John & the weirdest, date stamp copies ?
Paul Shirley replied to Paul Shirley's topic in All About the SOUL

John & the weirdest, date stamp copies ?
Paul Shirley replied to Paul Shirley's topic in All About the SOUL
Reason I brought this up is that I keep seeing a legend ( not my choice of description) Playing that copy has been for many years along with others. I always thought it was a boot but started to doubt myself , I myself am on my 2nd original seems er? Legends No longer have to play original records -
Just wondering if it’s all the copies that have that date stamp are counterfeit? or were some of them legitimate? Every copy I have ever seen with it on was fake

Jimmy Burns "I Really Love You" Erica
Paul Shirley replied to Soul Shrews's topic in Look At Your Box
Bobby James is every bit as good as Jimmy Burns and hard to tell any difference just rarity, even then Bobby’s isant that far behind if truth be known , I sold it a few years ago ,one I will never get back -
Costs and not enough people to cover the bother in doing it . or more recent ones would have kept going , I have been saying same thing a few years ago, it’s finished it’s run it’s course , I mean your never gonna get them big numbers anymore to a certain extent, apart from ones run by business people who’s venues I wouldn’t go near , I looked in to a big place in Manchester that’s had nighters there off and on for years , the costs were ridiculous couldn’t care less now but if there was one within 25 miles might be tempted for a few late hours .but old age and health plays a big part as well , because those people I would say Were the life blood for many years most are f… now including myself

No longer have Walter Barry . I sold that one just back end of last year to help finance my motor home it now belongs to one of the lads DJing Saturday It was one that took me a life time to snare , i’m sure he will spin it with some other awesome tunes . I would give you the lads name but it’s not my place to mention names all I will say is he ain’t English lol
-
I own it now , have done for a few years ian offered it me at that time but I knew what he paid for it so I left it thinking I’ll get it in a week or two , then George turns up with it ffs I ended up buying it from George for twice the price originally offered , you win some you lose some as the saying goes
-
Hi George only got back home at 3 am finished at 10 past eleven we one or two still dancing by time I had packed all equipment up and drove back to mates house , who I borrowed it from he lives in Lowton time was marching on , so this morning,I counted up we had 89 paying guests, I reckon around nearly hundred people if we include DJs and their guests, £475 on door and £103 in the sealed shake box they opened it there and gave me receipts which I shall post later also took a awful picture we me and dog on

All from same bloke I pestered Andy for at least 5 years , Pete was cleaning them up for Andy ….. not for me to say peoples names so I don’t but I even phoned Pete asking if he could influence the guy who’s name I won’t say Apart from A R

There’s over 13 or 14 copies , take my word for it as I’m not going to go through them all but there is , me and friends counted that many after going through who had copies and who they sold them too , one well known person had 3 copies supposedly,I missed it twice myself once privately another when it was auctioned just too much for me , btw there’s rarer records less copies well known big hitters that are cheaper but in my opinion not nearly as good
-
I told the seller it was and that he shouldn’t be advertising it as original, he disagreed saying it had the stamp and he’s had it donkeys , tried my best but wouldn’t have it , eBay has become a joke of a firm now as the amount of obvious fraudulent adds are overwhelming camper vans cars everything , lots now collect your information when you ask about a vehicle you might be interested in they sell your email on to marketing firms , I pointed this out with many others but their happy to take the fee’s for the adds so couldn’t give a monkeys same advertisements for same underpriced vehicles on there month after month at prices that would be sold in hours

Also me thinks it is also

Paul Shirley commented on BazM's event in Soul Nights
I can think of one or two that was forward thinking in fact a a few others also not that far behind Richard Gary Rushbrook comes to mind for one , -
as above I took the record back from sales list a few days ago as didn’t want to sell , but needs must so here it is again Differences …five minuets , I would grade as excellent but has a two or 3 very light small marks hardly noticeable in vinyl,and water stains label for those that are bothered, the record plays perfect 2k is the price , I’m told that’s a fair price
