Sure, the Claude Baby Huey has shot up a bit in value over the past couple of months, but £100 surely is a piss take. £50 perhaps, but not £100. Good track.

Haven't got an issue copy myself, but the flipside on that is supposed to be "Let's Get Together" according to the Atco label listing.
I think that CM just made a typo.
I have used Gramofonove Zavody (GZ Digital Media) in the Czech Republic in the past when I've done small runs of 45s (200-500 copies) and they've always been easy to work with and reasonably cheap even when doing small runs. Check them out:

Not quite sure about the value of the Lee Tillman, but don't think it should be too much. There's another version of this track by The Delacardos available on both Q-City and Atlantic which I think is far superior and the Atlantic issue should only cost you £10-£15-ish. Just heard it here again and can't understand why I don't play it out more. Fantastic stomper. Here's an RA of Delacardos:
If you can settle for a "reissue"/bootleg... why not make one yourself? The tune is included on an official UK CD compilation, get that or ask someone to rip it for you. Then go to www.vinylcarvers.co.uk and get them to cut a one-sided copy for £15. You'll have it within a week.
For those of you interested in the development of DJ-ing culture and the music genres associated with it... there's a book called "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life - The History Of The Disc Jockey" written by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton that I highly recommend. It's not perfect, but it's a very good book spanning the years between the first turntable and right up until the early 2000s. Should be £7.99 in any good UK book store.
Perhaps:
Leon Austin - Steal Away
If so... released on King (#6291), produced by James Brown, and it's a cover of the Jimmy Hughes tune (although very different).
It was booted a while ago on a King 45, with some Marva Whitney track on the flipside.
I really like the 20th Century version as well. An entirely different approach to the tune and more of a ballad. Plus it's got a nice Hi-ish mid-tempo tune on the b-side entitled "Just Your Fool". You need both 45s.
Here's a link to the copy I sold on eBay a while ago (where label scans and soundfiles can be found):

Don't think I've ever seen a vinyl copy of the Innovation II release, only styrene copies. The International Music Bag copies are pressed on vinyl and sound fine to me. Nice record indeed!
