QUESTION FROM READER WHO BOUGHT A SIGNED COPY OF MELODIE D'AMOUR

We recieved a question from a reader who bought a signed copy of Wes Bryan - "Melodie D'Amour", wanting to know what it's worth.  We don't know the answer!

Here are some considerations.  From time to time we check the e-Bay auctions and we see that overall the price of Wes Bryan records has steadily climbed up by a dollar or two over the years, with a recent mint  quality copy of "Lonesome Love" starting at around $65.  Two years ago it was at about $45. There was a lot of United Artists promotions of that record, I and it went GOLD quickly.  It's rare but not so rare.

So first consideration would be the condition and playability of the record itself, next would be the rarity of the record.  Disc Jockey and Promo copies come up more than pressed copies on e-Bay, especially of my song "Freeze" which did well because the Freeze Dance was invented for it, and the record not only got bought up for parties but went into a lot of juke boxes which pay the hell out of a record so "Freeze" is rarer. 

As for the signature, figuring that it's an authentic Wes Bryan signature that should ad value.  But it's not George Washington's so -

We figure the collectors know more than we do.  OUR SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO JOIN e-Bay so that you can communicate with some of the collectors and oldies record shops and see what they would be willing to pay you for it!
