Can go to £175 for Jack Montgomery - Dearly beloved Just got back from my hols cheers let me know, Thanks PK

I think Holly St James has been booted already, although not on a like for like label and therefor dose not bother me. The Cd thing is fine by me as well, like you say you can always hear new tunes that way. It looks like LAP TOPS are on their way next with a billion or so songs to choose so there will be nothing you cant hear if you ask for it. However something is a miss for me, as the magic of sitting in a venue and hearing a tune you have never heard before making the hairs on your neck stand up. Then running over to the decks to make your enquiries and hopefully get chance to hold the record its self, in order to remember the thing the next day and trawl web sites and phone around your favorite dealers with the hope of picking it up. Running up to check what CD its on doesn't have the same ring about it. I have a 7" Jobet copy of Tommy Good's " IVE GOT TO GET AWAY" think there is only me and Ginger who has it, but some how it found its way on to a CD some years back. I don't give a toss though as I can pick it out and play it at any chosen moment without looking what track it is etc. Thanks for you reply. PK

After calming down somewhat and looking back at my post reactions I would like to apologise for the fffing, at my age as you rightly say i should calm down a bit and ignore what's going on. They will carry on booting and I have no doubt collectors will buy them, I said collectors not so called DJs. You don't have to have £1000 pound records to be a good DJ, as there are fantastic tunes we all love and fill a dance floors for 10-20 quid and on original labels. My problem is copying labels is totally wrong as the people who buy them would buy them for a £10 on a printed white label if they wanted to play them at home etc. The fact I saw some DJ play something on a boot and did not say anything was due to two things, firstly I can't see that good without my specks and did not realise it was a boot till I was told afterwards. Secondly the tune had just been booted that week, one thing is for sure if it were on a white label that DJ would not have played it. I'm lucky as most of us are to have records that have gone through the roof value wise due mainly to the fact I carried on buying after Wigan etc not knowing they would double / treble in price. I was hoping they might read this and adjust their thoughts on label design, not holding out much hope though. Cheers everyone and keep on souling, I'm off to Valencia with a box of originals this weekend to DJ life is not that bad after all.

I have been meaning to post this for a while as it's really getting me down, as a 50 yr old Northern Soul fanatic who has been collecting records for over 35 year I think this must be said. At 15 years old and having very little money, I too collected bootleg records from wigan to play at the youth clubs etc, these records stuck out a mile that they were boots and to be honest nobody bothered as we all had f*ck all and as long as we could hear the top tunes during the week before heading back to Wigan at the weekend to see and hear the originals. At the time we also had Grapevine and Destiny records which too were repected, excepted and collectible. As the years have gone by more money found its way into my pockets and originals were the order of the day, and lucky for me still quite easy to get hold of, now my collection is very large and filled with expensive top tunes which I get great pleasure of playing from time to time at soul nights in the North West. Here's my problem, whoever is consistently reproducing the latest crop of top tunes on almost exactly the same label please f*ck *ff doing so, put them out on your own label if you want. Nothing worse than getting your records ready to do your spot when you see the DJ putting on a £10 boot which cost you £100's on the exact same label and now you cant get the pleasure of playing it. You know who you are so get on with designing your own label before the TAX MAN has you. I'm sure I'm not on my own with these thoughts. Together we can put a stop to this and keep Northern Soul the most wanted and expensive music ever.

Just though you might want to know, I have a version by Roy Smith who joint wrote the song on DELPHI (Oxford Nights etc) which is a fantastic version goes down well wherever I play it. Its a crossover sound and very hard to get. Mucho ££££££££ well worth looking out for. Cheers Paul

I dont know If your interested or not but I have a Jobet 7inch Acetate of Tommy Good's"Ive got to get away" ultra rare in excellent condition apart from a slight chip on the run in which dose not effect play. I can always play you the record if you wish. Only two known copies this and Gingers 10inch, which he regards as one of his best records. I paid big money some 15yrs ago and I have thought about trading it for something worth while. but nothings turned up as yet. Yours is a good list so what do you think. Paul Kidd 0161 480 3843
