From the initial numbered first boxed set, as stated above, Forever In My Heart had a tendency to skip on some set ups. It plays 100% ok on my GyroDec/Rega arm turntable, however the same disc skips on both my Technics 1210 players.
I could be wrong about the stamp, memory isn't what it was. Yours is definitely an original though Bo and your photo makes a good comparison against the boot.
Image of the boot, this was my copy that I sold on eBay last year - the buyer promptly sold it on the same platform for double what he paid me by kind of suggesting it might be an original...
Basically, the print quality on the boot isn’t quite as sharp as a real one, the sound quality gets slightly distorted towards the end and the ‘bed’ stamp is missing from the run-out area.
Hi Chalky,
Photos of the record I sold are in my 1st post, these are what I used on ebay. Image that buyer sent from discogs is above Pottsy's post of the run-out area.
Well, after pointing my buyer in the direction of this thread, he remains unconvinced and it seems the record is being returned on the basis of a single misconstrued Discogs image.
Thanks to all of you for the information and confirmation that you’ve provided - it all adds to the goldmine of knowledge that is Soul Source.

Buyer also sent me this image as evidence that I lied about my record being from the 1970’s, but 2004 instead. As mentioned earlier, the more modern boot is missing the hyphen between Del and Larks. 2004 is the catalogue number printed on the label
Yes, that is a selectable option. However, I may be better off arranging to go and collect it in person - I wouldn’t want it getting lost... that would be exceptionally bad luck.
It has crossed my mind, but I have no choice but to take what he says at face value. I don’t think that I have to refund before I receive the record back in any case. I could always opt to go and collect it instead.
Interesting, mine is 100% 70's too...
I've owned it since I was 15/16 years old - I'm now 59...
Maybe it's a rare boot! I'll let the thread carry on for a while and see where we end up. I'm more than happy to get it back and refund the buyer if that's how it works out.
I recently sold my Del-Larks pressing on ebay that I bought via Mick Flello in the 1970's.
The buyer has suggested that it is in fact a 2004 pressing - it most definitely isn't - and wants a full or partial refund (see his ebay message and photos of my record attached)
I would appreciate it if one or two of you knowledgeable guys could respond to this post so that I can assure this buyer that his 45 is indeed from the 1970's!
Thank you,
Andrew

An odd choice of song for Bruce Springsteen to cover. Other than to make a few dollars, there could be a specific reason of course
I guess it'll get lots of radio airplay, but I doubt it will go down as a classic with his fans.
I don't get out much these days, so could someone tell me what this record is please?
It's not very clear, but it sounds nice to me.

Yep, I remember the comment too. I had a look on YouTube out of interest and saw the 'live' performance. I then bought copy of the record - just because I liked it and it was no more than the price of a pint.
As has already been said, he does sound similar to Dean Martin.
I’ve seen very few live soul acts if I’m honest, however I would choose Edwin Starr.
I saw him multiple times with ‘The Team’. Several times singing to backing tracks and on one (brilliant, as it turned out) occasion, totally A cappella - the backing track machine failed, but that didn’t stop the show.
What a great entertainer and lovely man he was.
