Is This The Worst Record Ever Played On The Scene?

I think they'd classify him as Folk Blues if you want to be pedantic. Joe Simon had a fair old crack of the (bull)whip at it as well

Both Chicago records, so more likely a local re-issue. Jimmy Robbins must have sold plenty on Jerhart, so the probably wanted to shift a few on the back of that.

Not a boot as far as I'm aware... both sides are listed in Tim Browns guide with the correct numbers.

Another theory could be: 1st issue of the record comes back from the pressing plant (Black and Green label) and the label owner thinks that no one will buy it because it is butt ugly. Has the label redesigned in wonderful technicolor and repressed in quantity. Then sticks with the second label for the rest of the releases. but... If you were a label owner would you follow the 1000 series with a 500 series, or would you go for a higher number?

Yep.

Confirms what I was thinking... definately two seperate issues... Black and green label doesn't fit in with the label # sequence (500's) so I reckon it is a second issue (60s)

Karen, can you confirm the number on yours... Is it 501 or something like 101/1001... can never remember which is which

Two different issues... probably had a 'hot' record on another label and the company tried to cash in by re-releasing it. Don't think it's the National versus Local issue in this case.

'plain' as in 'ugly' green and black? This was a ten quid record on the Mod scene then as soon as a Northern DJ got hold of it, it jumped up to £50 overnight. Bloody hundreds of them about.... must have sold a fair few on release

The Djs name is Kieron O'Hara and he DJs in the London area . He told my wife that he was really worried about the way he was going to be received as it was the first time he had DJ'ed in the North and didn't know what kind of sounds that people would respond favourably to... When he was told to play what he thought was worthy of playing, he was suprised as he had experienced a lot of hostility in London when playing something that wasn't the norm, with people approaching the decks and shouting abuse at him. Is that enough information to back it up, Soulsmartarse?

Bit of a split personality. Looking into your other posts, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder about DJs and 'Cartels'. Are you a Chocolate Chip Cookie? Or just Crackers? WOOF!

I will have been DJing at one of those nights at Steam (possibly both) and I agree, the dancefloor should be kept busy, that's a fact I won't dispute. I don't accept that 'punters' ( a word I hate but can't think of a better word) have the right to slag DJs off to their face whilst they are up their doing their thing... hence the kick up the arse comment... If someone wants to tell me I'm shit after I've finished DJing then fair enough. One of the DJs at 'Back Beat' told me it was common practice to be shouted at whilst DJing in the South (where he's from) and he was kacking himself because he expected the same in the North. Thankfully this isn't the case and he played an excellent spot. If you don't like what a DJ is playing, let the promoter know, they booked them and it's down to them to decide whether they should have them back - it's not the responsibilty of a solitary gobshite to shout them down. On the same note, if a DJ plays an excellent spot, then let the promoter know as well.

Cash paid for a clean playing VG or better copy. Doesn't have to be pretty, either issue or demo will do so long as both sides play ok.

Anyone who treats anyone in this way want's a size nine up their arse, and if they did it to me that's what they'd get. If you want a DJ to play the same old tired tunes week in week out I suggest you buy a CD jukebox, fill it with Goldmine CDs and stay at home. You'd be doing everyone a favour.

Don't think this is entirely to blame... More likely the number of middle age returnees with plenty of disposable incomes where the kids have left home/divorce has come through/parents have snuffed it and left them a house. Look at any Northern rarity sold on eBay and you can bet that nine out of ten bidders will be from the UK.
