not 200 thats for sure

[Patto]

Yes its unreal.

I've got a Demo copy,one of my all time faves and would never part with it but to be honest i thought it was worth about £100 and an issue around £75.Things are going  crazy at the moment

not so much better dave.... its longer. the usa is edited and is 3.04 long.  the uk copy says 3.04 but actually plays the same as the album version and clocks over 4 minutes

 I know that Dave, I've still got the UK copy that I bought as a new release.

But I still think the sound reproduction is better on the UK release.

Looks like my £3 at Sheffield KGB in about 77 was a good investment It's the version to have imo.

And how many more copy's has Jason got? Must have listed at least 1/2 dozen already this year (know that as I've bid on a couple of them but to no avail).

[Dave Pinch]

 I know that Dave, I've still got the UK copy that I bought as a new release.

But I still think the sound reproduction is better on the UK release.

yeh probably as uk vinyl is better than usa.. i had the uk copy years ago but had a usa one for the last 10 years..a bit more noise on it even tho the plastic is clean

[Dave Pinch]

he`s had more than a dozen..been listen them for 18 months ...but none seem to be mint

[macca]

Aren't the Skullsnaps popular with Funk collectors..?

[Wiganer1]

the us  issue is the one to have - looks absolutely gorgeous..

[Patto]

Don't Know about that Mark what could be better looking than this

 

[Tobytyke]

Update............... now £322! whoever is bidding is not reading this thread or thinks we havent a clue!

[Benji]

I'm confused, always thought there isn't a US 45 release for "my hang up"??? Or was it for "I'm your pimp"???

[TOAD]

Pimp benji only a boot

[Benji]

Thanks

[Frankie Crocker]

Does the leading bidder know the US version is easily obtainable? There have been several on eBay in the last year, but not in mint condition, going for reasonable money. Great shame I'm Your Pimp never got a US release on 45rpm. I can remember chatting to Russ in his Wigan store about the possibilities of a double A side release but this sadly never came to pass on UK vinyl although the opportunity must have been there. The Skull Snaps also have another decent release listed in Manship #6 as a DJ copy, but Didn't I Do It To You has turned up a couple of times as a light- brown issue. The Skull Snaps, like some other big late 70's artists, seem to be in demand again recently judging from  the competitive bidding.

All the brown issue copies of 'Didn't I Do It To You' I've seen have a DJ stamp on them - did it get a proper release

 

Re - 'My Hang Up Is You' it's quite possible people are bidding on it for the flip side which was the in-demand track for funk collectors - either way it's still a ridiculous price

He has sold minters, about 3yrs ago i recall. And by no means do i think they were his last.

 HI ALL  proper value £30 issue, promo £50 tops, I bet no one on this site can make it over a ton,  DAVE K

I think issue £50 demo £75 but agree with the second part of the statement.  Nobody on this site is daft enough to pay over a ton.

[Sebastian]

:hatsoff2:I bet no one on this site can make it over a ton,  DAVE K

 

I sold a M- UK issue of Skull Snaps on ebay in May this year for $192.50 / £115-ish.

 

Five different bidders over $150 (all from the UK).

 

I was as surprised as anyone.
