It was a MASSIVE hit at the time of release so was pressed at different pressing plants all over the US (different label designs, both styrene and vinyl copies etc.). It would surprise me if there is an out-and-out bootleg of this record, but there are legal reissues. There's a styrene plain label west coast Phil-L.A. Of Soul issue which has got a slightly different stereo take of it as well.

Yes there is. It's a great sweet soul ballad called "Tell Me Why (Can't We Be Friends)". Scan taken from the soulmusiccollector.com site can be found below. "My Baby's Got E.S.P." is one of the most fundamental tunes I've heard in my entire life. It affected me very seriously the first time I heard it and I haven't tired of it yet.

Going by recent eBay auctions, about £10-£15. This was released in 2001 or 2002. Does anyone know who produced this record? Was Ian Levine involved in recording it? It sounds nothing like his productions, but has got some of his trademark writing over it. Is it Steve Brookenstein on vocals? Sounds like him (same guy as on Four Vandals). A great tune in any case.

An obscure one:

There sure are some lovely looking label designs on Faro. Here are some of them:

A gentle bump for the morning Sourcers! Just to avoid confusion, it is the version of "Open the Door To Your Heart" which is included on Betty Wright's 1976 "Explosion!" LP which can be found on this 7" and NOT the (in my opinion) inferior version which can be found on her 1979 "Travelin' In The Wright Circle" LP. An MP3 of the entire tune, taken directly from the 7" can be found here: https://www.shingaling.com/BettyWright.mp3

I've got a copy of the current Soul Sam spin "Open The Door To Your Heart" by Betty Wright up for grabs. This was only released as an LP-track in the US. No US 7" or 12" exists of this track. It was ONLY issued as a 7" in Italy on RCA. You can listen to a soundclip taken directly from the record up for grabs here: https://www.shingaling.com/BettyWright.mp3 The vinyl is in M- condition. The sleeve is in EX+ condition. Minimum bid is £100. Please, PM me your offers. I'm going to close this auction on wednesday 30th of April at 13:00 (UK time).

It usually sells for £250-£350 though...

Yes, I'm sure you're right about that. My comments were just about the Sam Dees 45.

The Sam Dees / Clifford Curry 45 was indeed part of a recent box-set from Vampisoul (which can be bought for about £35 online): https://www.vampisoul.com/detail_single.asp?referencia=45031 As far as I know, all of Vampisoul's stuff is legit and they've released lots of fantastic compilations over the past couple of years.

Only if it is posted from Norway, as they are not members of the European Union. There shouldn't be a problem from Sweden or Denmark.

If you mean "Blues In The Night" then the most desirable release of it is probably the french Atlantic 45. It's otherwise a US LP-only track but was also issued on a french Stax 4-track EP which has got lower volume than the 2-track 45. The Atlantic 45 usually goes for about £150, but has sold for £250+. The Stax EP usually goes for £75-£100.
