Before the Iranian revolution, Iran was quite a 'Westernised' country and pressed up loads of pop EPs, many of which contained Motown tracks.
Would love a full list of what got pressed up over there.
A perfect example of why current auctions shouldn't be hi-lighted on Soul source threads (Unless it's an obvious boot being passed off as an original.).
I was watching the Natural Four hoping to bag a bargain, but there's feck all chance of that happening now.
Cheers.
Definately got played in the early 90s as I bought a Charly LP by Cissy Houston just for the track, since I couldn't locate a 45 at the time.
The LP came from Hitsville Records, Rockingham Street, Sheffield - who closed down in the mid-90s?
In what way is it a 'saving'?
What do you have to show for your cash but a load of CDRs full of poor/compressed recordings?
The main people on the thread commenting are those who have been involved in the release of CDs via the regular route.
Personally I couldn't give a toss if a 45 I own on original is put out on an official CD - and good luck to anyone who buys them.
I.M.O you are comparing different formats to excuse you being a 'handler of stolen goods'/'thief' (of intellectual rather than physical property - but a thief never-the-less).
Its the same copy that was sold earlier in the month - read the description and listen to the sound file.
Obviously the bidder has either pulled out on the sale or sent it back.
