Speedlimit Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Just scrolling on evil Bay and came across this Del Tours sweet and lovely to my eyes this looks like a boot label wrong type and wrong colour to start with, run out groove looks to big as well. Doesn't state its orig but I'm sure some unsuspecting soul will pay stupid bucks for it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tlscapital Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 He sells carver with photocopy labels and mention it otherwise. This one looks to be just that but no mention of that in this item's description... You might want let him know that if ever. I'm not. All this unimaginative 45 re-issuing business wether it being "legit" or not is just over sickening IMO. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not only that, but the print is weak and uneven, like it was taken from a photocopy. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Look at the other stuff for sale. Grab a genuine fake George Lemons while you’re at it. Rubbish like this makes me puke. It gives UK eBay sellers in particular a bad name. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That was my point, total fake but like stated not mentioned in sellers discription, knwe it wasn't real but thought would point it out to anyone who may have thought otherwise. Luckly I have been privileged to know 2 djs who have originals. Mick H and Gary Rushbrooke, when he got it off Richard, always wanted a copy.

Paul Shirley Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Well it’s not as rare as folks think then because I know 3 others who’s names have not been mentioned and I missed one on eBay around ten years ago, was sold to a friend I bid but wasn’t sure of value back then but I’m sure it wasn’t a great deal over two grand but it was ten years ago , may be I should say yeah it’s bloody rare but their are more people own a copy than maybe folks think I could give you the other names but it’s their business not mine and not for me to announce lol Edited September 9, 2020 by Paul Shirley 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I was thinking of 45s Dave and I bought off Richard with idea to dj. Combinations I'd got off him a little earlier along with CODs. May have been Main Change but think we might have had one from USA. Royal Robins was off Richard. Another I think was Classics on Yan-G. Chris may have bought Classics off us too. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

"Blind Girl" got a few stray plays as a new "test record", but never got in even an infrequent rotation, as far as I remember. "Black Girl" by The Desires was played a lot more, and sold decently locally and was stocked in a lot more shops. I saw The Del-Tours in a shop and played it, and then bought it. Incidentally, this is an example for the "Releases With The Same Catalogue Number" thread, both being Starville 1206. Amanda Love's "I Don't Mind" was played more, too.
