Premium Stuff Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I still don`t understand the Brit`s propensity to build a guy up and then do their level best to bring him down... Just continuing that tradition then, and to show my true Britishness ... Has anyone actually had this record in their hand, seen it, felt it , smelt it What I mean is, has anyone recognised as a true authority in this wonderful field of ours seen the actual record and verified that it is genuine and commented on its provenance? Or, has everyone just seen the photos? There's been a lot of media, Facebook, Soulsource banter - but who has actually verified that the copy of the record shown in the pictures is a real record and genuine? I don't believe it until someone I trust as a true expert has verified it and told me why they think it's a goodun Tin hat time Cheers Richard Edited July 1, 2014 by Premium Stuff 2

But even if it does turn out to be a hoax...it's been fun and interesting and the UK label collecting scene got exciting again.
Mal C Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Perhaps Pete we can set up a clandestine meet with Nick, select eminent 'UK Know it all's' to attend and touch the record, take their own pictures, or a very least just cast eyes upon it... check out Nicks member page btw, big old scan on there, which even I can tell is the real deal... Remember you said Mick Smith probably shrugged his shoulders when you told him, has he changed his tune any? Malcolm

Mike Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 have spoke to nickw via pm he says he is still in the process of making a decision on what to do with this 45 (keep/sell) and while understands the reactions of some he needs to make this decision before taking any further action cheers mike
Guest Agent 00 Soul Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Who actually owns the record if it does exist? This will be an interesting case if the record is valued as most think it will be at £10k+ If the record was taken without the original owners constant then it was, in the eyes of the law, stolen and as such the ownership lies with the original owner and any subsequent owners of the original owner to the present date. Similar cases have been tested in law and anyone purchasing the record may find themselves committing an illegal act of purchasing or possessing stolen goods. It may well be that the current holder of the record was given permission to take it. However if it ever came to litigation it would be incumbent on the current holder to prove that the transfer of the record was done with the consent of the original owner. Hmmm, as I say interesting!!

Surely the whole thing would need to start with a claim from the "original owner" that the item had been stolen, and also with the "original owner" proving it was their property in the first place - otherwise there would be no charge to answer? Cheers Richard

That was all about PURCHASE TAX on records and the return rules from retailers for unsold records. Demo's were exempt as they were not sold through retailers - hence the wording on them.

Robbk Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, and also I don't want to be someone who might appear to be accusing anyone of anything. But I have made an observation upon looking at the two videos above, that I'd like checked and commented by others. Looking closely at the edges of the paper labels, they appear to not be perfectly rounded, but appear to have a series of very small straight edges, as if cut by a scissors. That implies that there is a possibility that the labels might have been pieced together from various sources, and manipulated in graphics programmes, printed out on a printer, and the image cut, as carefully as possible, using a small scissors. I'd like others on this thread to again look at the 2 videos above, and look carefully at the edges of the paper labels, and see if you think they are not rounded as on o normal, machine-cut paper label. I'd like to find out if I am imagining this. I fully understand that the whitish areas on the edge of the paper don't necessarily indicate scissors cutting, as they could easily have been colour removal from normal wear from movement inside the record sleeve and handling. It is the seeming slight non-roundedness that caught my eye. Edited September 6, 2014 by RobbK
Chalky Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) The labels look round enough and real enough to me, I wish I could cut that round with scissors when doing cover up labels in the past It would also be pretty intricate and difficult to cut the rest of the label, around the centre etc with scissors. The deadwax matrix matches the label matrix as well. So unless one off the other London 45's has the same matrix I doubt it is a fake. If it is a fake it is a bloody good one.

Cutting the centre hole would be extremely difficult. I'll have to look at some of my scans of my own records to see if the roundness on those real labels can appear to be imperfect.

Robbk Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Upon reviewing the videos, and especially looking at the centre holes, I have to agree now, that my impression of non-roundedness was due to the the imperfection in the digitalisation of the scanning process, as my scans of original records show that same effect. I apologise for even bringing up the comment, although there was no malice intended (just an observation).
Robbk Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 All of us would wish to know the outcome Dave, pointless letting it drag on If I were him, I'd be in no great hurry to unload it. I would wait to have as many potential bidders hear about it, see it, and make offers. There should be a bidding war, or it's not the right time to sell.
