Someone who knows what he is talking about just wrote to me about this... VERY INTERESTING ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS ON THE INSPIRATIONS ACETATE----I DID A LOT OF BUSINESS WITH JOEY JEFFERSON AND BOUGHT A LOT OF RECORDS FROM HIM(WE SOLD TONS OF RECORDS ON HIS LABELS)---HIS ACTUAL RECORD STORE WAS REALLY BAD STOCK WISE MAINLY USED MAJOR LABEL ALBUMS AND LOOKED MORE LIKE A THRIFT STORE THAN A RECORD STORE-I WAS THERE A FEW TIMES AND HE WAS EASY TO DEAL WITH --I DON'T KNOW IF HE EVER HAD A FILE OF ALL HIS RECORDS-I DOUBT IT-BUT EVEN IF THEY ARE LEGIT --YOU REALL Y NEED A LABEL ON IT TO MAKE IT INTERESTING.--YOU CAN POST THIS ON SOUL -SOURCE IF YOU WANT--REGARDS JOHN ANDERSON

Really does look great!

It is a poor recording though compared to the Gold Token one, but it also has a brilliant B side (think it's called Please Don't Go?) A lot of people don't realise there are two cuts of Deceived as well.

Having said that - practically all copies I"ve seen have been black labels

Unusual that then, they usually make stacks of demos and nobody buys the issues. The one I've got is an issue.

Steve, issue ten times rare than demo surely?

Would have thought it's on both demo and issue. Reminds me, I have one to sell for someone, damaged sleeve but nice vinyl.

I've got a one sided metal acetate of Moses Dillard - I'll Pay The Price which I had done 15 years or so ago, I'll I put it in an old sleeve and write some comments on it and put it on Ebay and see what happens. What I'm saying is, if I was thinking of spending money on an acetate - and I know you are an acetate collector - I'd want a label on it or I'd want it to be an alternate cut.

How hard is it to write on a sleeve though?

So sorry to hear this. Condolences to all family friends and relations. RIP mate.

Not enough of an alternative mix for anyone I would have thought - you'd think it would be longer, not shorter, how can an original acetate be shorter than the released version when the two versions are identical?

If it had a label on it it would have been useful. n.b. I'm not for a second suggesting it's not legit. I'm saying I would never bid on a blank one sided acetate unless it had an alternate version of the track in question.

There's only one of those on Ebay though?

I could make an identical one like that and have it up on Ebay in a month, I can't believe anyone bid on it and the other one, suckers.

I didn't like it much but if this had come out 10 years ago you'd all be going "wow, Northern dancing, fantastic to see that in a video"

Probably just a regional variation, loads of Philips are on both colour labels

True, not a great financial investment but a great snapshot of the time 1972 to 1974, practically all of the top sounds of the era there on those 50 or so releases.

What track?

Don't compare it with Wayne Cochran Dave, that's a really cheap shot, I said I liked this one record the guy made, not that I thought he was the world's greatest singer, which he evidently isn't.

But the majority don't have those holes, only the early 70's ones.

Well he can't sing in tune and the musicians can't play in tune and the lyrics are crap but apart from that...

No not really Dave. I just think it's one of those you either love or hate.

Oh Mick Smith? He's in Spain at the moment but got a feeling he did a trade on that George Lemons.

Probably on me own here then, can't stand it.
