True, usually stamped on the centre

No, thats a long established rumour - they are actually using up stock of their old labels which say "licensed from Sue Records USA" and ther black box is simply overprinting that to cover up that wording.

oNCE HE HAD THIS RECORD, FORGET WHAT IT WAS, and he did the "labels are spotless, pristine, best you'll ever see etc" except you could plainly see initials on the centre, so I pointed this out to him and he said he hadn't noticed it

John?

IT's got "an original PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE!!!!" :lol:

Mike?

Please please drop this bloke a line and tell him he's selling a bootleg, because his description is the most overblown, pompous and ridiculous I have ever read on ebay. And it is a bootleg of course. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BARBARA-MILLS-Queen-...93%3A2|294%3A50

I honestly don't think the Candian Motown 45's are any rarer than the US ones, only a few years ago you could buy them for $5. Rain is probably easier on decca than it is on US Bell to be honest, always turning up on Ebay.

This is true, but they never are and never will be, with a few exceptions. Mainly they'd be half the price of US issues.

I honestly don't know Gene, I thought it was Belgian but most people are saying it's from Holland.

Well if anyone had just reason to say I TOLD YOU SO it would be you (and Toad). Except you were told to shut up and stop being negative if I remember correctly. So I'll take more notice of your predictions in future Joan. Any tips on this weeks lottery

I spent 6 months trying to sell a mint copy on here

I can't do that, I take prozac, stops you getting upset...well it's supposed to!

What I;d sell em for What's the going rate for these? Royal Esquires - Aint Gonna Run PRIX M- not sure about this - is it on 2 different coloured labels? Ollie Jackson - Just A Little While PEPPER M- Dramatics - All Because of You SPORT EX Younghearts - A Little Togetherness CANTERBURY M- 50 Metros - Since I Found My Baby - RCA WD EX 125 - 150 Hannibal - My Kinda Girl - Rare WD M- Barbara Lynn - I'm A Good Woman DEMO - M- 50 Mitty Collier - My Babe M- Jimmy Preacher Ellis - Do It By Myself M- 75 it's come down a bit

But the one in refosoul as Marvelous Ray uploaded by ME is off the vinyl, that copy I sold to Max about 4 3/4 years ago

That's a weird one because I always thought that was the only way to get that but it came out in Spain.

Is that Lloyd & Glen or vice versa, don't think there is a Glenn Llloyd however I may be wrong.

How's it different?

About as funny as piles. Because a lot of people can't afford to just throw money down the drain.

Yeah, I was right wasn't I...I was standing halfway up the stairs and saying to every one who came in, don't look now but the guy at the bottom of thee stairs is Drug Squad, after I'd warned every single person who'd walked in, the guy came up to me and said he was sick of me telling everyone who he was and they arrested me

I remember all that Motown stuff you sent in Tom. That was 20 years ago, unbelievable isn't it. Wish I had a set of the magazines myself! By the way it wasn't Rob Pheasant's Fork In The Road, it was Roy Gelder's.

Steve, pay me for a record, I won't send it to you but I'll keep your money - what will you do, apart from cry like a girl?

I didn't suggest the police should be involved though, someone else did, I just said that I, me, probably would have done something to try and get my money back by now, whether that involved trading standards, the police, MI5, the CIA or Inspector Gene Hunt. And I know I was shouting.
