Hi Jackie Where in the country are you? Could I come and take a look? I am not a dealer, just a collector and If O do not buy them I would happily put you in touch with an honest dealer who would help you get the best price thanks Paul

No just me not being able to spell!

One of my favourite all time records and as usual I have been singing along with words that make no sense and bear no relation to the actual lyrics. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH I will copy these and put them in the sleeve of my pristine Dispenza copy

Just to let everyone know that I have been in contact with the lady who was selling this record and after taking advice from Ebay and has withdrawn it. She assures me the story about finding these in the loft is true and as she has withdrawn the record I have no reason to not believe her. I only wish that more sellers on Ebay were as honest as Claire has been. Thank you

I am going to put a £5000 bid on this just to fuck them up. They know full well that it is a boot, they are taking the piss so I will take the non payment strike if they have the nerve to try

This nob knows full well that the record is a boot. I might put a bid of £5000 on it just to make sure that the crook does not sell it to some poor unsuspecting bugger who has more money than sense. Thanks to a few others on Souls Source and Pete Smiths network we did the same a few months ago to some idiot who was trying to pass off a Timi Yuro with a crappy home made label, if I remember correct the bidding went up to about £20,000 he must have been creaming himself until the twat realised that he was being spoofed

This is now on the Q&A section Q: There should be a pressing plant number in the run out of the vinyl, what is the number please? A: Hi, the number is 100272 regards, Claire So according to Manships Guide that makes it a BOOT!

Is this for real or a boot? https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Flirtations-STRONGER-THAN-HER-LOVE-F705-Festival-7-Northern-Soul-Single-/182372300845?hash=item2a763c782d:g:cl8AAOSw4GVYPzNg Looking at the rest of the stuff that they have listed and the unlikely tale that the records are " Part of a big northern soul collection we found when we moved into our new house" it all looks very dubious to me.

Never ever in all my life have read so much bollocks. If you were around at the time and a lover of soul music and a regular seasoned allnighter goer this was the singularly most embarrassing thing that could ever have happened! That is if you were really lucky and missed Wigan's Chosen Few poncing around to Skiing in the snow It still gives me a cold chill when I remember that awful fucking night that those complete twats appeared on TOTP while my mum, dad, three sisters and a couple of their friends all pissed themselves and then asked me if I could get up and do that daft dancing for them. And made even worse by the fact that the picture sleeve clearly shows front centre stage the c@nt that ripped me off for tickets to the first anniversary!! He still lives locally I am told, now where did I leave my baseball bat?

Hi Please can you let me know if you still have this? thanks Paul

The first time I ever heard this was at YATE! and as I stopped going to all nighters in 1979 I would guess that it was late 77 or early 79. Might be worth asking Dave Greet if anyone has his email address.

I bid £25,000 on that Timi and the twat blocked me

Yes it was a hoax of sorts. The record that was for sale was a fake and the seller had been told by loads of people but ignored them. So I placed a £25,000 bid and then asked Pete Smith to send out a warning on his circulation list and loads of people chipped in mental bids until the seller blocked me but then someone else placed a bid of £30k. The seller will not get paid but I hope he gets a huge bill from ebay and maybe it will teach him a lesson!

I forgot to add Thans to Pete Smith for circulating this to his mailing list and getting the bids rolling in, Sadlley the twat blocked my after I bid £30,000

The seller is a complete twat and con merchant, he knows that the record is a fake and he has taken a name which is very close to that of a very reputable dealer. All designed to con someone out of a significant amount of money. The bids are just a wind up and show that the Northern Soul fraternity have a sense of humour. As for reporting everyone who tries this on Ebay, yes we bloody well should! I report at least a dozen every week. We want young people on our scene and we do not want them to feel that it is full of crooks.

Thank you to whoever it was that bid me up to £1420.00 I have increased my max bid to £2500 and will continue to increase it everytime someone gets close. So please do not hesitate to bid we could make this the biggest NON SALE ever! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252364194021?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I changed my mind have have submitted a bid for £1500. I promise that if anyone outbids me I will top it. Come on lets really wind these bastards up!

There is a simple solution to this. Bid it up to an outrageous amount and then not pay the twat. I am prepared to take a non payment strike just to get theses tossers off Ebay. I am going to set my sniper to drop a £5000.00 bid on it an hour before it ends, anyone want to top it for a laugh? I have done it before and it seems to work

At current exchange rates that make it around £725.00, for that you can have my copy. It is just about the best you will ever see. Most would say MINT but because I have played it a few times I will call in M- If you are interested drop me a line and I will send you some pictures

Hi I have an issue, ex+ condition £95 inc postage. Please let me know Paul

I was going to reply to this but to honest I can't be bothered

Personally I hate digitised music, I do listen to Youtube when I am at my office after hours (like now) and I do have loads of music on my phone that I play in my car but when I get home at night I spin vinyl because it is the ONLY way to listen to good music.

Did I do something wrong? I was just looking for information of some of the records in my collection and this thread popped up so I left a comment and some pics. Personally I think that anything that has Len Jewel's name on it is worth talking about, Just a shame that my copy of Bettin' On Love is on Fontana, it's a really nice copy though!
