I always used to end with this one...til I sold it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF8bbxlKxcU

That Big Maybelle record is probably the most emotional vocal I've ever heard, almost makes me cry towards the end when her voice nearly breaks, talk about singing it from the heart..

A lot of Philly records have LW stamped, probably the most famous is Moses Smith, but of course some copies don't have it, just to conuse the issue

No it's good mate, really good, the fact that I sold mine for £150 yesterday and could have sold it three times says something about how good a pressing it is.

Yours is ok - I had one with no Bell Sound stamp as well.

Click on his scan at the top and it opens up into a massive photo

I'm 99.9% certain yours is original

Yeah I think I took mine apart and the address was in there, or it might be in the battery compartment.

No mate there is no bootleg of that one, only a UK reissue.

That one in the picture is pretty unusual, in fact not sure I've ever seen that before.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO READ THE INTRO, THANKS PETE SMITH 01902 326306 pete.smith@freeuk.com THE TIME HAS COME TO SELL MY OWN COLLECTION OF ASSORTED ODDITIES.

It was booted at the same time and by the same people who did the Yum Yums on a very convincing ABC demo. My mate was done with at the time, found out a few months later and was so gutted. It's on vinyl, and if I remember there is a little label fade on it near the titles, might be wrong, have a look closely at the run off and see if it's slightly pitted, little dots in the vinyl.

Only ever used them once but they were very quick and the quality was fine

£200...

Most if not all Discotron's were made here in the West Midlands...Birmingham I think

That's the same as the one pictured but it hasn't been dinked, they are from the same batch, not many didn't have the centres knocked out - but same rules apply as I said in my first post.

A pair of jeans that you buy is a permanent thing, a 2 minute piece of music played through speakers has disappeared after that 2 minutes. You can argue forever about the jeans because you'll always have them there, but once the moment has passed, you can't argue about the music played.

It is. Which is why I mentioned that bootleg having a USA large centre.

It is, but when it's in bold type, it means it's been booted. Now, I remember there being a yellow label and a white label boot of this. Not a red one though.

It is. USA style centre. No anti-slip milling around the edge of the label. No stamped in matrix number.

Most were but I'm sure a lot of Sue releases were dubbed off vinyl. I know loads of ska and reggae records were dubbed from Jamaican 45's, hence such terrible sound quality on UK issue.

I posted a reply similar to this now without getting as far as this post so my apologies.

No you had constant reissuing of records on labels like Sue, London, Action, Tamla Motown, Stateside. The Fascinations for instance was issued on Stateside, deleted after 3 months, then issued again 18 months later on Sue!

I've been mulling this over for a few days and I have decided that I totally rely on iTunes and mp3's nowadays. I sold all of my CD's, because I'd turned them into mp3's and put them in itunes. I have recorded all of my records, as mp3's, and now they are in itunes. So I now going to sell all of my own records, my personal collection that I've had for 30 years or more, because I've got no use for them anymore. So look out, there's going to be a few hundred more bootlegs on the market soon of course this has nothing to do with OVO vs laptop, but I don't care anymore, I'd just like to see people enjoying themselves while they still can

I think this is on Infinity, very early 60's and a real copy of the "Mister Postman" sound. Pretty good actually. She also had a second single on Crescent City.
