The guy had 20 - all sold as the buyer listed terribly with NO mention of soul or funk in the listing. It was an estate find from Lennie Lecour. He had multiples of Harvey Scales Trackdown and Mar J's too. He auctioned the last one because everyone kept asking him for more copies at £160 a pop. The flip is of more interest to northern fans but the won;t you forgive side has been getting played by Mick H, Dave Abbott, marc and Gospel Bob to name a few. I playe dit at the 100 on Saturday just to see how it would go down and it got a surprisingly good reaction. I think it will do well on the mod scene. Asked the guy if he had Trying to Survive or CODs but he didn't have the latter and only a couple of the former - all now sold.
They definitely weren't selling at 2-3 per day. The guy selling had little to no knowledge of the funk soul market as you can tell by the listings, although he responded to me plenty. All his other listings outside of this Magic Touch find was stuff like baseball cards and other weird shit. Would explain why he kept selling them at buy it now for £160 (or $250) instead of auctioning each copy as the seller with the 40 or 50 Four Tracks did.
According to people on old threads on here this was once thought to be the very rarest Magic Touch 45? Prior to this little find asking prices on the scarce copies around was £500 (Anglo American) and £750.
Wonder if he will find a big old box of anything else??
