I remember Mick Smith having Simon's original Baby Luv copy of The Inticers which had Simon's instructions on the label

Awful record though

Bought a collection and this was in it - Louise Lewis on Skyway - no big deal but I looked it and thought hold on this looks like a demo and I didn't think there were any...white label with very dark blue lettering. Might have something rare here. Then I noticed there was a lot of stuff scratched into the run off and it read "Quality Test Only" - so I think yes, it's a rare test pressing. Then I see more writing which says "Simon S". That put a damper on it, yes it is a test press, but a test press for the bootleg :-(

Can't remember the artist but there's a really rare solo girl record on ABC which is so bad quality that it can't be played but would have been great - I don't think there's a demo of it, only an issue which must surely have been withdrawn

I might have that Jean Carter reissue I'll check

Theres a boot of Billy Prophet that you might be able to pick up from £20 to £50 depending who's selling it, I don't think I have one but I'd want £25 for it.

How are you going to get a Billy Prophet or Ken Williams for under £40? I'd be looking at £700 for my Billy Prophet white demo and Ken Williams is always £150 to £200 (never been reissued)

Good point there - if you are selling as a collection, don't let people cherry pick, tell them it's either everything or nothing. Otherwise all you'll be left with is £3 Ric Tics

The two main places for pricing are Discogs and Popsike - the latter features auction results though and the former is full of chancers selling records at double their value. I sell 100 or so every week and the best price guide is actually here, on Soul Source, I just do a search and see what things have been selling for and adjust prices accordingly.
