WOL—How much should it affect value? Leroy Taylor

[Garethx]

How much should this degree of Writing on Label affect the value of this particular 45.

It's an unplayed copy of Leroy Taylor "Oh Linda" on a Brunswick yellow DJ copy. The vinyl is completely flawless but the marker on the Oh Linda side obscures the catalogue number. 

What is a fair, up to date value for this copy? Thanks in advance for any input.

Price for this copy £70 to £80 in my opinion.

It's not too bad and most collectors could live with it. 

 It could be worse, it could say somebody's name!  

Excellent tune, I have always liked it.

I don't mind a little DJ Grafitti if it appears to be from the period of release.

Somebody's name would somehow be worse.

It is a personal thing and so nice to get clean labels but it isn't too bad as marks go.

I don't mind an "X" or two (at most!) on label... but that's it for me!

Hi gareth...i'm 100% sure this was once my record!...i think i got it off Pat Brady one night at the infamous Carlton Club in Normanton...can't remember what i paid at the time or what i sold it for...but like i say 100% sure i was one of its previous owners...

What if the writing on the label is someone's autograph? My copy of Is This the Way to Treat a Girl by the Hesitations has their signatures on it (albeit the current group, which features one original member), and I also have a Dan Penn single on Atlantic autographed by the man himself and a copy of Robert Knight's Everlasting Love signed by the song's co-writer Buzz Cason.

Best,

Mark

well that makes Leroy sign his initials backwards on this copy... that said love signatures by the artists, but prefer them on the sleeve..
