Well, here it comes again ... https://cgi.ebay.com/...em=390124617330 £52.00 with plenty of time to go. Another £100 maybe ??

Peter Hamilton Generation - Hey Girl - Jamie Cheers Mick Holdsworth

I fact all tracks use original Brunswick backing tracks (and in some cases backing singers) - I love the album - her versions of the Chi-lites "Have You Seen Him" and "Oh Boy" are two of my faves. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Some of their stuff seems to be sound files taken from the net or just knicked from DJ sets or Radio shows. I say this because firstly, the CD's seem to have occasional tracks that are to "new" for legal CD's (eg Lil' Major Williams appeared on one CD way before it was readily available - that's assuming that is even on a Legal CD yet?). Secondly, I heard one at a party a couple of years ago, and whilst the sound quality of most tracks were OK (just simple CD rips or reasonable mastering from records), one or two tracks noticably dropped in quality - as if they had been though a few file conversions to get a cda track. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Internationals - Just sold one for £100 (about 6 months ago) - Don't know if that's the going price these days but it seemed about right at the time. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Ah - yes, see what you mean - the "Item specifics" aren't there on US .com are they Mick

Bit confused here - tried it a couple of hours ago and it works fine - that's .... Home > Buy > Music > Records > 7" Singles > R&B Soul Just tried again - still OK Cheers Mick Holdsworth

First I ever heard of the Greek copies of Frank or Dee Dee were when Ian Clarke had a quantity of them in the very early eighties - I think he knocked them out for either £4.00 or £6.00 each (I know I spent £12.00 but I might have had 3 records for that - can't be that exact) I know it was at the time when a Sassy copy would fetch about £3 or £4, so it seemed like a good investment at the time, but when copies seemed to be everywhere (presumably from Ian - enough copies to satisfy anyone who wanted on at the time), I ended up selling them soon after - Dee Dee turns up regularly, but Frank seemed to be a little more elusive. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Yeah Pete, neither did I until recently - first one was the copy I saw recently which sparked my interest, and since this Wants post, I've located one more, albeit in rough condition, so I probably won't be having it. Mick

Well, the basic answer is President would have the rights to U.K. release in 1966. A discography for UK President can be found here ... https://www.45cat.com/label/president The Johnny Wyatt listing is for October 1966 - although a reissue scan is used in the discography (same as 108 - Viola Wills above it) Most "Original" Johnny Wyatts for sale are reissues - here's a real one ... Hope that helps Cheers Mick holdsworth

Hello, I've reserved a couple - PM'd you thanks Mick

Anybody on this one ?? Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Hello- Being a Len Barry nut, I would be interested in this - can you be more specific - is it an EP with more tracks, vinyl or acetate - can you scan the labels? Cheers Mick

Although when you think about it "Your Number 1" as per the original, is wrong, and the 70's repress saying "You're Number 1" is a correction. Cheers Mick

Hello I'm after a copy of Marlena Shaw / Let's Wade In The Water - Not US original, but the reissue on UK Chess from the about '71 / '72. Thanks Mick Holdsworth

I noticed that too - some one was actually listing a 1p Freepost record and stating postage on top in the description - now that could backfire on him. Another thing I've seen is "freight" instead of "Free Post" as the method - (again seller has just stated post on top in description). I think this will have a few loopholes / glitches for a while, but eBay will probably tighten it up and throttle us soon enough. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Warning - Stardust copy has nearly all the intro "chopped off" - ruins the atmosphere of the song Cheers Mick

Dave, I was refering to the previous post about recording artists TODAY reusing their own backings Cheers Mick

Can't think of any artist reusing a backing from one of their own songs, but an artist using some other backing is quite common practice - maybe not in it's original form - just sampled loops etc. Cheers Mick

Also, neither group were the Whispers. - Don't know about Promatics though - who were they? Cheers Mick

I have one on my site - Italian UA in a Pic Sleeve - £30.00 Here's the info for it ... https://northern-soul-records.com/recordsoriginals.shtm#619 Cheers Mick Holdsworth

The green or white boots do sometimes go for lots of money even when advertised as boots ... I myself sell them on and off for that kind of money. My gripe is the boots being advertised as original, when they are clearly no such thing ... Mick

Don't know about you but I'm fed up of seeing the bootleg white demos of Epitome Of Sound being sold off as originals. There's yet another one on eBay right now - This are the heavy duty pitted labels like Dave Newman / Idle Few etc. https://cgi.ebay.com/...em=390093481926 Suppose this'll go for 3 figures and buyer will be non the wiser - wait another 3 weeks and up it'll come again. Mick Holdsworth

Just a thought Pete, but maybe they're stains from washing up liquid or sommat? Cheers Mick
