If I remember rightly , am sure there was a topic about these Capitol 'boots' stating they used the SAME paper 'type' as the originals for the label --making it even more difficult to spot at first glance

Pretty much nailed it there...a simple answer to the the question really.... no need imo to disect any further . As for 'big tunes of the day'...well that's subjective and personal I reckon ..and thats never changed over time has it ?

Again good luck with the project....if current technology allows it would be nice to know that it wouldn't rip expensive records to threads.....the 60/70's version was notoroius for damaging the records...

As I remember they were all had logo of a Torch.....I also remember other promotional flyers that were 'gold' .....or that may be the newer membership cards...memory fails :-)

i suspect this was the early promotional efforts for International Soul Club and its Top Rank events.......clenched fist and all... here is ISC flyer...

Dells or Artistics...take ya pick...close the thread lol

Am sure there are a couple 'out there'.......can the offending owners step forward lol :-)

Yes...few and far between those are methinks

Then of course, the old chestnut....rare and UNKNOWN.....if its unknown..then how do you justify 300quid (insert number of your choice)...if its NEVER been sold before because its unknown....then maybe a bit more realistic pricing is needed :-)

Devastating news........truly shocking. Top bloke was Gerry. Condolences to and thoughts are with Donna,family and friends. RIP Gerry

Going for Jerry on this...one of those 'you just had to be there sounds'...for me anyway

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't see that it adds much value to an event if a playlist is posted up. Personally I prefer to go and have a listen in 'real time' I know when we run an 'underplayed' session with other promoters we actively discourage playlists after the event(and all the DJ's agree) preferring the 'punter' to actually come out and sample the sounds for themselves, rather than wait till Monday and peruse through lists......the 'moment' has long gone !! As I say its just my point of view...... I suppose its a good marketing tool for DJ's to show their 'wares'...:-)

You could well be right Patto.....it was more a stab in the dark my 70 quid figure, purely coz I aint seen it listed many times. Must say great tune though AND well worthy of spins out and about

Dunno 70 quid ?....anyone ?

Now that was an LP that was well sought after...A woolworths buy if I'm not mistaken. Listening to it at the time it was quite 'upfront' lol

Very very sad news...thoughts are with his family and loved ones RIP JIm...I shall miss you old friend x

Same group as the Tribulations on Imperial ??...certainly a similar sounding lead vocal

I would have said around £30 for a black UK Liberty copy.....that being said I don't think they are as readily available as the US issue ..oh and yes proper old school :-)

But, would you entertain something new, someone new, something different, different styles? ** A few do...many don't. A plethora of reasons, with it being more of a 'social scene'...ie go to work all week , out with mates at weekend.....been the same for years ..can't blame folks for that really would promoters be prepared to maybe have an extra room to run alongside their event? and maybe this all goes on already? ** It does...loadsa second rooms nowadays around offering something different esp at Allnighters.....so there is a demand, however small that may be..

Hi Geoff Its in the 'events' section

Give us a clue what you're asking Mick lol :-)

The 'infamous' poster in the Torch photo,me and mick at the front, said poster in background.....and me and mick reunited with it...nearly 46yrs later
