Tricky Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Great record. On 2 labels. Not particuarlily rare but! Desirable at the moment. People are chancing their arms. I thought I did well last year buying one for £40 and selling for £100. People are gonna be stuck with it at some of the current prices. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

And it IS a superb tune in that regard. "Missing You" on the other hand.. eh. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I thought I did well last year buying one for £40 and selling for £100. People are gonna be stuck with it at some of the current prices. 2 labels and 3 variations. The first release on Chicago Music Bag, then the Al-Tog vinyl and the Al-Tog styrene pressings. They are all 3 seemingly as rare or not really so rare but facing a recent growing demand. Always kept mine as I love the 'I done told you baby' side. Classic Big Chi-Sound. Never had to be 'older' to love my slowies nor await a demand for such sounds to be 'in vogue' to jump on the train wagon. Now the prices are really all over the place and I wonder if one could sell any of these pressings for more than £150 even though Discogs sales show one that went around £250... Craig Moerer's $750 is a joke. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Well, one did sell on Ebay for around $800 last year so I guess they're being hopeful. Although I do agree that it is completely nuts. As for rarity, the yellow CMB one seems to pop up less often? In any case, it has some extra backing vocals towards the end of "Told You" that I'm not a big fan of, having heard the other version first. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tricky Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ooh don’t think I’ve seen the Al Tog vinyl before. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Didn't know there was a "mix" difference with the Chicago Music Bag release. Even the mastering between the Al-Tog vinyl and styrene slightly differ evidently. The vinyl Al-Tog "silky lush" mastering gets my vote here. Well if one sold $810 and another seemingly got $450 for it and most others barely got $200 and most went for less, I know where to set my price the day I'll have a spare to trade or sell not to feel ripping-off the taker. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tricky Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Plenty of people were collecting this stuff for years along with all things soulful. The low rider thing does make me laugh. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) None are rare, they were everywhere at one time, every sales box, every dealer. It still a regular sales item as well. Simply demand that is driving this Edited May 21, 2020 by Chalky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
