March 30, 201411 yr Never seen the original 1 ? got the reissue fantastic record though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! atb Kev
March 30, 201411 yr I sold an original to Mark Etherington over on the east coast years ago still has it I suppose. very difficult to tell thou Edited March 30, 201411 yr by Ted Massey
March 30, 201411 yr Hold 'em up to the light and it's easy to tell......the 2nd is translucent! ! Cheers, Mark R
March 30, 201411 yr Author 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

March 31, 201411 yr Author Thanks Kev, much appreciated but was looking for at about half that as the going rate. Cheers Pete
March 31, 201411 yr Author Not sure, but it looks like a legit release to me? Just checked John's website and no first release copy for sale...

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.
March 31, 201411 yr 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.
March 31, 201411 yr 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
March 31, 201411 yr Twenty seven years ago. Sorry folks, missed that of the end. Regards TED Best Andy Etheridge
