The actual 'original' disc is rumoured to be worth several thousand pounds because there are only two known copies in existance.

The prices quoted here will be for subsequent releases, the availability of which is reflected in their price, you if you had a true 'original' copy you would know, and it would be in a bank vault somewhere.

That record is considered one of the rarest (and therefore priciest) records in the world. Originally only 500 demos of Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) were pressed on the Soul label in 1965. For some reason almost all of these were destroyed but a few survived and were found in a warehouse years later. One of these was sold in the late 90s for �15,000. There have been lots of re-releases but the original 7 inch, 45 rpm version is the rare one.

If you happen to have a copy, please disregard all of the above and I'll give you a fiver for it ;-)

Wouldnt mind an original pressing myself!!
What a tune!

Was it Winstanley who, in a fit of exclusivity and one-upmanship, took to covering up the original's label so's no one peeking over the DJ Booth could procure a copy for themself?
Sooper, you're right - WHAT a tune.

Actually Screamin Tree, this practice was common amongst most of the Northern DJ's, especially those who had travelled to the US and brought back obscure sides bought for cents each, and sure to start a 'must-have-it!' competition in the clubs back in the UK.

Equally comon was announcing a track with a fictitious title and / or artist, which sent people off on fruitless searches of record stalls and shops.

Ahhhh, those were the days!
