Yes it is according to the sources that have been selling the LP compilations with the free 7" singles. Issued by Tramp Records in Germany, think the LP+ free 7" single reissue (of Cheatin' Kind) copies have all been bought up now!?! Not surprised as it'd be great investment if indeed they were licensed by Don Gardner.

Yes i most certainly did... cos' even I have a conscience and sense of justice.

Did not want to get involved in the whole Ian Levine Soul Pack scenario but have to say I totally agree with Pete here with his comment. To tell you the truth this whole thing is starting to turn into a bit of Ian Levine witch hunt, never met the guy so cant comment what hes like as a person but maybe instead of concentrating too much of our disgruntled opinions on the recent revelation of "lookalike bootlegs" connected to Ian we should be perhaps trying to sort out who is this "raptorbass2014" person that seems to get away with murder with regard to bootleg lookalikes!! As far as I know theres no John Bowie reissue around?! I think they have been mentioned on this forum before for misrepresenting his auction listings with use of incorrect wording..for a start most of his listings are still incorrectly worded as most of the records on the listing are NOT "70s pressings" or "reissues" as described in most of the listings?! Its people like this eBay seller that are constantly wearing down the integrity of the whole soul collecting scene, nobody will be collecting royalties from these sales as they are all "lookalike bootlegs" being produced at an alarming rate,so "soul police" where ever you are please lay off Mr Levine as the real criminals of bootlegs are still out there , time for some justice! https://www.ebay.com/itm/JOHN-BOWIE-YOURE-GONNA-MISS-A-GOOD-THING-BABY-MERBEN-PROMO-REISSUE-/201512940807?hash=item2eeb1b7507:g:e9kAAOSwFMZWqT4D

Mike think mine cost about 50p all them years back from a soul bowl pack sold it a few years later for probably £2...just goes to show if certain djs spin a tune then it can turn a $9 record into a mega buck tune...all wrong really as its hype. Practically a record's value should be judged by the rarity of its label and the amount of presses that were made of the tune, not forgetting that subjectively we also value a record for our fondness of it as well!

Hey Mike let's hope the bidders have got their reading glasses on and are not afflicted by a nervous twitch when holding their computer mouse !!

No trick youve missed Mal, its always been an obscure tune thats not really been that much sought after. It had a few plays at Wigan late 70s thru til it closed but it never really became big. Brill tune i used to have in my old collection and after another now! Shame i didnt see yours for sale!

Hi Nigel, Only just seen this message of yours mate sorry for the delay in replying! Got a copy of Fluffy sorted just the Elliot Small needed really, been quoted silly prices for it really. If you are willing to sell that one aside then i'd be interested? Not got the £18000 unfortunately for the whole collection! cheers again ATB foi

I seem to remember a mate years ago having an original mislabelled on Johnny sayles. It's an original if it's got the address at the bottom so yours looks legit. I echo what Kev John says, there are tunes out there that have this characteristics e.g. servicemen - I need a helping hand on the Patheway cartoon man version label. Reckon that it's a pressing plant thing someone on the day got it wrong at the plant due to too much pop the night before....?!

NOW HAVE A COPY SORTED. Looking for a copy of Van Dykes - Save My Love For A Rainy Day...demo if possible as it tends to be the cheaper option! PM with price and condition please. Grading at least VG+ (no cue burn or styrene hiss ones!) cheers.

Hi all I'm after a clean, distortion free copy of Elliot Small - I'm A Devil on the A.B.S. label. Contrary to what some people believe or say there are copies of this tune that play perfectly well without the muffled sound that some copies do happen to have. I used to have one of clean sounding copies but sold it back in the mid 80s (got it on a cassette tape to remind me!) PM with condition and price. cheers

It seems that todays prices of records dont seem to police themselves with common sense anymore, what's thrown the spanner in the works is the word "DEMAND", hence why a once very cheap and NOT rare record like "Salvation" has become insanely overpriced, seems like we might all need a little Salvation literally from this lunacy!

Still looking for an original copy of Ambers, PM me with info if possible. cheers all
