Jason S Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 ANYONE??? It's on Rock-Way. So are the re-issues. Except the reissues have the arranger's name and the originals don't. Or at least some pressings of the original (that apparently isn't really an original) don't. This is a re-issue...can't scan my original at the moment..someone else will probably provide one. https://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebui...el%20The%20Funk

Gasher Posted October 9, 2006 Author Posted October 9, 2006 HE BOG OFF MY THREAD I ASK FIRST SO ANY POTENTIAL SELLER DISREGARD THAT AND OFFER ME ONE Anyone got an ORIGINAL for sale ?
Guest Trevski Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 That's the reissue by all intents... from a previous thread https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27248 still seems a bit inconclusive. The guy himself says: he seems to be having trouble with the information regardng a bootleg record I am suppose to be distributing or selling on Ebay. Please inform him that I am willing to send him a copy of the first 45 rpm of the Mixed Emotions Record "Gold of my life" for him to compaire with the European boots that he may have or any of his frends may have, Their are violines on the original first copies pressed in 1975, I made more than one pressing of the records in 1975, the pirators were distributing the second pressings in Europe, no one have ever heard to my knowledge the first pressings. The First Pressings in fact does have the (Arrangers name on the label) and it also has strings on the record. If any DJ in the UK want to settle the question of me bootlegging my records or if this in fact is a different recording, have them to send me the postage so that they will not be feeding false information the their viewers. Once again I never authorized any of the Mixed Emotions recordings tobe sold to the General public, that is why all of the recordngs from 1975 until this day are BOOTLEGS, if they want the real deal check out Ebay.

Guest woolie mark Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 SO WHAT THE FECK DOES THAT MEAN WHATS A REAL ONE AND WHATS NOT.. I JUST WANT A REAL COPY..ANYONE??? it's very simple rich there's two different versions i've heard it seems likely that they were both pressed in the 70s in limited quantities - don't get the one with the arranger's name on it and you will be as sure as you can be that it's an "original" of the better version (from memory the E on the matrix number is reversed like a 3 - i can check that if you want) of course you could argue that there isn't any such thing as a real one - which is what mr cole bangs on about - he says they were never distributed for general sale.....but that's another argument! btw, did you get your elipsis? top tune

Cristian Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Hi, my copy not has the arranger's name... see the scan , but the clue should be in the deadwax (from Fryer's funk forum topic...): original: EC-5709 (the 'E' looks like a backwards 3) repress: EC-5709 (the 'E' looks like an E) cheers, Cristian
Martyn Pitt Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Hi, my copy not has the arranger's name... see the scan , but the clue should be in the deadwax (from Fryer's funk forum topic...): original: EC-5709 (the 'E' looks like a backwards 3) repress: EC-5709 (the 'E' looks like an E) cheers, Cristian Same as mine, which I purchased back in the mid 70's Martyn
Gasher Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 thanks to all so who has one for sale then??? original that is
Dennisoul Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) thanks to all so who has one for sale then??? original that is Hi Gash, I`ve got an original copy mate.....I`ll bring it up tomorrow to Aberdeen for you to see for yourself. The dead giveaway is if the arrangers name is underneath ` Mixed Emotions ` it`s the reissue.....The orig has a large beveled edge and the numbers and letters in the dead wax are different,....also the paper that the lable is made of has a slight grain to it on the original, compared to dead smooth and shiney on the reissue......Now here`s one to really do yer head in, from the one swirl groove in the deadwax to the lable it`s 16mm. If John Manship is online he`ll put up the facts, he`s got it down to a fine art with this record,....I got mine from Butch a few months back. Andy D Edited October 12, 2006 by Dennisoul
Guest jinx74 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 "The dead giveaway is if the arrangers name is underneath ` Mixed Emotions ` it`s the reissue..." This isnt true at all. I got my copy from the arrangers family. My copy is original with the arrangers name on it. If there is an E that looks like a bckwds 3 then it is an original. That is the only way to tell the time of the pressing. All my local friends that have a copy (and there arent many) all have the arrangers name on it. Also, these cats pretty much just shop at the flea markets and neighborhoods around which they live. So im saying im pretty sure their copies are original as well. Maybe they added the arrangers name for a second run in the 70s. Maybe with the arrangers name those were bound for the stores once the promos without the name did well with the DJs and record store owners out here. I dont know, the family of the arranger didnt know, elijah doesnt know, and i cant even find any musicians in the bay that really ever heard of a group called the Mixed Emotions or even knew the tracks when i played them. Anyway... i think this topic has been exhausted on more sites than this one... There should be a permanent sticky to any topic thats been brought up this many times...
Chalky Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 "The dead giveaway is if the arrangers name is underneath ` Mixed Emotions ` it`s the reissue..." This isnt true at all. I got my copy from the arrangers family. My copy is original with the arrangers name on it. It will be from the family, Eligah Cole pressed up the re-issues at later date....the original first press is as said.....many times over in several topics. thanks to all so who has one for sale then??? original that is I'm not certain mate but Butch may have one? He did a while back but not sure if he's sold it.
Guest woolie mark Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 It will be from the family, Eligah Cole pressed up the re-issues at later date....the original first press is as said.....many times over in several topics. that's what we always believed chalky, but it doesn't seem that simple anymore i've heard from more than one person that they have copies with the arrangers name on it which were pressed in the 70s - possibly from the same plates as the one without the arrangers name on it (the handwritten matrix number has an E like a backwards 3) the one which he's pressed up recently with the arrangers name on it is a different version (with keyboards and other instruments) and it is from new plates it seems completely clear to me that the one without the arrangers name on it is the one which has always been played on the uk northern scene - so if you want to buy an "original", that's the one to go for btw, does anyone know where it was played on the northern scene in the 70s? was it the mecca? was it popular then (before my time!), or was it one of those hundreds of 70s tunes that faded away after a couple of weeks?
Chalky Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 They will no doubt have been done using same plates, especially as Cole did them himself. He admitted in a snotty reply to me that the he did 300 for family and friends, these are the ones without the arrangers name on, and that these were never officially released so therefore boots and if wanted a true original they had to get the second issue with arrangers name, it's all on site somewhere. These just happened to be what had stock of and was selling. More have been pressed in recent times, the different version you mention. I remember telling him he at the time he either had a lot of friends or a big family I doubt anything can convince myself or others that anything but the ones with no arrangers name on are the true first prtess and that any others were pressed later after hearing of demand for the record, and after all who can blame the guy.

What a guy!
