[DISCODISK]

i knew this would go for a lot but even im staggered
FECK ME :lol:

[K-Bee]

LOL these auctions are getting totally out of hand!
No disc is worth $717!!

[sfbeary]

what could explain such an absurd price (except A LOT of drugs, of course . . . )

is this version any different than the lp?

was it a "classic" on the rare groove scene?

a promo-only mix?

?????

i tried looking for this auction, but couldn't find it.

Are you fuckin' serious??!!!!!!
I paid...two English pounds for that LP in 1992...I didn't recognise any of the tracks when I saw the thing in the shop - Just her name. When I got home and played it..."baby..." sounded vaguely familliar to me.

The people who pay that sort of sheckles are just outers!!!

That is ridiclous. Is it from Lover Fever and it is any different from the LP version? I can't remember a UK 12" selling for anything like that before!

[DISCODISK]

its not a special version at all but it was a promo but so what even a promo of this is not that rare,its plain looking too i have one, plain white label, artist/title stamped on plain white sleeve i also have a u.s white prelude 7" promo and on that you get the same long version so id have thought that more desirable
this guy is a big u.k dealer selling mainly northern soul im not going to mention his site here for two reasons bernie will be doing handstands in the garden and i wont give him the publicity as hes the only u.k dealer ive ever had a problem with, lets just say that the idiot who paid all this money for an excellent copy will probibly find that the record looks like somebodys eaten bacon and eggs off it :o but if anyone really wants to know this site p.m me and ill tell you
i and many others are constantly amazed at the prices people are bidding some other recent not so rare 7" disco records hes sold
the futures-party time man-philly int $320 :o
prince phillip mitchell-im so happy-atlantic $946 :o :o
and heres one for SFBEARY :P
brown sugar-the game is over-capitol promo $1057 :o :o
and LEATHERMAN/FORRRCE by contrast something that he sold for about the SAME price as gayle adams alfie davison-love is a serious buisness u.s 12" test press....which of the two would you have paid $717 for :lol: no contest !!

I'd have gladly paid for it with Leatherman's (or anyone else's money) for that matter, Discodisk - but not mine! The 7" I have will have to suffice. I think Leatherman found his quite cheap, anyhow. It was always a record I was looking out for - a northern dealer offered 'any record I wanted' in 1986 for it. He had serious contacts and records, so if he couldn't find it, I knew it was a hard one.

Sorry to be cryptic, but would this UK dealer with Gayle Adams have a surname akin to a 'male sailing vessel'????? :lol:

By the way, paying those prices in nothing short of foolery - I really don't get it - what is wrong with these people?

[bryanbergman]

madness - sometimes i've shelled out 50-60 bucks for a really hard 12 to find, but HELLO!!!!!!!

don't worry - it's just cause those poms don't get enough sun! ;-)
