I guess I will have to settle for my reissue and signed copy by the writer and the singer...

Top sound though if you could justify paying it.

Worth a lot more after that box of originals went up in smoke...

There’s been a few Tomangoes sold and in decent nick in recent times and some fetching a similar price, as Nick says not sure what the surprise is? Its not as rare as many make out either but its one of the best ever and will always have demand for it.

I will have to dig my copy out now...I agree that prices seem to have risen significantly over the last few years for all records ...however I don't see the market being maintained ....with possibly 5-10 years left before it collapses ...I see that all the big dealers are happy to auction records that they have stored & squirrelled away over the years...

Now if I can get that 100 box I sold to Tim Brown in 89 I would be happy ...LOL....

No surprises here. The record sold for 8K when Manny flogged his to a well known Stoke DJ a long time ago. So someone snagged a bargain here. Compared to the few on Popsike, this copy of the Tomangoe’s was vastly superior. My bid was ahead for a few days then wiped out by a couple of major players. Bidders with four and five figure feedback stats are big collectors or dealers and massive buyers. This is a real connoisseur’s record - a real growler that fits the template to near perfection. Well done to those who shopped for it back at the Casino as it wasn’t the most fashionable record at the time.

I'm not sure how many price crashes there have been since lets say 1977  but I do remember the one in the early 80s when top 500 rarities halved in price.

A mate of mine let his collection go for peanuts really. Everybody who sold up would have kicked themselves a few years later.

Move forward 35 years or so and its hard to see any let up in price rises never mind stabilisation.
