Do you recall what the condition was of the £3.5k copy please? --- Now found it, 'VG++'

Interesting - was it sold online? Also, what was the date (this year?) and the condition, of that £2.4k one?

In such condition, that's a serious and surprise bargain for the buyer.

There was a Monique 45 that had been due to end tonight?

@ChalkyIt's often true - there's an interesting psychology involved at the root of that phenomenon.

Yes, well-remembered! I found that one while it was on auction. £1,407, from a UK seller. The vinyl is VG and the labels are clean. This Manship one is graded M- vinyl with WOL

The Cresa is a genuine rarity - 'Monster' is definitely an apt word. Last year it went for £5,016

It''s still fairly frequently available and pushed towards us collectors, at least on the q.t.

I've got loads of the old Manship sleeves throughout my collection. I often see one unexpectedly appear while I'm browsing through.

Brilliant, thanks.

£200 if NM, adjusting as usual, for a lesser condition

I was bidding on it myself, up to a point, as it was looking like a great opportunity to get a second copy, in fantastic condition and cheap. Then unfortunately, it crept above what I could justify paying for what would be a 'spare'!

That 'Mint' Bernie Moore went relatively cheaply, bearing in mind recent sales trends. Somebody won it at a bargain price.

Please let me know the details, if you have one for sale. Thanks.

An even bigger surprise to me was how Pat managed to successfully cover-up an already world-wide known singer's record, complete with the artist's 'signature' vocal traits, when he announced a Wilson Pickett record as being by 'Brother Louie Brown'. I think a number of factors have to have been involved in Pat's success, including addled minds at the time, due to drug use and the sound systems not being exactly state-of-the-art 🤣
