Only ever came out on a Goldmine Sevens vinyl british release about 4 or 5 years or so ago. Track was never released in the States. ( Although Diane Lewis did release a couple of singles on Wand - one being a rare and expensive item) This track also came out on a goldmine compilation CD - Detroit Soul From the Vaults Vol 1. Must be Brown & Koppel got the rights to an official release. Single on Goldmine should be around £15-00 I guess (Note some copies have reversed labels)

Cliff did you miss the one on Ebay a month ago went for something like $800 Never mind. Anyway have a good one tonite, cant make it as I have my lad staying with me

1.Thou must always try to bamboozle a DJ during his spot, by asking for that record that you dont know the title or artist, by attempting to sing or hum your favourite catchy bit. 2.Thou must occasionally walk over to the Dj and peer at what is on the decks by moving your head in a circular motion in order to read the record label. 3.Thou must not annoy the record dealer by taking out great wadges of records from his boxes and then putting them back in the box back to front or in a different place in the box. 4.Thou must annoy the Dj when he is looking at his records, by changing the speed of the decks or turning the next record he is going to play over or pinching the record centres.

Ward Burton (Sweet Temptation) a far better dance version Tes IMO. I think I'fn is on the other side of the Sweet Temptation record too

3 fantastic buys by me in the entrance/record room at St Ives in the late seventies from guys who all thought they were boots..... A real CONNIE CLARK - JOKER @ £1-00 A real MATT LUCAS - KAREN @ £10-00 cos the guy thought it looked dodgy and not at all like all the other Karen labels he had seen. And of course A real SWEETS - SATISFY ME BABY - SOULTOWN @ £4-00 With the vocal b side with the right vinyl with the right deadwax and matrix stamp. Sadly sold em all when the first big collection went in early 80's

Sent you a message OK

Think the Philharmonics is around £40 now specially since Katrina. I would have said £400 for the Eddie Taylor im shocked at £600. Jyve Five Decca issue £70 Sandy Wynns, Obrey Wilson, Billy Thompson, Little Hank I agree with Tony & Smudger

Yeah and in the 70's I had a Vauxhall CHAVEZ or is that Chevette which had a really big one for putting me Luggage in.

Correct me somebody If Im wrong but I,ve never seen an original Freddie Chavez with a RED LOOK label. Thought original issues were LIGHT BLUE on vinyl and WHITE demos on vinyl only. Some guy from the Notts area on Ebay UK giving it the big write up as a defo original... not sure myself

I have an original first issue stock copy on Bullet. Label is yellow writing black with bullet down left hand side Sorry cant do a scan.

Now you've jogged my memory your right, the boot label did say Bobby Robinson, sorry. Was a few years ago I sold the boot. Dont think the sound quality of the boot was very good either.

I believe the Bobby Robinson Label IS the original and was an indy label The scan shown of the BR label IS an original which is very rare, the label is moulded into the record which is vinyl. The record WAS booted on a BR label but the boot has a paper stuck on label on a Styrene record. I know this because I sold the boot for a tenner to J Manship this went on his second issue list and is quite rare as a boot.I acquired an original vinyl copy from a really good collection, I sold the original on to Tim Brown as he didnt have it he gave me £350 for it back in 2002. Pretty sure this info is right

Why not get the scammer, oops I mean 'seller' to divulge the credits to Voodoo Woman on other side as a check and see what happens If he dont reply then say goodbye.... If he really has got a copy and expects big bucks surely he wont mind co-operating with a prospective bidders questions will he ?

I was in the batch of bidders for the first copy advertised And yes I got a second chance offer.... And yes I bought one to replace my VG copy. Paid $700 for it, got it a week later... STONE MINT Sold my VG copy(which I paid £300 for from Shifty) to another well known dealer for £350 Doing the maths I've ended up with a MINTER for £250 RESULT!!!!

got a nice purple promo of Bobby Bland - Getting used to the blues £25 If you are interested.

ISONICS - SUGAR - KAMMY For a massive $9-99 SHADOWS - MY LOVE HAS GONE - USA a princely $1-00 VELVET SATINS - NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO YOU - GEN AM SWIRL WDJ a bargain price of $29-00

Deltics!!!! Didnt they do a version of that 'Arabia' around 64

Hi all I was also one of the bidders, I was very tempted as I would like to replace my Vg copy. The condition of the scanned label looks superb. I have checked Popsike and this scan is not there so seemed genuine enough. However I have also had a second chance offer at $700 !! What do you do? I would only hope If genuine that Its not another Clara Hardy situation, do you go for It or wait. The only thing that seems strange is that the winner, who we all know is a dealer, had a winning bid of $1100 approx, Marks been offered a copy or two for $1000 and I have been offered a couple at $700. So how many are there cos' I know If I payed $1100 for a copy and lived near the seller I might be pi**ed off If others were being offered them a lot cheaper.

Got this fantastic list sent thro the post from the States in the late 70's The list came from a certain Simon Soussan The list boasted some really rare soul on 'Original Labels' I bought a Mel Britt, Salvadors and a Danny Monday When they arrived it was obvious they were all boots but on 'original Labels' The Mel Britt was the boot that is vinyl with the ZTSC matrix 'around' the deadwax with a moulded label. The Salvadors was good though, and very hard to distinguish from a real one in colour and label text but dead wax lettering was wrong. The Danny Monday WAS a red label but had the Small Modern logo as the one shown above. All of these records were made of good quality vinyl much more akin to a 70's pressing plant... probably where Soussan got them made.

This is a 70's boot alright.... Another punter who's going to show his collector mates his 'rare' ebay acquisition only for there to be embarrasing silence and the nodding of heads. What p*sses me off mostly about this is the fact that some of these ebay sellers believe they are selling the real article or have they also been conned in the past when they bought these 'originals'. I have sometimes contacted sellers like this in similar situations and giving them the benefit of the doubt, have informed them as to wether they were aware that the record they were selling was a boot and sadly a majority of the time I've been told to mind my own business. This is really frustrating because you know some unfortunate is eventually going to be very dissapointed as in this case. Records I've seen for sale as 'originals' like this that I can remember :- John & the Wierdest (not correct deadwax markings) Gloria Jones - Tainted Love WDJ Styrene copy (but did not have promotion copy not for sale on label) The Ellingtons (Castle label silver with blue text) Judy street (styrene) Luther Ingram (HIB orange 70's re-release) Connie Clark (Styrene but with a lighter yellow paper label and much wider deadwax runout area) Candi Staton (Unity not correct deadwax markings) Tomangoes (Styrene) and (70's Vinyl with no nashville matrix) Trips (Soulville not correct deadwax markings) and the list goes on... You can even see some of these blunders if you look in 'Popsike'

Yes and sad to say some silly so and so has to date put a £51-00 bid on ebay on a bootleg as the left scan shown.

Hi there Beware!!! This record was bootlegged on a look-a-like The same royal blue and silver looking label. BUT the original only has a Frankford Wayne master stamp in the deadwax I agree with Mark he's right on price.
