I'm selling a real Northern soul gem on ebay right now.

It's Frank Dell 'He broke your game wide open/I'll go on loving you' 7" on Valise records.

I urge you to check it out as it has a ridiculously low starting price.

Here's the link anyway...

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRANK-DELL-HE-BROKE-...1QQcmdZViewItem

or just go on ebay and search for Frank Dell.

I'm totally new to this forum, so I apologise if I've violated any etiquette etc.

can you give me any pointers as to what to look for to indentify the original? the only source I've found with any useful info has been popsike. I'd be grateful for any genuine information.

Ta!

As Ken says, it's a nice boot, and you might get £25 for it, but when you have seen a real one it's obvious.

Thanks a lot for your help and advice, I do try to preserve my rep as a dealer as far as possible (wish I'd come on here BEFORE I put the thing on ebay now!) and I'm not trying to take anyone for a ride here (I'll be amending my ebay listing to describe it as a 'reissue', since ebay don't allow boots, luckily nobody's bid yet)

You're right though, the difference is obvious from your jpeg, the label's a much deeper red and has that indent in the middle.

It makes a lot of sense though cos I got the record in a collection of 7"s which were all either 70s revival issues or obvious bootlegs/reissues.

Thanks again for the assistance and lack of derision, it's very kind!

The boot is styrene as well. Foreverchanges - try and find out about delta numbers - you know the number in the run off which follows the triangle symbol. You can date the records to the exact year it was manufactured by these numbers, so your Frank dell will almost certainly have a number dating it to 1977.

It also came out on a thicker, heavier Vinyl, also Original
