Hi All The rarest boot of at the DISCOTEQUE I own is a white blank from 69 it has the TAMS HEY GIRL DON,T BOTHER ME, on the other side, I dont think even Kieth Minshall has this boot, once again I have never found anouther collector who has a copy, now that I am on SS someone might have more info on it (record not at hand just now so I cant give matrix details but its not a JK DAVE KIL

Hi Ed This is of course one of the UK singles that annoys me every time I get round to pulling it out to play in the 7ts I had the sweetest girl, but sold it years ago, in fact I may try a chase a copy, yes in Presidents wisdom the issued the official a sides to both tunes, in all the years collecting UK stuff I have always found DEMOS of this single I am uncertain it was released still its one for the collection DAVE KIL

THESE DISCS WERE GIVEN TO DJ,s TO PROMOTE RECORDS THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE RELESED ON THE GREAT GRAPEVINE LABLE. THE WORD RICHARD IS ON THE RUN OUT GROOVE ALL THE TIME YOU WERE DANCING TO THE HIP DJ WITH RECORDS THAT NO ONE COULD GET? YOU WERE PROBERLY DANCING TO THESE ACCITATE? MAKES YOU THINK BROTHERS AND SISTER..KEEP THE FAITH DAVE KIL

WHEN THEY ARE THIS RARE, YOU NEVER SELL RULE 3 OF COLLECTING RARE UK DAVE KIL

I HAVE BEEN SORTING MY RECORDS AROUND, HAVE GOT ALL INVICTUS LABEL, DEMOS AND ISSUES BUT HOW ABOUT THESE 2 NICE AND RARE, BAND OF GOLD 502 BLANK AND WHITE LABEL OF 501 DAVE KIL

MY FAV NON DANCERS ARE SO MANY BUT THE TOP 2 HAS TO BE SMOKEY FROM WOLVES & THE ONE AND ONLY MICK SMITH. HOWEVER MOST DJs CANT DANCE? DAVE KIL

AT THE LAST KEELE I SAW ONE THATS A BOOT IN A BOX FOR £20+ THATS A GIVE AWAY FOR A START, AND FOLLOWED BY THE WORDS I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS A REAL UN!?-I LOOKED AT IT WITH NICK MARSHALL AND THE WHITE LABEL IS VERY GOOD THE TELL TALE CLUE IS LIKE MOST BOOTS THE RUN OUT GROOVE, IN THIS CASE FAR TO LONG FOR MY LIKEING, HOWEVER IF YOU WERE BLOCKED OR PISSED IT COULD FOOL YOU SO BE AWARE DAVE KIL

Hi can anybody give me more info onthis label? not what we already know but what else was issued? I got this copy from Kieth Mishall a few years ago for a £1 as I will buy anything unuseal, its a copy of the Belles-Dont Pretend typed on label as is the name Kieth, I assume it was given to him to plug at the Casino, does any body have more info on the label? DAVE KIL

Yes you are right in saying these early clubs were MOD clubs, however there was a high amount of R%B soul and Motown plated at the also SKA and certain pop R&B and even groups like the Beach Boys got played, if my memory serves me well my visits to the Wheel in 69 the music policy was not dissimilar to the Flamingo with the exception that in London clearly thing become funky-er and at the wheel artist like the Drifters were more popular I would say the rare soul element was around this time 67/8 and that by 68/69 in London the new Jamaican rhythm of reggae was the in thing and Taylor made for the bovver boy style of youth culture that although short lived got a lot of people more interested in obscure aspects of black music and in the same way I speak for myself here that by 71/72 lead me back to the allnighter scene in the North which had blossomed into a rare soul scene and what become known as Northern soul. A statement that could only been made by someone from the south as the north in those days meant as the saying goes any were north of Watford, I personally only know very few people from the south who were at the start of what is know as the rare soul scene in those days in particular MICK SMITH who lived less than a mile from me and by the time we were first DJing together in 71/2 his records were just amazing to here and his knowledge of soul could not be challenged, I believe this is because he never got into the reggae scene that was really big in our area and his focus was firmly into the rare underground soul scene DAVE KIL

