Just giving notice that this is now back in my collection and will be for sale or trade very soon. DEAN COURTNEY - (LOVE) YOU JUST CAN'T WALK AWAY / BETCHA CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND - MGM 13776 ISSUE. Condition under bright light visually is EX minus, that's due to a few marks made by removal from sleeve. Play wise it is EX. I may be talking out of my arse but I honestly don't think you'll ever see another offered for sale and as a stock copy, it has to be up there with the Yum Yums as one of the very rarest issues. The minimum bid is £800, I've already been offered that. Trade wise I'd want at least £1000 in rare trades. cheers.

It's off the Great Disco demands lp sleeve

Just thought I would say a public thank you to Ray Mahoney for a superb lot of records bought from his sales list on here this week, not only did they arrive next day but the conditions are immaculate, the one VG+ is as good as most people's EX grade and it's a pleasure to deal with people like this, a one hundred percent recommendation from me.

And he's not kidding.

6 years ago now that was Ted, probably only 2 bidders as well!

He definitely mentions it in his Black Music column, 74 or 75, ahead of the game!

Yeah - I mean YES it is, big time, but not Northern?

Yes you're right that it's the wrong thread to discuss the merits of the record (unless of course you say you like it) so why not someone open a thread in Look At Your Box instead?

I would have thought anyone who prefers this to William Powell was the victim of a cruel medical experiment.

Take no notice Phil, it's a bloody forum not a kindergarten, if you don't like it you are perfectly allowed to say so, I also found it as dull as ditchwater, 20 years ago this would have never been played because it wouldn't have been deemed good enough - not as a Northern Soul record anyway, not saying it's a bad record but it's not a good Northern record.

No i know how you hear it, i was scratching my chin wondering how anyone could enjoy listening to that steaming pile of sh*t that's all

I was thinking exactly that - Grazing in the grass meets Tighten Up...in a cupboard

Hindsight is a fantastic thing but Manys The Slip used to sound FANTASTIC in the main room at Wigan with a thousand people clapping along to it.

I wondered that too

Still loads of nice ones left folks

It's true. You can't charge for postage now.

reissue also has bad print definition and sounds like sh*t. Hmm. I would make a joke here if it wasn't for the fact I've got one for sale
