Mark R Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hold 'em up to the light and it's easy to tell......the 2nd is translucent! ! Cheers, Mark R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Stockholmsoulfox Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think that's the acid test Mark! However I believe the first press has a flat edge and the 2nd press (looking at my copy) has a bevelled, rounded edge. Not much difference as you say Ted. Prophonics, please get back to me by PM if it fits the bill.. Cheers Pete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Peter99 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Is the second press legitimate? Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Stockholmsoulfox Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not sure, but it looks like a legit release to me? Just checked John's website and no first release copy for sale... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ok, thanks Prophonics. Hopefully some one has a first issue they are willing to sell or trade? Thanks Pete The first issue is one of the Modern Soul scene's genuinely rare originals if you ask me. Never showed up in quantity. Stuart Cosgrove found the first small handful and then Soul Bowl got a minuscule amount a few years later. I'd be surprised if there are more than a dozen genuine first issues known.

Guest in town Mikey Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I bought one as an original off a dealer. Showed mine to Dave Thorley and he couldn't be sure. And he has an original. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Still Diggin Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 A good friend of mine tried to track this down about two years after its release. All those in charlotte who he thought may give him a good lead told him the guy who put the thing out was not to be messed with and to stay well clear.With that in mind I would be suspicious of the second press having much to do with the guy who put it out in the first place. By the way Ted you sold it to me. Really don't mind you getting my name wrong as it must be about Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
