Soul16 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 You certainly did!! Well Done The perils of poor spelling....
Soul16 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 You must've been sweating buckets over that one. I'm green with envy, I can hardly believe my eyes!
Pete S Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 You must've been sweating buckets over that one. I'm green with envy, I can hardly believe my eyes! Nah not really, saw it as soon as it went on, put a snipe bid of £55 quid on it then just forgot about it, it was there for everyone to see for a week, though it was in pop 50's and 60's...
Pete S Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 p.s. it arrived this morning and I sold it for £125 within 5 minutes of me opening it. Would love to keep some of these records one day!

If it's what you do for a living, you have to sell them on I suppose. Profit margins like that are very rare I guess, a good start to the year Pete.
sir cumference Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 p.s. it arrived this morning and I sold it for £125 within 5 minutes of me opening it. Would love to keep some of these records one day! Wonder if Al is reading this thread.Ouch
Pete S Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Wonder if Al is reading this thread.Ouch Doubt it - never mentions northern soul in the ad, besides, it was an auction fair and square
sir cumference Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Doubt it - never mentions northern soul in the ad, besides, it was an auction fair and square Good work-and I agree with you.Maybe everyone else was in a post Christmas/New Year stupor! You snooze,you lose!

Pete S Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Looks like the boot ? You've obviously never seen an original then.
Pete S Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Lol .... Got a quick bite there Pete Atb for 2012

Ernie Andrews Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Well done Pete - was gonna offer you a tenner for it but youve sold it already - Happy New year!
Pete S Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Only 7 views too. Well done Pete. Bizarre isn't it. is it just me that checks every 60's record on UK ebay, it surely can't be.
Guest Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Well done still go's to show you can still bag a bargin these days
Guest giant Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 nice one Pete ' i once got Christine Cooper Heartaches away in mint - condition $10 dollars from a dealer in USA who was selling loads of pop stuff ' never found a real bargain since .
MrsWoodsrules Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 https://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_2475wt_1398 Wow Pete, I'm impressed, especially as its a U.K. seller, don't do too badly do you? Seen your other post, picking a Johnny Guitar Ray up in a shop Derby. Love hearing stuff like that. Cheers Aid.
MrsWoodsrules Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 nice one Pete ' i once got Christine Cooper Heartaches away in mint - condition $10 dollars from a dealer in USA who was selling loads of pop stuff ' never found a real bargain since . Hey Bahaar, Can't believe you don't pick up the odd bargain! See you at Lowton next week. Aid.
Guest HALIFAXFREESOUL Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I have a black one. Any expert care to tell me if mines a boot??
KevH Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I always thought the originals were flesh colored with red print.
Pete S Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 I have a black one. Any expert care to tell me if mines a boot?? I'm tempted to say it is due to the shape of that ridge near the centre but this is the copy I mentioned that is very, very hard to tell.

No mate they are few and far between, though 60's soul boy on here got a holly st james a couple of months back for $5 or something like that!
Simsy Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 The perils of poor spelling.... Peril for the seller, exciting for us! https://www.bargainchecker.com/default.aspx
Pete S Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Peril for the seller, exciting for us! https://www.bargainch...om/default.aspx I'm not sure about that though, the fact nobody saw it because it was not spelt properly, I certainly never did a search for 'Epitome', I just saw it there.
Simsy Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I'm not sure about that though, the fact nobody saw it because it was not spelt properly, I certainly never did a search for 'Epitome', I just saw it there. You've a sharp eye my friend and congratulations. That link above is every misspelled 'northern soul' listing on Ebay. Don't tell anyone though..
Guest posstot Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I'm tempted to say it is due to the shape of that ridge near the centre but this is the copy I mentioned that is very, very hard to tell. i thought originals were both red print and black. look for a stamp pressed in the label...a small indentation about 10 mm in fromthe paper edge. Or i'm getting mixed up with another 45. Mike
Guest MrC Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 No mate they are few and far between, though 60's soul boy on here got a holly st james a couple of months back for $5 or something like that! Holly St James ABC Demo, and Ollie Jackson "Just A little While" Pepper Demo - $15 inc postage for the two! That was a GOOD day :-)
Pete S Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) i thought originals were both red print and black. look for a stamp pressed in the label...a small indentation about 10 mm in fromthe paper edge. Or i'm getting mixed up with another 45. Mike Yes they are both red and black but the black print was done in a very very convincing counterfeit. The braille stamp can be anywhere on the label, one side or both sides Edited January 7, 2012 by Pete S
Jonko Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I was reading this as I am trying to determine if the copy of the Epitome of Sound I have had storeed away in my collection for the last 30year plus is the original or not, but I beleive it is very hard to tell. Its flesh/creamy colou (but more flesh I believe ) the the red txt. There is no stamped matrix in the run out deadwax so how do I tell? I see there is something stamped under the lable about the 2pm position but I can't forsake tell what it is supposd to be. Can anyone help??

Jonko Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Don't worry, if it's cream, it's real.. Ok cool. I was in a thread on FB and folks seem to be really confused about this one and some were saying it has to have this under the lable stamp and 8pm and or on flip side others said, very confusing. But I thought that it was, just wanted clarify what that thing is about the stamp under the label.

It's a little like braille, but don't worry, there is no boot of that record on the cream label with red lettering. 1
Cover-up Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Err, I'm trying to work out why a link to an eBay auction from nearly two and a half years ago is still showing???!!!!
Chris L Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 https://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_2475wt_1398 I hope you gave the seller a positive feedback !
Mick Boyle Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Hey Pete I beat you, got mine for £4 - same label as yours Oh yes that was from the Notts Palais in 77
