Didn't the sleeves come from Shively or Catteneo or someone ?

Sold a boot last year £100 ohmy.gif

No such thing as a good boot.

I dunno. Jimmy Choo knocks up the occasional beaut

I heard that loads of genuine GSF records were taken out of GSF company sleeves for The Anderson Bros boot to go in. True or false?

back in the early 70's

i think he paid 2 dollars each for them to be made as near

perfect as possible

GSF sleeves story is ceratinly true.

Surely everyone can remember who stuffed us with Detroit Soul, Timothy Wilson, Epitome Of Sound, Anderson Bros, Carstairs, Dave Newman, Maurice Williams counterfeits and many more..

Then whilst living in New York he had an amazing ABC promo find and sent out a list perhaps someone still has a copy... Yum Yums, Eddie Regan promo's were on it very reasonably priced and ripped us all off again, our fault really for trusting him.

Don't blame Sousann or Daly City Bob for everything, they were only a small part of the Northern Soul scene explotation of collectors.

Perhaps the man who did all these and many more will step forward after all these years.. I personally get on with him OK and it's water under the bridge but he was a very naughty boy when he was younger, weren't you .....

Love it! thumbsup.gif ...but one thing, maybe John can answer this, in (I think) Soul Time mag back in early '77 it was said that Danny Wagner "I lost a true love" had been booted in limited quantities, never been able to ascertain if this was so and what the differences were from the original. This must have been around the same time as the Yum Yums boot....

Danny Wagner to my knowledge has never been counterfeit. In the seventies the scene was rife with rumours of what were bootlegs and what was not. If anyone found more than a few copies of any titles..the cry "Bootleg" went up.

Of the five copies we have there are THREE different pressings all look authentic to me. Interestingly one is a very slightly different take IM-6476 (1) 66305 in the deadwax. this seems to be the rarest of the press. all the others presses on styrene or vinyl are take 6476.

Thanks John, excellent reply! Yes, you're certainly right about the "rumour mill" of the time!

Nothing much has changed there then john, except they now cry "There's shed loads".
