Hi Folks,

Picked up J. R. Johnson, I'm just a lover, Winner: 3384 with some other bits.

Though its a nice mover, R+B not really to my taste, any ideas on price?

Thanks in advance!!

This is hard to find but I don't think I'd sell it for more than $50 for a clean copy. However, I have no understanding of the R&B market so someone else feel free to correct me.

I was at JR Johnson's house years ago. He's the same guy who recorded as Jay R Johnson on Hawk. His first record was a 50s record on some chicago R&B label, it was under a different name and I totally forget what it was. His cousin was Menard Rogers.

Nah, nowhere near! I thought it was a weird un, price guides are all over the place, quick check on here sorts it, back of the box it goes!

There is a lot of volatility in the R&B market, as there really isn't a guide with accurate current values, and stuff becomes "hot" and shoots up in value quickly and other things go down. I think $50 for a mint copy is a reasonable price, it's not common (and it's rarer than certain other supposedly rare records like lucky laws on lu-cee).

Thanks for the info Bob and TB!

I paid next to nothing for it so I'm good. Was going to move it on if it was worth doing, but might keep now it see what occurs
