Tony Turner Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 No, surely not Mark? It's brill, I was ecstatic when I bought my copy from Ian Clark in the late 80's at Peterborough. I think it was the princely sum of £25. I remember hearing Roscoe Shelton-You're The Dream and Benny C. Oliver-Make It Now for the first time on the same night.

Makes you wonder how many he has exactly ? I personally wouldn't risk more than I could afford to lose on it, since theres a serious chance of it turning out to be another Danny Moore or Royal Esquires - so $300 would be my top bid.

The seller should sell them now for a fair price and not keep trying to fleece collectors. Surely he has had his moneys worth selling approx 100 copies or so last couple of years?
