Thanks in advance for any help!!!! im sure this has been booted at least 2 times maybe more , the ov one is vynl and has a matrix stamp in the run out
Ian Seaman Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 boot is styrene with a slightly too small a label on it, does have a drop off towards the centre, i have seen a few over the years that have had the original matrix scrubbed off to try and deceive !! Vaguely remember being told that both sides are mono ???? Ian.
Kjw Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Been bootlegged twice and re-pressed once on US GSF - One with a deep ridge on the label One with the intials PB in the run out Re-press is styrene with a number scratched out in the run out Original has different size run outs on each side and also different GSF matrix numbers on each side Various other releases (don't know if they were legal or not) - one on UK Sevens from Goldmine and probably one due from Outta Sight (if they haven't done it already) 1

I also bought that £8 "original" in 1976 (and an Idle Few very similar), that one was on thick vinyl and had a dip just before the centre. Then they did it as a demo on styrene, it's got a delta number which has been scratched out, it's got PB scratched out, and then has the number scratched in. Sorry if anyone above said the same. I don't know about the GSF repress though. Edited July 6, 2012 by Pete S
Haydn Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 and probably one due from Outta Sight (if they haven't done it already) Touche!

SAME HERE, BUT THINK MINE WAS £6... they all came in Original GSF sleeves as well, which I later discovered were "Robbed" from hit GSF records at the time purchased cheaply . They originated from New York and the person who was involved is still on here as an active member--allegedly ! They are easy to spot once you have seen an original pressing....be safe and try and find the Israeli LP to be sure.......!!!! Rob 1
Soulfulshoes Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Cheers Keith, well based on what you have said it looking very promising..... both sides have different length run outs and matrix numbers. Mono side matrix - GSFM - 1179 Sterio side GSFS - 1179 Nothing scratched out, but there is another small number that i can harly make out it is so small on the sterio side at about 3 oclock to the other matrix number i think it is 340 Been bootlegged twice and re-pressed once on US GSF - One with a deep ridge on the label One with the intials PB in the run out Re-press is styrene with a number scratched out in the run out Original has different size run outs on each side and also different GSF matrix numbers on each side Various other releases (don't know if they were legal or not) - one on UK Sevens from Goldmine and probably one due from Outta Sight (if they haven't done it already) Edited July 6, 2012 by Soulfulshoes 1
Tezza Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Are we talking 'Demo's ' here or was it released as a Stock Copy ??
Pete S Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Are we talking 'Demo's ' here or was it released as a Stock Copy ?? Don't think a stock copy has ever been found 1

Pete S Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I've got a 'Stock Copy'. It looks very good, Brown Label (No Demo message) but not sure where its from !?!?! In that case, I'm wrong, sorry!
Tezza Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 No !! I'm not sure if it's legit ?!?!? Wondered if anyone else has seen a Stock Copy - Real or not !!!
NEV Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I've got a 'Stock Copy'. It looks very good, Brown Label (No Demo message) but not sure where its from !?!?! What's that Tezza ..You collect mid-tempo cross over ? I thought cross over was too boring and only uptempo soul floated your boat ;)
Jordirip Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 What's that Tezza ..You collect mid-tempo cross over ? I thought cross over was too boring and only uptempo soul floated your boat ;) Bit funky as well Nev.
Tezza Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Damn. I've been outed !! Quality track though, a real Samantha's Classic...
Guest smudgesmith Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Damn. I've been outed !! Quality track though, a real Samantha's Classic... Would like to see that Tel........its a bit like the Harrison Lesser watch from Fools and Horses......can you put up a scan.I have a demo and it was mentioned on the US release sheets back in the day!

Indeed: from an article I wrote back in 1988, it's referring to June 1974 New releases this month included Jimmy Conwell-Cigarette Ashes, Contours-Do You Love Me and Frankie & The Classicals-What Shall I Do on a new label called Pye Disco Demand. Over in the States, completely unnoticed in the Hot Stuff section of Black Music Magazine was a new release on GSF by the Anderson Brothers entitled I Can See Him Loving You. Twelve months later it was big everywhere, impossible to find, and remains a classic today. 1
Guest Seagrave Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Or better still, just chuck 'em all in the nearest incinerator. Load of wishy-washy, white, wimpy, nonsense!
NEV Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Or better still, just chuck 'em all in the nearest incinerator. Load of wishy-washy, white, wimpy, nonsense! Lol ..I can't believe it ! Tezza confessing to owning a cross over style 45 and it being insulted ..is that ironic or what .tee hee hee (laughing to myself as I'm writing ) 1
Chris Anderton Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I have an original demo copy, found it in Washington DC about 9 years ago for 25cents. I don`t think an original stock copy has ever been found. Chris
Codfromderby Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 sorry to be a bit thick but wasnt gsf a black funky soul label, why would white c/w artists record on that label, am i missing something
Mick Holdsworth Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 sorry to be a bit thick but wasnt gsf a black funky soul label, why would white c/w artists record on that label, am i missing something There's a Connie Francis record on GSF from about the same time. It was an answer version of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon". Cheers Mick
Pete S Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 sorry to be a bit thick but wasnt gsf a black funky soul label, why would white c/w artists record on that label, am i missing something Wasn't an exclusively soul label, they had all sorts on there. Don't think Anderson Bros were country anyway.
Sjclement Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Think the lable was partially owned by Lloyd Price lots a funk Skullsnaps, Joe Quartermain and Lloyd himself

