at least one soul source member recently did a bunch of ebay auctions with all stolen scans not noting they weren't of his record

I agree with what george is saying. The people buying the sex pistols are the same people paying money for a beatles butcher cover, it's something that has some sort of legendary rarity that generic "vinyl collectors" (as opposed to specific genre collectors) buy. There are definitely enough of those people with money. Many soul rarities that are even slightly rare are much rarer than the sex pistols and butcher cover I also agree that rare, good records in soul and other genres will increase in price and that certain "classic" northern records don't sound that good to the new generation of soul collectors that didn't grow up on the scene. Those records will not rise in price and might drop.

Also, "love your pain runs deep" is the same track that frankie beverly and the butlers do on gamble. but each version credits the performing group so it's not clear who stole from whom.

here is one side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqiwtSMNDqI I don't know the other side but it might be a cover of the los bravos record?

someone else once posted a copy of the young divines on note held together with a razor blade (but not a disposable razor replacement like above!).

I always appreciate anyone taking the time to document some piece of the music, thanks for your work on this.

There definitely are rare records by Fletcher btw.

is this really an original press of this record?

i actually got that copy, it actually was just dirty and after i cleaned it played with virtually no noise. but it has what looks like heat damage, like some lack of gloss and pitting in the vinyl. the copy i just got has some wear in addition to the same pitting but still plays well. I started the thread because i got two records from totally different sources with the same damage. it's similar to when copies of a record all seem to be water damaged when they originate from the same source where a basement flooded or somethiing.

I didn't get them both together. I just know there's some cases where the entire run or some of the run was heat damaged -- that's the case with the ultimate blacks on hitstown, nobody has ever seen a non-hazy, clean playing copy.

isn't supernatural a show that mainly girls in high school watch?

you should note that that's the excellent later modern / uptempo version of the pretenders "I call it love" on carnival 560, should sell at that price.

yes, I think the label is DV. Very obscure record.

I have a record by a "real" wendy andrews, pretty nice unknown midtempo cut with male group backing called "my man is gone"

thanks a lot, I appreciate it. clearly not all copies are heat damaged. But now I would like to know if anyone else has one and it's pitted or not, would tell me whether the two I have is just a coincidence or not.

thanks let me know

thanks, one of the copies i have is pretty clean and plays great but has visible pitting in the wax. does your copy not have this? another weird thing about this record is that the grooves start very close to the edge of the 45.

ok, i know that this might be pointless to ask this since there aren't that many known copies of this record... today i picked up a double of this. both my copy and this copy (which play fine) have some sort of heat damage, there is some sort of pitting in the vinyl. can anyone here that has a copy tell me whether there appears to be some sort of pitting / heat damage in the vinyl? I'm wondering if this has something to do with the rarity of the record? thanks in advance.
