I have a copy of Gary haines on Sound "Keep on going/ I want to sing".

The record has a Nashville mains stamp, is it a real copy?

I seem to remember there being something odd about this pressing regarding authenticity?

If it is a real one what the current going rate?

TIA

Chris.

Nashville Mains??? it says Nashville Matrix! And yep, if it's got that on it's definitely real. The boot is practically identical but doesn't have that stamp.

Sorry to disagree, but the COUNTERFEIT never had the NASHVILLE MATRIX scratched in. But some smart-Alec over the years has spent his spare time scratching them in..i've had a few with a "fake" Nashville Matrix but they are easy to detect as we all know what a real "Nashvile matrix" looks like.

hi chris, the issue was booted with a scratched in nashville stamp.

As I said above, counterfeit doesn't have the stamp, thanks for confirming this John. I have an original here with the stamp. The white demo is ultra rare, I've only had it once, in fact that was the only one I ever saw.

Cheers Guys, I`ve had this record kicking around the place for a couple of years and for some reason i always thought it to be a boot but looks like its a proper one.It has the Nashville matrix stamp and the ztsc number scratched in too...

Thanks for the info...

Chris

pete & john,what i was trying to say or put over ,was infact what you discribed a fake scratched in

nashville mark like you said which is easily spotted. the real one has the traditional nashville matrix stamp.

well nice to know that you feel the w/demo is rare might move it from the back of my havnt played

these for ages box lol.

so to answer chris"s question what value do you put on, if a original issue?

I don't quite agree with this Russ, the nashville stamp on mine is nowhere near as strong as they usually are and does look a little amateurish. It's 100% genuine though.

Here you are pete you can see another one now

Pete,

There is a definitive way to spot the ORIGINAL! Both the DEMO & the STOCK copy have a defining characteristic the counterfeit doesn't. It's in the new book, out shortly (i Think).

John

No Simon just played it

It now resides in my box thank you very much Pete

I played it out recently and got more reaction from people coming up to see what it was then got up to dance , cracking sound, needs lots of plays imho.

Scans of the issue and also of the matrix its quite faint but its there

Steve

Who played this first? I've always had a soft spot for it, hearing it first on one of the Grapevine lps. One of those records where the weedy white-sounding vocal fits in really well with the overall feel and probably serves the record better than more accepted styles of soul singing.
