What I meant was that there is a sudden flurry / surge of re-issues / boots being released almost all at once.

But you make a valid point and I'd be a bit upset too if my intention was to play Arthur Griswold (which I also have a copy of on Fortune) a little later on, only to be pipped at the post by a re-issue. Oh well, I suppose it makes us work that bit harder to stay one step ahead of the game. Having said that, I'll bear your analogy in mind for November.

Unashamed BUMP!!! Can SOMEBODY please help me with a copy?

Interesting work and an interesting read. Thanks Phil.

Forgive my ignorance Phil but which re-issue record label would that be?

Very good point. That's the least obvious but the most frustrating side effect concerning re-issues / boots.

Don't forget everybody reading this thread over the next few weeks, I'm after a copy of; Wishin And Hopin on UK Stateside So if you can help me out with a copy, please send me a PM (private message) with condition and asking price. Thanks.

For some reason, there suddenly seems to be an abundance of re-issues / boots flooding the market. Whilst I have my own opinions in regard to this practice, I can't help wondering who is most upset by all this, the recording artists, the collector, or the DJs who ply their trade using the 'original' copies?

Thanks everybody for contributing to this thread. But I think you'll all agree, a special thanks must go to 'boba'. Cheers pal. Sorry I wasn't involved towards the end of this thread but I've been ill the last couple of days. Thanks again everybody.

Bugger me, no I ddn't. One of those horribly repeating occasions when I forgot to go back and put a bid on it, even if only to keep it in mind.

Come on Guys, what are you doing letting this slip off the bottom of the page? In other words . . . . . Bump!!! I need answers.

Tried that. Seems to have fallen on deaf ears. I asked the seller for the info I was after before posting off the record but he wasn't interested. So I asked him to forward my request on to the buyer. Got no response. He could have passed it on to the buyer who is also not interested, I don't know. So I have to try and contact the buyer direct now to see what happens.

Who was it that posted up on Soul Source not long ago, saying that there is a way of identifying an eBay buyers username from the coding eBay seem to use these days when listing the bidders, eg i***s or e***k etc. Only, I'd like to contact a recent eBay buyer with a question about a record they won (no, it's not will you please sell it to me) to add to information I'm collecting for a little project I'm doing. Please PM me if you can help

Oh, sorry, didn't know that? Well, what about linking to some other site for sound files?

Can others suggest or send you details of other UK releases that may be of interest?

How about linking to a site that doesn't close you down, like Soundcloud?

Still after a copy of this. Thought I had one but the guy had sold it at a local flea market about a month ago. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Somebody out there must have a copy for sale. Please . . . . . .

Ha Ha Ha :lol:

I think Ste meant early sixties 'style' R&B, you nitpicker you.

Yeah? I had this gut feeling they were all pre '75. Oh well, never mind.

Of course it's a "fantastic version". He's a Scouser!!!

As a matter of interest, do you know the latest year any of those got released? Not 1974 by any chance?

I think I'm right in saying though, that for that period, solid centres were more common. Would you not agree? So, it could be that the push-out centre types may be more rare? Nitpicking I know, but it's all good fun.

And as this UK Philips scan shows, it was a 1961 release, so just about right for Tony's demo sticker.

Sound file anybody?
