Record prices no longer reflect rarity in most instances.

You don't need 50 test press's though to check the quality though.

it was in every dealers boxes. Guy got stock of Lorraine Rudolph, it was his cover up. He'd sell one and another would come from under the table.

That is the idea of promos and the right way. I've seen examples of sales with 50 run test press and I've also seen labels advertise the same themselves. I've also seen labels sell plain white labels for a decent mark up before the issue...again it is simply exploiting the scene IMO. Not sure if it is an attempt to give a Johnny come lately Dj some sort of kudos?

Anyone who has been around records, selling, collecting etc knows there is decent quantity of Jack Montgomery. I must have seen a copy for sale from a different seller every week for years. But I think you know that yourself and know what is meant by quite common.

Much of the stock of Shrine 45s were lost in a fire at the distributors during the riots.

Sad news. RIP Chrissie.

Charlie Rich....

My definition? Well the scan was obviously aimed at those with a sense of humour, Pork as in pork sausage As for the term, I've only ever seen in mentioned on line, never heard it in a venue by a Dj or any dealer and personally I couldn't care less.

who said a sweet soul record can't be a banger.....this one has all the ingredients

I keep seeing sales for certain newish releases which advertise a limited press of 30/50 etc white label test pressings? My understanding is test pressing are five or six only so surely these are a run without out any label design to speak off, not test pressings. Just another way to exploit the market IMO.

nope it is free You can go pro which has benefits you don't really need for what you intend to do

Tony Diamond sounds nothing like the other two to my ears.

Pressed somewhere between Oct & Nov 1968, X after delta number denotes the flip.

It's the delta number that will tell you if a boot or not, what is the delta number?

It should have a MR in a circle stamped (Monarch) and have a delta number beginning with 7 I think. Not booted and sells for around 200-250.

Very scarce West Coast white label press of Eddie & Ernie on Eastern. A side "Outcast" B side "I'm Gonna Always Love You". Vinyl is in Excellent condition but it has a hiss for about a second. Labels are very clean, bit of ring wear. Bell Sound stamp (on the flip), Monarch Stamp with Delta number 59358. Price is £40. I'm told by some highly respectable dealers it is worth more on the white label copy and is pretty tough to find. ON HOLD PENDING PAYMENT Eddie & Ernie - Outcast - Eastern.mp3
