It has been around 1k in recent times, over priced at that IMO. For it to suddenly rise almost four fold is just barmy.

All I can say is some of you don't know the UK scene as well as you think. If you think there will be much different you are seriously mistaken. Yes some clubs and pubs might shut but the promoters, long term and Johnny come lately, serious and divvy alike will find somewhere. There is plenty of evidence on social media of little change with people chomping at the bit with venues up and down the country up and running, out not following the guidelines and laws that are in place.

Have to agree it isn't rare, stupid price really for a record that has had its day IMO, extremely over played.

Kin ell that’s barmy. I’d have said a grand tops.

Makes two of us Andy. Think you can trace where we are now back to the mid 70s. At least the 80s took it back underground.

Virtual Dj, you could change the pitch/speed of the vocal whilst leaving the backing alone. Used to be free.

Divvyland? Don’t talk stupid

Russ hasn’t claimed to be has he? It has been underground at other times though, not just the beginning. It will never return underground, its gone to far into divvy land, far too commercial. The nighter scene as we know/knew it is diminishing as the years pass and age creeps up on those left. But it doesn’t stop people getting misty eyed and yearn for what we once had.

The scene will never go back underground with a hard core of dedicated broad minded soulies, quite the opposite. The scene provides a platform for the divvies, the ordinary and the idiots, people who would get no acceptance elsewhere getting to be someone just by splashing a bit of cash.

Things will return to some sort of normal next year, we will either have a vaccine or have to live with it. We cannot keep businesses closed forever, people have to work despite the risks. peoples behaviour will be no different either, you only have to see how people behave now, as if nothing ever happened. At the end of the day, the risk to the majority is minimal. The fit and healthy have it seems largely little to worry about. The unhealthy, overweight, unfit will have to start and do something about their lifestyles. Those with underlying issues will have to take what precautions they can but we cannot stay in lockdown forever. A lot of lives are being wrecked now through unemployment and more likely.

Ron Murphy got it from a former ARP Plant manager, sold it to Martin when he sold up and Martin later sold it to Kenny.

yes of course but given the info available and the scarcity of some of the records he looks dodgy, unless a reliable person was to come forward who could vouch for the seller then I wouldn't touch him with yours Dave

Looks dodgy and asking for F&F always raises suspicion

Who is the seller, link to sales?

That’ll be a west coast press with delta number probably

Tim B sez STOP PRESS - Frank Wilson sells for a million quid! Yes its my copy... and Paul Pugba just couldn't resist. I handed it over with a full face mask and tongs used for handling enriched plutonium borrowed from Sellafield. TikTok was not present. Despite comments from other sources he knew it played okay as he was at the Ritz 'Rarest Of The Rare' allnighter when I played it in front of 1200 people. P.S. Smile alert, smile alert, smile alert... some of the above is true, some of it is false. Apply your own common sense. P.P.S. And as reported in the Daily Sport... Pugba is quoted as saying, "with this and Leicester Tipped-'un going for £500,000 I will be applying for a hefty wage increase at Mancaster United'. (T.B.)

Is it vinyl or styrene, the photo looks like vinyl and is it a stamp or etched?

I understood what Ady was asking. Pretty obvious when on a site for a rare soul scene

You mean Tommy on the original, nah sounds nowt like him to my ears.

I very nearly used the "C" word but being a forum I remained "polite"

It is uncredited and the songwriters and notably New York artists don;'t know either. Its covered as Chuck Jackson but I think it sounds more like Ben E King (compare it with Getting To Me). I don't think the Signatures and this record should ever be mentioned in the same sentence, fcuk a good fanny up they would.

So all three definitely recorded before Motown took ownership of Myto and Wingate’s labels.

JJ’s version isn’t the first and recored before Motown (Darrall Banks the original I think but stand to be corrected) acquired Myto presumably so publishing would stay with the original company The same for the other two I guess without looking up the dates, Melvin is 1966 same year as Motown bought Wingate (Sept 1966).
