Woodbutcher Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) It's never going to fool anyone though , even in a darkened room ... The label is a piss-poor reproduction with no fine detail in the design , colours all wrong and the catalogue number is wrong . But best of all is the incorrect running time on the label which corresponds nicely with the fact that they've used the available YouTube soundfile to boot with which is faded in and out and subsequently too short .... As to why some twat forked out over £200 , gawd only knows ... Edited December 28, 2016 by WoodButcher 1
Julianb Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 £210 for a boot. What planet are these buyers/bidders from?
Supercorsa Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Not to mention this listed as non original, as well: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOUL-INCORPORATED-MY-PROPOSAL-/302173027946?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150519202351%26meid%3D085c818a8fd3437fb8c4193117d98a03%26pid%3D100408%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D25%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D162329222614&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460
Guest Soulskate70 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted the above in Comedy Sale of the Day.... It can only be DJ's buying these repros as from a collectors point of view it's worthless.... Damn.... with near 30 years in print and reprographics I could produce near perfect labels and make a killing selling this crap.... which I won't do!!!

Frankie Crocker Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Makes you puke. Can't see a DJ buying this rubbish.Maybe someone who likes the tunes and is resigned to never owning them on original vinyl. Perhaps a dealer might want them as file copies to avoid the problems that will inevitably arise in future when other copies come to market. If you want to hear Arthur Willis and Soul Incorporated, best to attend a venue where top jocks spin the real thing... 1
Stanley Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 its a joke ,but as long as people keep buying this crap, the chancers will knock them up............ 2

I just can't understand why anyone would want to buy a bootleg/Repro for a three figure sum when they can just listen to a CD, MP3 or re-issue at home with nothing to prove to paying customers etc....

Maybe some novice pub-back room bootleg spinner but surely no self-respecting DJ would splash out on this trash. You can only listen to YouTube so much before wanting the records, so settling for what's available to spin at home seems the logical response (except paying hundreds for bootlegs is unbelievably stupid).
givemesoul Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 the guy listed it as a bootleg copy telling the morons it wasn't real but they still bid on it

Chalky Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Just goes to prove what we knew all along, eBay do not care that it is giving bootleggers a market place. Bootleg the first word in the description. 1
