This story goes out to all the real crate diggers out there…

An obscure single by an unknown UK breakbeat DJ has fetched a record-breaking £30,000 on the music collectors’ website Discogs.

A copy of Scaramanga Silk’s Choose Your Weapon was sold to an anonymous bidder for $41,095 (£30,079) in December, it was announced this week.

The 12-inch single, released in 2008, has now overtaken a rare copy of Prince’s Black Album — which fetched $27,500 (£20,128) in 2018 — as the site’s biggest sale.

An early pressing of The Beatles’ Love Me Do, on which Paul McCartney’s name is misspelled, takes third place having been sold for $15,410 (£11,279) the year before.

Scaramanga Silk, who cites the likes of Aphex Twin and The Prodigy as influences, says he would never put himself on a par with the Fab Four or the Purple One, though.

Truth be told, he thought the sale was a joke when he first heard the news.

“Someone from Discogs messaged me last week, informing me that they’d had this sale, and I thought, ‘It’s a wind-up, one of my mates must’ve must have put someone up to something’ — because it just seemed farcical,” he explains.
