What’s transparent about ebay, more dodgy listings and shill bidding going off? its the sellers prerogative is it not how they sell their property?

Have you phoned them cause only you it would seem that has a problem?

Trying clearing cache/cookies etc. Seems to be working fine for others

Me too, the box to enter your bid is on the right and the button to submit your bid is to the right of the text box. He is obviously missing something 😜

No site factors shipping in, discogs is the best at giving you an average price as you can see the sales history. Anyway, this is digressing from the topic.

Popsike probably the most unreliable resource when checking prices, its the last place I check. At least discogs are actual set sales, yes the odd anomaly, take the extremes out and you can find an average. Many sellers no longer bother with Ebay.

John Manship makes a welcome return to the studios of Radio Newark to join Dean Anderson and Gez on the Sound Of Soul ™ for two hours of quality soul music & chat. Not to be missed!

what is the bootleg? looks like it has been removed

The label carries the name of a well known bootlegger. The label directors were implicated and sentenced on the recent bootlegging case. Surely that would raise doubts straight away. Just because the label claims a license was taken is as I said often meaningless. The very presence is meant to give a/the release some authenticity when in reality they are probably far from it, certainly the US material. I mean who is going to check up?

Never seen a copy of this on the shade it is, all the others I’ve seen are the dark blue. Can’t make any decision though based on a photograph.

They did do/sell some some things which were lawful

The fact it says "licensed from" means bugger all. And I'm sure one of the dodgy bunch operated out of Suffolk (Ipswich). How accessible is Henry Stone's music since he passed away?

Burnett a name in the news not so long for the wrong reasons

No Andy just refers to the plant that pressed the record.

There are at least two gold copies of the Professionals. Robin Salter found one in I believe Ohio of all places. Think Tim Ashibende may have found the other.

what a pointless topic on another note isn't this the second copy John has auctioned?

It was Guy. The Soul Full Two (Fi Yi Dance) was played a few years before.

Dean Anderson is joined on the Sound Of Soul™ on Independence Day by the dynamic duo Brian Goucher and Andrew Dyson. Two hours of pure quality soul right across the soul spectrum plus the usual banter and comic interludes from Mr D.

I have the original Maxx Lp. Massive mid 80s too.

Joining Dean Anderson and Gez on the Sound Of Soul ™ is the dynamic duo from Diggin' Deep Records Sean Hampsey and his very good long time mate Kev Briscoe. Both have a wealth of knowledge all things SOUL and bring you two hours of pure quality.

Dean's interview with Randy and Bertram Brown.

I see the LP is getting a rerelease too, I'll wait for that.
