Really sad news.
The single biggest influence on my own rare soul listening and collecting habits over 40+ years. I won't be the only one either.

I also think it's a genuinely hard original to find. I wasn't around in the seventies so can only imagine what it must've been like going out and hearing things this good for the first time, and on a regular basis!
The day this stops floating my boat I'll offload the bleedin' lot. Proper record.

If you want anything
PM me and I'll confirm asap by PM

Needs must unfortunately so this monster has to go ☹️
Really, really nice copy of a hard record in any condition these days. Doubt you'll find a better copy than this
Two smallish handwritten asterisks on play side (think they're pencil actually) but nothing too dramatic as you can see.
£3,000 ONO (UK buyers only please)
I'll do Special Del

It's a complex discussion for sure as there's a looong history attached and so many facets to it, as others have already pointed out.
In response to the original question, rarity and / or value have never been of paramount importance to me personally and I guess the latter only really comes into it if you've bought records on the tenuous premise that they are a 'good investment', 'my pension' etc - that will certainly have borne a fair bit of fruit in recent years but seems highly unlikely in the longer term, for obvious reasons. If you're looking to invest knock yourself out but that's never been a motivation for me personally.
I think it's fair to say that rarity has always been a factor, during my time on the scene anyway- I first started going to nighters in the early eighties and have been out and about and collecting in some shape or form ever since. You start where you start then you delve a bit deeper and your taste broadens and maybe even evolves. With any luck, your income does too which means some of those things you could only ever dream of owning might actually be within reach. Why wouldn't ya? (I've done without plenty to buy records I've chased for 20+ years in some cases).
By the same token, the scene's demographic dictates that some people will have more disposable and, allied to how easy it is now to hear stuff and how the media bandwagon keeps on rolling, you get to a point where you can easily lose the will to live as you enter 'rare and overplayed' hell. (Gaz Kellet predicted that we'd be f*cked when you could hear the Magnetics walking round Tesco - ahead of the game as per 👍)
I get a bit grizzly about 'trophy dj's' and 'willy wavers' because it over simplifies things massively and seems to throw a blanket over one part of the scene that's always been integral to it in my experience. I'm sure there are folk out there who simply chuck money at established records and who play sets consisting solely of expensive records in no particular order. Crack on. If it makes you happy I'm happy for you but it's nothing to do with anything I want to be part of and is laughably unimpressive.
However, there's a whiff of an inference in 'willy wavers' and 'trophy djs' that anyone playing rare records is on the same page as those characters, has loads of money to slosh around, a huge ego and no idea and I don't think that's the case at all - just as it's entirely unfair to say that people playing so-called 'funky edged' or 'underplayed' sounds are all sporting that emperor's new clothes and do so only because they have no northern that's good enough. Again, it over simplifies things to a ridiculous extent and throws a blanket over people who are all shaped and motivated by different things (as well as some of the same things of course - I guess ego has always been a bit of a thing for djs hasn't it, kinda goes with the territory to some extent).
Personally, I think it's about balance. Do I want to hear sets full of expensive records for the sake of themselves, second rate 'funky' or stuff just because it's 'cheap', 'underplayed' or 'different'? I'd rather stop in with a curry (and do just that, increasingly).
Do I still get a real buzz out of hearing a really well put together set consisting of some tasty rarities, maybe even an 'exclusive' (God forbid), a sprinkling of 'thinking wo/man's oldies' and maybe something forgotten or even a bit left field? All day long. Always been the same.

Needs must, sadly, so the following up for grabs. All are very strictly graded and play great.
My grading rationale is that I'd rather people were happy and to not have to faff about with expensive 45s going to and fro in the post because I'd over-egged something. Money back if you're unhappy of course but I've erred on the side of caution and the grades are minimums I'd say. All pics were taken in bright light as you can see
Daybreak - I need love / everything man (PAP) strong vg+ SOLD
Blue Jays - (it depends on the) point of view (Jay) vg++ £1500
Top side label not ideal as you can see from the pics. Had it a couple of times over the years but never this clean
Intensions - she needs somebody / you say that you love me (USA) vg++ £1750
Slight discoloration on flipside label but a really nice copy of a great, rare record
Sweets SOLD
Payment & Postage
Paypal f&f preferred or, failing that, bnk transfer.
Records will be packed properly in mailers and posted Monday afternoon or Tuesday latest
P&P: £8.50 insures you for up to £500 and £11 up to £2500
(Once it's posted and you have the tracking it's out of my hands until you receive it)
PM if you want anything
Cheers
Phil
