Had a play and you're spot on , the M jumps right out and the typeface is crispy ...

Obvious grey area I admit , personally speaking setting the time/date is the first thing I do when setting up a new camera body .

The original post on the subject was 28th May 2015 . The datestamp on the accompanying photo details show that it was taken over two years earlier .... ?

And on the original images posted on page 1 the labels are clearly lifting and bubbled.

And the typeface is subtly different too up close , no nice crisp corners as I'd expect to see on an "old'un" ... ! Hope he didn't pay too much for it ...

Just pulled the larger image of Ian's off his FB page , can see no obvious evidence of the underlying stamp on it ...

Need a better quality image , can't enlarge a small JPEG like that without it getting too 'blocky' to see clearly.

It seems to be on the 1st Harry Moon image too , harder to see on the other images but I'll try a little tweaking ...

Hi Chalky , All three of those scans you just posted appear to have the underlying MIS CO stamp , as per the Ra-Sel Magnetics ... have highlighted them here ...

It would be great to see these old magazines scanned and added to an archive somewhere here on Soul Source for all to read ...

"Swirls" , "sheen" and "ill-defined lettering print"

A pretty modest little thing wasn't he , with a little more pocket money than most I guess ...

It was an e-mail to the admin team .

Problem is that probably 60% of the crap for sale on ebay is trashy chinese counterfeit , but obviously not advertised as such ... the price is usually the big giveaway ... there's so much money to be made from these items that ebay aren't interested in policing such a vast 'industry of tat'.

Nah , not my cup of tea , like me drizzle too much ...

To be fair it's on UK too .

Bargain ... https://www.ebay.es/itm/Rare-Nothern-Soul-Wade-Flemmons-JEANETTE-/182001648089?hash=item2a6024c1d9:g:beQAAOSwUV9WpO~E

List's already been posted.

No-one's accusing you of making or selling the boots Pete , all folk would like is a list of the titles and if possible a scan of the labels for future reference. You know as well as I do that at some point these are going to appear for sale , not from you but from someone somewhere for whatever reason . Surely it can only benefit the majority of us poor uninformed souls to have the details on record so's to speak to help prevent future scams ... ?

So is it fair to assume that the bootlegs are coming from Ian Levine then ... ? ... these things being so exclusive but he can dole out 14 just like that ... !

That'd be where ya went wrong then ...

Depends on who's opinion of Ian Levine you take ...

Sorry for coming across a bit harsh ... Maybe a little more research before spunking a grand next time ... Soul Source is a mine of information that would have put you on the right course with this ... have a look on e-bay and find 1000 decent soul records for a quid each , even a fiver each ... this is 2016 not 1976 ... !

Not really , you get what you pay for in this 'ere life ... vinyl included ... if he was gullible enough to fall for the spiel ...

So you buy 1000 45's for £1000 and are disappointed when you don't receive £10-£50,000's worth of vinyl but get instead a big box full of £1 records ... Guess you're still waiting for that nice Nigerian man to send you that £10,000,000 he promised ... I assume you're the type of fella that likes making love with the curtains open ... would help explain how someone saw you coming ...
