House Bros. [2022] - Shake (Original 1979 Version) [North Broad St #NBS008BL]

The latest vinyl release on Colin Law's North Broad St Records is an unreleased track "Shake" from 1979 by House Bros.. The flip side has the Al Kent Mix which was issued on Al Kent's Million Dollar Disco earlier in the year.

I wasn't sure whether this had been released yet or not as it has been floating around for a few weeks on promo / test pressing but, having just checked Discogs, it was released last month and is already selling from ridiculous amounts. One has sold for £150 and two are being advertised for £199.99 and €250.00  respectively! They were being sold originally by the label for £20! 

According to the date on the test pressing, it was released 10 Oct, and they are usually released before the main issues, and since then six have sold on Discogs with another two currently for sale within barely a month of release, so draw your own conclusions as to why some are buying vinyl, as it's obviously not to keep for themselves, thus depriving genuine buyers of obtaining limited edition copies at face value! As Grandmaster Flash said in The Message ... it's a jungle out there!

I'm sorry, it's ok, but it's not a £200 record in my book, I can think of far better records to spend my money on but there you go, rarity over quality one more time, but then again it's not particularly rare as around 300 have just sold! Madness!
