Thank you for posting as always  😁

Gwen Owens. Always wanted one from the very first time I heard it. Station road anthem, always been way to expensive even way back in the black and white days of the 70,s 🤣 Wouldn't have been surprised if it had gone £8000. Love it. 

Ruben Howell.  Carl Carlton.  Love both versions but surely only £100 for Ruben . Carl  Carlton from £40/  £50 probably leaning towards Ruben,s version as it was the first one I heard . But hey what do I know.

Have to agree with your valuation of Rueben Howell.  It has sold for a tone or so consistently.  Of the buyer had asked on line in wants he’d have got one for around that too.  £500, he’s taken leave of his senses.  Just buy the Lp for £20 or so and get other tracks as well.

The Gwen Owens had a nasty skip. Surely that would be off-putting? If the white demo plays without skipping, surely it’s worth waiting for a copy to come up for sale. Guess I’ll stick with the styrene boot bought in 1976.

I always was told by one person that my vinyl copy was a boot and proper ones were styrene. Can anyone help me with this one please?

I reckon if I had the money I would of bought it, slight skip or not.  If a white demo comes up would buy that as well and move the issue on....all a dream of course....like you Frankie, will stick with my 70,s boot....Rob

Hey Chris

Freddie Houston - for something 57 years old and one of the greatest soul records ever made (imho) it was ok. 

And its miles better than your Muriel Day and the Sharonettes c/u !

La Shawn Collins very surprised and Rueben I actually think the issue is harder ? I thought Gwen might hit the magic £10k mark and Freddie Houston demo a tad surprised at but there again I ain’t seen many at all ?

Poetic justice though....play Gwen Owens on a fancy dan stylus with just the right balance and pounds per square inch...pressure, and the flaw will make a great screech.

Play it on a fidelity all things to all men easy on easy off arm...and it plays a treat!

Good job they ironed out the flaw on the pressing:)

Cheeky.

Thought you'd baulked at £500 or so around a year back.  Maybe longer, time flies.

My Sharonettes is a sight to behold.

Speak soon.

Blimey Wednesday evening comes round quickly 🤪

Not surprised about Gwen Owens.

Nor am I, nor am I surprised at Freddie Houston too which has been steadily rising over the years.
