Andy got the one that came from Barry James and was going to Ian Cunliffe originally. Brian Wakelin from Blackpool found the copy in Blackpool. That went to Sam. Correct Chalky Mark had it at his disposal to play years before I got it ... As you said in a later post, and I'll interpret your words, he has so many great records so where would he have found the time to introduce it ... He didn't really need to add it to his playlist as it was more than good enough already andy 1
Jim G Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 JM has a copy up for auction now: https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/arthur-willis-soul-dynamics-the-hurting-is-over-i-ve-got-to-find-a-way-mars-la-tour-mlt-2051.html
Billy Jo Jim Bob Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Manship played it at Ashby on Sunday. Just to add to the label listing. A bit more country music...
Mick Boyle Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Worth every penny. Go on throw your life savings at it
Tomangoes Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Its like a double header...play at a Northern night or a ska night... 20 days to go. Gotta be up at £7k by then. Or you could buy a nice 200 decent OV collection for the same money with an odd rarity thrown in. Ed 1

I just played the audio clip on Manship's site to remind me of the tune and I stick to what I said almost 10 years ago (see above). Awful singer. How this attracts 5K+ bids I just can't get it. Some records are rare for an obvious reason. They're shite.............. 4
Woodbutcher Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Can think of lots of things to spend this kind of money on , but this awful racket sure ain't one of them , I assume that Master Manship chucked in a big box of Kleenex in with the 45 as the new owner will be needing one and not just for wiping away the tears when his next bank statement arrives ..... ! I'd rather add 1062.2 ten quid tunes to my box than this single 45 ... Edited March 20, 2019 by WoodButcher 2
Frankie Crocker Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 £10,622 finishing bid on Manship’s auction confirms this is an extremely rare record and a highly desirable one to boot. I for one have enjoyed it out in public when fortunate to hear it spun. I would be more than pleased to own a copy as it is a great sound. The new owner is indeed a very fortunate person.
Woodbutcher Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 He could have had a copy in much better condition for a lot less so not so fortunate methinks.

Sure, the condition could be bettered but where will this spare copy be found cheaply? The buyer is fortunate to have the money and be in a position to make the purchase. Ultimately though, it is an achievement to own records like this. 1

Liamgp Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Must ask my contact in the Carolinas, who is forever finding stuff in thrift stores, to keep an eye out for this one.
Wheelsville1 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Steve Jefferies had one for sale last year in really nice condition 10k.Personally I love the record. Chris.
Chalky Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, Agent45 said: So anyway, we're up to what - five copies now? There was at least four copies by 2009, been the same again at least since then. One from States recently, this one from John which is apparently a new one to the market. Be nearer double figure IMO if not more. 3 hours ago, LiamGP said: Must ask my contact in the Carolinas, who is forever finding stuff in thrift stores, to keep an eye out for this one.

Marc Forrest Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 6 copies now I know of and who owns them, 4 in the UK. Dont know where last nights copy is going to, maybe back to the States. If it stays in the UK its 5 copies then in the UK. 2 of them whole 6 came from the same source (in the States). This auction copy I believe was also recently found in the States (different source than the aforementioned 2).

Chalky Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) The one Steve Jeffries had, is that the 2016 ebay sale copy or another? Didn’t he have Sam’s for sale too?

I think the other releases immediately round it are 1962 its a stereo 45 so id say around 1970..i`d be surprised at 1975.. but not early mid 60s for sure
Dave Pinch Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 the stan z cole 45 is a comedy record ..the november 1972 being the release date.. its on MLT 2064.. The releases all seem to fall in line.. i would estimate 1970 or even 71 for athur willis

Either way, absolutely, 100% not a 60s record.
