Just looked it up in a northern soul price guide ....on Despenza est £800 which is pretty good if you have a copy, but on WAND expect to have to pay £2000!
This was on Bradford market early 70's. 71 from memory!, First heard it on Despenza at Ian Levines house up in Blackpool around 1973.Did Ian Dewhirst or Julian Bentley pick up the Wand copy back then? I simply left it at 10p! as I didn't want to outlay that money unheard! FFS!!!!! Great tune!
@owzyafava , Julian Bentley has it on Despenza, I asked him to play it at a venue yesterday & asked which label he had it on, got to say he then played about £40K worth of records over the next half hour!!!
If this is a Wand issue being played, its different to the Despenza version in quite a lot of areas. The only guy I knew to get this was Mick Smith..... or was that Honey & The Bees..? another Wand anomaly!
Mick Smith does have a copy so with my copy there's two, but I'm told there are a few others but unconfirmed ownership. Not sure there's any difference, I should have played both version back to back before selling my Despenza copy.
Have seen copies on wand with Black writing too. I think in a discussion a few years back, the total known copies in the UK was 6. Still very rare! Now what about the supposed existence of a wand copy of "Carlena"??Supposed to have been floating around Wigan '75! Not seen that yet!
@trevskiman think the ones with the black writng must be the demo trev, personally never seen one of those, seen half a dozen issues with the red writing like the above copy tho'
this is a close one to call but i would say the BEST EVER and to think i had a chance to own this on wand for pittance if it wasnt for my ex wife wanting some nappies ........bitch
Awesome-never heard this one before.

Can't believe it, I had a copy of this on Wand when I was eighteen. Paid sixteen quid for it if I remember correctly!
