Just got this off the bay for £6.24p :-) very pleased! Includes the brilliant 'Your love can save me'

Mine doesn't have 'MR' on either??

So that would indicate that the lack of 'PB' on these doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a boot? Making it even harder to distinguish the original copies from the legit ones. Just as an update, the auction has ended now with no buyer by the looks.

I have had the same problems, many of the tracks you need to listen to on the bay, you click and nothing happens, so usually have to search for a sound clip elsewhere. What I normally do is just stick a link on to a Youtube link of the same track, or if there isn't one, Soundcloud or self hosting is the answer. Doesn't help the fact that many people are being ripped off for divshare though, not what you'd expect from having to pay £60 for it.

Thanks, as I said I wasn't sure and wanted the enquirer to wait for more info. As they say live and learn! :-) Here's a teaser then. I paid approx' £15 for this on ebay about 3 years ago. It has the matrix number 'PR 256' scratched into the dead wax, but no 'PB' anywhere and no scratched out marks? was I lucky to get an original cheap, or is this a boot?.

Strange that Pete? You are allowed 2 hours of music for free on soundcloud. I have a free account and have had 2 full 1 hour mixes up there. You need to delete stuff to put other stuff up if you have reached your 'allowed' minutes. As suggested, hosting space is a good idea and can be very cheap. I have an account with 'One.com' it costs me approx' £9 per year, and I have had it for 5 years and still haven't used up the allowed space. I don't cane it like, I just put a few tunes and pics on there if I need to.

As far as I know this has never been booted. I have the same copy, but I don't think it's worth as much as that is priced at. I may be wrong though so I would wait for others to answer before you take any intended action. Steve

Ready, Aim, Fire

best thing to do if that's not working is to upload the clip to say Soundcloud?, and paste the link into the ebay listing. It may not show as a player, but it will take potential customers to the sound file.

Might be wrong here, so shoot me if I am , but if the record was recorded at an earlier date than the re-release in 1971, they may have kept the matrix number from the original release for the Mojo release?

OH DEAR!!! That is p*ss funny LOL. I think I paid £12 for mine on a UK demo, Haha!! £150 f**king quid? Got to feel sorry for the idi.... person who's bought it though.

LOL!! Always a great story teller mate :-) Used to have me in stitches. Ian, do you know of, or have the Black Box - Fall into my love record? I thought you may have had it sent back in the day?

Oh sorry Tony, my mistake. Would you agree with guesstimated prices??

Oh he'll be along shortly, don't worry. He senses his name's been mentioned :-) Oh and when he does, ask him about the time he was driving to Cleethorpes and he felt an almighty sneeze coming on??? I won't say anything else, I'll leave it up to Ian to fill in the details :-)

I used to get all the Italian releases of this ilk sent from the record companies when I was a House DJ. Got some brilliant stuff, but not this one unfortunately. It wouldn't at all suprise me that Ian Dewhirst may have a copy??

Hi Mik, a mailer is a proper mailing envelope, it's usually better to use these as they are more secure and less tempting to some dodgy post workers https://www.ebay.co.u...=item43a061c138 There are different sizes for 45s and 12".

That's nice, not seen one before on Jamaican release. Not sure of the price though as it's a bit of an unknown entity. At a guestimate, depending on the condition from say £45 (G) to £130 (Mint). Like I say, just a guestimate though. I take it that the side you have uploaded is the 'B' side as on the UK presses? If it is, what is the 'A' on your copy? be interested to know??

LOL! No Problem :-)

Just this minute posted an LP to the States (from UK) and the price was £7.88 in a mailer with card inserts, sent as 'small packet'. Hope this helps! SL

NP!

Who's Mr Pat??

Just for the record 'Pardon the pun' there was no such group as 'Black Box'. When 'Ride on time' was released on the UK market, the record company got a few peeps together so that they could appear on TOTP. Obviously the record was simply a sample of Loleatta Holloway's' 'Love sensation' with a backing track, and was put together by Italian DJ/Producer 'Daniele Davoli', and the face of the band that was manifested for the record was the French model 'Katrin Quinol' who lip synched the vocals. Recordings by the 'band'? were usually released on 'Groove Groove Melody' in Italy and then were put onto the 'Deconstruction' label for release in the UK. In my opinion (for what it's worth) I think the remake of 'EWF' 'Fantasy' was one of their better ones.

Yeah sorry Pete, on second reading I realised it was. My apologies :-)

I'll play it anyway Dave see what reaction it gets, I'll let you know! And on second thought, it sounds better without the vocal :-)

Heheh!! amazing what a bit of detective work can achieve! Psyche I believe the genre is!
