When LPs were the primary medium for the commercial distribution of sound recordings, manufacturers would cut the corner, punch a hole, or add a notch to the spine of the jacket of unsold records returned from retailers; these "cut-outs" might then be re-sold to record retailers or other sales outlets for sale at a discounted price. 45 RPM singles records were usually drilled with a hole through the label, or stamped "C.O.". A special section of a record store devoted to such items was known as the cut-out bin or bargain bin.

There's a Belgian pressing of "Self defense" for their Popcorn scene.

SS ain't like it woz...................... There are some legit labels with some Spellbinders stuff, plus a few more less than legal. Couldn't find anything on the net so I'm guessing some sort of boot. Strange because "For you" is hardly rare.

Can anyone tell me if this is a pukka release ? Are there others ? Many thanks

Dirge that too............................

I think you're right, for sure on UK Ebay, what a shambles......................

There appears to be a significant change in people selling repros/boots/re-issues, etc. Some now don't even say when it's a repro, it's just listed as a NS record for sale. Seeing those Younghearts going now for £120+people must be bonkers to pay that sort of money for a boot. Where will it all end ?

I paid less for some originals last year

True enough quite a tricky one, for some reason most of her PI releases didn't seem to make it past demo and with this on the B isde you need to find an issue, good luck.

Only one that counts, the 7" version.

Well, good luck in your search, please post when you've found one and what you paid, I'm sure you'll find one for about £20/25.00 it's not one of the "must haves" doing the rounds.

There are some for sale on Discogs starting at a fiver a go.

You should find one at about £20/25.00 depending on condition. There are 2 different labels, the one above and a purple one. God luck.

I used to have that LP

"Investigate" signed by Major Lance at the Torch in 1972

For heaven's sake.......................... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292033079415?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Seller described it as VG- but it looked fabulous condition. A EX+ went for £450.00 and another EX for £400.00 but having said that the way Ebay going right now who the freck knows ?

If £400 - 500 will break your bank account there's a legitimate UK issue (from the 70s ?) on MCA that'll cost you about £25 - 30.00 and a 1970s re-issue/boot done by our old friends in LA, Monarch, they also go for about £30/40.00.

Guess in today's market about £400.00 maybe a bit more.

I had one of these and compared it with an original, I'm sure it's a boot or at least some sort of re-issue

What's the sellers ID ?

I see he's already sold one, also seems to have sold a bunch of Bobby Reed on Bell, gets almost 100% positive feedback.

Ask him what he's actually selling ?

Am I missing something ? A price (and condition) ?
