Just a short question: My understanding is, that the H stamped demo is a bootleg. Am I right? Thanks!

I sold my VG condition yellow original of Tony Galla for 300 in early 2015. Thought demand had peaked at that time and I'd never get more for it. Guess I was wrong.

I'd even say it's the same backing as the Johnny Moore release. I clearly remember Richard Searling on one of his radio shows saying something like "I went through 1000s of records in the States but I never came across this one". And played the Johnny Moore release. Stuck in my head ever since. Fantastic record. Whatever version.

More likely they collect the same records. There are jamaican collectors after that deep-ish beat ballad-ish sound, they called it end of the pier sounds or something like that.

Most likely possibility in my opinion.

Not 100% correct. At least from what I know. Correct, it's called Well Tempered Soul. However it's a dutch release which was officially sent to Germany. At least that's my understanding after seeing 4 different copies, all were dutch but had stickers/inner sleeves indicating they were sold in Germany. So far I haven't seen a 100% german press.
