Smashing bloke met him at the last Soul Trip USA 6 years ago.

I spent some time with Arthur Wright, he was the arranger for a lot of the Los Angeles Okeh stuff (Williams & Watson, Triumphs, etc.) some of those had scratched matrixes, all the Chigago had stamped ones. I'll check what I've got and see if I can post a scan. My Filipino Okeh demo has a scratched one

Not so, some those Los Angeles releases have scratched matrixes.

Chalky There are Los Angeles releases a lot of these had scratched matrixes, I bought some stuff of Arthur Wright about half were scratched.

I bought an item last week (not records) and got sent product that wasn't 100% what I ordered, when I contacted seller his/her reply was "You got more than you ordered you should be happy" I pointed out that half of it was useless to me I don't think there's enough space on this page to relate to my buying activities on Ebay, maybe we should write a book about it.

Many thanks for advice and info Mick, already got a refund

Thanks, will try it have same again going on right now.

Ernie, I live in Belgium.

I would have thought + - £40.00 for issue and £50 - 60 for demo, maybe more, you don't see them often for sale. You might get more by advertising in Belgian Popcorn circles, it's pretty big over here. I know JM got £160 for his but I've never seen it sell for that high anywhere else.

Aren't the black ones earlier issues ?

See two bidders retracted their bids down to £650.00 now !!

No not bootlegged not a real biggie or worth doing I would have thought. Black issue, white demo.

Good luck, years and years ago you could pick one up for about £25 - 30 whilst the US ABC ones were going for more than £50.00, don't know why it changed.

They do go for silly money right now, at least £100.00, you'd be better off getting the US ABC release.

That's true, the whole gaggle that used to be stocked at that Leighton Buzzard record shop (can't remember the name) in the 1970s (Hesitations, Younghearts, Rose Batiste, Barbara Mills, etc) sell now for near original money. In a dark room it's tough to tell them from originals and the Johnny-come-lately/Bedroom DJs do buy them.

I sell quite a bit on Ebay, you'd be surprised how many buyers come back and say "Oh! I didn't see/read that". I am sure they just see the photo-scan, price and bid accordingly.
