For a real one and a demo at that , absolutely it is , hundreds of wannabees out there with £10 repros though , a highlight of every set from Mr Barnfather ...

There's a few proper ones out there but can't remember who has them and are DJing with them apart from Sam , but given that it's a demo , in near mint condition and that there were at least two deep-pocketed punters after it I wasn't overly surprised it rocketed , it was sitting at about £5000 at just before six 'o' clock and then took off.

I know of five poets mint copy’s in collections where they never/Dont dj,but that is the case of a lot of records out there! It’s easy to think that it’s just djs that have and play these sounds! Personally I don’t think there are many “actual” rare northern records,but raritie doesn’t always equal value,the word “rare” simply means to me how often it crops up for sale.

I like the Kim Weston on MGM 

I  had never heard that before 

really grows and builds , love it

I see it’s written by Willie Hutch

not really that many copy’s gone though e bay on Popsike either.

I take it that it has never had much DJ action 

Another overlooked gem ?

A great record, and yes another overlooked gem that used to get some plays in the glorious golden days of Northern Soul!
