Too be fair he does state that the "Al McCarther is not an Original,

and as for the "Vanguards" 45 whats the point of booting a £5/10 record?,

not saying that it`s not a boot,i can`t find my copy on "Whiz" at the moment

to compare.

Didn't read the description. I should have before I pointed the finger, but I can definitely verify that the Vanguards is a boot. I have a guaranteed original of that record and it actually goes for a bit of money. It's an in-demand record for soul harmony collectors.

Thanks for clearing up the Al MCarther thing though. I just can't imagine anyone wanting to pay that much money for a bootleg.

they should come over here for the Vanguards Jazzy as it's very cheap, lots of copies about and can't imagine why anyone would want to charge lots of money for it.

Certain i have the Vanguards, but i think i have the "Somebody Please" flip as my plug side. Like Chalky says Jazzy it's a cheapie, and i'm not certain the one on e-bay is a boot, may be just a variation on the italics, as seems to happen with a lot of records due to old pressing plant practices.

How's the Al McArthur a boot, I got mine from Ted about ten years ago and it looks the same, why would anyone have booted it 10 years ago, it was pretty unknown except in Belgium. In fact I think mine was the same as an original I had had for years and sold just prior to getting the second copy.

The Vanguards on Whiz usually look like this:

If it's been booted it will have been done for the U.S. market, but I can't see why. It usually sells for $10-$15 on ebay.

Flip of said disc ' Somebody Please ' is the side for me . Nice slow pleader... £20 on JM but agree with LarsC can be picked up regulary for a lot less on ebay. Recommended 45 IMO.

Thanks for that, now I need the original matrix # to see if mine's real!

I assume those pesky Belgians must have had it re-pressed then, just like Sam Fletcher in the 70s.

There's actually someone from Belgium selling the same record on ebay at the moment, apologies for not keeping the link but he has a perfect scan up there if it's any help

Are you sure the Vanguards is not a genuine second issue ? As you know -there is a big difference.As you say-why counterfeit a relatively inexpensive obscure record at all?
