Dave Pinch Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 the problem i see with the hassle free on facebook is that there seems to be a lot of members on the page now selling different genre`s of music and things dissapear down the page very quickly. it was a great idea to start with and its probably got too big now...i still have a look but never see anythin to get excited about 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ernie Andrews Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Steve Green's copy is the one listed on Facebook in Rare Soul Sales, and it's been reduced to £250, which is cheap IMO for one in EX condition The question is is it an original or a reissue? Quote from a person who put it on youtube: As far as I know...This is a promotional issue that Frederick Hymes III used to sell at his live gig's and was not an release that was distributed by any record labels therefore very limited in numbers. Re-released on a yellower label with faded print some years later but taken from the same original stampers which was obtained from Frederick Hymes himself! So I'm guessing that there are no boots as such but just 2nd issue's.of this monsterous piece of Northern Soul crossover. F*ckin' amazing tune IMO Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Pinch Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) 1st issue is more orangey coloured than the 2nd. i dont believe anyone had a copy of this before 1998 anyway.. i think thats when they were pressed only the tony hymes ballad existed before..i had the first copy that henry had in my hands and every one i seen looks the the same,,if you look on popsike the guy that had them in bulk from the states his copies do appear to be lighter in colour but that could just be camera light etc....but in the flesh i just dont know..

Steve G Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Hi Dave, some people say their copy is different to mine (which came from Nev I think). Mine is exactly the same as the one Sam had years ago when we lined it up with a more yellowy one at Cleethorpes and compared them (and they were differentP. Nothing will convince me that there is only one press of this 45. When they were done anyone's guess.....but Sam and arthur who had it pretty early on thought the orangey one was the original. John A also said the orangey one was the original and the yellowy ones were repress. Edited June 16, 2012 by Steve G Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Arthur Fenn Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I got that copy off Henry arround 2001 & thought it was the first one, but found out Butch had it covered up for some time before that ( nothin unusual there then 8-) ) 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
NEV Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Never seen the supposed 2nd issue but was told a few yrs back that it's thinner than the 1st copy and if you hold it in front of a lamp ,you can actually see light through the vinyl ? But on price ..I think in 2012 you'll be bloody lucky to get one for less than £200 on a set sale ! Getting lucky on eBay is a totally different story ;) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ernie Andrews Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Had the Tony Hymes copy myself- Ive made my comments on this before and I can tell you that the evidence points to 2nd issues for a number of reasons- Yes they are thinner and you can see through the 2nd issues when held up to light. Myself and John Weston saw at least 3 of these at the Ritz some years ago. I bought mine off Sam and I am telling you it is very different to the 2nd issue. The other piece of information I have is lost in an old email from a supplier and he was less than amicable when I questioned him . He had off the cuff offered me a copy and when I quizzed him about it he got abit nasty to say the least including this statement that I cannot forget "Wise up Steve this is business" and even went on to tell me that well known dealers in the Uk had been supplied "so forget integrity of you Brits" was his comment. Ive never since i was youngster spent so much time trying to find out the truth about a record and I am convinced by information that their are second issues which supports whatever the Youtube person put up! Just a point to this - The price came down in Manships because copies turned up but if they were found categorically to bethe 2nd issues then the originals should go back up to pre 3rd edition prices IMO!

Guest eddiep Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi all, The "youtube person" that you guys are refering too seems be me! Just to clarify the information I used in my comment on You Tube, it was gathered from a number of source's before I posted it up and included comments that were cross checked by me from the knowledgable people here on Soul Source with other info I could find. As I stated in the opening line on YouTube, "As far as I know..." meaning that's all I could find out at the time. If anymore definative light is shed on this tune then that's gotta be good news to all those that are interested eh? Eddie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Marc Forrest Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I thought it was common knoledge that the yellow copy is a second release ? the tune was very huge around the turn of the century over here in Germany (too) and some sort of anthem of the late uptight weekenders in frankfurt maybe due arthur having been the first to have played it there (god, we had so much fun there back then..) and I seem to remember the yellow copies starting to flood ebay around the same time ? have an orange and just couldnt see myself having a collection without this 45. be it yellow or orange the tonny hymes is awesome by the way! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If you're looking to buy, it's a bootleg! Thats a nonsense statement- Its an ongoing issue until its absolutely put to bed full stop.When I questioned the person who had the stock I asked if these were original or pressed up under licence/ from the same stampers etc and he could have just said that they were original from a found box or something but No he didnt as I had mine infront of me and asked some searching questions- When I told him I had one infront of me he got really Narky and then made the comments as per previous post. I even said I'd warn the dealers over here to which his reply was they already have them and his exact comment was "Wise up Steve this is business" - To me that was the nail in the coffin that they were represses! p.s. I had no axe to grind (& still dont) as I got mine for a decent price off Sam at Fleetwood! so my view on this was from an interest point of view!

boba Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 This one has to be an original, it has a publisher stamped on: https://www.popsike.com/Soul-45-FREDERICK-HYMES-III-Time-Aint-FAB-VEGAS-4526/370244166857.html (I thought Lu-Bet was LA before, interesting that it is vegas). Whether this is the same (I always thought they were the same) is the question. However, comparing the orange popsike copies with the yellow ones does make them look different. The paper on the yellower ones looks thinner and less glossy. *HOWEVER*, even if there are two presses, you really don't know if it was pressed around the same time the original came out versus now. The fact that they used the original plates is more evidence that it was just a second run at the same time. So "second pressing" doesn't necessarily mean "modern reissue". 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) If anyone on here has got a copy that they can see the light through when holding it in front of a light bulb - please post up a picture of it. This thing keeps coming up. That the second issues that exists are see-through. If NO ONE on SoulSource has got a see-through-kinda copy, and can prove it, chances that it exists are remote in my opinion.

It has to be the same company I guess. Reusing the same plates much later is not common. Plates get worn out and if anyone has been to a label owner's house where s/he actually has old plates, they're all bent up and usuable. They are not stiff / rigid. I do think the same plates makes it more likely it was a run at the time. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If I had a see-through copy I would post up a picture of me holding it in front of a light bulb. Everyone can be fooled from time to time, but at least get the facts documented instead of just spreading rumours. It's sensitive because no one has wittingly bought a reissue. Like the John & The Weirdest I suspect some of those who got the 2nd issue were horrified to find out, and have retro-dated them with a bit of buffing up and 'WOL' so they at least look more authentic when viewed by a turntable 'hawk'. Or am I just a total cynic? The trouble with what you say Seb, is the two copies looked different when held together at Cleethorpes. At the time we weren't doing a forensic study for the Soul Source bootleg and Reissue club members, so we didn't spend much time on it. We certainly didn't hold either copy up to UV lights, or take a micro-scratching off the surface of the vinyl to have it biked off and historically dated at John Manship towers, nor did we measure the run out groove with a laser. Having suspected it to have been reissued amid rumour and gossip, we just had a copy of the orangy one and the yellowy one and said something like "Oh, they are different after all, how odd" and then moved onto the next record. Sorry but that's it. If someone is coming to a venue where I am on, I'll bring an orangy copy along, and we can do a proper analysis....But until then, it's only going to be word and mouth.
