As I posted earlier the one Mark W posted and that on issue 17 SOS look remarkably one and the same, unlike the one posted by Chalky. As you note Lily/Lillie spelling. There is a note in SOS that the Carl Fortnum copy had been around a long time and at one time JM had it for sale @ £8.

Shades of Soul Issue 17 front cover with Monarch Test Press of Lillie Bryant. Carl Fortnums copy at the time. Looks like the same copy in Mark W post.

"Remember seeing it on the front cover of Shades of Soul and thinking it was rare soul treasure, but not the case as it turns out!" Issue 17 That one belonged to Carl Fortnum The same copy as pictured above in Mark W post

All gone now. Regards

Not sure if seen before but here goes. Just click and see .

The link to the thread I posted previously. It may help solve how many copies, from where, etc there are!!!! Apologies, it jumps to halfway through thread , but just scroll back

This may help, JM post from 2006. "To clear a few questions up on the Salvadors. 1. very first original press is St. Louis, vinyl is THICKER @ (1.18mm) with NO pimples in the vinyl, the green label is a deeper shade. I only known of one copy of this press, Carl Willingham owned it, I sold it to Australian collector for £2500 in really poor shape vg-. But it was the ONLY known copy. 2.Chicago press thinner vinyl @ (1.09mm vinyl) label is a lighter shade ie (the one we have on auction)has TWO visible pimples on the playing surface, these do NOT affect play but you can see them if you twist the record in the daylight. The matrx in the deadwax reads 62771 this number is lightly scratched in and staggered. Worth 2500 to 3500 we'd guess. The deadwax matrix on both presses are IDENTICAL ie using the same masterplate. 3. The PB boots as Ted M. rightly points out came out of Los Angeles via our friend and yours Simon S. He did Mel Britt, George Blackwell, Johnny Vanelli, and many others at the same time all have P.B. in the deadwax. This gave birth to the story of Bob Cattaneo travelling from S.F. to L.A. to buy Simons latest fantastic find. When Bob saw all these top titles in mint condition he smelt a rat and on close inspection found P.B. in all the 45 deadwax's. Bob told Simon you can't sell these as originals. Simon admitted they looked a bit NEW, so he got George Blackwell our its sleeve and violently rubbed it on his carpet. (a ploy used on the Four Vandals scam) "there they look used now!!" 4.Then there is the dark blue label and obvious bootleg in styrene 1976 repro Delta # 100273 5. Then there is the same with a Light blue label. Edited June 18, 2006 by john manship"

Picking up on this old thread, I have a copy (demo presumably), however the markings are not as mentioned previously. The run out grooves are 13mm on mono side and 10mm on stereo side. On the mono side it has etched in GSFM 1179 twice and 340. On the stereo side it has GSFS 1179 etched once and also 340 (but a lot smaller). There is no PB or G on either side that I can see. The record is a vinyl copy. Got this in the 70's and assume it is a bootleg.

Any ideas on the going price for this on Phoof original (ultrasonic stamped) Issue or Demo as there don't seem to be any for sale. All on Discogs are second issue. Thanks in advance

Kenny Shepard was definitely an eighties play. Was played extensively by Glen(n) Knight at the Holy Cross Soul Nights (Wellington St Leics) run by Rudzy. Great nights they were too

Did Graham Warr let slip to Ian Levine when at the Catacombs about a hoard of records he had discovered in America, that Levine went out and collected and effectively closed down the source of rare soul to the Cats as he took them to the Mecca. Disclaimer - I could be wrong Any thoughts please. R E Gards
