Bids starting at £2k for a manky condition EMI disc of Chapter Five on eBay????

Someone obviously doesn't understand the difference between a proper Studio Acetate and a poxy carver you could get cut for a tenner from any old C90!

Madness!

Loads of it going on, wish I still had mine from the 70s I'd be minted....I hear the ones with Tony Warot's handwriting fetch a premium 😂

Don’t want to urinate on anyone’s chips but to me the handwriting for the title You Can’t Mean It looks very much like on this genuine unreleased acetate of Tony Colton I sold last year via John Manship 😮

The other writing of course doesn’t.

A quick examination shows distinct and obvious differences between the hands that wrote the titles on the discs , most notably in the formation of the letters  "N" and "Y" . Any decent graphologist would have it thrown out of court ... :shades:

They did.

The seller is a davidm3091 and the organist in the band was a Dave McGerty.

 

Coincidence?

Looking at the sellers feedback at .. . .

https://www.ebay.co.uk/fdbk/feedback_profile/davidm3091?filter=feedback_page:RECEIVED_AS_SELLER&_trksid=p2047675.l2560

. . .  and then scrolling down to the end, you will find this . . .

" EXCELLENT TRANSACTION - SUPERB ITEM - WELL DONE CHAPTER FIVE - KEEP THE FAITH

d***d (3257)

More than a year ago "

Probably not a coincidence.

Yeah I’m not a handwriting expert 🤣

But it looks like a proper one rather than a carver 👍

I had an EMIdisc of the Sweet Talkin Guy instrumental from Wigan with ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL writing to this that was 100% dodgy so you can't extrapolate ANYTHING from that comment. Dx

I was pointing out it “could” be genuine as were used for genuine test presses
