It's pretty hard - probably expect to pay up to £400 if you see an issue for sale.from an old thread.ricky. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jim G Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 is this an uptempo track or midtempo/slow? I ask as I had a Frankie Karl on Gordy Demo but can't remember what it was called and I sold it n a job lot this year. I am now praying I didn't give it away !

Steve G Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That's the point. Motown didn't promote this 45 and as a result issues are hard to locate. Unless anyone REALLY has a Leon Ware I'd say it's the hardest 70's record to find on Gordy. In answer to the ? it's an OK dancer, stops and starts/ but it's a great 70's soul record.

Roburt Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It was a Gwen Glenn Enterprises release. That was the outfit within Motown run by Gwendolyn Gordy Fuqua (Berry's sister) after her divorce from Harvey Fuqua. I think it was a bit of a vanity project to keep Gwen occupied and happy but not many of their releases got much of a push (some of the High Inergy cuts being the exception).

Guest turntableterra Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 im sorry 400 pounds is insane, last one i saw for sale went for $200 400 quid .............its only insane if you don't have one to sell, lol boba, as steve says its one of the hardest if not the hardest on the label to find. took me ten years to find one and as said the demo is double a sided so worth 2 cents. and good crossover/modern dancer. im sure it has had spins early at winsford modern room. could be wrong though.

What's the Leon Ware track - is it one lifted from the Musical Massage LP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve G Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes it's in the discography. No one has ever seen it. Although one guy who prides himself on his Motown knowledge and collection said he had a copy and sold it. I tracked down the guy he sold it to and he said no he had never bought such a record 100%. So it was BS. Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I've never even seen the bob babbitt 45 on the label, stock or promo. full disclosure: I still don't own a copy. But I'm not talking it down because I don't own it, I've passed on it for $200-$250 a couple times. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
