Can't quite bring myself to post a comment/question saying it is a counterfeit Richard

The original has a raised 'X' on styrene This is a bootleg on vinyl with a scratched in 'X' There is a green vinyl original but the label colour and layout is quite different Loads of threads on here about originals versus counterfeits Cheers Richard

Think this got picked up recently on here with feedback to the seller Item now clearly listed as genuine original - which it is not https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150617778111&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3664wt_932 Cheers Richard

Hi all Looking for a copy of the Terrifics - Leave Us Alone/Let Us Be Free (Diamond Jim #8793) If you can help out please just PM me Cheers Richard

Missing number on a major label? Wheelsville #105 Groove City #203 Revilot #219, #220, #221 That would be interesting well for me anyway

Volumes on UK Pama

Old scan from eBay Just sell it to me Chris please Cheers Richard

Northern Soul is about elitist - I got it you don't. I have been there - you haven't. Differen version, rarest version etc.

Actually I think I might have worked out the order of the two releases as Linwood seems to have come before Dexter - so this means the Rivieras came first because it used the Linwood address The Riley's and Diamond Jim numbering systems intertwine and The Outcry on Riley's #8785 seems to be the last release with the Linwood address. Then the address changes to Dexter. One exception I can find is the Terrifics on Diamond Jim #8784 (just one number before the Outcry) which already has the Dexter address - but that could just be because the two discs came out around the time of the relocation Cheers Richard

Thanks Roger - will give that a go Richard

Great - thanks Roger How do you do those scans that change image? Pretty smart Cheers Richard

Sorry - I meant booted on white demo Cheers Richard

Hi everyone Was Barbara Randolph's - I Got A Feeling on Soul ever bootlegged please? If so, how can you tell the boots from the originals? Thanks Richard

Oh - if it helps I just spotted that The Rivieras address was 1871 Linwood while The Proto Jays was 12318 Dexter Cheers Richard Rivieras - You Counterfeit Girl - Soul-tbc

You Counterfeit Girl on Riley's was released as by The Rivieras and The Proto Jays ... But which came first? The Rivieras was on #369 while The Proto Jays release number was #8790 James Riley's numbering systems were all over the place Anyone know the history please? Great record Cheers Richard

And this DJ copy of #128 which seems pretty hard Cheers Richard

If you look at various Ric-Tic listings these show #122 being released in March '67 and #128 in April '67 - only a month between That said the in-between releases were put out up until #127 in June '67 - so #128 went backwards There was no #126 so no issue there over timing I have the following DJ copies of #122 which are interesting - check the differences in the credits Cheers Richard

The Karen logo is identical - so in those days must have been a straight copy from a real Karen record surely (not like using a computer sourced font these days)? Anyone know what it sounds like -and how good/bad the record is? Cheers Richard

Yes Pete - radically different - like it as it's rough around the edges When you say 'demo' do you mean promo or a real demonstration copy not issued to radio stations etc. - in the way most bands and the music business would view 'demo' Cheers Richard

Hi everyone Is there a company sleeve available for Providence Records please? I'm asking in relation to maybe finding a sleeve for a Dynamics on Top Ten that is Providence distributed Cheers Richard

Thought I had one of these but it turned out to be a pretty roughish copy with a nasty warp that wasn't mentioned Starting again now - so please PM me if you can help me out Thank you Richard

Anyone please? Just PM me Thank you Richard

I just picked up a M- grey label one for £70 - not bad I thought Anyone got a scan of the white label version Bob mentioned please? Cheers Richard

A couple of rare Canadian issues Cheers Richard

Don't think I paid much for my Dee & Flo - wouldn't mind a M/M-copy though - and it is of course the same basic backing as the awesome Dee & Joe - Who Is It Gonna Be on Jubilee which is a better song IMO Cheers Richard
