Garethx Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) How much should this degree of Writing on Label affect the value of this particular 45. It's an unplayed copy of Leroy Taylor "Oh Linda" on a Brunswick yellow DJ copy. The vinyl is completely flawless but the marker on the Oh Linda side obscures the catalogue number. What is a fair, up to date value for this copy? Thanks in advance for any input. Edited April 20, 2016 by garethx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Price for this copy £70 to £80 in my opinion. It's not too bad and most collectors could live with it. It could be worse, it could say somebody's name! Excellent tune, I have always liked it. Edited April 21, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
45cellar Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I don't mind a little DJ Grafitti if it appears to be from the period of release. Somebody's name would somehow be worse. It is a personal thing and so nice to get clean labels but it isn't too bad as marks go. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
lincsmod1970 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I don't mind an "X" or two (at most!) on label... but that's it for me! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hi gareth...i'm 100% sure this was once my record!...i think i got it off Pat Brady one night at the infamous Carlton Club in Normanton...can't remember what i paid at the time or what i sold it for...but like i say 100% sure i was one of its previous owners...

clevesoulie Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 What if the writing on the label is someone's autograph? My copy of Is This the Way to Treat a Girl by the Hesitations has their signatures on it (albeit the current group, which features one original member), and I also have a Dan Penn single on Atlantic autographed by the man himself and a copy of Robert Knight's Everlasting Love signed by the song's co-writer Buzz Cason. Best, Mark Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mal C Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 well that makes Leroy sign his initials backwards on this copy... that said love signatures by the artists, but prefer them on the sleeve.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
