The boots were pressed at Monach, and by the delta number sometime around the mid 70's. The matrix number is ZTSC142593. On the original is all in one followed by -1B. On the boot it's ZTSC  142 593 and it's about half the font size of the original. The easiest way to tell the difference is on the originals the 'foot' of the letters & numbers face the label, on the boot they face the grooves

The boots are also more a yellow than a light orange

Can't fit it in the scanner

Si Do you mean "used to funkier styles" as in used to stuff we used to listen to & collect around 81/2 i.e. stuff labelled "Jazz Funk" around that time? If so, can you remember any track being played on the 'northern scene'?

Perhaps one, if not the, deciding factor is whether you can dance to it? If it's too far away from the traditional 4 beats to the bar or 70's dance beat that 'northern soul' do attendees are familiar with, they won't or can't dance to it, hence empty floor. Is't 'proper' funk too syncopated?

MSK stands for Martin, Schneider and Kajeski, who owned M-S records, Detroit. Chester J Kajeski owned the music publisher Chetkay, that published the Silky Hargraves tracks (DBA CHETKAY Music Pub, 15401 Tirman, DEARBORN, MI) Kool Kat records were a division of MSK productions, Detroit Martin & Schneider also owned Marquee records, distributed by MSK productions. Marquee & Dearborn were run out of the same building in Dearborn M-S, Dearborn, Kool Kat & Marquee all have songs on them licensed from Chetkay

It's a boot. The circled M show it's from the Monach pressing plant & the triangle is the greek letter delta (D). The delta number 99522 puts it into the 70's as the last of 60's, december 1969, was 78959.

Mine has 1091 scratched in on the IMT side & 1092 on the 'Comin' Down' side but it's stamped in, not scratched. It has a 'Bell Sound' stamp on both side's run out. Also the black and white stripes go right down to the edge of the label , there's no white edging and "MFG BY SUE RECORDS, INC. N.Y." under A 'Juggy' Production'

Originals have 'Mastered by Frankfort & Wayne'Â stamped in the run out of the A side (only)

Didn't you used to introduce it as 'the main man from Chicago'? Was it only big for three month because they all wore out after half a dozen plays? Except for brand new copies, all the ones I've had cut up badly. Also, came out on an LP, slightly longer too.

Atlantic 584282 &Â Â DAKAR 610

More like in the 70's they were covered up long enough to allow them to be pressed at the Monach pressing plant and imported to be sold here?

This track was posted on SS about 2.5 years ago by a USA based member (Florida?); I seem to remember it was something along the line of ' just found this (7") record does anyone know it'. It was a red labelled single. Mock up?

Is the other side's title something like ' party in the whitehouse'? If so, I've a white demo somewhere, that can go.

What is the picture on the picture sleeve? Perhaps someone has just been a bit artistically creative with a copy of a 'Sevens' press of the tracks? There were also some blank label presses of those two together in recent years - 'Sevens' test presses?. I can't see it being anything other than a recent-ish 're-press' aimed at the northern scene. YCMI was the B side to the 'plug' side 'Anything That You Do' in 1966. OIAM was the A side to 'Hey Hey' in 1967. If it was a legit re-release, surely they would some for the UK, as it would potentialy the bigest market for it? Anyone seen a CBS issue of OIAM?

Clifford  Binns first press is orange. Second (legit) press is green. Boot is also green, but does not have '208' in the run-out. (Do'nt know what the 208 relates to, the record number is C014)

columbia ind. santa monica calif. usa Tenous link time! Maybe it's the test press of the 12" for Salsoul records? The Salsoul releases were distibuted through CBS? CBS owned Columbia Columbia has a pressing plant in Terre Haute, Indiana. They also had another plant in Santa Maria, California and another West Coast factory in Hollywood California. Maybe their West coast office was in santa monica calif. usa

Ian That's his old one, I don't think it's still is valid. His current one is Chalky@chalky.soul@googlemail.com        from recent event details /index.p...p;event_id=5542

Sounds very odd, I've bought off Ian for well over 20 years and never know him to deal in boots of any kind, so if he did sell it to you, he must have been covinced it was an original surely?
