The best thing about it was the two adverts before it played

So this is legit? Must be rare. Anyone know how many copies a huge company like MGM would've repressed? Why has this been off the radar for so long?

Yes it's the Invitations we are referring to 😂 The black MGM label design used on the issue of 'Watch Out Little Girl' was used from 1959 - 1968. The label variant the OP has was used from 1968 - 1982 so it must be a later press using the same stampers. Never seen one before either but it must be legit!

There used to be some fantastic photos from that period on the Paynes website, now sadly gone.

Have you seen this variant before Chalky? There is no trace of it on popsike, discogs, 45cat, ebay or a general Google search.

The promo matrixes are scratched in too. Here are some pictures of them, are yours the same?

Cheers for those. Those matrixes are the same as my promo copy. Are they scratched in or stamped in the runout?

There are many other legit MGM 45's that have the same 'poor' printing so this 45 is not unique in that respect. Suspicious and intriguing in equal measures. Can you provide a scan with it out of the sleeve and give us the matrix numbers?

I think it was the journalists take, not the academics but b*llocks nonetheless!

Illusions Crying Days Are Over

I thought you weren't ranting, make your mind up! 😂😂 I think the lady doth protest too much!

You yourself said "rant over", after slagging the manager and players off. Want to borrow my glasses? 😂

Couldn't care less, after ranting about their performance?? 🤔

Careful lads, the admin soul police don't like a "bootleg detective/policeman act", apparently. See the now locked Little John thread! 😂

Check a few copies of the same record on Discogs and I think you'll find it is UK dealers asking ridiculous prices. UK dealers are also 'optimistic' with their grading. US dealers frequently undergrade.

Isn't Dave Godin responsible for that one too aswell as 'Northern Soul' - In Blues & Soul magazine didn't he always used to finish with "Keep the faith - right on now." ?

Who is the publisher please? Thanks in advance!

No 'Baby I Need Your Loving '? Insane!

20% extra which should be added at point of sale when imported to the UK. So if sale is through ebay or amazon it will be charged at checkout. Discogs don't have a system in place as far as I am aware which means you could get lucky if it slips past customs. Similar with a private sale. Good luck! 👍

Well it doesn't seem like much has actually changed, just ebay are now taking a slice of cash payments (dressed up as being of great benefit to sellers). From the money-saving website; " eBay sellers will soon be paid directly into their bank rather than into PayPal accounts. It means PayPal will no longer take a slice of your earnings, but eBay's hiking fees. We explain the full details on what's happening and who the winners and losers are. Currently, PayPal is the only option eBay sellers have to receive money from sales unless they get cash in hand, so switching to using bank accounts is a big shake-up – although it's worth pointing out that buyers can continue to use PayPal and other methods to send payments. The changes are being gradually rolled out to private sellers from now until the end of 2021. Our eBay Selling guide takes you through how to cut fees and boost sales when flogging your unwanted junk. Plus see how to avoid fees altogether by selling on Facebook Marketplace. How are eBay's fees changing? This is what's happening for private sellers below (business sellers may pay slightly different fees): Existing system. When an item sells, eBay charges a flat 10% of the sale price, including postage. PayPal's cut is 2.9% of the final amount, including postage, plus 30p for each transaction. So sell something for £10, plus £3 delivery, and eBay will take £1.30 while PayPal takes 68p. This leaves you with £11.02. Alternatively, sell something for £100, plus £2.50 delivery, and eBay will take £10.25 while PayPal takes £3.27. This leaves you with £88.98. New system. eBay will charge a final value fee of 12.8%, including delivery, plus 30p per order, while PayPal will be cut out of the equation. This means you'll be fractionally better off. So take your £10 sale, plus £3 delivery, and eBay will take £1.96, leaving you with £11.04. Alternatively, sell something for £100, plus £2.50 delivery, and eBay will take £13.42, leaving you with £89.08. It's not just sellers fees that are changing. Here are some other points to note: You'll still be charged for cash in hand. A big downside is that currently some sellers avoid PayPal fees eating into their profits by taking cash in hand on collection. But eBay will still charge the new higher fee even if you accept cash. It will do this by debiting the fee from the "preferred" account you've listed on its records. Payments will take longer process. Under the changes, cash will now take two working days to hit sellers' accounts – unlike with PayPal, where it's instant. So if you get paid on a Saturday, the cash might not reach your account until Tuesday – although you can choose to schedule payments daily as funds are available, or weekly "
