Ernie Andrews Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Dave Have you read my comments on threads to do with this? AS I took an over indulgent interest in this record. Im telling you that the evidence suggest they were pressed up and to say it wasnt around in the 70s etc is a misnoma - Isnt thats what the Northern scene was about - finding new things one year after another and is still happening to a lesser degree today. Their are new people on the scene Dave and this site IMO is to help them when purchasing records - Its called "Informed choice" Dont tell me you never made a mistake cos I certainly have on quite a few occasions and would have welcomed the advice of be careful! etc. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz how does that help the individual?

Dave Pinch Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Because its all been said before steve. Did anybody have this before the mid 90s and every copy i seen looks and feels the same.

Dave Pinch Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Please put up the old thread where I believe we spoke about Sam's original copy and the difference to the others knocking about . i know sam had the first copy and it wasnt cheap. but he had it around 1999 and not before. in what way was it different.is there a scan of it ? who has that copy now? i know it was done as a ballad in the 70`s by some other bloke called hymes( first name escapes me). saw it at andy dysons when fredrick111 first surfaced. i thought all the copies came from the same source in the states around 10 years ago and the first copies were £1000 and over the next 3 or 4 years and it tumbled down in value. fair enough its very in demand these days and has gone back up to £200 as the copies have long dried up. but i`d love to see a copy thats different so i can be totally convinced. and by the way its still a tremendous 45 dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve G Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Dave Pinch, I saw it for sale at Cleethorpes a few years ago, different colour and different vinyl. Arthur was also there at the time and we all spoke about it. Also seem to remember John A having a view on it, I'll ask him when I see him next.

It's actually ToNNy. Andy Mac also had a copy for years. It is the same guy if you ask me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Would be great if someone could post up some real evidence of the two different pressings existing and not just stuff like "I saw a copy once and it looked different from the other one". This way we're only going around in circles. Scans, photos, matrix details, record held in front of a light source (proving the alleged transparency in vinyl) etc. would be superb.

Steve G Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Well yes that would be easy if we could do that Sebastian. Unfortunately in the heat of the record bar at Cleethorpes with frenzied buying and selling going on, I forgot to ask for a scan I assume the other theory is that it was pressed up by the Las Vegas lot in the 90ss?

Guest Brett F Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Well on the other thread John Manship says there is no proof there was a boot..................but got me thinking, what if this so called 'original' copy was in fact a boot...and all the others are originals.................. Ps...got my copy out again, held it up to the light, can't see a thing through the vinyl, it has clear edged text plus a blunt edge not sharp. Plus..I don't really care for the tune anymore, but seeing as i don't sell my records i can't help the initial poster.......

Ernie Andrews Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have Sams Copy ! -Get John Weston on here because we compared them at the Ritz in Manchester and thats why the difference in blurred text under a spyglass/ see through vinyl as opposed to thick vinyl you cannot see through. sharp edge of record as opposed to blunt edge of record suggested that it had been repressed together with a statement form a dealer in the US that shocked me but obviuosly he wouldnt admit it directly. AS for John Manship I cant remember if I sent my copy to him and the 2 copies he had might have been both originals or both boots because they are very similar. Very much like the Dwight franklins. Anyhow Im just saying to anyone just have a look before you buy thats all! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Anyhow Im just saying to anyone just have a look before you buy thats all! Good advice, re Fred Hymes, but it's clear on the Dwight Franklins, that the repress had something scratched out in the deadwax ( unlike the originals), i got 3 off Dwight Franklin that were originals, then i recall on here someone saying that he had then done a run of re-presses with the scratch out as i mentioned. Point being that isn't a dispute there is a clear guide via deadwax, that there is a known difference. ATB Brett Its getting like groundhog day on this forum of late...

Dave Pinch Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 there wouldnt just be one original copy tho. naturally there would be a first run. surely someone else on here would also have one dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 playing devils advocate, 1999 it was unknown, doesn't mean it didn't exist. Records do turn up even today that were not previously known about. Maybe there are two different presses of this, done at or around the same time but at different plants for financial reasons?

NEV Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 there wouldnt just be one original copy tho. naturally there would be a first run. surely someone else on here would also have one dave Without dredging throught the archives ,,i recall people saying things like " the repress is thinner than original" and if you hold it to the light you can see light through the 2nd press ? I bought one off some kind fella on here a few yrs back ,who went out of his way to give as much detail as possible to state it being 1st press original . It was heavier but you could see daylight through it when held up to the light ..............through the big round hole in the middle Great record that, thanks to all the hype, cost me about £100 and went for more when the demand rose again for it Now please stop going on about it and find something more creative to do with your time Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
