he was telling me stuff was rare and tunes were classics and as he was a well known dj from a big soul event , i believed him . it wasnt until i tried to trade some stuff back to him and then my friends dad looked at what he had sold me that i realised he was just dumping his stuff that noone else wanted on me , telling me they were classics dancers etc some of the tunes were good but i paid well over the odds not knowing , so he got me for quiet abit of cash but he then lost all business

seeing peoples feedback is useful , i found out that a dealer was buying stuff from the states for very little and ripping me off on the stuff he was selling to me as i was new to collecting , i only found his id by chance as we were both bidding on the same 45. i know that its a dealers job to make money but this was before price guides and before i found the forums but it made me think twice about using him and in the end i stopped private feedback can look dodgy but i have always got on ok with sellers , most use it as they sell and buy on the one account

there is a four tops song called dont let him take your love from me which has the chorus "girl dont you do it " proabably not what you were looking for but thought id mention it just incase

the other thing to remember is the website of vinyl carvers do not pay over 10 pounds for an obvious bootleg as you can get your own 45 made from them most tunes that were bootlegged are available on cds in great quality so the 45 you get made will sound better than some dodgy bootleg made from a copy of the 45 in the 70s theres no point in paying over the odds for a poor sounding copy as you can get a mint sounding one made cheaply , if its not the original it is still a copy doesnt matter when it was made 70s ,80s , yesterday etc if you are just collecting for yourself then its fine to get these done but please nobody turn this into a bootleg v original playing thread

sorted now many thanks

its on the prix label and i bought this off john powney a couple of months ago cost around 15 pounds

hi i know that this is millie jackson at a different speed , but can someone please email me an mp3 or post it up if thats allowed on site please i have it in itunes format and the person who wants it doesnt have itunes i downloaded if from a thread on here which i now can not find davidwapples@yahoo.co.uk many thanks dav

most of the classics are available on cd nowadays either via goldmine or kent also there are alot of friendly people on this site who can help you with mp3s so if you are not totally sure of the tracks you can get a version before parting with serious cash. first thing to do is get a copy of the bootleg guide so you dont get stung on ebay or from any dealer trying it on as you may be new to buying vinyl also find a dealer that you can trust , i have known dealers who have priced records up more because you have sent them a wants list compaired to the normal price from sales boxes etc

there was meant to only be 200 copies of sven zetterbug - heartaches was all you got a couple of years ago

can we also ban the words local djs - these tend just to be promoters mates with a box of £5 bootlegs

thanks for the link to the other site mike very good site and a nice 4 min version to listen to

my mate paid 50 for it about a year ago and i thought that was too much then but its indemand so would still say around that price

can anyone let me have a copy of the girl you're so good side as an mp3 so i can listen to it on my ipod please i only have a short clip of this that was posted on here when it was discussed as the eric lomax cover up thanks in advance

cover the label so she wont know you have taken it till the stylus hits the vinyl lol then run

i bought a copy for around 35 quid which was the rare one last year , managed to get just over 70 for it in trades , its nothing special and not worth 200 in my opinion

dont know sorry , i didnt get that much details , only saw the 45 for a sec before it was swapped

the standard blue and silver label is available for around 40-75 quid there is a west coast demo , i have seen one that ian seaman from barrowby had before he traded it this i was told is a west coast issue which is worth about 200 i think

what a horrible version of thjis classic blues tune the version on eric claptons unplugged album blows the pants off this and the janis joplin version is simply awesome i know they are not soul tunes but i cant see why the high price for this version

it also depends on what grading structure the people use i only use the one from record collector magazine , everyone has different ideas on what is vg g ex mint etc and people put alot of +s infront etc one mans ex record is anothers vg were they graded on apperance , sight , playable etc the best way is to try and go through paypal as goods not how they were meant to be , but if other people who bought similar lots said they were happy then you may have a job prooving it

ive been going to local nights for a couple of years , although most of the time i know what the tracks are as they mainly play the classic oldies i still find myself hounding anyone within earshot occasionally asking what the track being played is i usually get told "you must know this its a classic oldie etc " so one mans classic played oldie can be another persons new discovery but id usually sooner sit through an hour of total tripe and hear one track that i really like that i havent heard before than an hour of stuff that i already know why cant people mix it up abit during their set

didnt whitesnake cover bobby blands aint no love in the heart of ther city
