On a recent visit to tokyo, I was given a copy of David Ruffin "I want you back" on a Soul Gems (vol 2) 45.

I can't find any info on this label. Can anyone shed any light on who is behind it, where it's made, etc?

It's marked up as a "DJ only" label. Is it classed as a "carver" or just a plain boot?

Any info welcome

Cheers

Dave

There's a Felice Taylor / Chuck Jackson release on that label as well.

Seems to be bootlegs and not official releases.

Is it lathe-cut?

If it isn't, it's not a carver...

Not sure about that John. A wee bit too technical for me!!

It's a decent quality record and nicely printed, etc.

Would just like to know where it's come from etc. No address or indication of country of origin.
