    How about this ? https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34747508

    The way things are going I'd say Ebay, if they will allow you to list that many items I'd do it. What you will find is that the more rarer, in demand items will pull the lesser desirable along with them. In any case good luck, you should try here too.

    They played it on a repro Harthon label at a venue I was at last night.

    6 days to go and already £125.00 how rare is this repro ?

    Canadian

    Probably somewhere between £25 - 30.00, foreign (non US or UK) are not top of a lot collectors list. Always like the Canadian Epic Major Lance - You don't want me no more, rare as heck goes for about 1/2 the US Okeh one.

    Decent condition, anything maybe better than VG (so VG+ onwards) many thanks.

    There is a thread on this somewhere. By all accounts seller knew it was a boot.

    Exactly, you'd better off buying an original on Revilot.

    Nice looking label, there's even a telephone number you can call

    Yes he was a very weird man, I heard him talking to the people who run McCoys estate, I think he's been sniffing too much, too long. Chris Bartley on the other hand was a real gent, polite, gentle and just great to spend time with.

    Following on there's an album well worth searching out. It's called Van McCoy & friends - Dancin'. On it are some previously unreleased tunes, with Chris Bartley (although uncredited) singing a few. Best track (for me) is "Help is on the way".

    Was looking through Kev Roberts Top 500 this morning, dated 2003, he priced Jack Montgomery at £150.00, you can still find a decent copy at this price(ish) today.

    Chris Jackson was/is the name used by UK Soul City records to avoid any legal conflict, real name Marke Jackson. Chris Bartley is a completely different person, Both Marke & Chris worked with Van McCoy, Bartley staying quite a few years with McCoy on different labels.

    Today's trivia, the group actually record a 3rd single, never released but does have a catalogue number.

    Totally nuts but well done John. Most those have gone for is about £75.00 mint with sleeve, £210.00 is 'Coming to your rescue' money.

    They were playing Northern Soul before the Torch opened, we went in Jan 1972 to Mecca they played it then.

    I wish it was a clearer shot, taken this morning whilst out on my bike.

    There were a whole gaggle of very original looking bootlegs in the 1970s, Selecta Disc used to sell them. Johnny Sayles, Younghearts, Hesitations, Barbara Mills, Duke Browner plus whole lot more. Tough te tell from originals but there was always some giveaway like the St Lawrence without the address, Younghearts with wrong matrix number, Barbara Mills wrong size of font. Monarch did a load (styrene) plus another pressing plant did the vinyl ones. They're on kind of on a renaissance now as it's difficult to visually see difference between them and the originals and new pop-DJs buy them with abandonment.

    This is the boot, you can't see it on this pic but they're dished in the centre yours look original.

    I agree with much that been said above. We're probably at a crossroads now, already sales volumes are down with some lesser known records not fetching much whilst others are reaching the stratosphere. I suspect that within about 5 years or so we'll see far fewer old soulies on the scene and those that are about won't be buying much. A pal of mine who runs a record store in the US says that sales of Do Wop has dimished with mostly dealers buying from him.
