ok. Never noticed that. I also thought that Belgian pressings all had centres, like the dutch ones.

Why do you think it's Belgian? BIEM indicates France, Belgium would be SABAM, wouldn't it?

Great Macka B vid. Or at least the parts I understood. Seems he mellowed down a bit (in a political sense). Last time I played his records was in the late 80s and he talked about to get rid of Maggie and described some blokes as coconuts (black on the outside and white inside). Edit: Sample taken from 54-46 was my number or is my number?

I don't want to spread any false rumours but the fonst of title and artist don't look right to me. I remember the previous thread and remember the first time I saw the scan. "Recent press, computer designed label" I thought immediately.

What I'm about to say applies to non-UK euro releases only. The UK market is a place of its own! General rule of thumb for euro pic sleeves: they're never worth more than their US counterpart. Exceptions to that rule: They never came out in the US or are different takes or have highly collectable sleeves (especially Motown). The euro language releases on Atlantic and Tamla-Motown used to fetch big big money many years ago but there's hardly any demand for them nowadays. I sold plenty of german (and a few euro) P/S issues over the years and most of the time I only got a fraction of the price of the US release. Maybe I forgot an aspect or two, feel free to correct me....

Kev, I was only joking. I said 100 and 100 it will be. Depending on the condition.

Your wish is my command, Chalky

Thanks Chalky! I have an allegedly NM copy coming from the US. I intend to sell and thought £100 might be a good price in this condition.

Carl Carlton - I can feel it - Back Beat. Somebody with an idea of current value? Last copy on Popsike is $250 for an US graded VG+ copy... Thanks Benji

Robb, maybe i'm just misreading it, but are you saying that Wilson Pickett's version of "Baby don't you weep" was actually released as "I'm coming home"? Because on all 45 and LP releases I've seen of it it's always titled "baby don't you weep"?
