thanks Chalky, I've just found a copy of it in my sh*^t box, I just don't see the attraction to me its not a top tune 

[Pjf]

It’s a top tune!

[Paul Riley]

I'm willing to let my copy go if anyone is interested in it. open to offers !

Great record.

On 2 labels.

Not particuarlily rare but!

Desirable at the moment.

People are chancing their arms.

I thought I did well last year buying one for £40 and selling for £100.

People are gonna be stuck with it at some of the current prices.

"I Done Told You" is very sought after by the lowrider crowd. And it IS a superb tune in that regard. "Missing You" on the other hand.. eh.

2 labels and 3 variations. The first release on Chicago Music Bag, then the Al-Tog vinyl and the Al-Tog styrene pressings. They are all 3 seemingly as rare or not really so rare but facing a recent growing demand.

Always kept mine as I love the 'I done told you baby' side. Classic Big Chi-Sound. Never had to be 'older' to love my slowies nor await a demand for such sounds to be 'in vogue' to jump on the train wagon.

Now the prices are really all over the place and I wonder if one could sell any of these pressings for more than £150 even though Discogs sales show one that went around £250... Craig Moerer's $750 is a joke.

Well, one did sell on Ebay for around $800 last year so I guess they're being hopeful. Although I do agree that it is completely nuts. 

As for rarity, the yellow CMB one seems to pop up less often? In any case, it has some extra backing vocals towards the end of "Told You" that I'm not a big fan of, having heard the other version first.

Ooh don’t think I’ve seen the Al Tog vinyl before.

Thanks for the info.

Didn't know there was a "mix" difference with the Chicago Music Bag release. Even the mastering between the Al-Tog vinyl and styrene slightly differ evidently. The vinyl Al-Tog "silky lush" mastering gets my vote here.

Well if one sold $810 and another seemingly got $450 for it and most others barely got $200 and most went for less, I know where to set my price the day I'll have a spare to trade or sell not to feel ripping-off the taker.

Plenty of people were collecting this stuff for years along with all things soulful.

The low rider thing does make me laugh.

None are rare, they were everywhere at one time, every sales box, every dealer. It still a regular sales item as well. Simply demand that is driving this
