Thanks for checking. I'll try to find this longer version on youtube (or somewhere!) cheers

Is that an error on the label that says the time of "Gotta Have Money" is 3.35. The 45's have it as 2.36? Or is it a "longer, extended, 12" mix"!!

Just to add to the set, here's my copy.

There was one in sales today I think. The seller was asking £700. Perhaps see how he gets on an pitch yours accordingly. I'd be interested myself but not at anywhere near that sort of price. No offence to the seller , it just means I'll never own one

Doris Troy - "I'll do anything" had 4 UK outings as far as I'm aware. Cameo Parkway, Mojo, Toast, Pye (disco demand?)

No problem, pleased to help. Nice to have on an issue. I've found with popsike that sometimes it's best to try a few combinations of words and not be too specific.

Not sure how rare but I can see about 10 on popsike. Top price paid £200. Hope that helps https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=bunny+sigler+decca&pagenum=1&incldescr=&sortord=dprice&thumbs=&endfrom=&endthru=&ipp=&currsel=3

That doesn't seem to have the anti-slip ridges around the label. So, I'd assume it's a more recent copy/boot. I bit like those James Fountain UK Cream label copies which apparently came out in the 90's.

The one from the 70's was about 1978 ish. It has Willie Hutch on the other side (Love Runs Out). They were all white one's that looked like Demo's but were not. Never saw a black one. That was another one of the same! Reflections and August & Deneen back to back.

It's not even a nice job with the scissors around the center!!

This Lillie Bryant has done very well!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-LILLIE-BRYANT-MEET-ME-HALFWAY-TAY-STER-6016-/111895933261

I've never heard of it before this thread. I'd be interested to know the background.

There was the copy on ebay that "Fleabees2000" auctioned and finished on 20th Jan 2016 at $120.38. hat was described as "Near Mint", not mint. Regards KB

Reuben James Richards - ASAP Is this it?

Mine is a green one with the Nashville stamp and the sound quality isn't great. I thought it was just my copy, but others have also mentioned it. Also, I've never seen any copies with the spelling "TOO". I'd be interested to see a scan. I've had a look on the John Manship site and he has a blue copy for sale marked "repro" (reproduction) and a green original.

I think that last time on the JM auction 2 years ago it finished at almost £7,500. So, on that basis, if the commission is 20% (it may have been negotiated/discounted down due to the potential sale price) it would need to reach £9,375 ( £9,375 less 20% = £7,500) as a break-even deal. However, the owner has had the use and enjoyment of owning the record, which has got to be worth something.

Here's a thread about the sale in 2013. It has all the standard replies/OMG's etc.

The plot thickens!!! So either multiple copies (likely) or the buyer in the first link is re-selling the one bought in 2014 (less likely as the seller seems to have loads of 'em)

I had an weird experience while checking eBay last night. I saw this listing.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161933107992?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Why was it weird? Well I have the ORIGINAL that the copy label is taken from!! It made me check my copy and it does have the "bell sound" stamp. I bought mine some time last year from a member on here who lives in Scotland. The seller of the eBay copy and similar records seems to live in Yorkshire. Mine was bought by a private sale and as far as I'm aware, no scan was posted. I've no problem with the seller who was an honest and nice guy to deal with and seems to have a great collection, some of which he has been selling. The only problem may be that if I were to try and sell mine, someone might check popsike and see the eBay item and assume they are the same.

Sorry, I got a bit side tracked with the SS list Mick posted!

Mick, I've seen some speculation previously, but do you think the Kenny Smith/Goldspot was an SS Special. It sounds a little less polished than the GAR release which is why I assumed it was a legit "local" release prior to GAR. A local friend and DJ bought a copy of Eddie Daniels for a significant amount from a DJ/Promoter/Dealer in the last 2 years. I wouldn't know if there were reissues of this or how to tell the difference.

Do you mean Eddie Daniels? Mick - Were ALL of the records on the list Bootlegs/Reissues?

Just finished listening. ELECTRIC atmosphere. And the last 10 mins, well ! Unbeatable.
