I assume your looking at Dance Vinyl Finder to get that track... go tell them to f*ck off. They've gotten SO greedy, prices used to be fair close to a year ago, now they just jack them up in hope some sucker will accutally pay that much. Go look on eBay if you really want it. It comes around once or twice a week. I wouldn't pay more than 25 pound, and thats pushing it alot.

haha yes, ure right I did :D

Well, I'll choose to belive you on that one :D

But I must admit my mind was doing the whole 'hmm it's expensive so it must be rare' deal :S

But god, I hate to say it, but if they had together forever on there for 75 I'd take it :S

anyway, thanks a lot, it was what I was kinda suspecting but wanted to check out :)

Well, I got mine at phusionrecords.com, it's in the USA, It's a white label and only one sided, for 14.99, like hell, I just wanted the tune to play, not the original.

We paid top $$ for it and it currently on ebay at £62.00 with 4 days left to go. The price of a record is only what it sells for. Copies have sold on ebay for £100+

Fair enough, I just think it's abit rediculous to spend that much money on one record. Each to their own though...

If people will pay that much for it then why sell it for any less?:)

i got the original JJ3 for 5 pounds.... and it's more than worth it just for destiny, which IMO kicks 99 red balloons anyday. destiny is a CHOOOOOOOOON by far!

drugs is not the answer... drugs? is the question... yes is the answer

buy some classics of todays hardcore, buy 2 and keep one in pristine condition u never know when they could become a rarity!

Why on earth would you pay so much for such an old tune? Or any tune come to think of it! Someone must have money to burn!

It's alot of money considering it isn't the proper hardcore version. The proper version was by Lewi Cifer which is about to be repressed with a new mix very soon

I agree.
That's way too much to pay for a record.
I also agree that Phusion is the best record shop in the US. I only llive about 15 mins from the store also. So, it's perfect for me.

Would think twice bout £75 but I did spend just under £30 on Vinylgroover - Time, the original on TWO. Think everyone has a tune that they would pay through the teeth for, like I would pay loads for Vinylgroover - Ravin' I'm Ravin'.
