Dobber Posted May 14 Posted May 14 bigger joke than 80% of records on discogs i reckon some sellers from the USA think we will pay anything for a record if it sounds remotely like a soul record!

Solidsoul Posted May 14 Posted May 14 (edited) It's a nice record that has been played on the scene from time to time, but that price is just extracting the Michael! Also I am beginning to hate it when sellers on ebay use the A.I. option to make the descriptions on items for sale. It creates a massive load of unnecessary waffle Edited May 14 by Solidsoul 2
Gary Brickwood Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Nice record but has been about for a few years ., haven’t a clue on value .. 1
Modernsoulsucks Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 It wasn't really the price I was pointing out. Blurb mentions "backed by renowned Lovelane music" and seller is Lovelanemusicgroup. 3

I thought that originally , but I assumed that because both sides just show as VR-1000 the 'Plug Side' wording is there to indicate the A-side , along with the general industry standard of promos being white labelled copies. But I'm certainly not going to argue the toss with the 'horses mouth' , even if the producer is noted on the label as Tommy Moers and Kaplan's only credited as co-writer of the flip , maybe someone's confusing producing with publishing which was done by Sammy's 'Lovelane Music'... ?

Tricky Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Thousands of demos were on issue copy labels as well as white labels. Even in Detroit off the top of my head Parliaments don't be sore at me.Fantastic four can't stop looking for my baby.Edwin Starr my kind of woman. My personal opinion is Sea Shells demo only. 1 on Discogs/ 7 on popsike.Plus those of us that have copies. Not a common record really.

I think that 'thousands of demos on issue copy labels' is over-egging it a bit , the three you mention are all clearly labelled as DJ Copy -Not for resale as well which the Villige 45 lacks.

I would lean to it being promo only with the plug side text.. if I’m honest I don’t really listen to what artists / label owners say so much as chances are after 50/60 their memory may be muddled and they probably can’t remember what they did last weekend 2 1

Hi - does anyone know the story on the 'yellow' it was mentioned by Gary Brickwood earlier in the thread and I think dismissed but indeed (whilst there is clear evidence of the reds) yes indeed on YouTube there does appear to be a yellow one also marked 'plug side' - so is this picture on you tube real? were some copies yellow? anyone know? (and presumably then if they did exist based on extant copies the yellow would be rarer)

Hi - I see what you are saying and it could be sun faded red turned orangey yes, bad image and/or edited but on the face of it it looks yellow, - just trying to establish if there ever were any yellow ones, evidence needed, I have no position on this just interested, asking if anyone knows.
Tricky Posted May 28 Posted May 28 No yellow copies. A couple of posters on you tube regularly change label colours on their uploads.Threw me at first but when you see label after label with a colour change you realise it’s artistic. 1

Usually those posting tracks that don't have the actual 45 to play , just an mp3 lifted from the net or a CD , so they have to grab an image wherever they can find it. Edited May 28 by Woodbutcher 1

Robbk Posted May 28 Posted May 28 10 hours ago, Chalky said: Could be a tax fiddle as tax not paid on demos? A very interesting theory! Knowing what some of the record company owners did to save money, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. And, of course, when the record shop owners complained that they got demos instead of store stockers, they would just apologise and claim it was a printing error, but the customers won't even notice the small print.

Cheers guys, was just interested, I wasn't suggesting there were any yellows just asking views following thread above, on the prevailing evidence it appears there are only red ones
