Soul16 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Could somebody tell me if the copy currently on eBay and ending tonight is a boot? I get the feeling it is because 'ZSP 79988' along with a run time of 2.26 appears on both sides of the record. After checking on Popsike I noticed that the seller previously sold a similar copy back in April. It also looks like it may be vinyl, I assume that the genuine article is styrene. I ask the question because I wasn't aware that there was a lookie likey copy doing the rounds. Andrew Edited August 9, 2016 by Soul16
Cover-up Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) https://www.popsike.com/Aretha-Franklin-One-Step-Ahead-Northern-Soul-45-Columbia-mp3/151621333060.html I would assume with Columbia pressings, there could well be a vinyl prssing as well. However, the typesetting on that label looks very suspect (especially on the flipside, with the wrong track time). Looks the same as the copy on popsike listed above. The Columbia logo looks wrong, the songwriting credit "c. Singleton" should have a capital "C". Yup, looks pretty dodgy to me... Edited August 9, 2016 by cover-up 1
Constellation161 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 B side to One step ahead is I can't wait until I see my baby's face with a time of 2.40 on styrene. So I would say the one on eBay tonight is a bootleg. Hope that helps. Mick Perrins 1
Soul16 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks to both of you for confirming my suspicions, I'll steer clear of that one.

Windlesoul Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Peggy Gaines does an incredible version of it on Night Train (with the Hytones), I've posted it a few times on FB. Pity it was never released. Though no doubt someone will now boot the NT videoclip and flog it as an acetate. Edited August 10, 2016 by Windlesoul 3
