bit strange this, i had 2 albums arrive on saturday, 1 posted 9 jan from detroit and the other posted 11 jan from misouri, the same as yours, no evidence of customs opening them.....where have they been ?????
nice one paul, i didnt bother bidding on it, thought it would go for around a ton, considering the u.s. copies were selling for around £50 / 60 at the time, ya got yourself a nice little bargain there methinks
he scanned the label........stuck it onto a copy of joe dolcie - shadup a your face.......then snapped it in half & sent you the picture......still think youve been gazumped

HE SURE DID HARRY, TIM ASHEBENDE HAD A FEW OF THESE TEST PRESSINGS IN THE MID 90'S, HE WAS SELLING BLACK STOCK COPIES FOR AROUND £50 & TEST PRESSINGS WERE £150, THINK THE ONE MR MANSHIP AUCTIONED WAS AUTOGRAPHED
YES WAY........I SAY THIS BECAUSE JOHN MANSHIP HAD IT ON HIS AUCTION LAST YEAR, SO, PYE WERE OBVIOUSLY INTERESTED IN IT, ALSO A DARRYL STEWART PYE ACETATE, WHICH WAS ALSO ON J.M'S AUCTION....
well...tell him on the 9th june, that, £3.50 postage is taking the piss, unless......he's hand delivering it in a gold plated stretch limo with a cavalcade of armed guards
in fact...for £3.50 i'd want a massage thrown in as well
IT COULD BE A PROPER ACETATE....TAMLA MOTOWN WAS AFTER ALL PART OF THE E.M.I. GROUP, ALONG WITH COLUMBIA, PARLOPHONE ETC....BEATLES ACETATES WERE ON EMIDISC (E.M.I. DISC) SO IT COULD BE THE REAL DEAL
GOT A COPY OF AL KENT FROM THE STATES WITH A LUMP OF BUBBLE GUM STUCK ON THE B SIDE.....ALSO BOUGHT A RECORD OFF A WELL KNOWN U.K. DEALER A FEW YEARS AGO......WHEN I OPENED IT A WRAP OF WHIZ FELL OUT OF THE COVER !!!!!
determinations is considerably rarer, dont know which came first, however, i have always wondered if this is the same emile griffith who was world middleweight champion during the sixties ???? can anyone confirm
theres loads of them ken, royal 5, empires, gene woodbury, frank beverley (gamble), spoke to john manship about these about a year ago & he said he'd been trying to find out where they were pressed, but he'd had no joy
