Nice link here, no mention of the group though, shame http://www.ripopmusic.org/musical-artists/producers/mike-lewis-stuart-weiner/

I have said I am often wrong but this thread needs continuation for a result and it might have been a different lead on vocals 😁 Of course the writers and producers are all New York based https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ny/204210 There are two different issues as well which is interesting perhaps East / West coast

The writers and producers were also the same with Vicki Baines, Philly connection and all that, so my tiny mind wondered if they had had their name shortened, if you know what I mean 🧐 Remove the Show and you have Stoppers ?

It is a brilliant post and I am not at all surprised it sold so rapidly. I always love labels that press names incorrectly Mr Weems would be well happy The production credit is interesting Pedrinho as opposed to James Shelton (Chicago). may it be a mistake or a remix perhaps ?

When Willie was interviewed there appeared to be no mention of the group members, do we know why ?

I love the fact that they use software to spot bootlegs so sellers use the other words to get round it Ebay have therefore caused a problem trying to solve one Before the lockdown I popped in to a record fair in a local pub and there was a box titled re-issues and they were ALL boots. I casually mentioned it to the dealer and he swore at me and I was only trying to help him 😁

The major problem is that sellers and dealers twist to suit and state reissue (which of course is true in these cases) but have selective forgetfulness when it comes to mentioning bootlegs / repros / counterfeits (do you see what I did there using 3 different words for the same thing (it's confusing enough without using different names or is that meant to confuse ?)

Wow, I have just had an email from a mate who also sent the seller a message complaining and within 2 hours got "his" Ebay account "Terminated" He threatened them with Trading Standards and they have reinstated him overnight Shocking

How did I miss this brilliant as usual work, you are becoming my secret detective crush.

I have an answer and am winding as we speak "Hahaha Wind your neck in. The labels and run out etchings were clearly photographed and included in the listing so experts like you could jog on by. Bidding started at £1.99 as it was bought in a job lot 30 years ago. Regardless, the high bidders have already been notified the auction is being pulled when I finish work this evening. I hope this meets with your approval."

I hope lots have messaged the seller (I have) it may be innocent mistake ..... we will see

My memory is not what it used to be, but this story I am sure is pretty accurate John or someone told me a million years ago that on one of Manships USA trips he went to a market and found a stack of 45's in a barrow. When he had sorted the ones he wanted the guy/ guys selling them, took the plastic somewhere and came back with what John thought was a really expensive price. He questioned the reason and they produced Manship's guide as the source of their pricing structure. "Actions always have consequences" I believe 😁 Check out the Magnetics on evilbay item 65213809022 Starting bid $9,975.00 I can't believe at that price it did not sell and has been re-listed (joking)

Blimey buddy what a staggering coincidence that is 😀

I wonder (it's only a "might be") if Eric might know more having his fathers paperwork ? e-Mail: sales@secretstashrecords.com 612.466.2224

Wow I never new that as everyone was moaning in the UK about it, perhaps they were cheaper items. I genuinely thought the £135 thing was EU since UK Brexited. Thanks and very informative (I never buy of Evilbay). So I assume the same applies with Discogs if a UK buys an item more than £135, as I thought VAT was (again) auto added at point of sale, no matter the price.

Might there be Import duties as well when it arrives In the UK or is the VAT on the hammer price all that has to be paid An Antique has to be over 100 years old for the tax people

Ebay sellers are getting big hits with non paying buyers now 20% VAT is being added after hammer price and me thinks they will ignore us more and more

How much are the hands buddy as 50p is a lot to spend and I was hoping to get enough for it so I could invest in Manships guide to support him in his old age retirement fund (his books are well expensive, but clearly useful TBF)

The fact that you said It's not an original means it "could" be a repress / reissue / counterfeit / bootleg or repro, all of which are copies (legal or not) has to be somewhat vague surely There are enough on line sellers using the term reissue and missing out the word bootleg conning the £££'s out of people, so please forgive me for trying to be accurate. I have just spoken to someone who has Manships 5th Edition guide and he has confirmed that it is a bootleg / repro which is the proof (and documented) I needed. Thanks anyway for your help and at least no one else will get ripped off again (let's hope 😀) It appears I wasted 50p

Thanks but that sentence "sold as bootlegs, reissues or whatever!" really does not help me, it's a bit vague

I have had this copy of the Uptite with the "tailed" U for about a thousand years Etched JC on the dead wax as mentioned above (it may be the same one as mentioned earlier in the thread but image has gone) but not listed as a boot on Discogs just a re-issue ? (Lee Jeffries and a couple of others have copies for sale) and they have been sold on Evilbay before Before I start thinking about selling this and inadvertently ripping some unsuspecting buyer off I would really like to know please ? (oh and not just "it is a boot" but how someone knows it is)
