    As a Discogs seller myself I think it's very important that we find out the outcome of this. Feedback is a very big part of Discogs and gives the buyer confidence. Although sensible precautions around payment method should also be adhered to as in any other internet transaction. We need to know whether a seller with a good reputation has had his Discogs identity hijacked or whether a hitherto trustworthy seller has committed fraud, and what measures are being taken to prevent it re-occuring. I also imagine that Discogs will be very concerned if this becomes public knowledge.

    On the subject of cover-ups and with so much information and knowledge available these days, are there any current "cover-ups" that haven't been identified ?

    "I think he already had a bad reputation among the local dealers, many of whom wouldn't deal with him but he always got on well with musicians and music people." Why would that be Ian? You'd think he'd be popular with the US dealers as a customer buying up all the records that no-one else wanted! Or maybe he was the sort of buyer that no amount of spend would make up for his personality.

    Actually has 2 b sides the one to get has "doing fine" as b side. From memory it's a total rip off of Cloud 9 and the original writers aren't credited.

    Seems obvious I know but you should check feedback before ordering! I spend a lot of time on feedback which I hope would differentiate me from someone like your seller. If the seller has poor feedback from several different buyers then give him a wide berth.

    Quick Question (from prospective purchaser) As I've got just about every book/ video about the northern Soul Scene, how much original material is in the book, DVDs? I ask because I've noticed somewherethat some (all?) of the book is transposed from a previous book. Also, how many of the tracks are new to CD? Apologies if this info is already out there!

    Good to hear. so you can tell them apart just by sight, feel etc based on experience? Gonna be difficult for new collectors though, who don't have your expertise.

    Am I missing something here ? Are we saying that they look exactly the same as an original and therefore the only way to tell if it is an original is to examine the matrix markings etc in the run off ? If so it's time for an updated guide with original matrix markings.

    You wouldn't be "cashing in" but "satisfying demand! "

    "We regret to inform you that we no longer have stock to fulfill your order and won’t be receiving any additional inventory for this title. We have issued a full refund into your method of payment, which will reach your account within the next few days. We understand this is frustrating, therefore as a way of apology, we have included a 10% discount code which can be used on all available products on the Demon Music Store. " Just had this reply so as I paid on 15/01 I guess that if you ordered after that you won't get one!

    Thought you may have been consulted on it, when it was licensed, but obviously not. Maybe promote the Soul of Money CD instead ?
  15. phatspinner
    Yes Pete thanks, but who knows what's in the reissue run offs as opposed to the originals ? The info is only in the bootleg guide if it's been bootlegged ! Maybe the next Price Guide will need to have orginal matrix information included to help differentiate if you can't tell labels apart. And do you think that every one is really an old reissue underneath ?
  16. phatspinner
    My concern about these are how they are going to be differentiated from the originals when they come to be re-sold? Is the vinyl clearly new in origin ?

    Just seen this thread, went to order and Philly 40th Set now showing "Sold Out"

    "He said the collector who won the auction comes from the UK but was not one of the site’s regular users." I'm speculating that “dalerivers” is a London label collector rather than a Northern Soul collector !

    A short hop to Bobby Paris ! thanks
  21. phatspinner
    There's some biographical info here. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/bobby-paris-mn0001573884 This is not up to date either. Anyone know his real name? I'm assuming that Paris is a stage name given his family background. Great that he got recognition belatedly (thanks to IL) but saddens me when I think of others that died without knowing. Did we ever solve the riddle of Joy Lovejoy ?

    A great piece of writing. Much appreciated. Andy

    I thought I'd let everyone know that Vinyl Demand is still trading and has moved from Roockingham Street to 7 Charter Square which is next to the old Grosvenor Hotel for anyone familiar with Sheffield. It's only 1 minute's walk away from the old shop. The larger premises will enable me to display far more Soul Stock, particularly Albums and 12" singles. All soul fans welcome. of course. Plenty of car parking nearby including a nice lay-by outside for quick visits! Andy

    Thanks for that. Not absolutely conclusive but we think it's JJ Barnes rather than Marvin and that it's not available on any CD not even the Cellarful of Motown series ?? Andy.
  25. phatspinner
    My apologies if this is an old question but I have been asked a question that I feel I should know the answer to but can't recall it. Martha Reeves Show me the Way. Did Marvin Gaye do a version of this ? I have a version by JJ Barnes with the same backing track called Aint it the truth. The CD copy I have been given sounds like Marvin and of course many of the Motown songs were covered by many of their artists. Is it simply an album track that I've missed or is it an unissued track found in the vaults? I know someone here will know the answer. Andy
