Well "average"maybe, like not a revolution in music. Rather mechanical, basic and straight forward funky thang. I agree. But it's clean, good and has a real drive. I bought mine a while ago. Indeed I don't think to put it on my turntable home too often. Still it sits well in my Kent 45's collection. A bit of a mindless left field stuff. I played it out occasionally as a "filler" in the prime times when not many in the room pay attention to the tunes and it does it's job. Plus the lyric of a malicious "girlfriend partner" in need is maybe not the words everyone wants to hear. All this makes it somehow the "not politically correct" romantic classic never to be. Unless the "Euro" northern scene takes it to another level... unlikely IMHO !

Yep, rather painful as a seller to edit a new entry every time you are trying to sell a record on Discogs with another reference not yet into their index. And once you understand that many sellers just don't bother to put in a new entry (slow and long process) and you're a customer and realize that, you get suspicious as to what exact release the seller really has ! I mean it's not so bad but it's really not that good either. I hate to say but I find from both the seller's as the customer's side that the the eVilBay is much more "bare able". But they are the really "bad guys" I know. That is why now I'm crying my heart out Bouhouhou ! But why ?

I kinda doubt that the beautiful people at Holly Sony would launch their guardian angels on Bob Square attempt to make peanut money to buy food for his starving canary selling a bootleg of the new Paul Anka uncovered northern soul to become... No seriously, if the cuTe working labour class people of the new sOftPornBay of commercialism are onto that as well, the new assigned mission from unHolly God, it's not even for the Beatles, Stones and other poisonous band from Europe (this is not politically prejudiced, I swear ) it's more about a selling market that escaped the main distribution with the rising e-business and that is more impelled to any small profit margin making like selling them bootlegs amongst the rest tall together. All the major retailers are loosing more and more part of the globalized world market even on non-analogic support and format and it is taking Darth Moder down with them in the fall. So God the Court decided to take action and send a nice little message with his best wishes in order to counter that chaos. I'm still not sure if the reissue business of today is much more worthy than those bootlegger's.

The Bell distributed copy pressed on vinyl at Archer (Michigan) in great condition. Copy I got from John Doe's list some 15 years ago or more. Those who knew Dave Whiters and his fuss on condition of records and more so of their groove and play condition, knew that he would only put on his sales list what was NOS and/or Ex+ not to hassle with maniacal customers about critical condition issues. Telling us many road trip tales where he left such or such "drool" record in the shop because of the price also and of a condition issue... Anyway, this copy was played only by me I believe. Likely prior to me, this copy spent most of it's life laying in a cellar forgotten with 'another dirty deal' on top gathering dust that with time became smudge... On the 'there's nothing else to say' side the faint ring wear isn't visible upfront in real life. The scan neon light naturally exhale all the imperfections.

It's not only the northern soul bootleg bits that are cracked down on DishCogs, it's everything. I had an old Beatles USA boot that got withdrawn and if the copy is still featured in their database, quoted as "unofficial", no more copies (while there were more than 15 for sale simultaneously) are presented for sale anymore. I don't mind them cleaning that from their e-store. It's even healthy IMO. Only issue I have with such action, from them especially, is that Discogs is a bit painful both for the sellers as the buyers. Much less friendlier than the eVilBay to put up for sale with accurate picture and correct entry is sometimes a "pain" so most sellers don't bother and use the "reference" picture and sometimes wrong entry to sell a "similar" pressing... So those guys deciding on those bases to withdrawn an entry listed item eligible to be "unofficial" is kind of "edgy" I find.

Indeed, I had to wait sometime to cross along and get my stocker to avoid those totally dull late Kent promos. But I'm not sure that many are as picky as me on such mathers. So it flags the same kind of prices I should believe 20-40 maybe ? Some are asking 75 but I doubt anybody who is a bit "up there" will spend that for this.

Et voilà !

