' on the platter spinning now... either that or DEMAND that the TT is set up properly with the right counterweights n stufff...

i love the OVO thing about northern soul, but playing a 7'' where there are only 2 playable copies, and the OWNER OF MOTOWN owns the other one.... its painful to me to know that the UK had a MINT copy and it got signed and played to VG+ - i think thats a real shame to be honest

still, theres always this for tim browns copy
