Pete S Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Anyone know how much I should ask for a real one of these in EX condition - I do know it's one of the toughest US Tamla's...any advice gratefull accepted
Glynthornhill Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) pete, Maybe helps - I don 't hold 100% faith in Goldmine's R & B value guide but 2002 edition rated it at $100 NM. Suppose you could double that in 2009 . Never seen one when searching popsike or collectors frenzy - only the uk issues. Edited June 3, 2009 by glynthornhill
Guest carl_p Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 saw a clean one about 5 years ago it sold about $800. i've only seen one or two others since but cant recall the prices. mine is a used stock copy so it probably did get a small pressing. probably not as rare as some.

As copys have known to change hands for 4 figures on the motown collectors scene according to him. He was absolutley stunned that he got it so cheap ! Moss
Pete S Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks for the info everyone. Any offers welcome on this item!

Motown anoracks regularly disscuss weather this 45 got withdrawn from being issued at the initial pressing stage in the usa. Is that why it is a real rare USA motown piece ?????????????? Funny how they gave it a proper release over here ! Who knows, but it is shit rare on a USA 45 innit! And good look with the sale Pete !

Moss We've had two copies of this 45 in the last 10 years. The first was sold to a Detroit collector renowned for having the world's finest Detroit collection for over £1000 in 1999. The one we auctioned in 2008 a Mint - vinyl but writing on the label, went for £614 so the guy was very pleased with the price he snagged it for. But there's no mention of condition? Does it have a drill hole? Label condition? without a BB hole it is much more desirable.

Marc Forrest Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Not picking it up til tomorrow but I'll stick some scans up straight away. One went recently thru ebay for very little money...haven`t saved it though but it was definitely too cheap...says a man who still needs this copy...
