Most Expensive Record In The World......Ever!

Post by 6anbatte »

Anyone who wasn't watching the auction for Frank Wilson’s 7" "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" may be *amused* to learn it eventually went for £25,742!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a cracking record though, wish I had a vinyl copy! You would have to do a good few Northern Soul all-nighters to recoup the investment though...

It doesn't seem to be an economical crisis for some ;-)

Well....
The most expensive record... Maybe not:
http://www.roots-archives.com/forum/rea ... 922,page=1
Ending bid: 19201GBP

But maybe if u divide the tunes on the Beatles-album with the value, the Wilson 7incher is worth more.... per song??

Not sure what you mean. "Do I Love You" went for 25,742GBP, whereas the Beatles album went for 19,201GBP.

(Equivalent of - 38,079.08 USA dollars, 28,562.47 euros, 52,285.85 Australian dollars or 3,694,524.21 yen....apparently!)

There was a Velvet Underground acetate that sold for more - think around 50,000US.

Think that Frank Wilson is over -produced (sounds too much like a track from a musical IMO. Wouldn't buy it for $5 ceterus parabus.

Hence the reason I referred to it as a *record*. :)
