Mrtag Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yeah! I Think it'll Be All right I Think It Was The Poor Person That Ordered On The 2nd Got The Knock Back!! I Got The Email And The Receipt For Payment So Fingers Crossed Mr Postman If You're On Here Tomorrow Would Be A Good Day To Deliver :thumbsup: The Postie Must Have Heard My Prayers. He Came Back With It This Morning Just As I was Coming Back From Dog Walking!! He'd Already Delivered Once Then came Back With It From The Bottom Of The Sack Thought I Had Got A Broken One As All The Corner Was Well Bashed Up But It Was Great When I Opened It !! So Will Be Giving It A Blast Out Tonight !! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A Lot Depends On Where Abouts You Are In The Country As Many Areas Have A Backlog of Mail & Parcels Because Of The Recent Bad Weather.

Benji Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Was wondering, what is the common opinion about it now? Is it really a mispress? Have any other copies surfaced from anywhere else after or prior to the 7/8 copies on Ebay last month? Received my copy two days ago and have to say I still haven't made up my mind whether I like it or not. Intro reminds me of the Pied-Piper stuff on RCA and the whole songs sounds quite like Jackie Wilson ca. 66/67.

Well, you have mentioned Pied Piper and Jackie Wilson in the same sentence.....seems that they are two very complimentary descriptions though. I don't think i've heard anything as good as this, fom a "Northern" perspective in a loonnnggg time. total thumbs up from me. As regards it ligit"ness" its deffo an original pressing, as described in detail further back. Raised stamp in label, stamp in run out groves.....all ties in with Philly pressings. Also the sellers' provenance is that they came off a dealer who dealt with music industry employees who had old stock in 5 to 30 numbers. Some 14 years ago he recalls. Wasn't sure he had many left(or holding onto them), due to current inrterest......(oh look, record now fetching 300 quid plus...i've just found 25 i had left) So, i feel, no doubt these are original pressings...now wether the label discography is entered in correctly....or the disc we all have now IS how it should be...as i've not seen the listed copy to compare......so who really knows? Answers on a postcard to; All i know is it is powerhouse Northern Soul, to my ears thats as good as it gets. Mike Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
