Oh my, I knew I had forgotten sth when I had to rush out of my office this noon...yes, loading up them snipers LOL!

https://cgi.ebay.de/w...E:B:WNA:DE:1123

Sure among the biggest bargains on ebay ever if not of this year. Yes, condition not the best BUT one hell of a rare record, rarer than his Vanessa 45 even and two awesome sides back to back!

Well, I got my minter at home but would have loved to get a spare for trades ... cheeky I know

Is this rarer than the Vendella's 45 Marc? There was a third one on a blue label up on ebay recently as well I think? Not sure if was the same artist though?

Yes, I would think so. Others seem to share this opinion. But both are extremely rare so it doesn`t really matter which is rarer, does it. Silly of me, excuse me. Haven`t seen a blue one and take it you do not mean KING rec. as in which case we would be indeed speaking about two different artists.

Sorry I don't get this how is it a bargain if it's fucked condition wise? the sound file sounds terrible.

i was watching it and listened to the sound files several times before deciding against bidding cos of condition.............you never know how much the first bidder was gonna go, and i just decided i had spent to much lately to take a risk on it being better when played on arrival..........would have made him an offer it it hadnt gone, .....thats e bay for ya.........ezzie

Hi Ezzie, I think that might indeed explain the low price. Must admit I didn`t had the time to listen to the soundfile as I was in a rush but would have done so before bidding as well of course. Still ebay has seen worse condition on less rarer records resulting on much higher prices.

Not nearly as rare as the above mentioned but still a nice price on this one:

Agree with you Mark, it sounded horrible, plus 2 cracks, for once the punters got it right and left it alone, rare or not some records deserve to be binned.

Just for the record, the seller mentioned one crack. Still worse enough of course.

Correct, should have read it again, instead of relying on the other night's memory.

One crack AND a warp...

i seen this record the week before as a buy it now with the same guy selling for $1999 , obviously he tried his luck and didnt succeed so then put it up for auction , great track but nackered condition!

Hi Marc, yes guess it doesn't matter really at this level of rarity

I think the blue/turquoise 45 i saw was one of the Savannah Int. 45s listed here by Sir Shambling, turns out from a cursory Popsike search its not a tough record:

The worst thing about your new hero: He plays hours and hours of this rare stuff when DJ`ing. Shame on you Marc, shame on you!

Badly scratched records you can`t play anymore are rubbish. Even if it`s the only known copy on this planet...

There`s a Devotions - Can You Explain/Do Do De Dop on ebay in the moment...but it`s kaputt! So what?
