That's a very good question. Already by 1969 UK record companies were being forced to re-issue soul records. Think of The Spellbinders on Direction, Doris Troy on Toast, those later TMG releases, Fascinations, Gene Chandler and all those President releases, there's a big list. You can trace the beginnings of the UK (Northern) scene emerging at about that time.

I think there even 2 UK release an early Black Mercury and a later "super styrene" silver one (yuk) but that dark blue US one is a legitimate re-issue.

Done !

This is my Ronnie Walker, a 1970s legitimate re-release and my Canadian Madeline Bell, original release. Quite similar

An original please, anything VG+ or better, sensible, customer friendly price

Tracking for sure when I get stuff from the US that's sent by USPS st International I can even track it on our Belgian post system.

I'm seeing 1970s re-issues going for £70.00+ and originals for as little as £45.00 - I would have thought that this was a £100.00 tune nowadays ?

Yes official 1970s re-release, Canadian releases look similar.

Read this : "INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS READ CAREFULLY: International shipping is via the new Ebay Global Shipping Program. This is a good deal, as the cost is a few dollars more than First Class mail, but tracking and insurance is included. Input your country into the "shipping detail" section for rates. Ebay will provide an invoice at end of auction. If your country is not included in this program, 1st Class mail is $20 (each additional $4), but I will require buyer to pay with an alternative to Paypal. Otherwise, if you pay with Paypal, it must ship Priority Mail insured at cost of around $40 (each additional $3). Please bid ONLY if this is agreed/understood." Famous last words, the item he sold went for about 60% of the current UK buying price.

Heard it played at Bury Town Hall about 9 years ago, along with Edwin Starr - Weakness is you and Marv Johnson - I miss you.

There some pretty amazing pictures on this BBC article. http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20160515-the-places-the-world-forgot

Saw him perform for the 1st time in 25+ years in Los Angeles back in 2004, what a singer.

Be very surprised if it was a boot, "Champion" got released quite early on UK London.

Not much then eh ?

Younghearts - Little togetherness Patti & Emblems - Love you a long, long time. Thanks

What are these going for nowadays ?

My son's Cocker Spaniel during camouflage lessons.

PM'd you

VG+ at least ref better, sensible prices please it's for a young bloke just starting out (not me, I'm an old fart just conking out!)

I do hope that somehow we get the whole story about this, have to assume it was a spoof bid.

No you can't leave negative feedback for a buyer, you used to be able to do it but it changed some years ago. Best put a non-payment claim in, block buyer from bidding on your stuff and request Ebay selling fees back, you will of course lose your initial listing fee. Bummer I know...................

Meethinks a Spoofmeister be a workin'......................

You really have to question the sanity of some people although having said that most buyers don't read the full auction page text so could well be that someone thinks he's/she's getting an original.

A few years ago you could contact a buyer but that's not possible nowadays, I did in the past do that when someone sold a blatant boot described as an original.

Buying a bootleg then selling it on as a "maybe" knowing full well it's not an original is about as low as it gets. Any chance we can name and shame ?
