No, this reissue shouldn't fool anyone (and doesn't set out to).

  Should'nt but with ebay you never know what to expect ....the unexpected often happens

[Cover-up]

Unexpected, like this re-issue selling for £54??? Still, it's limited, looks good, sounds good and what are the chances of finding an original. Wish i'd bought a spare Soul Spectrum comp now!

It's still widely available at £15-£20 or less.

[Dave Fleming]

This is up to £42 now,are people mad or just lazy to look for the Lp with this freebie 45

for less than £20,or maybe both 

 

Dave f....

[Dave Fleming]

Yes i was right " MAD " ended up at £92

[phillyDaveG]

Yes, tons of the LPs packs still about, which makes the seller's description..."this LTD licensed reissue was only available as an LP insert which SOLD OUT in a weekend" a tad misleading.

had an original once

So what was that Sebastian was saying about not fooling anyone ;)

I wrote that it doesn't set out to fool anyone. If it does then that's just down to the ignorance/stupidty of the buyer.

 

It doesn't look like the original.

It was a tongue in cheek remark Sebastian and to be honest ,it was probably not fooling anyone ,or it would have been in four figures

Bit miffed about this................bought a CD because FS was not on the LP, not realising that there was a 7" of FS in the vinyl pack until reading this!  That's living life at 100 mph all the time for you, and not checking the small print!

 

I suppose I'd better get in the queue behind all the greedy b*stards now, who are buying them up to squirrel away the 7" to sell at an inflated price on eBay, rather than just buying one for themselves and leaving copies for other collectors to get at a reasonable price.  The Gregory Porter 12" Record Day scenario of 2012 comes to mind........topical as it's RS day 2013 this weekend!!

 

Some people love the music, but love lining their pockets more!!

 

Dave......PM me where it's available please so thar I can pick me a couple copy up on LP!   

 

 

Cheers,

our dealer friend Angelos Epithemiou @ rare northern soul is selling Rokk re issues for £75.

 

for roughly another £75 you can get the other 44 re issue 7s direct from the label in the box set he has bought.

 

im sure he will snare someone and be very happy.

Speaking of this Fluorescent Smogg reissue, just got my copy and the labels are reversed on the 45. Anyone else notice this?

Yes...according to a guy at Jazzman records I had an email from, they all are due to cock up at the plant. Doh! Brilliant quality sound on them though I think.
