Just a heads up, think it's only fair, forewarned is forearmed 'n' all that There's a seller on Discogs selling the carvers with the scanned labels, and listing them as 'unofficial releases' I ordered one and cancelled as soon as I read the release notes that state 'Bootleg' 'Scanned labels'. Not that many folk would know to do this. Fair dinkum the seller did refund me in full, but they shouldn't be up for sale anyway is the way I see it. The Pox is spreading from eBay into other sites. Seller name?? PM me, I'm not that much of a twat.

Do we 1000% know that the 7" was a boot? It was never released on a single yes, but was an album track on 2 albums. Anyway this is the reply that I have put on Discogs. Let me know what you think (I'm sure you will) :-) " Not necessarily unofficial. If the guy or his family are still alive, and decided to put out the single, that they own copyright for, that makes it official. Also look at the label name and the name of the album? 'LEE'WAY'? as in 'Lee' as in his name Pervis Lee. No one really knows by the looks of things, but I have seen many releases like this where the actual artist or Kin, has decided to release a track or an album themselves and using their own name or similar, for the Label. I will understand if you know the artist or his family and they have told you that it is Definitely unofficial, but without that it's all guess work. Another couple of points. Look at the money that the 'Leeway' album is going for on the same label? hardly likely to be a boot for that money. And the original album that the track appeared on in 1970 'Himself'? No label??? HIGHLY likely that that was 'HIimself' that released it on a limited Promo press just to raise some cash maybe or to get his name out there. Stuff happens"

Many of the pictured boots were the recent ones too, and even the Robert Thomas was a boot. so 4K for 300 records equals out at an average of about £13.50 each, when many can still be purchased at about £8? doesn't make much sense to me.

Was I dreaming earlier on tonight, or did I see a box of 300 bootlegs and cheapies sell on eBay for over 4K? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282297812450?

yes, tried to clean an original 7" acetate of Jocelyn Brown - Somebody else's guy with Isopropyl. Don't do it! :-(

All the best everyone, have a great time and thank you for your support.

It looks like he may be using the Global Shipping Program, which costs less, but takes longer

It does sound very Winstanley

YES!!!! Thank you so much Ian - Top man

I know it's not much to go on, but a tune just went through my head that I am sure was a Wigan Biggie, but can't remember what it is? It has the lyrics 'I got a whole lot of happiness happening in my heart', think it's called 'Happiness Happening'?? and was either a female vocal or a male with a high voice? It's not the Charades btw. Any help please?

Another plank, isn't this a boot? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Al-Kent-The-way-you-been-acting-lately-and-instrumental-/252689045326?hash=item3ad570d74e:g:Eq4AAOSwo4pYWAj8

This seller has now added 'No Returns', and says that they found them in the loft and they had been there for over 30 years, how would they know that if they had just moved into the property, and just found them?? STINKS!!!!! Also they have managed to grade the records, although they claim "I am no record expert" STINKS EVEN MORE!!!!

Yep, and to be brutally honest, not her fault either, because although she hasn't put it's a boot, she also hasn't put it's an original either, so it's the usual case of buyer beware and do some research before bidding stupid money

Written to the seller asking wouldn't it be fair to to mention in the description that it's a boot worth no more than £40 :-) See what the reply is :-)

Yeah! That old chestnut. Y'know? there are some REALLY gullible people about. I feel sorry in a way that the winner is gonna pay over £400 for a £30-40 boot, but on the other hand, it's only a quick search on Google to tell you what is and what isn't.

Now this is just getting very silly. Flirtations - Stronger than her love Festival Boot? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182372300845

LOL, yeah our future Soul family will still be looking at that for sale in 50 years LOL. There really are some muppets about. Saw someone selling a copy of 'Billy Sha Rae - Do it' on Spectrum the other day for £250?? WHAT?? was tempted to write to the seller asking if it was a solid gold disc, or if he actually came from the planet Zog. Oh and it didn't have 'I'm gone' on the flip either before you ask.

Well just in case it does go rare or sell for silly prices like that again, I have just bought 2 minters for £30 LOL, Can't be too careful :-)

Yes Russoul1, you're missing the Spaceship to get to the other planet that these people come from that pay over £300 for a record that can be easily acquired for £4. Mentalists!!!
