Too true. And more satisfaction from playing a £10 original than a Goldmine or whatever. Love me cheapie sounds!
I have only ever DJ'd with originals and it is my own policy to only play originals and the SSM will only have DJ's that will play originals. However, I do dj for a few people who themselves play boots/reissues/acetates and whereas this used to annoy me, now I think, well its their do and if thats what they want to do, so be it. As somone said on here in the past day or so, if it wasn't for these promoters then there wouldn't be soul nites to go to anyway.
Of course when they play a boot/reissue/acetate of something another DJ has got the original of in their box. Well thats another story...
