Real one and boot

This one has always interested me (looks like the cat number is a D.O.B.)

Ah ha, Thanks problem solved

Same Eddie that did this ?

You are spot on, however as the scene is trying to tempt the younger audience, I can see visions of kids looking through boxes of records at gigs or searching on the net, when we are all in nursing homes or gone to the "Soul Club in the sky", looking for great tunes they really want and not having a clue what they are buying (reminds me of when I was a teenager and no internet then) It surely is our job to protect them as much as we can by helping with identifying bootlegs and at least then if they fall into the trap, or made an error, they have the whole story and can only point the finger back at themselves (or am I soapboxing too much and sounding like David Attenborough and Climate Change (just to be topical)

And would this be legal ? apparently these were made by A Rob Bailey to "give away" at Mod nights in London....is that allowed?

The Zebra relation may be connected here. Not sure which came first but address copy seems more likely or though both are legit

What is really concerning here is the stacking of the records and boxes 2 things A My wife would go mad if I stored stuff like that B There may be a possibility that the vinyl may warp making them unplayable

So is the 2012 "re-issue" deffo a bootleg then ?

Just wondering if the store is still running https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/28/nyregion/28towns.html

Initially issuing records in the UK on the London American, Fontana, Oriole and Stateside labels, Tamla Motown was established in 1965 thanks to lobbying from the Tamla-Motown Appreciation Society head, Dave Godin (who’d later coin the term Northern soul). The label began releasing music from imprints including Tamla, Motown, Gordy, Soul and V.I.P. Its popularity was helped by the legendary ‘Motown Revue’ tour that year, which brought The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha & The Vandellas and Smokey Robinson & The Miracles to UK shores.

I have done some more research and Discogs have the black label as released in 2012 (as a re-issue) maybe the original black label is missing from their database

I think the real one is a bronze colour but perhaps someone else can confirm please

Is this the Dusty

Can we have a link please

It would be great to get some pics of the bootlegs up on here (other than the 2 shown on the report) and the brown boxes full of them

I think the reporter on the BBC has made a slight error......amusing Doesn't seem to know what a single is https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46393631

I seem to remember that they were one of these studio creations made up by Producer and Songwriter Paul Leka He was also responsible for the Leaders on Blue Rock

A modern one

This amazing tune covered up by Soul Sam as Lou White And The Winners has an interesting history The Man behind all this was a New Jersey "Charismatic" born again Christian called Vincent Lapi He invest $30000 dollars into releasing this record himself Vincent's surname in Sicilian means "Bee" and he wrote and produced the record and sung lead vocals with some unknown backing vocalists The A side was NOT about the love of a partner but about the love of God and sadly the LP never got released

BJ released a CD in 2009 I have emailed BJ to see if we can get all the info on her and the group

BJ Douglas captured hearts at a tender age of seven, and led her family to victory during a Lloyd Price Talent Show at the famed Royal Theatre on Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. While in her early teens, her Dream Girl experience began when BJ, Norma, Barbara and Heysette formed a singing group called Les Chansonettes to participate in their high school talent show. After winning prizes in this and many other talent competitions, Norma, BJ, Heysette, and Angela recorded a national hit entitled Don't Let Him Hurt You and Deeper with Shrine Recording Company in Washington, DC. She later recorded I Almost Left You with Fran and Marilyn from Washington, D.C.

That's amazing, great work, nice to find out a little more about her

The BMI says Virginia Grady is Virginia Jewel Grady 20th March 1967 Common sense says this was his real name, do we know anything about this artist ?
