Reggie Milner – Soul Machine / Hello Stranger

About this record

The price guide places a Mint copy of Reggie Milner’s Volt promo at $85.69 and a VG copy at $40.59, making condition a clear part of this 1970 single’s value story. The US 7-inch, 45 RPM release pairs “Soul Machine” with “Hello Stranger” and was pressed by Specialty Records Corporation.

What drives its value

The condition guide runs from $85.69 at M through $58.63 at VG+ to $40.59 at VG; the lower listed grades are $22.55 at G+ and $13.53 at G. The guide gives no current lowest-price listing, and its sale count is 0, so it does not show an active asking price.

Community figures show 200 want against 35 have, indicating more recorded interest than ownership in that database. This is a US Volt promo, catalogue VOA-4048, rather than a comparison with an identified original or reissue: the supplied facts do not classify it either way.

Those figures describe guide estimates and community records, not a confirmed transaction or a guaranteed sale price.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm the release against the supplied identifiers: Reggie Milner, Volt, catalogue VOA-4048, and the pairing “Soul Machine / Hello Stranger.” The format is a vinyl 7-inch promo at 45 RPM, made in the US in 1970; Specialty Records Corporation is the listed pressing plant. No barcode is recorded, and no matrix or runout string is supplied, so do not treat an unverified dead-wax inscription as established evidence.

To assess a copy, compare its physical condition with the guide’s stated grades rather than assuming that the promo format alone fixes its value: the guide distinguishes M, NM, VG+, VG, G+, G, F and P, with separate estimates for each. Because the price guide lists no copies for sale, its figures are reference estimates, not a live offer for this exact copy.
