Dave Thorley Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Many years ago, must have been the end of the 70's at one of the later Yates.Tim Ashibend had about 10 copies of this for sale for about £20-£30. I only bought one. But there again a few years earlier I got 20 copies of Ty Karim, Lighten up, Romark. Thought bugger wrong version and spent the next few years giving them away free to mates how came round my house. Dave Greet still has the one I gave him and reminds me of it every time he plays it. Just think, have seen both of these sell for close to £1000 in the last few years Would make a weaker man turn to drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And who needs an excuse to turn to drink. Only 4 hours until I finish work. Can't wait for a pint. It's been a long hard slog today. Thanks also go out to Gene-R for his initial valuation.

Eamesy Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 FOUR TRACKS - LIKE MY LOVE FOR YOU - MANDINGO One of my favourite records ever, cant afford a copy, but absolutely the dogs whatsits IMO. Alan
Quinvy Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Aything between £700 - £1,000. and the rest. Went for way over that on Manships auction a while back. The link to his auction hasn't had any prices on for a while, but I'm sure it was over £1300. I was trying to buy it myself so that's why I remember.
Mark Bicknell Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I got one neh, neh, neh!!!!!!!! serious now has to be one of my all time favorite records....awesome. Mark Bicknell.

I know who bought it and you are right - think it was c 1400 or something. That copy resides with a well known and respected collector up north.
Ted Massey Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I got one neh, neh, neh!!!!!!!! serious now has to be one of my all time favorite records....awesome. Mark Bicknell. I saw it on Pat Bradys list mid 80's to my shame i did not know it he said you will like it best £25 spent Ted
Rich Buckley Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I remember late 80s Rob Wigley finding 3 of these. Him and Rob kept a copy each and the third went on their La Beat Records list for £40. I rang up as soon as received the list, but he'd already had a shed load of calls - agghh! Rich

Whilst I did on occasion get my mam to ring up when I had to be in school early (!!) it was I who called in this case! Seem to remember Manship had auctioned one round about the same time and got fairly silly money for it at the time. Class record though and well worth whatever it makes.. Rich

Rich JM got around £1300 I recall for a less than mint copy. Still on my wants list if anyone has one for sales
Garethx Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I may be the lone voice of dissent on this topic but I have always loathed this particular record. A dull, insipid and uninspired mess with a harmonic structure more suited to light entertainment shows than to soul music. An instrumental cut would make a great theme tune for the "Wonky Dog" cartoon character.

It's one of those I got sick of hearing, seem to hear it at every venue Dunno why it still retains such a high price either, quite a few out there and fair few turned up not so long ago. Seemed to be a regular fixture on e-bay for a while.
