Nearly had a go at this one myself last week until i saw the re-mastered bit and there were others described the same last week, though I can't recall which. It's appaling how folks fake their descriptions as much as the records they sell. Bought two recently described as VG that were so battered they are virtualy unplayable. It's great though that this forum exists to expose these dudes. Thanks for sharing. Mick

In case anyone is interested I have started a public group on the Flickr photo web site for sharing label scans of bootlegs and reissue, hopefully this might help folk with their buying in future. Please click here to access it. It's both free and easy to join Flickr and I would welcome anyone else's contributions to this resource. A public group means that anyone can post there, but please, only scans of bootlegs and re-issues. Thanks Mick

Lovely tune - personaly I'd rather have it than "too much", good tune though it is. Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys. Mick

This is another tune that used to be a £20 quid record, where the last few copies seemed to have tipped for £150 plus. Does anyone know if it's because its been played out? https://www.popsike.com/Ronnie-McCainnorthern-soul-45-on-TriodeThis-Timehear/390308535814.html Thanks Mick

Another overpriced boot I wish I hadn't given away! M

Think it's "Lonely One", from the "Swings", LP - nice lilting instrumental. Mick

Ollie & The Nightingales - I've Never Found A Girl I've Never Found A Girl - The Mad Lads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSEYIN5SjPM A couple of the more unusual versions: The The Friends of Distinction is a great version: Clem Curtis (the Foundations):

Nice version of the Steve Mancha classic: The Mad Lads: Did my baby call?

I take it that it's a recent boot then? Mick

There was no better artist than Walter to extract the pathos and hit that note of sentimentaly in a lyric, which turns a great singer into a legend, a soul singer. This ballad is tops to me, didn't know that it was released as a Chi-sound 45 until just, though its best heard on the "good to see you" album: Walter Jackson "we could fly" , Carl Davis produced, Riley Hampton arranged: Superb!!

Laura Green "Moonlight etc.. I believe that the early 70's RCA Grey re-issue was a genuine repress, stamped matrix and all, does anyone know if this is a boot? It's been given the same cataolgue number. Thanks Mick

All now posted out. As others have said, probably a few liberty's taken with criteria. Never thought I'd find an audience for my Duran Duran collection on these pages though. Best Mick

A million at our house. The whole album's fulla gems!! Nice pick. Thanks for sharin Mick

RE:Jasmine Kara "Ain't No More Room" Thought I'd revive this, as I caught "ain't no more room" on Wogan today. Half decent pop effort, was surprised to hear it on teh radio. https://swedishstereo.blogspot.com/2012/01/jasmine-kara-aint-no-more-room.html The Original of course:

Nice one, forgot all about this un, will have to dig it out again. Nice Smokey LP only track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrS3rbikn8k

Here's one that i took an interest in. A request about authenticity as you might imagine, went unanswered: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290654708175?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Don't appear to have such luck selling my own boots.
