It was dressed in an Arista company sleeve when he bought it. I had to pull out some nice "northern" soul 45's out of my collection and complete the trade with few out of my sales box as well to feel safe on the deal on both sides though. At last I own this track that I always loved. 1
Tagtag Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Have you checked the markings run out? Does it say PB?

Don't understand the "PB" but there's a circular "G" kinda machined symbol and on the mono side the run out groove is bigger than on the stereo side and it's all genuine. The mono side also has partial scratched out letters between numbers in the matrix.
Samplat Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Yes that's a good one. Same as mine. It's hard to tell what the little mark is
Tlscapital Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Now that I've managed to re-solder the external cable of my tonearm, install the new PCB and fit the 220VAC motor (was 16VAC) on my turntable, I can finally play some records all over again. So I manage to play my records and for the first time the bits'N'bobs I got in lately. And the Anderson Brothers for the very first time. And as a MONO freak that I am, I first played the MONO side... It's maybe MONO but it's actually altogether another mix !!! I still favor the known STEREO side, but this is a real treat and surprise to me. A long loved record that still reveals hidden sides after all this time. Epic !
Theothertosspot Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Picking up on this old thread, I have a copy (demo presumably), however the markings are not as mentioned previously. The run out grooves are 13mm on mono side and 10mm on stereo side. On the mono side it has etched in GSFM 1179 twice and 340. On the stereo side it has GSFS 1179 etched once and also 340 (but a lot smaller). There is no PB or G on either side that I can see. The record is a vinyl copy. Got this in the 70's and assume it is a bootleg. Edited January 29, 2023 by Theothertosspot Added more info
Tlscapital Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Just by the look of the label the 'sharp' dip toward the spindle hole is not right indicating a bootleg. 1

I was working on a list of 340's on Discogs but it's been a while since I updated: https://www.discogs.com/lists/340-matrix-Oneida-and-others/496942

Am I right that you assume that 340 is some sort of customer ID used by the Oneida record plant? I just went through the Discogs list. Releases are right across the whole board of popular music. So I don't think 340 is linked to a specific client/customer. I guess this is just a sort of generic number used by Oneida. Maybe used each time a customer didn't want to have their names/addresses in the company's accounts? 1

I found the counterfeit theory through another forum but can't remember which one anymore, it's been a while since I dealt with the list. I seem to remember it may not only apply to Oneida. There are several obvious counterfeits pressed by them (and the owner had previous convictions for counterfeiting records) so they were involved in some way. Oneida was also located in Utica which is a city with a dubious history regarding organised crime.
