WOW is right John. Wish I owned that one.
Ralph - I was kind of hoping to own a copy too.....
a lot of talk about it on soul source. Apparently due for release on London but shelved at last minute....issued later by EMI Stateside. Demo copy [[ies) lifted from pressing plant by employee!
Not quite Mr Snakepit ... my understanding is that a number of Demos were sent out by London/Decca back in 1966 but until a few months back everyone on the U.K. Soul Scene believed that no regular/stock copies on London had ever been pressed up as EMI/Stateside obtained the rights to the release.
Certainly the demo version of the London release has been included in discographies for ages ... with Record Collector giving a guide price for a mint copy at £850 [[about US$1400) in 2008.
A scan of the London demo can be seen here .....

It seems that a handful of stock copies must have been manufactured and it was one of those that was "lifted" by some employee and has only recently been rediscovered.
I do have a good condition copy of the Stateside 45 which will have to do for now ....

just goes to show how much love that song has....
Darrell's is the best though.....agreed?
It's a great song, and I know that the UK London version is rare as hell...but if I had that kinda money, I'd pass on this so I can buy tons more other records...just sayin'...
Best,
Mark
Bidding is now £12,000 [[just under US$19,000) .. with 7 Hours and 39 minutes to go.
Roger
Less than an hour to go and now it is at £13,543.
Hmmmm .....
Roger
The final bid was £14,543 [[just under US$23,000), so it didn't quite surpass the FRANK WILSON record in the end.
Time to check those lofts and attics I think folks!!
Roger
"Sorry, this item has already been won!" I don't think so!
As I've just worked 3 weeks for Royal Mail as a casual Christmas parcel sorter, I sincerely hope this 45 isn't sent via parcel post...........believe me, FRAGILE means nothing.
I would give any would be record buyer a tip..........NEVER buy 3 weeks before Christmas.
