September 10, 200519 yr So you missed out on hearing some great records because you didn't like the labels they were on??? link Agree with that Pete.
September 10, 200519 yr i agree we shouldnt start this thread.only because we shouldnt need 2.i was brought up on the scene havn 2 travel 4 over 20years,2 go 2 venues 2 hear the best & original soul records at any given time.cumin fae aberdeen i dont want 2 spend £100+ 2 travel & listen 2 sum twat whos just spent £300 on manship,4 20 boots 2 play his spot.& callin himself a dj(reminds me on sum1 cant think who). wouldnt b so bad.but its records that were made big many times by djs with morals.me im like u RMS small collection,but al original.some known some less know.i try 2 keep it fresh & my own sound.bootleg djs "WHATS THE POINT".
September 10, 200519 yr round and round in circles.... You'll never be able to change most peoples opinions one way or the other. Best plan is to seek out venues which operate an original vinyl only policy and give them your custom. Personally I don't agree with the playing of bootlegs, it's a bit like the British Museum putting up a photocopy of the Mona Lisa

September 10, 200519 yr Ha ha, we really are going to discuss this topic yet again, what a larf. Erm without searching back, wasn't it; serious original label owning collector/dj acceptable and credible at a do? Or reissues opening the door to brother chancer and his wannabe mates
September 10, 200519 yr no not really.... i feel that this undermines the DJs who have spent a whole lot of time and money hunting and breaking these records............. then for someone to play a £5 bootleg... we should at least hold these DJs in some respect.. (EVEN IF SOME ARE DIVS) we can all play boots if we wish to do so..... but if you are asked to dj at a venue, to me that is a reflection on how the promoter sees your taste in music............ i would never play a record that isnt genuine in a set... WHY............. id rather play a bad set than play boots to be honest...... who on earth wants to be know as "OH,,HE PLAYS BOOTS" I THINK IM STARTING TO BECOME A SNOB"
September 10, 200519 yr Taylormade, if the DJ had no qualms in admitting to playing a non-original, why don't you tell us what the venue was? Personally, I just get fed up with all the hinting at stuff on here. So & So did this, played that, just drives me nuts!

September 10, 200519 yr Didn't we decide to shelve this most boring of subjects after agreeing that at large or major venues, it's out of order to play pressings, at small soul nights it makes no difference.
September 10, 200519 yr no..i really dont think thats fair on an open forum..do you ?????????????? i told him my feelings on the subject......... but saying that the venue is always full ................. link Why isn't it fair? People are paying their hard earned to go to the venue, surely they are entitled to know whats being played so they can then decide if they wish to go there or not?
September 10, 200519 yr no..i really dont think thats fair on an open forum..do you ?????????????? i told him my feelings on the subject......... but saying that the venue is always full ................. link 1. No, not really. If they're open with what they play it shouldn't really matter. 2. Fair enough, we all get on with one another, just don't always agree on the same things. 3. Obviously their clientele don't mind the format, so obviously the promoter is giving them what they want.
September 10, 200519 yr we haven't all got big wads of cash to buy original copies, J D Bryant is in my mind a brill track but how many own a Shrine copy?? not many i guess so if someone slaps a piece of plastic with a plain white label on the turntable so what?? too much snobbery me thinks, must admit tho id love to see a real one but at the end of the day its all about the music?? isn't it
September 10, 200519 yr Boots should remain on the feet not the decks. fine for the house but wouldnt play at a venue especially if being a paid guest dj.. IMO the gasher P>S> and Lou Pride ..Im Cummn hame a BOOTLEG COPY was played at Aberdeen by a Guest DJ last weekend after he was distinctly told not to play BOOTS by the promoter IE ME he will no longer be djing for us in the future.
