Demo Cd single of Summer by Masters of Funk goes for a few quid, Japanese only release and quite hard to come by

And if someone could pick up the T-shirts that I bought when they did have an online shopping facility about 15 years ago that they never sent me nor replied to it’d be appreciated

Kudos to Mark & Des for getting this out there

99% of the time all ok but had a couple recently that have been graded m- but look like have been cleaned using a brillo pad

Some nice stuff there

Yep ordered and on the way here as well

Omg you’d better buy a bigger house Here’s a link to a dealer that has sound clips which could help her cut down YouTube time https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/northern-soul-oldies-reissues There are loads of other sites that have similar set ups with sound clips, this just happens to be one can think of off hand

Freda’s version

This and Brian Holland I’m So Glad are two of my absolute favourite records

Was just thinking that something a bit stronger than wow

In total agreement it shouldn’t be put out saying how many then when they’re gone they’re gone or repressed as the case may be

Oh hang on, in the meantime have received this. When I sent message via Bandcamp I thought I was going direct

Also if no mention of it being limited the same people would have probably bought anyway.

I’m sorry that there’s a difference of opinion but if anything is marketed as limited edition it should be that or the reputation of a company means nothing and trust is lost. A lot of people would have bought this thinking it was limited and so bought from Japan, Germany, the States etc. & in doing so incurred extra costs. Would they have done that if they knew that actually would come back into stock in the UK? Also some may have incurred customs charges on top. So an £11 record could now have cost them £25/£30. Also what about the ones who have paid £40/£50 from eBay, discogs etc. Would they have paid that in the knowledge it would come back in to stock for £11? Yes it’s not something that someone is trying to get £000s per copy but the same principles apply otherwise it’s just false marketing, just the same but at a lower profit point. This is a scene built on exclusivity and elusiveness so yes to me it should be Ronseal.

On the plus side at least they are at normal price and not charging up for them

Nope the repress is on AOTN, silver ink on same blue, same picture sleeve, same run out, same release number, in fact same everything - nothing any different and the blurb deffo is talking about this release and 400 copies only. There's just too many from too many sources not to be repressed, the only other explanation would have been dripped out 200/300 and kept the other back to be dripped out but as I say too many from too many.

Well the blurb certainly says 400 copies

I asked on the contact us link on Bandcamp and Chris from Kudos Records replied which I’ve attached below - my question was simply has it been repressed

Had it confirmed it has been repressed

I’ve asked
