There are two kinds of people that lived in the 70s those that remember it and those that have stories and I have the stories I was born in 52 so that put me and my middle twenties from batdorf & Rodney first came into my life I forgot all about them one day I was sitting here listening to music on my phone and remembered that dorvan Rodney life is you that was the album we played over and over and over I listened to it and after all those years I still remember almost every word to most of the songs I’m glad to know I can still listen to them I loved the soul that they put into their songs

Hi Carol, what I do to check if a vinyl is valuable is going to Discogs. It gives you an idea what the prices are. Check it here: https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=394035&ev=mb