More "together" is like saying more compact, but in real it is actually reduced. I bet you that there is a capacitor in there that has the purpose to reduce the high frequencies after the channel crossings/mixing into one. And this is OK, but one has to know that as well. I use to do all the same when I had that function on my amp. But it always kinda left me unhappy since if I won in less noise distortion, the sound spectrum was also amputate some and the dynamic loss inherent to that as well. These functions, like the MONO selector, on these entry level 6T's and 7T's amp were made to dish out the bad sound less harsh actually. That was a remain from the 5T's and 6T's where the "smooth and warm" sound was the order of the day in home use. Tubes/bulbs amp for phono, radio, TV... until STEREO became the order of the day. The new global industrialized capitalism made us buy more of anything and nothing. MC cartridges was re-classified for phono geeks and MM became John Doe's cartridge. Same for the rest of the phono bits with the printed card board and processors replacing the old tubes/bulbs in the amp and pre-amp. When well done, allows much more clarity and dynamic than ever before. But for the smaller budget, quality was disposable off since the new what was to be had and the old mainly disposable. Bigger margin profit, was the aim. The designers and engineers in their new technologies were inclined to follow their bosses paths. But people were still listening to their older records. Low to medium class STEREO stylus do have the worse tracking in a MONO groove and so the stylus and cartridge reading of a MONO record induce a lot of inner groove distortion and picks up all the undesired noise that a MONO cartridge would bare with much better resilience. No offense but this "MONO" function on your amp is not really MONO. It is only STEREO converted in a monofied STEREO with a high frequency capacitor reducer to muffle the sound and render a less harsh sound coming from a wrong stylus and cartridge read. One can very easily get use to that sound with comfort. Some are still favoring the vintage tubes/bulbs warm & round sound. They work a bit the same as your "MONO" button in the way that it is actually a "colored" and "textured" sound. The sound spectrum there is "naturally" kind of "amputated". High frequencies are always at a loss and the dynamic pays for it. I use to be of that warm & round school. Not anymore. I much prefer to get a clear, neutral and dynamic sound out of a mix of both the old and the new phono gear that can allow the wider sound spectrum to be dished out. There's a lot of coherent configurations that are to be taken into account when coupling each composant of a phono set-up/chain and there's always the good and misfortunes in such a quest adventure. But once you have something allowing clean and "airy" high frequencies to pass through, the vocals come upfront and we listen to SOUL music, don't we ! In the phono equipment there's good, bad and better here, now, then and there. Honestly, I do sell records home to friends, and allow them to bring them back if they don't want them anymore after a while. One once brought back 5 singles back. I browsed through them and pulled out 4 to advise him not to return these 4 to me as he should regret them later. Instantly he replayed them on my system and went WOW ! They don't sound the same home. He just returned me the one 45 that was not so good even on my phono set-up. That is how important a right, composed accordingly, good or better phono set-up is. It's half of the music from the records we listen to. Ady Croasdale once inquired on here if anyone had a good playing copy of a record as all that he had to this day had issues. Indeed I remembered that my copy of the record use to have some inner groove distortions on my previous "Y2K" phono set-up. Dug out my copy play and recorded an mp3 of it on my now phono set-up and send it to him. He went WOW ! I had to send him a heavier WAV format to him after that for his purposes...

