Zig zag paper company- just as long as you hold out.
And that one was a hard one to sell before IL hype. It was a sales box dust gatherer like the Beans on Swan...

Full Speed on Real Thing re-issued or booted Q?
Me too LUV it ! It was played to me a first time some 2 years ago... Instantly I got me a copy. That is why this kills me. If they'd ask me they could repress Paul Anka and any such as much as they want, I wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. But this ghetto street level passionate soulful little gem is too sacred IMH.

Full Speed on Real Thing re-issued or booted Q?
Goed morgen Mijnheer, as to "why" was this bootlegged/reissued I'm afraid just becomes obsolete after a "breKsit" and/or a "Trump" elected in these "day and age", it only could turn out to be a long story we'd rather keep short. Even more since anything and everything can "GO !" If the tune 'it must be love' by the Full Speed would be rare, it would simply be rave about... only the funkster flip got some T-Jays action I'm afraid. Awaiting a backlash...

Full Speed on Real Thing re-issued or booted Q?
The typo don't look right and definitely not late 6T4s or early 7T's. They never showed up before and have come in the "spotlight" only the last years or so. Plus all are mint and on sale from some sellers here and there only. From the scans I've seen, they seem to have those "shiny rings" like all those look-a-like boot made for "private" purpose. Not implying it's a boot, could be a reissue but also could be from the same pressing plant...

Full Speed on Real Thing re-issued or booted Q?
Never saw these vinyl copies before and they don't look right. Does anybody knows more ? Some are selling them as original copies...

Charlotte Stokes - is this a 'real' record?
more or less £50 apparently !

Charlotte Stokes - is this a 'real' record?
OK and thanks for clarifying. I believe you but I'd guess it's more a demo cut then (before a chosen artist tries it for size). Not a cut planned for issue. The copy I had was given to me 30 years ago. It was part of a "give away lot" from a mod collection to a young soul beginner when 'northern soul' was out on the Brussel mod front in the mid eighties...

VALERIE SIMPSON RECORD - Knowledge required
It's true that Ed Robinson is great and an old, long favorite of mine also. While this "pop" version of Valerie is rather ridiculous on it's own. Still the original quest is legit IMO and even though the fast answers brought the said record to where it belongs; in the bootleg category, now all is said and heard about it I believe.

Charlotte Stokes - is this a 'real' record?
Even if I could also imagine being a "vault" find, I always thought it to be a "made for the northern" market kind of record. The singing is quite amateurish and the vocal composition more like humming along the music... where the Flirtations RULE ! Belgium pressing !? Why ? It doesn't look at all like a Belgium, Holland or even French pressing thing. Seems more to come from the same batch/pressing plant as the Lillie Bryant and such ugly bootlegs...

Is the 12" you refer to the 5 track 33rpm sleeveless credited to Eddie Owens ? If so, "shake off that dream" is instrumental there !

Eddie Billups Shorty Billups
4 issues for this. The first one from 1973 with the "rawer" mix on local Helpp and then for national distribution on Seventy 7 and in 1977 with the funky slapping bass both on Solid Gold (own owned label I understand) and then on Gar-Pax for national distribution. Name changes of the guy from Shorty, Eddie BILLIPS, BILLUPS or Eddie OWENS...

Bobby Freeman RIP
On the other side of "deeper" soul the show, Bobby showed his talent as he could be "versatile" in genres of music and not losing the soul touch...

Eddie Parker Awake How Many Copies
I do get your point here Dave. But Sam Fletcher 'I'd think it over' is soulful as it get. Now if they are not to appreciate those big strings production is another matter. And indeed, a lot of northern soul played and still playing are not soulful. And a lot were and still are. I do have a problem with my records not being soulful. Well even if I have to admit that like many I do have my "guilty secrets" records gathered on the "dark-er side" of record collecting/discovering/crate digging. So I like Lou Johnson but I understand one would not like him. Roy Hamilton is not my cup of tea so... But that Sam Fletcher can be called "overplayed/heard" or not to one's taste, but not Soulful; not IMHO !

Silky Hargraves - Keep Loving You
Well I do understand that some prefer to collect issues in some or all case. Especially if you want your records label collection ordered in color harmony. Still with this Silky on Dearborn, that alone can't justify such price difference from simple to double IMHO. When you come to fan's records (Beatles & Co.), that works. But here it's not a label variation with a story behind to justify such gap in prices between the 2 pressings. I do love Silky 3 records and still am yet to see a fan who collects everything to do with the man/the artist here to crash simple to double on a 3 digits price tag for a label variation from a label that nobody that I know collect. I thought it was rather a record that has a lot of appeal to command it's high price. With the better the condition factor the higher the price. Too many worn copies floating around DO justify from simple to double or triple the price for the cleaner copies. And indeed in some situation some pressings demo or issues are truly rarer one way or the other. This one not I find. Myth remain from the pre-tinternt days were prices by the book made collectors overpay some records regarded as "holy grails". Now with online and open auctions, many if not most records do get a more likely realistic "street value" accordingly. Now a mint stocker of this 45 is indeed rarer than a mint demo. On that I agree and for a hard-core collector who wants to own and never take it out of it's sleeve, £1000+ for a super clean stocker can be regarded as a worthy investment indeed. The promo in similar condition nowadays easily fetches £750 and more... But stocker vg- to demo vg- sell for the same money and there seem to be more vg- issue copies than demos floating around we've now learned.

RIP David Axelrod...
Humble and perfectionist he could/would travel through musical genres without any inconvenience. So was his imprint. This one always got me hooked. RIP David.

Charles Diamond & Inspirations
Hi Patto, I don't agree with the idea of a "main" opinion here. It's a later and properly re-sung version to finally grace this masterpiece of music. If the "main" opinion think different, well be it. For exactly the same reasons; the Natural Four 'I thought you were mine' on ABC being a far bettered tighten version re-recorded a year or two after it was first released Boola-Boola couldn't be played out ??? One would have to be dissatisfied with a rarer and less good record. That'd be sad I find.

Bobby Freeman RIP
Long time ago, in the days when I was still buying records I've never heard of before, I bought cheap that 45 on Loma by that dude. I loved instantly on first hearing both 'I've got a good thing' but I 'lies' remained my favorite side. To this day it still works the same for me. Drama soulfulness slice of life at it's best. Thanks Bobby and farewell.

Charles Diamond & Inspirations
Marvin Gaye 'this old...' was not released due to a demand in the UK. It was a Motown promotional product for the members or sumthin' like da'. And Charles Diamond & the Inspirations take later release is way better than the illusive insanely rare originally first issued version (only as single sided promos), so I play my "pink" copy home and out without any shame, guilt or scare !

Stevie Wonder - Love A Go Go
Know it for a long time. Now I own it on the French EP and play it out from time to time. Think it had better exposure on the mod scene... in Brussels at least...

The Vals
Yes 'stepping out with my memory' B/W 'it's too late'. What a fantastic 2 sider. Now if the commercial issues stockers went to home buyers, many must have find their way in the 'lost zone' after being handled un-carefully and become an out of date dust gatherer. So likely the stockers surfacing today are fewer as pasts eVil Bay show. Still doubt the stocker should order bigger money IMO.
