hang on..didnt i say this already!!!..obviously i have no reputation...

well..the first boot was the plain yellow label i'm sure..so why boot again when there were plenty copies available? and later i think the green ones came along, so there seemed to be plenty of originals (yellow & green) plus the first boots..it seems a similar situation to the Soul patrol discs..more likely original that boots...

it cossed my mind as well..so i sought advice thru a well known guide ..which is not always correct. However, i always thought the yellow with red label text were original.This is based on the fact i bought a copy from a well known DJ in mid '74..and a month or so later it was booted on the pale yellow /black label text..to which he apologised and said he had no idea it was to be pressed.i think it had two different label designs..this and the green version..i stand to be corrected..

also was pressed (demo) with a nashville matrix..

Ha Ha..my daughter text me to say..be better without bono chippin' in...

in the late 70's..i think Skegness collector Shaun hogan (mogul) bought a demo from kev Roberts who had recently unearthed a copy in the US..£30..he later sold it for about the same price. i spoke to shaun about it when it was valued at £1000..and now..it would be like losing a winning lottery ticket!!!!

hopefully i can put a little more perspective onto this thread. Ive worked at the top end of the film industry for 25 years, from big budget blockbusters to small indie movies.I costume designed the movie ''Soulboy'.Been a soul/northern fan from around 68/69 and attended allnighter from early 74-78. About 25 years ago i wrote a stage play about 2 young men caught up in petty crime then murder in 1972, set against a background of northern soul and set also in the north of England.Eventually it became a film script, and as i was working in the industry i was able to show it to the right people.It came within a whisker of getting funded by RCA who wanted to license the music.After many tries i gave up, i hadn't the free time it demanded and although it received many complimentary remarks about the storyline..the overall feeling was ( around 2001) that the northern soul angle wasnt commercial enough.My experiences proved that it is extremely difficult to get a script off the ground and into a film.However once you have completed filming it can be even harder to get a distribution deal.Ive worked on a few where after filming the movie disappeared..leaking out in a cinema for a 5 day release then sunk.Its a common occurrence .I suspect this may have happened to this latest attempt. Money is usually (or the lack of it) the cause..everything is cutback..and it can suffer..its like trying to build a car with a too small budget..with help from friends and goodwill etc..very hard.Often films are built/budgeted around a strong cast first..but even then things can soon wither away..an actor may agree to be attached to a production but with no commitment things can soon plummet. By comparison the movie 'Quadrophenia' was a full on production with many upcoming actors as well as 'star' sting and the backing of the Who with a soundtrack release guaranteed.A different story, literally.I had no involvement with the recent northern soul film, once was enough for me.I wish it success but i can imagine it has been a trying time for director/producers..

mine plays a tad muffled..and it sounds too fast..flip is clearer..

this is the epitome of uptempo gospel...'So glad i found him'..Hunt Bros..a rare 45..its on an old GB podcast..

Des, you have a pm...

i'd like to hear them...

you have a pm

Bitter: sweet put the hook in me..what label/format is it on..image/pic?

back in the day..certainly when i was doing the allniters etc..very few if any unreleased tunes were on the decks or playlists.Since of course, many top sounds have been unearthed.So which stand out for you?..criteria being unreleased at the time (of recent recording or generally at that time) these mainly being the ones that have lain in archives or vaults or produced as limited acetates, tests, not demos that were pressed to precede an intended release. Many now appear on CD to supplement existing recordings and of course the Kent label has unearthed some great stuff. one of my faves is Maurice Williams-'Look my way' which appeared as an LP only on Kent. So be it northern,crossover,or deep..or whatever whats a really worthy tune thats eventually seen the light of day?

and your theory would be?

dont know..i have no matrix details for Miss LL..

Ive a copy of both vocal versions of 'I'll let it be you'.Its a monarch pressing pressing with stick on label white /black text bearing the details for the RIVERSIDE pressing of Lou Courtney 'me an you doin the boo ga loo/if the shoe fits.obviously some sort of mis press but the delta is 103270/x which is different to the delta of the Karl Evans boot....so, anyone else got one?/shed some light?

centuries jack 23..pretty fast as i recall...

yes!!!!

i definitely dont feel sorry.And here's why...many many records are so much easier to find via dealers/internet etc..than bitd..ive bought several over recent years that i never used to see for sale.They are also cheaper in relative terms..some great tunes available for peanuts.The top indemand & classic tunes are a different story, most will usually keep or increase their high price..but for a collector just starting out..with a blank page..must be exciting..ive been collecting since 1970 and i'm still finding great stuff, underplayed, new to me..etc at decent prices..buy cheap but quality 45's..and keep your eyes open for a bargain or top sound that is reasonable..you could get a decent collection going without leaving your house, you couldn't do this bitd..
