WendyTinley Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Just going through my record box and started putting various items on ebay... and I admit to knowing bugger all about what's good and what's not... complete and utter novice am I! I have, what I am sure is a copy on a 45 of Being Without You: Maurice Williams... 'tis a maroon coloured Deesu Records label with gold lettering... sadly some one has stamped E109319 on the label... grrr... Just played it, first time in 20 plus years and it sound pretty good still... so how much for a copy or whatever is the correct terminology for a copied 45?
Guest Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Wendy , its a brilliant record one of my faves originals are about £60ish luv Di xxx

Chalky Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) sadly you have a re-issue , how much its worth, perhaps 20 tops depending on condition that might be a little high originals have a nashville matrix stamp in run out and are green with gold lettering Edited July 25, 2008 by chalky
Dave Fleming Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 originals have a nashville matrix stamp in run out and are green with gold lettering Also booted on green with the gold lettering but no "Nashville" stamp,but looks very much like the originals. Dave f............
Guest Matt Male Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) originals have a nashville matrix stamp in run out and are green with gold lettering Top shelf northern soul dancer. As much as we complain about oldies, this is one of those that never loses it's appeal (for me anyway) Green with gold lettering? What's this then, or did you mean green with silver? Actually the more i look at it in the light it does look a bit gold.... Edited July 25, 2008 by Matt Male

Dave f............ dave, your confused, but only slightly the 2 boots are 1. green with SILVER lettering (a Record Haven rip-off, counterfeit) 2. burgundy with GOLD lettering. (we were told these were originals when they appeared..and it fooled nobody) original is green with GOLD lettering which we regularly sell @ £150 if pristine. £100 used.. which most are.
WendyTinley Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 Cheers for all your responses... so what do I use as a description for this Maurice Williams... do I call it a boot in the description? Does a boot mean a pressing too? Here's a picture of the label... What starting price would I be wise to put in ebay? Currently I have three 45s for sale which I listed yesterday nobody has visited yet so probably they are not very popular... do I have the prices about right? Otis Blackwell: It's All Over Me Columbia: 10654 B side: Just Keep It Up Condition E- There is one faint mark/scratch on the A side and one also on the B side. Plays excellently! Starting price £5.00 and buy now at £8.00 The Show Stoppers: How Easy Your Heart Forgets Me MGM 1436 Other side: Eeny Meeny Condition E- There are faint marks and scratches and the label is in an good condition. There is a mark of where a sticker has been on the Eeny Meeny side label. This 45 plays excellently! This 45 still has its original sleeve which is in a poor condition. Starting price £5.00 and buy now at £10.00 The Velours: I'm Gonna Change UK MGM 2006-603 2nd press Condition E. Plays excellently with very, very faint marks and scratches and the label is in an excellent condition. Starting price £2.00 and buy now at £5.00
Steve L Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I'd start the M Williams at £3 and describe it as a reissue/2nd isssue/pressing. Yes boots and pressings are the same thing ie illegal releases ( its all very confusing I know ) The others look OK to me
Epic Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Maurice Williams - The finest piece of Northern Soul I have ever heard - Perfection!!!!

Steve Plumb Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Maurice Williams - The finest piece of Northern Soul I have ever heard - Perfection!!!! Agree Mr Epic one of the very finest..................evokes wonderful memories too

I found a silver lettering boot in Downstairs Records in NYC in 1990. Odd. As for Epics comment, it really is one of the best.

Steve not usual really, as all the "Record Haven" counterfeits were made in New York..the presser "retained" the over-runs and passed them onto "Downstairs".I've found quite a few boots in the USA over the years especially New York, where so many "fakes" originated.
