Interesting.

I know it's currently in-demand, but that's one zero too much on that Dee Edwards 45 isn't it..?

I see my mate Rob Moss gets a mention. Just watch the $ signs going up on vinyl in and around Detroit after the general public have read this article.

Along with the various price guides now so evident with record dealers throughout the US Still a nice article nonetheless

Last time I was through Detroit, old man May was using John Manship's Guide on a pound-for-dollar basis, so the prices were

well below book-price, but higher they would have been in the past. I suspect the funk collector's in US have also helped the general inflation

as much as the guides themselves. Also think the Detroit shops are less fussy about condition, Peoples barely had a minter in stock, a lot of the

records were in quite poor condition.

Lets face it...Americans being Americans think the price guide is in Dollars anyway!!! Yippeee!

Thought exactly the same, maybe a typo

The Bump Shop issue is rarer isn't ?

there are a number of errors in the article, all of which should be attributed to the writer. the dee edwards price being too high, the jj barnes too low, referring to records as "vinyls," etc.

problem is, though, dee edwards "why can't there be love" is actually pretty common in the area, so now ppl will probably start bringing it in all the time, demanding to get real paid!

oh, and if you're looking for mint records, then you really should just stop coming to detroit to look for records altogether
