Apart from the copies Soul Bowl had Global sold 600 copies of Keep On Running Away and 400 of Smoke Screen. I ordered these from a place in New Jersey that use to get indie label records for us. These were all on the coloured label version, I never ordered any more copies so never had the plain label Bits and Pieces.

Packed with the records was a fairly thick catalogue of all the other records available from Nashboro. There was a lot of Gospel and Blues LPs as well as the Soul releases from the last few years. I think they also had a golden oldie singles listing. It was fairly clear that they put a lot of emphasis on promoting their back catalogue so probably were quite willing to press up anything a customer wanted. I can't be sure but it seems likely that a re-press would be done on the plain label used for oldies.

As to the price today I suppose it's all down to demand but £150 for a record that must have been around in the thousands seems crazy, but what do I know. There must be loads of similar records from the same era that are just as good but go for a tenner.

I can verify this (not that I need to, Rick worked there so he should know) as a customer of Global at the time I ordered, probably  a 25 count box of these and they were the coloured label. I remember they sold reasonably quickly and tried to re order, however Global had sold out. I seem to recall having to wait around 6 weeks to get more, I thought that these also came from Global but Ricks post implies that this couldn't have been the case, anyhow, wherever they came from, these copies were on the plain label.

Because of the time scale between the two variants appearing on the market it seems reasonable, and not at all unusual that two pressing runs were done , the second run is in my opinion is definitely legit, done to satisfy demand. I also seem to recall (again after 40years I may be wrong) that they came in Nasco company sleeves which would make the bootleg theory highly improbable.

Two label imprints ? again not all unusual, many mainstream pop chart records at this time would have a variety of label designs.

Today the price differential of approx £100 between the two is imo impossible to justify, I think we will just have to accept its one of the many strange things that occur in the name of collecting (records being only one example)

I've been following this thread for a couple of days and I am seriously puzzled why it has gone on so long. 

Value for money in the entertainment industry is and always will be subjective. The general rule that "you get what you pay for" only applies when you purchase tangible objects like cars, furniture, clothes, food, etc and even here their is an element of subjectivity.

 The previous comments that, free entry or £3 events are crap, but if you pay £15 they are going to be a great, is completely unfounded and has no relevance to value.

In my opinion "Horse and Groom" Doncaster free admit = great value, "Kings Hall" Stoke £15 ? = poor value , wear as, Prestatyn Weekender total average cost  £300 (inc food acomm, fuel etc) is poor value, but the Bamberg Weekender @ £600 is great value.

Now before you all jump to your key boards to slag me off please read the first three words of the sentence again, I'm not necessarily right, I'm sure that a lot of folks would have a completely opposite opinion, whilst for others the afore mentioned are neither both great nor poor examples of value for money.

The costs and calculated risk of putting on the big events by professional promoters are enormous and they are entitled to make as big a profit as the market can sustain, however, events organized by promoters where the driving force is, a passion and love of the music rather than profit are imo more enjoyable to attend and are more likely to represent better value.

Ultimately the commercial success or failure of most things in life is determined by placing the right product in the right marketplace and pricing it accordingly.

Written by Kris Kristofferson, this one sums up Johnny Cash perfectly for me as the voice of the............bum! hobo! drunk! waster! .....or put another way .......some ones son, daughter, mother, father or just another human being who happens to be down on their luck, and who but for the grace of god might be me or you ...............for me its got "Soul" by the bucket load

Hi John, the video has the wrong label. The sound is actually the issue and not the promo. Thanks for highlighting

Apologies sir you are correct , their is a demo clip on YT with the correct label scan which is what  I which I wrongly chose to assume the clip to be. I should have checked then I wouldn't have made an ASS out of U  & ME

JF

I think that you should make potential buyers aware that the sound clip is the from the promo, which is not the same as the issue that you have for sale.
