Another point to be added is that the acetate shows handwritten release numbers...which none of the original Jobete acetates had. As an acetate is normally done before the release, obviously no one would be able to know already the release number...this plus the known facts about the company itself (year of foundation etc.) lets me to believe that this acetate is as much authentic as the one from the same manufactory that had J.D. Bryant (Washington) on one side and another big (Detroit) rarity on the other side...that was on ebay some years ago... As the seller had some great early Detroit 45s up for auction I tend to imagine that the guy he bought the stuff from had this plate done to fill the gap in his collection as the Contours and especially Chico Leverett are two really dog rare Motown pieces. I bought my Chico about seven years ago and never saw another one...talking of rare Motown items I am really surprised to see that Saundra Mallet is still only at 10 UKP .... rarer as the Contours IMVHO (no matter which of the two released versions).

Well, reminds me on the last record fair I did over here...deejayd the night befor eto be woken up by the door bell at 8 in the morning...no breakfast nu lunch...only STANDING behnid my records...the table next to me sold a reocrd every five minute (East German -GDR- pop 45s...) and me I did not even sell one single 45! Suddenly I sold one at 15 Euros...only to hand over the money to the promoter the next minute for the table rent...never again. I prefer to go with me beloved one on sunday for a walk across town and wood... Marc

UPDATE

...don`t want to sound harsh, but are you sure on the price ? Please don`t get me wrong, I may have missed my water on that but always thought of a different price on it ? ? ?

....AND IT REALLY WAS A STEAL AT ONLY 75 UKP ! !

I could be well wrong with that thought but as I said I always thought he has got it. But having said that he`s got so many blinding things that he is not (yet?) playing it could well be that he is also not playing "his" Genebro 45. Who knows. Marc

Well I do know that Arthur is playing it at the moment...and I always thought Butch had one too although he isn`t playing it (but that does nth say with that man LOL!) Marc

Was it really around 7000 ? Could well have been seven years though (my oh my time is flying by..) Marc

Uh, didn`t realize that...on his website, list or ebay ? Marc

I think Tim Borwn had the only copy until one (beatin) copy showed up on ebay some years ago ? Marc

Margaret Little Well, two already in the UK before that one cartain Detroit seller had two people coming in his shop day after day each with a copy of said title. We all know that they ended up on ebay (the same week even, wasn`t it?). So probably four plus copies now. Marc

Well, can`t see the Tranells being a 4000 UKP 45 but I understand that there are people willing to pay that sum...and it definitely (at the moment) is rarer but the result with Joe Jama really had me for a while...I mean it never sold for anything near that on ebay...

A bargain compared to Joe Jama last night at 3050 sth UKP

Well, exactly last night I was compiling a new list of things to sell and I had to struggle wether to put this in or not...I finally had to put the 45 back on the shelf so good is it!

I once had that, I will see if I still do...I`ll get back to you tomorrow (in case just remind me please) Marc
