    Apparently went for over £100K!!

    World's most valuable 7in record Do I Love You bought by Market Harborough man


    The sale price beat the single's own record set in 2009

    The northern soul 45, Do I Love You, by Frank Wilson, is now owned by 38-year-old Lee Jeffries.

    The sale, brokered by Melton rare vinyl dealer and auctioneer John Manship, was for an an undisclosed sum - but it was revealed that the record went for more than it did when it was last sold, 11 years ago.

    In 2009 the disc fetched a record-breaking £25,742. It was sold by DJ Kenny Burrell to a businessman and investor from the north east of England who wanted to remain anonymous.

    It was, and remains, the most expensive seven inch 45rpm labelled record ever sold.

    John said: "In 2020 I was approached by Lee Jeffries asking if it would be possible for me to get in touch with the owner of the record and persuade him to sell it.

    "After some negotiations, and an offer from Lee that couldn't be refused, I’m delighted to announce that a deal has been struck.

    "The seller was very satisfied with the return on his investment, and the price achieved underlines the fact that rare vinyl is not just an emotional or nostalgic purchase - it continues to be a solid commodity, even in these tumultuous times."
