I bought the Trojan 'Haunted House' Skinhead Sevens box set for £25 and I've since seen it go for 4 times that much!
Reckon a good set of this Motown box will fetch a nice price in the future.
Just received a message from Laurence at Soul Brother, he's aware of the problems and asked if I mind whether they open it to check, I said that is fine. I just want a correct set.
There's some crap on 'Dearborn'...
I remember buying a Dearborn 45 'cos it had a company sleeve but the music was C/W
So I guess it's not solely a Soul label.
I've got some top notch Reggae/Ska L.Ps and also some top notch Soul L.Ps....love them both!
Pama, Trojan, Studio One, Coxsone, Pyramid, Blue Beat
V
Kapp, RCA Victor, Motown, Imperial, Minit, Atlantic, Stax
The matrix on mine is as Sebastian has described.
I got mine straight from the States with a few other originals donkeys years ago.
As I said, I have had the darker green, crumbly label boot and compared it with mine, very different.
Kegsy, yours is the same as mine then. Here's mine, definite original.
I've had the boot also and compared them side by side, loads of differences.
My original copy...
Not 100% mate but if you look at all the images of the boots on this thread and look at the original copy you can see the differnce in the position. The original scan I posted is not my copy but I just pulled mine out of my box and it sits in the same position, dead center over the hole. Mine also has the prominent 'ring'.
Another tell tale sign is that the 'window' box art on the label, on the boot it is slightly to the right of the center hole. On the original it sits perfectly in the middle.
