Yeah Dave got my first issue of JA at soul bowl £3-50 now long gone but I got another a few years ago for $120 from Frank Merrill I have an autographed 'Hurt by Love' and a 'Love Lets Try It Again in' Wheelsville (great double sider)

That was it Arthur, Mick Smith had some of the collection, Rob Thomas had a few as well. At the time I bought Honey & the Bees - Dynamite Exploded and Sonny Herman - Utopia from Mick. I saw the stuff Rob had a couple of weeks later at Derek Allen's soul nite in Hinckley, Rob had some top oldies in the box for sale including the Larry Clinton issue.

I know the guy that bought this off John, he lives locally in my area. He has a very enterprising entertainments business so maybe he has cash problems with one of his latest projects. He's a bit of an ellusive character, he sometimes turns up at local events I am DJ'ing at for the odd hour and then dissapears again for a few months. I think he's bought other rare classics things from Johnny in the past but keeps his vynil addiction fairly quiet. Another clandestine collector methinks....

No Steve, this copy is in better condition. The one Rob had came from a collection belonging to somebody who's business went tits up. I actually ended up with two or three records from the same persons collection........can't remember the guy's name now ?

It's NOT A RE-ISSUE it's an out and out way of making as much money as possible by SCANNING labels from the original and sticking them on a cheap pressing knowing that there are some sad F**KERS out there who will buy this crap in a vain attempt to look like a DJ with a reasonable play box. Whilst there are sad F**KERS about, and it seems there are a few, then there will be a market for people like this ebay seller with NO CONSCIENCE to continue offloading FAKE records. (If this seller lived in my area he woul'nt be welcome at any soul do's I attend and would have the finger pointed at him) The two parties above are as bad as each other, both to blame for this recent blot on our soul scene. What I am most concerned about however is these FAKE records getting into circulation by being offloaded by the sad F**KERS after they are bored with em' and they move on to the next batch of FAKES. There will be unfortunately some soft touch out there who will end up with FAKE records having paid for an original I bet.

Great other side to Deletts - What's the Use..........Similar backing to the good and rare Gerri Shivers - Let's Try It Again - Pat

Notice Mike VALVANO misspelt on UK release...... Was UK release produced from a badly hand written acetate ?

That'll be Elf or PAMA (UK)

OH DEAR HERE WE GO AGAIN !!!!! WHATS WRONG WITH THESE IDIOTS Dont they know that a fairmount demo of this is red, white and blue with D J COPY NOT FOR SALE on it !!!!! And originals I think are MATRIX STAMPED WITH a FRANKFORD WAYNE mark on them

Barbara Pennington - 24 hours a day........

Bill Withers Darrow fletcher Bunny Sigler

What's the velours on label wise ?

Seems like some saddo's are bidding on this again coming up to the end. Its so obviously different from a real one surely these bidders dont really believe that they can get away with passing this off as a real one if DJ'ing with it ? The guy selling it also ought to be ashamed, by now he must know it's not a real one and should have withdrawn it and relisted it with the proper description, not his 'airy fairy wafflings' when he first put it up.

Great night !!! Loved every minute, top quality tunes ALL night, Maz and myself will definately be back again soon. The journey up the A1 was easy, and cos the event finishes pretty early at 12-30 pm coming home afterwards is'nt a big deal, some of you guys out there DJ's/ Collectors simply HAVE to make the trip up - the sooner the better. Thanks to Paul, Ian, Kev and Paul and all the soulies who were there on the night ..... You really made us feel welcome, big thanks from MAZ & HAMMIE

Good price for someone on the MIKKI FARROW Ted Be a lot more on a dealer website methinks

If you go into sales but be quick.... I think Pete Smith is listing one for sale. good luck

Yeah but that's only the start of it !!!!!!

Yeah, does'nt time fly when your collecting records.......especially the price of some of 'em Here's a tip for one I know will soon be silly money...... Billy Sharae - Im Gone - purple spectrum, well it will when JM auctions a 'minter'

Especially when you consider that a rare white promo of this was going for around that amount not to long ago.....

4 on ebay at present, one of which is on auction and at a low price at moment - being auctioned by 'Kidinquisitive'

Hi mate, I would have thought around £750/£800 mark for a clean one.......great double sider

BLOODY HELL !!!!!! iVE GOT 3 OF THESE JUST LYING AROUND......ALL ABOUT THE SAME NICK AS THE TOP ONE

Yes, that is the one that he sold to Tim Brown

About £150 ish I think mate, also not sure but seem tothink there is possibly two different mixes. Will check my copy out with time and matrix numbers for your info

HA HA was this pun intended
