John Reed Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I've been on a real 80's kick, since buying again and I thought this was a great record when I first heard Ian Clark play it. You see the re-presses around quite cheaply, but can anyone give me more information on the original. How many known copies are there, will I have to sell my house to get one or will I ever get one? What are the differences between the original and the re-press. Many thanks, John Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thanks John, i was just basicly going by what i half remembered in your discription when you auctioned one last year. So then Ken is your flat or bevelled? got a steam roller to flatten it and pass of as an original Re-press are we talking re-press by the record company or bootleg?

Guest in town Mikey Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 While it may be a repress, I'm pretty sure there arent that many, and recently saw one in a dealers box for £70, which is about right I'd say. They were going for 30-35 in the mid 80s. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I think this is a repress,you mean by beveled,the vinyl rise`s a little about half inch at the start?,not happy,it was sold as a original ,i`ll take £60 if a reissue. . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ken, Thanks for the offer, but it's a bit toppy for me as dealers are quoting £15-20 for the re-press, with one on John's site for £20.

Simon M Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Three copies turned up 1983 via Soulfulsaint , and that was it ,( As far as I know) Although maybe JA turned up Soul Sam's copy ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Your right, he walked into Stafford, he had just come back from the states and said "here Dave play this, it will be a monster. You can have it for £20.00 but only if you play it". When Stafford finished I sold alot of records to John Anderson, that was amongst them, he then sold it to Sam. Took me along time to get another one. I believe John then found a few more a couple of years later, but not many. Edited October 23, 2006 by Dave Thorley Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sold one to Ian Clark and one to Dave when Stafford was at its height. I kept the other and its till in my modern collection.

Sorry for being dim, and in the very faint hope the one I bought (As an original for £35 at the TOTW) is one of the few originals. What do you mean by a bevelled edge? My copy is like most of the others I bought at that time (I file by when I bought them). Gail Anderson Salvador WD -flat but you can just feel a slight bump at the edge of the label. Same with Gene & Eddie Its no sin on Monica. The Cheryl Berdell, Preston Peters on Markhap, Jackie Beavers on Nation. All the same as the Glenda copy. When I read bevelled I assumed it was the cerated edge like many UK titles have. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The bevel is on the edge (run in) of the disc. It's quite distinct (mine looks about 3mm.) I imagine the originals finish square at the edge.

Guest in town Mikey Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I need someone to look at mine then. I cant find any kind of edge like that. My label is also more of a brick red than the scan earlier in the thread, but that could just be the scan itself I guess. If there are only 3, then there is very little chance mine is one of them....but if a few more are around...Hmm. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Some will appear to taper to a knife-edge, some will be neatly rounded off, (Bevelled) some appear to have no finish, ie just cut verticaly flat, not nicely finished, so you can see the thickness of the vinyl Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Md Records Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Have a few of the reissues in stock @ £10 (including P & P) but I'll just check the "bevelled" edges first, just to be doubly sure! Des Parker 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stockholmsoulfox Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I got a copy off Tim Brown's auction a while back.. The label is a slightly darker red but identical print. The vinyl is pressed flat without the bevelled edge and yes it's opaque compared with the repress which you can see through if held up to a bright light. Great Stafford record, modern soul at it's very best.. I'll put the repress on hold for you Rob as promised..
