Christopherbirch Posted December 28, 2023 Author Posted December 28, 2023 I wonder, it'll be interesting to see how long it stays on the market.

Do we have to suffer another m month of this record on here 7
Gary Brickwood Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 It don’t matter really what Lee paid for it, it’s what it’s worth to you to own it! Only a select few will be in the market for this rare record and sometimes you just have to have it!! Good luck to all involved

Popular Post Shinehead Posted December 28, 2023 Popular Post Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) He paid crazy money for it , holy grail record more like holy f**k not again. Edited December 28, 2023 by Shinehead 5
Popular Post Happy Feet Posted December 28, 2023 Popular Post Posted December 28, 2023 It should go to Auction really , one of those starting at 99p , which would probably reveal it's true worth , or demand at this present time . 4
Popular Post Shinehead Posted December 28, 2023 Popular Post Posted December 28, 2023 It must be the most heard rare record ever made I could go in any local pub playing piped music and hear it every time I went in and i know it's time for a p*** when it comes on , i honestly do not see the point in wanting to own it. 4
Mike Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Ok sales info passed on , shall we leave it at that till/if sold? 1
Gary Brickwood Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Good luck to the seller and hopefully new owner!
Mark B Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 I honestly can’t see it selling for anywhere near that I think he may be stuck with it 2
Seano Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Seems it is the same copy that Kenny Burrell played when Banbury Soul Club was held at the North Newington sports clubhouse. @Eddie Hubbard holding it in the photo from November 2005. 2
Happy Feet Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) If only Berry Gordy and the rest of the " shall we release it or not crew " had said yes , it wouldn't have ever got this far , great tune when first played ,10k copies later bootlegs Eddie Foster c/u ,TM decide to release it in the UK , Clarkie was buying up as many UK demo's available to send to the US , everybody who wanted it had already bought a copy , Another bootleg this time with an instrumental, countless reissues & " Test Pressings " why is this Holy Grail unwanted so soon after the record news breaking price , why would you would put it back on the market so soon , makes you wonder , has somebody found a few more ??? purely speculation of course ,but these days nothing would surprise me ."Pops , We Love You " lol Edited December 28, 2023 by Happy Feet Spelling error
John Siret Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 What I do find strange is the gushing to own this record from the previous buyers. Then they sell it within a couple of years. 1

Soulman58 Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 If I had 150,000K to spare I could buy 1,000 £50 singles or LPs and a new car and have £50k left for a new holiday. Why would anyone dream of spending that much on one single even if they do rate it? Madness IMHO

I do agree regarding greed. Money seems to be motivation rather than the love of the record which they eulogized after buying. Was including Kenny Burrell as much as this fella. 2

Leicester Boy Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 He's a business man making money, he has no interest beyond the money but that's his perogative . Hope he doesn't drop it.

Greedy Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 I know that we have heard this record so many times and yes I think it is totally over priced, I think it has been since Kenny sold it.. but if it had never been booted or reissued and we so rarely got to hear it.. I think these comments would be totally different. Its not a bad record we've just heard it too much. 1

Lots of worse stuff out there but that's a different topic.
Gary Brickwood Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 I personally think that Lee is testing the water to see what could really be achieved for this record.. if money isn’t a problem then you might have a deal for bragging rights .. honestly If it was mine and I wanted out of it I’d be happy to take a small profit on it or even get my money back!! Opinions we all have them !!
Simon T Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 yes I am a cynic, but it wouldn't be the first time an over-priced item is 'sold' for an even greater price to an 'anonymous buyer', but never leaves the building. 1

Opinions we all have them !! But I thought that it was unanimous understood that when Lee "won" it from JM's auction for a staggering figure of 98K it was only for the vanity narrative of it... Presumably for the "love" of the track... With a father to son tale... And a protocole 'movie' to go with the record handling from the seller to the buyer. Never to be sold again for such worth (not even mentioning a profit) as it was already ridiculously overpriced. When Kenny bought it from Tim early 2000 or so back then many thought 15K was already an 'overkill'... Years later Kenny strike luck with a successful "smart drink" company's profit bid on JM's just below 100K !!! Who will save Lee from such shameful investment now ? Am not certain Motown freaks can afford that. Some Chinese or Emirate investor maybe ? As most here have pointed many will "ban" the dance floor (like many did when Kenny played it back then) if ever an "ambitious" dee-jay plays it. Even more so this copy !

Wasn't £98k, was much less than that, I've heard less than 50k
Gary Brickwood Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 theses prices are unbelievable.. I’m not going to disclose what Lee actually paid for the record but theses figures are ridiculous it was definitely a lot less.. honestly good luck to him whatever he gets for it now
Davey S Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 Don't understand why he'd want to sell it on anyway considering how much he paid for it unless he's skint . Best way to find that particular records current value is to stick it in auction. 1
Soul Salad Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 Internationally there is VAST amount of wealth out there, and a lot of multi-millionaires and billionaires - it just takes one of them to have a bit of interest in either general record collecting/N Soul etc then it becomes a bit like me buying a Twix or a Milky Way. To a few, money becomes irrelevant. Hate to say it but probably will sell. PS The above is NOT me

Kenny had already sold it on to another lad (£25,000?)via a JM auction.Lee purchased it "outright" from the other lad and JM acted as the "conduit",as he put it...

OK, good to know. What I remember is at the very first 'Togetherness Week Ender' (and my last) Kenny Burrel's spot was full of rare fantastic tunes. I admit to that. But with the alleged rumors of splashed-out money to acquire all those easy peasy it gave me an unpleasant after taste to it all. So I just sat and listened to that 'rare soul orgy'... Not my kind of dee-jay spot to be honest. A bit 'look what I got' and / or rather 'impersonal' if you ask me. Of those I've heard enough for too long. To a bore and more. Such spoiling of great records independently has something almost nauseating. 2

Given the prices on his old man’s site it ain’t so ridiculous Also there was a newspaper article with a picture of him holding the record and stood next to a Ferrari and it stating he had paid 100k for the record,sure it was early last year? 1

Gary Brickwood Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 Someone will buy it but maybe not for £150k I mean it’s not really an investment 1
