About this record
Catalogue TBS 4479 on S.F. Productions reveals a Netherlands pressing from 1987 that sits in a peculiar market position: six copies currently listed, but demand outpaces supply by a ratio of 65 want to 10 have.
The price curve from Mint down to Poor spans from 14.44 USD to 0.76 USD—a spread that reflects how sharply condition matters on this obscure funk-soul single.
What drives its value
This 7-inch 45 RPM single commands prices that climb steeply with condition grade. A Mint copy reaches 14.44 USD, while Near Mint falls to 12.92 USD; the VG+ tier drops to 9.88 USD, and Very Good settles at 6.84 USD.
The lowest asking price across six active listings is 25 USD, suggesting either exceptional condition or seller optimism above guide values. Community data shows 65 collectors want it against only 10 who own one, a 6.5-to-1 want-to-have ratio that underscores scarcity.
As a Netherlands-market S.F. Productions release, it lacks the distribution footprint of major-label pressings, making each grade transition more pronounced in value.
The two-track format and Boogie-Soul styling narrow its appeal to specialist collectors, which explains both the high want count and the thin supply.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number TBS 4479 and S.F. Productions label imprint on the A-side label.
The single was recorded at Twin Music Studio in Brunssum, Holland, and carries no barcode—a hallmark of independent Netherlands pressings of the era. Check the dead-wax runout for any matrix code that may identify the pressing plant, though the release notes do not specify one.
Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition: Mint assumes no play and pristine sleeve; Near Mint allows only the faintest signs of handling; VG+ permits light surface marks audible only under close listening; Very Good shows visible groove wear and light crackle. The two-track layout (A and B sides) means both grooves must be assessed.
Label printing clarity and cenring holes are secondary; focus on groove condition and any warping, which is common on independent 45s from this period and era.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of Totally Awesome worth?
According to the price guide, a Very Good Plus copy is valued at 9.88 USD. This figure represents an estimate as of the guide's last update and reflects typical market transactions; actual sales may vary depending on seller reputation and shipping costs.
Why is demand so high relative to the number of copies available?
The community shows 65 collectors want this record against only 10 who have it. The Netherlands pressing on S.F. Productions was a limited independent release, never widely distributed outside Benelux markets. Funk and Boogie collectors in the modern era prize rare European 45s, especially those recorded in small studios and produced by lesser-known artists, driving want far ahead of supply.
How much is the price difference between Mint and Very Good?
A Mint copy is listed at 14.44 USD, while a Very Good copy is valued at 6.84 USD. The step between Mint and Near Mint is 1.52 USD, showing that the largest value drop occurs once a record has seen any play.
Should I pay 25 USD for this single?
The lowest asking price across six listings is 25 USD, which sits above even the Mint guide value of 14.44 USD. This suggests the seller either believes the copy is exceptional, or is testing market appetite. Buyers should request detailed photos and a condition assessment before committing, as the guide price for Mint is substantially lower.
What makes this pressing harder to find than other 1987 funk singles?
Somethin' Fresh was a Netherlands-based project on an independent label, S.F. Productions, with no barcode and limited pressing runs. The release notes credit Twin Music Studio in Brunssum and a small production team, indicating a local or regional release rather than a commercial pressing. European funk 45s from this era rarely entered major distribution channels, making them scarcer today than comparable US or UK releases.