I never did get to go to the Night Owl I used to go to the soho clubs , the totenham royal, stevenage mecca the calli in dunstable I even went to the wheel when I got a chance to get up north? however my elder brother did go a few times I particular remember him comeing home after he saw Ben E King DAVE KIL

The first recognised allnighter was the SCENE club in Soho DJ Guy Stevens of SUE record fame DAVE KIL

WHO KNOWS AT LEAST WE HAVE A COPY THATS MORE TO THE POINT DAVE KIL

Well it still came from myself Neil as I found several copies I thought there was only one issue if you check with john he will give you the provanance, I am sure you believe me any way I also got him to sell a John Ford issue did you buy that also..I have both issue and the extra rare Demo in my collection, its not just Mick Smith who has all the rare UK stuff its just hes got all the rare UK stuff what a boy, he is in Wolves this Saturday record fair at the civic pass it on to the in crowd DAVE KIL

Hi all UK collectors.. this is my copy of the very rare CUZ IT,S YOU GIRL...Its the only copy I have seen as all info on the recored state it never got distrabuted? for some reason only DEMOS were mailed out. I have had my copy for years, I have owned several DEMOS which is rare on its own but the issue much rareer, however DEMOS allways look better to my eyes, as to value WHAT DO YOU THINK ITS WORTH DAVE KIL

Hi..Just a reminder to you all a lot of stuff issued in the UK in the 7ts are in most cases 1st UK issues MCA, JAY BOY LONDON BRUNSWICK GRAPEVINE ext, although there were some 2nd issues most of the 7ts stuff is rarer than you think especially as DEMOS, before EBay and the like when collecting was an adventure into secret locations it took me ages to locate items like Jimmy Conwell JAY BOY DEMO, and when I found THE LARUE, MCA DEMO it was like finding gold, I particualy remember try to collect the DISCO DEMAND DEMOS..all I am saying if you collect UK singles there are many sounds that are over looked because the stock copy is not rare..but clearly the demos are just try buying a original FRANK WILSON PICTURE SL DEMO? even after many reissues and boots it still fetches good ££$$£ even copies with Factory Sample stickers are very rare I have only seen 1 and that's in my collection and don't even think that anybody can put a fake sticker on, but mine ain't fake. DAVE KIL

iF MEMORY SERVES ME WELL NEIL? I THINK YOU BOUGHT ONE OF MY DEMOS FROM JOHN & MALCOMS SHOP IN WILLINHALL A FEW YEARS BACK? DAVE KIL

YES AS I SAY I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOUTHERONE ITS ONE OF THEM CASE THE STOCK COPY IS WOTH MORE THAN A DEMO, HOWEVER THE DEMO DOES LOOK BETTER? IF I NEW HOW TO PUT PHOTOS ON I WOULD SHOW YOU AS I AM A LUDITE WITH IT DAVE KIL

Hi yes I have both UK issue and Demo over the years I have only found ! issue yet I have found % Demos and never seen an issue listed, I found it in a second hand shop in the centre of Wolves 10yrs ago DAVE KIL

THE ANSWER IS YES ALWAYS HAVE SINCE THE LATE 6ts HOWEVER I DO LOOK AT THE LABEL FIRST TO RECOGCNISE WRITERS AND PRODUCERS ECT, THERE DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION OR DOES IT TELL YOU I AM A COLLECTOR NOT A STAMP COLLECTOR BUYING FROM A PRICE GUIDE BOOK ASK YOURSELF ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY WELL ARE YOU DAVE KIL

it looks very much to me an old EMI Disk with a very old photo copy of the demo lable, but years ago at Wiganpoeple were mugged of all the while in loads of ways, my fav way of buying was to get the kids walking around the bar area with there 45 box whip through the records if i spotted a couple of rare ones in a box of boots i would say what do you want for the whole box this worked for me 9x out of 10 as thay say DAVE KIL

To me my fav has to be the Eddie Foster Do I Love You (indeed I do) IN records IN6326B black label? with all the differant boots and 3 differant TMGs the initial boot is still a classic of Memory Lane at the CASINO?Have you got a copy? DAVE KIL
