When these pressings started appearing on eBay, years back now, a few members Soulsource tried to bring that corporations attention to these booters, but gave up after getting zero reaction from the company, despite the fact that at the time it was against eBay policy (it still probably is) to sell bootlegs on their site. I wonder whether anyone's pursuing either eBay or Amazon for their share of the profits and or their failure to adequately police the products that are selling. As the BBC's watchdog program so often uncovers, these sites are rife with counterfeit products , often proving to be falsely CE marked and dangerous to the public. In the course of the trial of these guys it has apparently been stated by the authorities that there has been "no complaint from members of the public". Given that some of the DJ personalities involved in the music industry have on occasion expressed their concerns about the counterfeiting business, I find this difficult to believe. I guess that it is beyond the governance of any authority to bring the web sites themselves to book.

Nice double sider on UK Action or Sansu , you takes your pick. Betty Harris ‎– Ride Your Pony b/w Trouble With My Lover Action 4535 1969 I'm opting for the b/w cos I like the way it swings.

Has anyone played the flip to Lezli Valentine "I'll do Anything" , it's backed with a beautiful Bert Keys produced, crossover tune ? Lezli Valentine I've got to keep on Loving You All Platinum 1968

Here's one that's new to me, my copies on the Barclay, French issue Frankie Gee Date with The Rain

Two good sides with this one which was surprisingly new to me until I heard it on one of Ian Levine's excellent pod casts. Hence acquisition became a priority, £10-£20 should secure a decent copy. Sounding a little on the Detroit funky side a la Parliaments , no surprise with Don Davis being involved. The Mad Lads - Love is Here Today and Gone Tomorrow Volt

Sorry if my post is perceived by you as negative and causes any offence. I havn't posted anything that is factually incorrect, which may be of interest to any potential buyer. However Chalky/Admin feel free to delete it, as I don't seem to be able to. My apologies.

Sorry to say they obviously couldn't be arsed to trawl the net. FYI Manship has a minter for sale for £75. Worth about twenty quid in that condition I'm afraid, great record though it is. I believe that there are also second issues, very similar to the first, as it was re-pressed by the company following demand from the Torch & Cats, so it may also depend on the label design.

Great stuff, mine's ordered. Thanks for sharing.
