Gasher Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 funny how it went from 6 in Goldmines blurb. "It's thought that six demo versions were made, and Gordy ordered them all destroyed. However, two copies did eventually surface." to the TIMES's "About 250 demo 45s of the record were pressed in 1965." 250 fukn loads of them out there..I'll wait until it drops top a fiver. the g man

Gasher Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 The other playable copy of the single belongs to Berry Gordy, the legendary founder of Motown. The disc is said to be kept in a temperature-controlled room at his home in Hollywood. WHERE THE FECK DID THAT COME FROM??? anyone clarify this..or is it BS? gasher
Guest mel brat Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 No such compunction about "trying to keep it in AMERICA" then? Why am I not surprised? Anyway, if the press are so interested, why don't they publish the results of Manship's auction every week - alongside the lottery numbers perhaps?
Gasher Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Just wait until Mannie auctions it and the winner at $1000000 is user name "Kiddiefiddler" then you know Wacko Jacko bought it. Off to Neverland it goes..back to the USA sorted gasher
Guest mel brat Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I suspect it may well end up in the V&A only to become subject to a heated dispute to "return it to the States" as a "cultural artifact", like the Elgin Marbles! Wait and see! Edited February 14, 2009 by mel brat

Jumpinjoan Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Stuart Cosgrove, the broadcaster and northern soul collector, has urged the Scottish government to intervene to prevent the rare pressing being sold to a foreign buyer. "Make no mistake about it. This is soul music's Titian moment," "A rare Titian has been saved . . . and the pressure is on the SNP to stand up for rare soul." FFS BEHAVE
ZapatootheTiger Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Mike Russell, the culture minister, said: "We are certainly a listening government and try to keep in the groove. But it's up to the national collection bodies to decide what objects they want to acquire." ...the missing words are "...but as usual, we won't take any notice" after "listening government"
