GENE CHANDLER - IN MY BODY'S HOUSE - CHECKER Superb tune Adam - gives the Big Man Huey a run for his money and not that easy to find...

I'm sure I knew this but after just being asked the question I couldn't remember for the life of me.. Boots, but more specifically counterfeits, cause serious arse pain for the collector when done with an intimate knowledge of the original details.. Among many aspects - vinyl/styrene, pressing quality material/sound, labels colour/paper/font and even the the spacing of run in and run out - after the more obvious it mostly falls on the identification of dead-wax details (placement, size, style, spacing etc etc) But can somebody please tell me which is the more difficult to counterfeit/replicate - either the 'stamped' details or those we term 'scratched in' - and further whether this is usually the best method of counterfeit id.. Thanks in advance....

If only Jordi - definitely one you shouldn't have skipped - been looking for a copy for ages myself and not a sniff at anything under £400

Nice tunes Phil - and if that's from memory you've got the mind of Einstein

I was under impressed when I first picked this up but I think it's a grower - the tune starts weakly but by the time of the great vocal break at 1.03 in I'm hooked - Pookie's vocal is ok but the break is real crossover class imo...

Gary Brown was well priced - don't see it for sale clean too often.

Good price (imo) for a great double sider..

Apart from the album the only other issue I can find is as below - not sure how legit it is:

I thought the flip to the Philips issue is 'When You Are Who You Are' which is also good..(?)

Ru-Jac first - another good tune also by Gene & Eddie on Ru-Jac is 'Sweet Little Girl' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Wndx6k-v8

Have to agree - the Heart Break side is sweet..

Just as I was writing "Great Price on Jimmie Raye" Azza you sold it. Not surprised, it's been fetching almost double that recently..

Great mix of tunes Sebastian - really enjoyed it - something for everyone in style and budget.. Nice to see not all $$$ 45's - best example for me being 'The Eight Minutes - TAKE MY LOVE DON’T SET ME FREE' which is a nice sound and still very affordable. Regards Greg.

On Wand for the cache but Despenza / DESPENZA for the price concious new millionaire who prefers vinyl to styrene

Typically intelligent response from the SS gang - always one step ahead - especially like the idea of uploading a photo of your details LOL Don't agree that they should be controlling how we talk to each other though as requesting sound files is a legitimate request in my view.. Viva la Libertad Viva el Pueblo!

Just tried to contact a seller on eBay to request a sound clip to assess condition and as I sent the messsage this big message flashed in front of me - the first time I've seen it: For your safety, eBay does not allow the exchange of email addresses in member to member communications . This protects both buyers and sellers by keeping a track record of communications. It also helps ensure that transactions happen on eBay so buyers and sellers are covered by eBay protection programs. Please remove the email address and resend your message. If you want to receive photos from another eBay member, you do not need to share your email address. Buyers and sellers can now attach images to messages sent from eBay by using the “Attach Photos” button. Now we know this is not 'For Your Safety' don't we - this is a back handed way for eBay to stop all off eBay contact wherever they can. So now, surprise surprise, unless a seller includes some external link in the eBay advert there will be no way of ever doing a deal off the eBay site.. It seems poor eBay don't think we are safe and need their help in order to increase their profits!!!

Shimmy, as you say you're relatively new the first thing I'd say is 'hold on and enjoy the ride' ! Prepare for pleasure, pain and a budget deficit From your question you are already suffering from VINYLITIS a common side effect of the 45 collecting bug - symptoms such as extreme compulsions for completeness (original sleeves in this case) and anxiety (the need to protect the vinyl at all costs) are common.. Good luck in managing the condition going forward and remember it's the others who are odd
