Beautiful pretty much MINT copy (M-) of this all time great Bottom & Co - Gonna Find A True Love M- £500

Yeah - California Soul - good version

I have the first release Marlena Shaw - Looking Thru The Eyes Of Love on Cadet 5618 with ‘anyone can move a mountain’ on the flip. M- let me know

Hi Ady i dug out the Cookie Scott - it’s in nice VG+ condition with light surface marks I’ve played it on headphones today just to be sure and it plays EX. Labels totally clean. I just saw a VG+ copy sell on eBay for £500 three weeks ago so I’d be looking for £450

That is good news. I bought it probably 35 years ago as an original and was just thumbing through the boxes and I was wondering

Yes it’s that time old question. Do I have an original or not. Discogs states:- Original stock and Promo copies also have a raised 3-digit 'hallmark' under both A & B labels. On some Promo copies they are situated: A - below the G in SANDBAG B - bridging the A and N in SANDBAG. On some copies they are aligned differently and sometimes only on one side. The 1970's bootleg with identical copied labels has a pronounced concave centre and a 9.5mm run-out groove as opposed to 8mm on this original. My copy has a very slight raised number under the label on the ‘Where Were You’ side - see close up on first picture and it IS under the ‘G’ in SANDBAG. I can’t find it in the YDLM side but it so feint on the other side it might be not visible I can’t compare the runout measurements as described above as my label is slightly off centre. My copy also has a slight ridge in the label but so does the picture that appears on Discogs. So what do I have???

I have a copy here. PM me and I’ll confirm grade and have a look at current price
