You can always ask him to confirm. Best Mick

One of my all time favourite artists. There appears to be one here on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/buy/Vinyl/Johnnie-Taylor-Friday-Night-Steal-Away/138401788?ev=bp_rel_det Ignore the image on the release page as this is generic. The read the record description. Best Mick

Perhaps worth noting that the RCA copy was re-issued on the flip of a rather idiosyncratic beat ballad called "time hangs on my mind", not a version of the Temps "Get Ready", as on the others: As it happens both were produced by the UK Popster and producer Keith Mansfield.

Interesting wasn't aware of the RCA issue until now. Wondered if it might have been a re-take, but the Youtube RCA clip sounds the same to me. A CBS issue was auctioned by Manship a couple of months ago, it fetched £109, though he tends to get exceptional offers. See here: I think its a great UK production, worth a spin on any label. I confess to having owned the same copy since 1969 and only pulled it out when I saw the Manship Auction.

What's going on in these people's minds?

Pretty well established on the scene that Jerry Cook and Alexander Patton boots were cut with ripped off Capitol Labels. Funnily enough I was checking out a copy of "A little lovin" tonight out of curiosity for that reason, see here: (Though this looks legit to my eyes)https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alexander-Patten-A-Lil-Lovin-Sometimes-Northern-Soul-45-Capitol-HEAR-/191121504221?_trksid=p2054897.l4275&autorefresh=true or see this one: https://www.popsike.com/ALEXANDER-PATTON-A-LITTLE-LOVINSOMETIMES-US-CAPITOL-EX-/271294035368.html The other well known one is "the Dalton Boys" white VIP demo, which I once bought from a well known US dealer who had sourced a number of copies from the UK. This was some years ago and I got a full refund. He now sells these are re-issues. It seems to me that many of those mentioned above are well known boots, many having design variations from the originals. Mel Britt, the Malibu's, Sandra Philips,Mary Saxton and The Vondell's are all pretty good look a likes, but relatively easy to check these days. Interesting thread though.

Ha,ahh,ha,ha! aaargh!

Yes apparently, see here: https://www.popsike.com/N-SOUL-POPCORN-JUSTIN-JONES-DANCE-BY-YOURSELF/190773723700.html

Sorry about the misleading info, though I swear that last time I tried to report a few weeks ago , that's what I came across. Wish I'd taken screen shots. See here: https://pages.ebay.com/vero/others.html The user forums are full of complaints about lack of action and feedback. here's what Ebay say themselves: "Your report will not be shared with the member you are reporting. We are happy to receive such information, but due to privacy laws, eBay cannot follow up and let you know the status of your report or inform you of any action we may have taken." Thanks Mick

Same here. In fact bootleg reporting has become more difficult . Ebay require the reporter to download and print off a copy of their form, then Fax it to them. We ain't got a fax machine. Unless someone knows something else that I/ve missed,that is.

I can only echo everyone's comments. A fabulous release from 2004, originally as a numbered limited edition CD by Hip-O-Select who specialise in the Motown back catalogue. Further copies and the MP3 version were made available much later.
