I had purchased a number of Sheffield discs when they were released. Specific to this conversation I purchased two of each of the Amanda McBroom albums. At that moment in time these two records were used relentlessly at stores to audition equipment. How many times did the staff have to hear Amanda? I confess my wife and I brought West of Oz into stores and auditioned, then bought, speakers based on her voice alone. Jump ahead a couple of decades and the same reaction was had at stores when Jennifer Warnes' Ballad of the Runaway Horse" was requested. I was a witness for that as well.
On more than one occasion I have offered my still-sealed second copies of the Sheffield McBroom albums for sale on-line. I have never received one response, let alone an offer. I have tried to sell them to record stores, but the re-seller business calculus prohibits any reasonable offers from the proprietors (it's not their fault, it's just the way it is). So the second copies have sat, sealed, on the shelf for about 40 years.
