    Square clock design images of the Fuller Brothers demo and issue SC105. Also the release before SC104 and the release after SC106. The colours do differ slightly but they are taken from different sources.

    Thanks for those pictures, but Craig W who started the topic has a demo copy with the advance release words down the sides. Your issue copy will have different text layout than the demos.

    As I mentioned earlier, there are two original vinyl demos with the writing credits in different places. The machined stamped copies have the Recorded At Allegro Studios info at the bottom and the other demo design has this info on the right hand A side. I don't know if this second design ( different pressing plant?) is stamped or just has etched in matrix numbers. Can someone confirm this either way ?
  4. Solidsoul
    If it's the demo with Advance Release written down the sides and has the matrix numbers machined stamped in the run out groove, it's a definite original.
  5. Solidsoul
    Are the numbers in the run out grooves scratched in or machine stamped? I think there are three different label design original demos. Two vinyl and one styrene. There is a styrene 1970's reissue as well.

    The first three pictures are of the definite original first issue and has the exact vinyl profile, colour, fidelity and matrix marks as the demo. The question I'm trying to get answered is, are the murky gold label copies, pictured at the bottom, with the low fidelity originals as well? Or are they early counterfeits, as this was a monster record in it's day. Or are they legitimate company reissues?

    Here's a Northern Soul classic from the Fuller Brothers. Played at the Torch and early Wigan allnighters and other early 1970's venues. This is a picture of a square clock true original, that is exactly the same as the demo, only without the promo text. This plays loud and great fidelity. Now below is a picture of a murky gold label copy that is often sold as an original, but it looks very suspect to me. The sound quality is low volume and poor fidelity. Does anyone know if this suspect copy is an early bootleg or maybe a company reissue? I know there are the round clock design labels as well.

    It was a good price for someone and I think vg++ is alright, but he graded Rudy Love as M-
  9. Solidsoul
    It was not in mint- condition, so that could be a factor with the price.

    Andrea Henry was released in 1968.

    Then somewhere in the middle there's people like me who went to most of the great allnighters and lived the life style to suit, but now through personal reasons, have to be content with mostly staying home and concentrate on collecting Northern Soul records.

    Sold. Lee Williams & The Cymbals "Lost Love". B/w Peepin' (Through The Window) (Carnival) Ex condition with d/h in label. Great Northern Soul from Lee Williams & the Cymbals. For some reason always reminds me of Edward Hamilton. That's what I would have covered it up as, if I had discovered it Real quality group soul track on the flip. £75 plus £4 tracked postage. Copy for sale below. Please ignore the Barbara Lewis track.

    As far as I am aware it goes like this:- First is the Despenza release in 1966 with the small block print, Despenza 470. Then the Wand release. Then Despenza with the vertical big print 1968. Then the Despenza with the italic print around 1970.
  15. Solidsoul
    That's good info about the matrix 12266 being the date. But the later Despenza represses with the slightly different label designs also used this matrix.

    Fantastic doublesider of a record, but how did they think it would sell using a name like John and the Weirdest! Did they think, it's so far out, it's in! Maybe they should of stuck with Johnny Hendley as the name

    It's good to know we have you guys with the perfect taste in music to let us know if a record is good or rubbish, because we don't have minds of our own to decide for ourselves!

    This topic is becoming negative, with people feeling the need to share their personal dislikes of various different unconnected records. It's supposed to be about Terri Goodnight on auction at the moment. Anybody got anything positive to say?

    I have had to cut off a few mm along the top of many paper sleeves, so they slide into the cardboard sleeves. I like the paper sleeves that are poly-lined then cut them to fit the card sleeves. I never put records straight into a cardboard sleeve. Pulling the record in and out of the rough cardboard causes fine abrasive scratches after a while.
  22. Solidsoul
    If people like and enjoy those records where's the harm in that! I wouldn't buy it, but I do think the Margaret Little has a great backing track and is good to dance too
  23. Solidsoul
    Originals or pressings/reissues?
  24. Solidsoul
    A great record, and yes another overlooked gem that used to get some plays in the glorious golden days of Northern Soul!
  25. Solidsoul
    Yes I forgot about that, it's a long time since I sold the bootleg of this Northern Soul classic! I have had an original demo with an R in the runout and now have an issue with the R in the runout. As you all probably know, the original demo has that thin flexible RCA type plastic whereas the boot has that thicker typical 70's bootleg stiffer vinyl. Also I think the print on the bootleg demo is very slightly fuzzy compared to the original sharp print.
