Best of luck...

with all due respec,and i aint saying that the item you listed aint legit,but i do have to say that there are a LOT of aledged no/jd white labels on Ebay these days,far too many to be honest. in facto theres a guy that constantly lists the true faith wlp even though there are only aledgedly 5-20 ever,even though he has sold 50+ in the last few years.

Also i dont think that warp was around in the early 80's,been going to sheff/devonshire/division street since i was a kid and cannae remember it in the early 80's,i could be wrong tho.

If it is legit then £30 max for a minty mint specimen.

Dont think its gonna make you loadsamoney cos it wont,depends on the dafty that buys it. Just thought i'd tell you like regards

the voice of reason

Thats exactly why I didn't just list it without researching as much as possible both online and through some legwork.

I'd blinkin hate it if I bought this tune in good faith and it wasn't what it said it was.It has been properly examined by the people I mention in the ad. Have written confirmation.

That's the reason I wrote all that explanation in the listing - could have just blagged it but I didn't.

Appreciate the info tho and hopefully you have actually read how I got it.

The provenance all adds up. But there you go ... bid if you'd like it don't if your're a bit suss. But I'm not a liar.

Jill admittedly i read the ebay link and replied whilst pissed so apologies!

Just had a look at some of my white labels and i too have a copy of this,fook knows where i got it i cant remember!

Whe i first started collecting i used to put a piece of paper in with the place i got it from & price etc,this is sadly missing in my copy.

It has exactly the same run out etchings so i can only assume that yours is legit (the same as mine natch).

I dont know what your reserve is but i have seen copies of these go for well over £100,if it was one of the mayking test presses then you would be talking anything up to £300+.

I'd also go with your estimate of up to 30 wlp's when i interviewed hooky in manc recently i asked him about his fabled closet (he has more than 300 acetates testpresses/wlp's) and he did say that he just used to pick quite a few up when they were pressed.

Some of the later releases probably had more than 30.

best of luck with the auction and i hope this helps

Thanks, you know, for even bothering to apologise -the old beer effect - have seen some messy 'day after's so no worries.

Bloody hell that was a bit of luck you having the same vinyl too :) make sure you get some kind of verification though because people can be extremely cynical ;)

You were right about Warp being late 80s, this was when it was a mere twinkle in Rob's eye lol but they were always involved with the Sheffield music thing right from when I first knew them.

I told you that I wasn't a liar, made me feel a bit upset oddly, think it was because I'd tried to be straight up and not over egg it's exclusivity, so you posting again is really appreciated.

Respect Jill x

well... the kfc voucher runs out next week...
