steve Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Is the Brown Big top with both these sides on it a boot or reissue? Thanks. I got mine on blue big top, I think it came out first on yellow big top, but I stand to be corrected Steve
paup-ine Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I got mine on blue big top, I think it came out first on yellow big top, but I stand to be corrected Steve West Coast press 1st release - Yellow .
Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I got mine on blue big top, I think it came out first on yellow big top, but I stand to be corrected Steve My copy is a vinyl east coast white demo. Just wondered what makes you think it came out on the west coast before the east coast? I beleive Big Top was an New York label and Lou Johnson recorded there.
Guest Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I too thought he was NYC based Maybe labels pressed in different colour for different distribution areas - something quirky remember they are yanks

45cellar Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Yes that's mine, Thanks Matey, what is the value of the original blue copy? can I afford to retire? Not sure on Current Prices. I only have the 3rd Edition Price guide and we're now up to 5th Edition. In the 3rd Edition £50 - Yellow Label £25 - Blue Label
Northern Soul Uk Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Just looked on JM's site and it's going for £30, not too bad then, I'm £25 up on the deal.

Northern Soul Uk Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Nice one Mate, That's brilliant, pleased for you. Just shows there are still bargains out there. Yes that's true, I've picked up a few lately just by sheer 'determination' (nothing to do with Dean Parrish - Boom Boom) Like the original copy of 'Dust my broom - Ike and Tina on tangerine 'Tangerine' records for £8, and 'Judy Clay - you busted my mind' on 'US Scepter' demo for £5.25, and of course, paid a bit more for this one 'The Apollas - Mr Creator' on 'US Warner' demo for £25. But I think the the best 2 I've won were 'Solomon King - This Beautiful day - UK Columbia Demo for £25, later sold for £109, and Pookie Hudson - This get's to me' on Original white and gold 'US Jamie', for £9, sold later for £119. At the end of the day it's all down to the time you're willing to put into looking for them, and of course, knowing where to look. Thank you for your kind words and invaluble advise Steve
45cellar Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) A few missing colours. -- That West Coast Styrene ""MAGIC POTION" & "UNSATISFIED" White DEMO are nice to own Mate. Thanks for Posting them. Edited October 7, 2008 by 45cellar
Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Did I post this one in the other LJ thread? Bulletproof vinyl just like Eddie Parker and precisions on Stone. Edited June 4, 2009 by Guest
45cellar Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Did I post this one in the other LJ thread? Bulletproof vinyl just like Eddie Parker and precisions on Stone. Hi Steve. Yes Mate. That copy is a Beauty, so desirable the Label says it all Quality. I always look out for stuff on Canadian Labels, very often a lot harder to find than US Labels. Never seen this one before on Quality, Thanks for Posting it.
Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Me too roger.....I like the "What label is that on" look from the next DJ up....I had a mint Jackie Payne, his 1st recording, "Go Go Train" on the same label, payed pennies for it, it was in the original sleeve with the delivery drivers details hand stamped on both label and sleeve, a really interesting find and a bloody good record to boot. Although I gave it to Pete Everett for his bithday Darrell Banks Somebody, somewhere.... as you will no doubt know is on the same. Somehow north of the border labels and liquorice seem better thought out and better QUALITY!
Guest Dante Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) This is the Vinyl BOOT / Counterfeit on BLUE PAPER __BOOT __BOOT Has a Very Narrow Deadwax on the "UNSATISFIED" side with 6514 Scratched in Hi Roger, My copy is also blue (which hasn't been on this thread, I think), but it's definitely not paper. It looks like the label is printed/painted directly on the vinyl. Matrix is also 6514 and then two very small letters: L and W (could be M, as they're placed parallel to the grooves) stamped, or so it seems: they're so small I can't tell for sure. Don't have a scanner or camera at the moment, but I'll try to sort a pic by the weekend. I doubt this is a boot, as I got it in Detroit if I remember correctly, but you never know. Thanks in Advance, Dante Edited May 22, 2009 by Dante
45cellar Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Hi Dante Yes, I know the type of press, although I haven't a copy of "UNSATISFIED" here is a Similar Scan. Perfectly O.K.

I'm still pretty sure it's an original, as I've said, I bought it in People's Records Detroit, so... Bestway or Raised "B" Normally. The scan of Magic Potion Instr. doesn't have either, I'm sure that these presses are O.K.

Thank you for your kind words and invaluble advise Steve Hi Steve It's great to hear you're still keeping the faith and, collecting soul records again! I have also picked up a few great records at bargain prices, including a Lou Johnson for $9.99 - a bit more than you paid! I have many great memories of the Central and, the people I met there (yourself included). It would be good to see you at a venue some time All the best Dave Raby Edited September 18, 2009 by SoulClimber
