The other playable copy of the single belongs to Berry Gordy, the legendary founder of Motown. The disc is said to be kept in a temperature-controlled room at his home in Hollywood.

No such compunction about "trying to keep it in AMERICA" then? Why am I not surprised?

Anyway, if the press are so interested, why don't they publish the results of Manship's auction every week - alongside the lottery numbers perhaps?

Just wait until Mannie auctions it and the winner at $1000000 is user name "Kiddiefiddler"

then you know Wacko Jacko bought it. Off to Neverland it goes..back to the USA

sorted

I suspect it may well end up in the V&A only to become subject to a heated dispute to "return it to the States" as a "cultural artifact", like the Elgin Marbles! Wait and see!

An attempt to keep it in Scotland/uk erhhh isn't it from the USA?

Stuart Cosgrove, the broadcaster and northern soul collector, has urged the Scottish government to intervene to prevent the rare pressing being sold to a foreign buyer.

"Make no mistake about it. This is soul music's Titian moment," "A rare Titian has been saved . . . and the pressure is on the SNP to stand up for rare soul."

FFS BEHAVE

Mike Russell, the culture minister, said:

"We are certainly a listening government and try to keep in the groove. But it's up to the national collection bodies to decide what objects they want to acquire."

...the missing words are "...but as usual, we won't take any notice" after "listening government"
