..and what a nice pciture of the group was published within this sale! If an original
copy of that would be coming along the 45 the price would have been somehow justified..
...and if you don`t find it look out for Roy Butler on Boo....even better version
....in the meantime you could also try to persuade me to part with my mint Zodiac copy
Yes, but no, but yes...but Johnny Howard for example always was "rarer" as 45s like the Dealers. The Dealers -a great 45 no doubt- is never ever rare enough to justify anything more then 50 UKP top IMO. Even when I was young this 45 was still around in quantities and used to demand 5 UKP...
Jimmy Soul Clark "Tell Her"...another timeless Rare Soul 45 that was (and to my knowledge still is) 5 UKP...wonder who will re-activate this and what price tag it will then demand LOL!
Don`t understand the last part of your sentence as the results of both -ebay and manship- of course in most cases do include more then one single person (as is the idea behind auctions anyway)? Prices are a result of demand and supply and if a second person is willing to pay more surely the "new" price is what the highest offer will be. having said that a record is only worth what the next buyer is willing and prepared to pay for it anyway.
No problem at all, you have all my sympathy for having wanted a 45 badly enough to have paid whatever it did take. Furthermore my respect for having the balls to stand up in public and admit it was you. There was no offence meant thats why I used ";-)"
Bob, you are being serious ? wow, always loved it and thought it to be very rare..but at these prices...jeeezz. Going to be another impossible want (for me) then.

Didn`t realize it was THAT rare....
Seem to remember I sold my second and last copy (sold the first 13 years ago) three+ years ago for 250 UKP...must admit I did not realize any kind of "hype" on said record until this very recent ebay auction. Which was result-wise indeed frightening...to say teh elast. So since when has this become such an expensive indemander ?

At a wild gues they are mainly aimed at the Funk and R&B crowd, especially the young(er) DJ´s and collectors who can`t afford or don`t want to hunt down the originals and/or want to play safe with tested "killers". AlbertWashington/Finch, Gloria Irving/Charm and other semi-known tunes plus such R&B oldies as Charles Sheffield (second repress already!) make me do believe so..
Although the amount of recently bootlegged R&B, early Soul, Titty shakers or what ever you wanna call them 45s is almost frightening I believe that the amount of re-pressed and booted Jump Blues, DooWop and R&B 45s from the ealy Seventies to mid eighties still is much bigger.
It never was safe to buy blind if you didn`t do your homework IMO.

Which, if I remember correctly was cracked by one certain NYC based radio jockey who was lend the 78 to play at his show...a one off until some ten/twenty years later another copy had been found.
wouldn`t say rare...more a case of being indemand and therefore expensive. Had 1 demo and two issues over the years, so maybe the demo a tad "rarer". By the way Tommy, I remember having aired this four years ago at the LIDO for the first time...as you know the place very well you may imagine how said tune worked at that place. Fabulous.

Hi Markus, I once had four copies of the Monorays on Astra, funnily all with differently coloured vinyl, golden, green, blue and black. All but one gone.
BUT, theres one on the recent Anglo American list at 100 UKP.
