Hi Rodders , Guilty as Charged , but still unanswered is the fundamental Q.I. Is a machine stamp or hand scratched,, a guarantee of authenticity?{ Thinking of Similar Big lables to Motown; ,CBS ,Okeh ,Columbia etc,, I have a recent copy of Raphael Saadiq "Love That Girl"Columbia with hand scratched matrix looks dodgy, are Originals machine stamped?} Oh for the wisdom of the man in the big Woolly Cardy ,Johnny Manship. Cheers ,John

Hi Campagnolo1,{ I get it , you are a Cyclist ?} My original post : I bought a Straight Logo VIP demo off Graig Moerer Records USA for $85 in June 2019 including ship in Near Mint Condition , Superb item,with fully correct ,hand scratched matrix in run out plus ,"Best ",{The Pressing plant}. After bedtime reading of JM,s Booty Guide . Got a little moist and worried.?? Contacted Craig Moerer ,whom assured me they had, had many Daltons since 1965 ,a mix of hand and machine stamped matrixs, all where Kosher! As a massive Motown guy ,looking at many , discs ,stamped and scratched is the norm ,and as JM says always buy from reputable dealer !!,Would any one here doubt Mr Craig Moerer,s Reputation. ?? Cheers John , Malaga,Spain. y issues stamped or scratched is the norm .

Simply Not Real ; The First TMG series UK or Globally was TMG 501 in 1965! Dam clever these Italian time travellers Managed also to issue Isleys ,Martha ,etc. from 494 to 500 .? a cruel ploy to exploit those sad ,deranged ,OCDs obsessed with the big " A " ,I know I was one ! An Italian Job, TMG , was up on ebay last month starting bid £200 ,ouch !! .. Cheers ,John.

Hi Alan , Cheers for your info ,much appreciated the 2nd issue straight VIP lettering ,I have, has all the exact numbers ,stamped and hand etched as per you post, with after the matrix numbers appears to be "Best" written on a and b side run outs ,or is this an anagram for Boot?? Disc was bought from Highly respected U,S, dealer as a genuine later motown VIP dj copy ,Mint minus ,but actually looks amazing condition wise! John Manships guide talks of a Counterfeit lookalike from 70s with blank run outs , is this someone with a"Needle In The Run Out " Jobby ? The plot Thickens ? ,Cheers LOL ,John.

Hi Guys , on VIP straight logo white demo does the necessary RCA correct matrix number have to be machine stamped or hand scratched to be original legal 1st or 2nd company issue ?

Nope !! There are no better DJ,s than Ricardo!! Richard Memories :: 1974 Station Road ; constantly annoyed Richard to play " R.Dean.Taylor " ,As ,I,Am walking Down The Street etc every night at his 2 ,Am Spot,eventually on request number 7 he gave me a mint copy of beacon 136,in birth sleeve, forget marsden and garrick this was Ad fab {Richards flowery adjectives !}. Root and Jenny Jackson,stuffed it in my Speedo Holdall {with E blacked out] Rushed home to Coventry and played numerous times the Ultimate Turd version ,needless to say I never tested his immaculate patience again , What a true Diplomat! Advance 1976 :Stomperoonie Time , RS ,drops the Garrard Sp mk 3 on a new release Tavares " Heaven must Be Missing an Angel Jane SS " Perfecto ,then Smith Bros , he introduced me to Modern Soul! On a recent "Solar Radio " Show ,Richard Bemoaned the fact he hated the misery of current News ,well if more of us could be like R.S etc,etc ? Finally a certain tune of his on General American ,should be his acceptance accolade, " Nothing Can Compare To You ",Mr Searling I Salute you Soul Brother ! LOL Johnny Hart ,Malaga ,Spain.
