Oh come on ... it's elementary my dear Watson

no you can't Pete they are boots

Not by the sound of this.

The general view is that the orange one is bootleg. Can you prove what you are saying about it being an official release with Marton involvement please? That would help. Cheers Richard

Isn't the first Little Anthony & The Imperials? Thought so initially ... then I googled this and they are the same suits Richard

I always used to avoid W.O.L. like the plague and only wanted perfectly clean labels. Then I saw the light one day and started to appreciate some of the magic stuff that appears on labels, like date stamps, shop/distributor and other stamps, DJ scribbled comments. Even some crosses can make some labels look better I reckon Here's one I bought exactly because it had what I guess must be a DJ's comment on. This one shows that Sue Perrin wrote the song herself (writer credits missing from the label) and that she was "16 yrs from Det"[roit]. Great stuff in my book Cheers Richard CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE LARGER PICTURE

I have a WDJ Jock Mitchell - Not A Chance In A Million on Impact that I'm pretty sure has "COOP" on it - and if I recall correctly came from Shifty around that time. Cheers Richard

Oh no Stu that drives me barmy when people say complementing when they mean complimenting.

OK - thanks - thought you meant "typo" as in typographical/spelling error Cheers Richard

What's the typo please? Cheers Richard

My take on this is as follows: Jimmy "Soul" Clark catalogue/release number K106 - it is at the bottom of the label on both sides. The matrix number for the track "Soul" is C 100 in the left centre of the label. The matrix for "I Blew A Good Thing" is C 101 in a similar position. On the Volumes - the matrix for "Am I Losing You" is K 100 which is also in the left centre of the label. The matrix for "Ain't Gonna Give You Up" is K 101 in a similar position. That would make the catalogue/release number 1551 - which is at the bottom of the label on both sides. So I agree that while the label designs are the same, the numbering system is different. Cheers Richard

It wasn't in "A Collector's Guide To Detroit". Cheers Richard

Great thread this folks - keep it coming Cheers Richard

I know I started the thread but just thought of one myself Leah Dawson on Magic City on a DEMO - that seems to confuse many people. The white DJ bootlegs seem to be sold regularly as originals - and also sold regularly as bootlegs - but in my experience people don't also know there is an original white demo of this one. I've just confused the hell out of myself with that post Off to bed ... Cheers Richard

This came out on several formats. There's the plain yellow with black print, multi coloured label mainly green and black I think from memory, plain green, white label versions with and without "NOT FOR SALE" types DJ indicators on. Might be more versions. Don't think it was bootlegged Cheers Richard

ON air now people - TNT show 2 - Thursday. 7-9PM. Radio Newark. https://www.radionewark.co.uk GO TO TUNEIN ACTUALLY AS THERE WERE A FEW GLITCHES WITH THE PLAYER: https://tunein.com/radio/Radio-Newark-s193516/ Always a cracking show Cheers Richard

Thanks Derek So I guess the person could well have got an original copy then after all Cheers Richard

Hi Derek - welcome to Soulsource. So are you saying you still have this record and the eBay seller only used the scan? That was one of the possibilities I think I mentioned earlier. Or, did you sell on the copy in the scan and think that was the actual one for sale. Cheers Richard
