anyone can pay whatever they want for anything they want, and good for the seller that he found a buyer, nobody is saying that this is not obscure. People like plenty of records that I hate and I don't say anything. This record doesn't sound like a soul record to me though, it's so far out there, it's just rock. Maybe it's "northern soul" but I don't see how someone call call this soul and I don't think I'm out of place on a soul forum saying so. I'm not trying to put people down for fun.