Andy Rix Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I don`t think an original stock copy has ever been found. Chris I've held a stock copy. Pete Halas, from Spalding, had one late 70's. I think it went to Mr Raistrick along with his Del Larks, Joanne Courcy etc... I've only seen one other since then Andy 2

Raresoul45s Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Counterfeit has PB in the deadwax, there was also a legit second press in 78. original has GSFM then NBO scratched out and 1179 and an A which curls under the letter itself. Taken from the copy I have foresale right now (shameless i know) Cheers Darren

Tezza Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Hi, As requested Not sure where its from originally or if its legit ?!?!?

Taken from the copy I have foresale right now (shameless i know) Cheers Darren Don't know where you're getting this info about a legit press in 78, someone else mentioned it earlier, no such thing as far as I know, just boot one on vinyl, boot two on styrene, both done in 76.
Sebastian Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Hi, As requested Not sure where its from originally or if its legit ?!?!? That's a styrene 45. So most likely just a "coloured in" demo/promo bootleg.

Cheers Sebastian, If that's right then someone has gone to a lot of trouble colouring it in. Is the Demo marked 'Promotional Copy/Demo Copy' or was it just a White Label ?? Cheers matey
Mick Sway Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Here are some Popsike values: https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=anderson+brothers&thumbs=&currsel=&sortord=&x=15&y=11 Mines a vinyl boot (1st with a ridged label) with an off centre label, bought from Selectadisc in mid 70's, with Company sleeve. To be honest i thought it was legit then, but there again I was very naive about bootlegs at the time. Nice to see that there are stockers about. Great record and thread. Thanks
SHEFFSOUL Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 ..was listed in B&S as a new release..and when it was booted it was sold with original GSF sleeves to make it more convincing..
Pete S Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 For some reason I was thinking it came out on UK DJM, a long time after it was played out! I must be thinking of something else.
Raresoul45s Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Don't know where you're getting this info about a legit press in 78, someone else mentioned it earlier, no such thing as far as I know, just boot one on vinyl, boot two on styrene, both done in 76. Pete as far as I'm aware the 78 run was legit, I only have notes on the original so have no detail. If you say its a boot then ok (that makes 3 boots), I was lead to believe it was a legit repress. That said you were on the scene then and I was only 7 so I guess I bow to your knowledge and recollections. Best Darren

Best Darren Darren what I am saying is that there is no 78 release of this in any shape of form, there was the first one on vinyl, then the second one on styrene that came out at the same time as Skullsnaps "I'm Your Pimp" but I don't know what this 3rd one is or why it would have been released in 78 anyway. Anderson Brothers was not a massive record, it was popular, yes, and it was booted but so was everything else in those days.

There are definitely three Pete One vinyl with the ridge on the label One vinyl with the initials PB in the run out One styrene 1
Godzilla Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 That's a styrene 45. So most likely just a "coloured in" demo/promo bootleg. Cheers Sebastian, If that's right then someone has gone to a lot of trouble colouring it in. Is the Demo marked 'Promotional Copy/Demo Copy' or was it just a White Label ?? Cheers matey I think Sebastian is right and that the clue is the word MONO. As far as I know only the promos are marked MONO/STEREO and they are usually white. Never seen an issue with that text.
Pete S Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 There are definitely three Pete One vinyl with the ridge on the label One vinyl with the initials PB in the run out One styrene I think the first one has PB as well though. OK the second one is the really good counterfeit right. I remem,ber having a Dave Newman same as the first Anderson Bros and then there was a second one, way better, but still counterfeit - there's also a George Blackwell with this lot and a Salvadors, and I do mean really good lookalikes. All of these were done in 76.