MONO read is not the same as MONO playback. MONO read to explain in simple words is a horizontal pick-up read of the stylus in the groove. STEREO is a vertical read ! Now they make some MONO cartridge (what I have) that can also play decently STEREO records without damaging them groove. A stylus reading vertically in a horizontal meant to be read groove can not be right. This is crucial as the vertical read (STEREO) of a stylus in a MONO groove will pick-up a lot of undesirable noise and sound distortion no matter what. We all know what I'm talking about here. Do we ? OK ! Where the MONO playback push button is only a cross/mixing of both channels into one channel within the amplifier and is de-coupled at the speakers outputs to dish the same in both speakers. The undesired noises and distortions are only mixed with both channels. So yes, I've been using a MONO cartridge for more than 5 years now and wouldn't go back to anything else. I don't want to sound geek, but many a thing are crucial in the phono thing like some critical notions to have in order to "assemble" the coherent phono set-up that will actually suits your records, earbuds and budget. We search, buy and collect old records, mainly 45's of which most are MONO. We acknowledge that they are not the best mastered product at all times nor are they often carefully pressed for Hi-Fi play-time. Let's not forget the fact that they often had a life prior and do show that through the speakers. So why still play our favorite, most valuable money wise and/or leisure wise sounds on unfitted phono systems ? It does come to a cost but it's a thrill to play my records like I never heard them before. Now my phono is rather peculiar but there are easier and/or "cheaper" MM (moving magnet) MONO cartridges ou there (used by some DJ's I've read) that could be fit on turntable like the SL-1200 and alike with maybe a minimum of adjustments to the tonearm to be done. On my tonearm hangs a MC (moving coil) cartridge vintage style, a Denon DL-102, that required me to DIY few mods on my tonearm to perform at it's best. But there are "easier" options out there like the Ortofon 2M (not cheap but great reviews) or both from Audio Technica with the VM610 MONO (cheap and easy) or the AT MONO3/LP (looks even better but change of stylus is more complicated). Now only a MONO cartridge won't on it's own be able to bring the best of your MONO records, but it's a crucial point in the chain as it does the read of the groove and the first justice one could do to their MONO records is to give them a MONO read ! And believe me there's no universal phono set-up no matter it's Hi-Fi merits and high end price. Type of record differs just as music genres and they generally require rather different phono build-ups. Misconception as a general belief is that a good system is expensive anyway. Yes, but not like to be good it has to be expensive. Then if it's expensive, it's good. No-no, I've witnessed once a marvelous all revised vintage high end phono set-up playing wonderfully Jazz albums but it was just unable to play reasonably well, like really not good, any soul 45's.

This seems a bit on the "high end" next to other auctions lately on the eVilBay. But that might come in the matter (or not) since it's the even rarer stock copy. Mint copies or close to fetch more than the books for the hard-core rich collectors who don't play their records. I wouldn't mind it being actually a £1000+ record (instant value increase on my collection) only I doubt that. JM could maybe suck-up that if he offered one.

Morris Chestnut on lead here on this happy easy summery slab of soul with a family tale. My old copy that plays much stronger than it looks.

I've corrected from £400 to £600+ indeed. I still had an "old" figure imprint in ze brain.

Only one number 5020 the other thing was a made up "urban legend"... £600-ish and more ?

Fair price for a clean-clean copy. PM him that though...

I was thinking more in the 500-600 region and that is still realistic. eVilBay's auction can be hectic but only a few times. Most of the colored vinyl copies there when clean sold for that kind/equivalent (counting the years) of money.

Known but not regarded as it should IMHO, this wonderful atmospheric slab of soul deserves a new home where it will be rightfully cherished. Spare copy from the box this is. Flip it for a "classic" feel good song à la singalong tune. Bought as NOS it still holds all his Ex+ attribute. £35 free P&P all over the world.

All good there. Clean and all. Fell glad and drop the suspicion.

Exactly. It's not only a matter of pressing plant with "left over" stock of previous logo pre-printed labels. Even if it must have been often the case. With this rarer later pressing of the Tempts it is definitely due to a "revival attempt" of the song somehow. I doubt because of a 'Beach Music/oldies' massive (could that ever be ???) sudden demand in the USA... Or another theory with the late November or December 1967 of the TMG issue in the UK doing a loop the other way around across the Atlanic hoping to cash on it better than the first time... But there where other more common continuous re-releases for the "big hits" almost already considered "evergreen" in the mold a year after their original release as aforementioned. Then likely the odd last batch of "old" labels not to be wasted at the same pressing plant for the same release during the logo switch... Some Motown & Co. albums have the same with the new logo on the sleeve and the old logo on the label...

All good. At least 2 pressing plants involved and reruns of pressings with label variations to accommodate a continuous demand like the first example below from the same pressing plant as your yellow one that also had white (demo?) variation... Then the second one here with another catalogue number and flip side as well...
