Merv Murphy- It's growing - Mint- Simmons .
Current value please?

[Sutty]

There's a lot of mint copies around, it's been up for sale almost weekly for a couple of years on eBay. Sellers are asking around £150 but it's way too common a record now to command that price for me. I am assuming a few boxes were found, it seems that way. Nice record.

Yeah Paul. Noticed that too.

one copy on discogs for £300 for the last few months but a few turning up at c.£150 recently. Suggests a stash found? Happens that way sometimes eh?

Agreed, nice tune.

Think in the whole scheme of things and long term it's a £150+ record. But right now, very hard to sell full stop as so many popped up at once in Chicago a year ago and they are still working there way through the market. From memory a 25 count box or two where found then sold and traded around Chicago, these then made thier way over here in private sales and a fair few through Ebay. 

Back to long term values, it would never have been a record that saw a big pressing run, way less than many major label records that sell for 3X it's current value and are nowhere near as good as this record is.

If you bought it because you liked it, don't panic, hold on to it it's a quality record and that's why you bought it, right ?

If you bought to flip it for a profit, don't panic, hold on to it it's a quality record, just might take a little long .........................
