LEE MEZA-ONE GOOD THING LEADS TO ANOTHER/IF IT HAPPENS-STATESIDE SS 589

The label looks genuine-ask the seller if it`s styrene or vinyl (Thanks for adding that point John) and ask him what`s in the runout groove.

OKEH original issues always have a large 45 on the left hand side of the label with white OKEH logo at the top. The issues with small 45`s on the left hand side are genuine legal Columbia reissues though. Originals are stamped with ZSP in the dead wax (runout groove). Reissued for the second time again by Columbia in the late seventies with black lettering and ZSP 113544 in the runout.

I fully agree, John. If you had the original and the counterfeit side by side (even to an untrained eye) the difference is obvious. But not so obvious if you`ve never seen an original. Keep up the good work with the guides. Fascinating stuff.

No you`re not..I am. But it`s true what you`re saying. If the price seems too good to be true, it is. But you do get the odd bargain. Especially from the (temporarily strapped for cash) soulies who tend to come in with their fifty boxes. They need a quick sale.

Because I can`t get the people on the dancefloor in the first place!!

I dunno what you mean guys..I`ve never cleared the floor..

We heard this horrible news the other night-we couldn`t quite believe our ears. Please accept our heartfelt condolences, Adrian. Stuart and Cathryn (And Keith) The Barrow Hill Soul Club

Shaft In Africa? That`ll be "ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH" by the Four Tops on british ABC. Think I still have a copy in one of my boxes.

Thanks John..maybe somebody should start a separate thread to take the p*ss out of how old I am!

They told us it had ended when certain venues closed in the eighties..and they stopped putting Wayne Gibson on Top Of The Pops (Oooo! Anyone else still remember that it was sooo embarrassing!!) -but we`re STILL here!
