hipshaker 05 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 With all this debate about reisssues and bootlegs v originals going on I thought it might be an idea to see what labels people like. I'm quite partial to BOOT myself ........... with the fantastic hand drawn boot of course Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jazzyjas Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 C'mon now. Ace/Kent - no question. The real deal. Most everything up there is crap. Funniest name on a bootleg label is McKinley Mitchell on the MEMORY PAIN label. KTF Jas Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Funniest name on a bootleg label is McKinley Mitchell on the MEMORY PAIN label. KTF Jas link Jas, one of your very few misinformed postings. OOTP released some of the best records ever played on the scene, from Jerry Williams to Chubby Checker. Around 50 releases and maybe only 5 or 6 duff ones among them. Patti Young, Invitations, Rufus Lumley, Lynne Randell, Rat Race, Ben Aiken, well basically the entire Torch playlist. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Think they did a cover (live, don't know if it came out) of the Isley's Harvest for the world. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Quite observant!!! Remembered the week break between the 2 Linda & the Funky Boys shows cos I blew all my dosh on records at Wigan so had to thumb it over the Pennines to get home. It was freezing & didn't get back 'till late afternoon, my mum & dad went ballistic. One of the tunes was Earl Grant's Hide nor Hare which allways reminds me of the night in question, had it stolen off me a few years back & was gutted, not because I'd lost it but 'cos of the story that went with it.
