Hi

what is the correct info on this please??

I just asked the seller on ebay about his copy ....he reckons the jury is out on wether this record was ever legitimatley pressed ,insinuating it is not officially recognised ?

Surely this is not so

Hi Nev

There were 3 bootlegs all copies of the original promo (no one has ever seen an issue although it was listed on the release sheets at the time)

2 in vinyl - one has the initials PB in the run out and the other has a ridge close to the centre edge (same as the one up for sale)

The third bootleg is styrene

I'm pretty sure this info is right but I may be shot down in flames

Is this "I can see him"? If so Im sure Manships sold one at auction for £900! last year. Press is around £20/£30.

nev,was deffo issued on vinyl my mate has one mono/stereo both sides it has very thin vinyl around the edge the thickish edged styrene mid 70s copys were boots,

nev,heres a proper one which looks like my mates as i said its thin vinyl and also a 70s boot,great record imo,i know there was a thread on here about the anderson brothers ages ago so did we ever discover who the anderson brothers were???

same anderson brothers,???

I believe the tell tail sign is that the original has a longer run out groove than the press.

Never seem an issue and dont know anyone who has.

Chris

ps. Found mine in Washington DC 6 years ago for 25 cents!

The 'proper' one also looks like the first vinyl bootleg with the deep depression towards the centre hole. These were passed off as originals in the mid 70's complete with GSF company sleeves.

same anderson brothers,???

Yep, the very same.

a lucky find mr chris anderson,

...............

Its like the lottery mate, if you dont buy a ticket you aint gonna win it! I didnt have a load of people offering to pay for my plane ticket, food, hotel bills if i found nothing on that 3 month buying trip!

But yeah it was lucky! Happened 3 days after finding 3 Paul Thompsons for a dollar each....

Still got it, wonderful tune, Helens fave...

Chris

ps. and its Anderton not Anderson...!

Chris .....i think the four emoticons after de-tos sentence are a give away

However ,thanks for all the info ,let's hope some poor beggar does'nt end up paying over the odds for a boot

Yeah i know mate....

Its a rare record, even when i found the copy in DC i thought it was a boot, until i took the time to research it and it met every criteria...

i`d be interested to know how many real copies there are out there...guess all of the main 70s guys have a copy...maybe 50 or 100?

There weren't that many in the 70s (no way 50-100) that's for sure.

No idea how many have turned up since, but with JM getting £900 for one it must be still quite rare.

Or is someone gonna tell me loads have been found now.

No, it's still as rare as ever Dave You're right it was not around even back in the day!

I think a poll on here would verify that?

I remember in the 70's a mate of mine sold it on his list for £4 (which was quite a lot then and it was way before it was booted), then he found out that Richard Searling had just paid £90 for it......................oh how we laughed

I don't care whether the Anderson Bros are white, black, brown, yellow or even related to Z Z Top, my copies coming in the box with me

One of the key 'turning point' records of the Northern scene imho!

Cheers

I spoke to John Manship earlier in the week about this record, funnily enough, having just got my sweaty hands on a copy and the proviso he added to the boot descriptions in his guide was that the boots did not have a stereo side. So a careful listen should point anyone in the right direction.

I'm pretty sure this info is right but I may be shot down in flames

The vinyl boot copies with the ridge were sold as originals I seem to remember and came via Soussan ? Advert in the back of Black echoes ? Was offered along with another looky likey boot but my memory eludes me .. Very good boots though.. been fooling people for a long time.

I'd go for the Israeli LP - thats not a boot

So you got it then John.........let's have the details already...

Yes a lovely record even if the vocals are a bit weak. As the Plumbmeister says one of those turning point records, and a great dancer too.

Ray Dahrouge wrote it and later covered it on Polydor, and he's on here as well......Steve

Whilst we're discussing alternative versions, as much as I love the Anderson Brothers original, the unissued Mayberry Movement's version takes it to another level....another Kent find...

Very very nice find, like Gavin said (+100s others ) would love a copy.

Yeah I LOVE that version - agree, what a find!!!!!!

Then there was that Trieste version on IX Chains, there's probably more?

Steve, it doesn't sound any different to the 45 recording to my ears, I haven't thought to check if it's in stereo, but the album cover and labels do say 'Stereo'

So it's a fair bet that it actually is!

When I get a chance, I'll have another listen... and I'll time it for you if you want

Quite like the Trieste, got a kind of Creative Source feel to it. If you see what i mean

Here's a scan of my copy, has Stereo / mono sides. It has Mick Viggars scratched in , with GSFM 1179 and PB in the grooves.

The vinyl boot copies with the ridge were sold as originals I seem to remember and came via Soussan ? Advert in the back of Black echoes ? Was offered along with another looky likey boot but my memory eludes me .. Very good boots though.. been fooling people for a long time.

I bought one at the time £4 I think rings a bell-a member on here was behind bringing some copies in advance all in nice GSF sleeve s too !! must have been very early on 1975/ 1976 ?

Tats has got one they are easy to spot "In the flesh" you can feel the label

A long time personal want for me....

Rob

Not much help I know but mine came from Tim Ashibende about fifteen years ago. He tracked down Ray Dahrouge the producer, Tim would have asked him the right questions, was it issued etc. Try contacting "colouredman" on here.
