What's the going rate for one of these nowadays ? Is the double-sided dem worth any or less than the issue ?

Chris . I would have said about £30 for the US Cassablanca not sure about the what I would say rarer British one. Don't know about the Demo.

(  I'm probably miles out with the silly prices that everything seems to be fetching these days )

Forgot how good this sounds heard shearling play it the other week on his show

I thought that too but I'm seeing them on UK Ebay for less (but they're not sold so will keep an eye on ending price).

Ended up paying £4.20 bit of a bargain I'd say

That's fantastic.  Restored my faith in buying records.

Couldn't agree more, always one of my favourite new releases played on the scene.  

I just got my mint demo from Discogs in the U.S for only $2.00, bargain for a good tune.

£15 tops for a minter set sale, of course there are cheaper ones out there for less.

Meethinks an Ian Levine choon from way back then...............

I remember Colin Curtis playing it at a Ritz revival alldayer mid 90's when IL was on as well, so assumed it was one of his old spins?  

Last hour spin at the Mecca,Colin Curtis.

I got it with around 20 other 45's so I paid $24 for postage. Still came out well on top compered to UK prices. 

Just going through my records and guess what.  Mine got a bloody crack from edge to centre.  Taped it on other side but got slight noise now. So I will be getting a new one, still plenty out there for £10 upwards.  

Still a fantastic record

Bit of trivia...

Sat with Gwen at the 2004 LA soul trip....she was selling her records.

Nothing special in that box whatsoever.....beatles, brit pop, very disappointing.

Lovely lady though.....

She sold her biggie at Prestatyn, five copies she had I think when we were sat with her.

Just out of curiosity, how much was she selling them for.

 I was also at Soul Trip U.S.A. and remember Gwen selling her 45's.

    What I also remember is that  there was a record show on Sunday morning and I must have heard that 

------------------------------ bought Gwen's Johnny Hampton "Not My Girl" for $5 or $10 at least 

15 times. So Gwen did bring at least one good 45 with her. 

They? must have got there early:) and not looked her in the eye!

Thats what I thought. Gave a spare away last year ..But that was all of 5 minutes ago, I can't keep up with these price hikes on very common records

They not much more really.  £10  upto £25
