£190.44? That's £190 too much, even for a minter.............

Seem to recall another one for sale a yr or so back and seller ,who is a member on here,stated that this particular 45 is a right piece of hard wearing vinyl.

I reckon buyer will be more interested in play condition than label ....and if he gets it at the right price then someone will be well happy with it .

However i do think top price should constitute vinyl and labels being in pristine condition

The other Joe Jama sounds better imho

I'm guessing this will top out about $500.....from the sound clip it's good enough to play out. The seller had a copy in about the same vinyl grade with an undamaged label and got $900+ for it IIRC. I suppose if you wanted to DJ it and didn't really care about the record as a collection item and just a utility to use, it's fine. How important is the label if you only want the record to play and are not interested in having a 'collection copy'?

Kinda like the Frankie Beverly "Because..." on Fairmount on eBay about 10 months ago. It had a severly damaged label (by hand, not water) and sold for $1000, or probably 40% of the value for a copy with a nice label in the same vinyl condition.
