Three to four years ago Manship had one for auction, saying that this first 45 by Gwen Owens is rarer then her big Velgo release, which I believe. But seeing this is an early Detroit tune that is 1. not so much known, 2. not having any kind of "prestige" to itself :thumbsup::D and 3. therefore will not meet a high demand, my bet is around 1000 USD...

Saw this for sale a couple of years ago for around £750.00 i think it was Ady Pierce who had it at the Prestatyn weekender when Gwen Owens performed, now this is a very early record and i agree with all the above points, had it myself sometime back and found it to be pretty much an unplayable venue record being very much a collectors record a very manic under produced record seems like this has turned up as did The Four Gents - 'Young Girls Beware' also on Oncore which i did pay rather a lot for but is a reasonable quality early production.

At a guess Gwen was in her early teens when she cut this and not much older on the two Velgo releases, well worth a listen but i agree should make around a $1000.00.

Definitely more Four Gents "Young Girls" around today as they used to be, but quantity of the Gwen Owens :lol: I am not sure about that. The other Four Gents "Tomorrow" btw is a GREAT 45 and I just played it today morning again...brilliance :rolleyes:
