Guest Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 What is the value of Gwen McCrae "The Melody of Life" promo copy? I know the album sells for a couple of hundreds..... I just found a promo of the 7". I have seen it sell for around $90 one or two years ago. I also found two copies on popsike at $70-$90 but in Manships 4th guide it is set to £15 for an issue. This makes me in doubt. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Gwen McRae LP "Melody of Life" has long been a sought after piece by both funk and soul collectors especially on the 80's rare groove scene. There's always been a fair bit of conjecture though on originals vs boots of this LP .... that is, boots that were done in the 80s at the time of the LP's initial popularity with thick hard cardboard sleeves (and before the wholesale mass "reproduction" of virtually every rare soul and funk LP by Scorpio in the US that occurred in the 90s up to the present, using digital photo wrap around cover sleeves). John, can you enlighten us on how to tell the difference between the originals and those supposed early boots ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
