Bugger me Pete that's two things we agree on in two days mate, if ever there was an example of a bad record it's this one, never liked it and I don't care how rare it is. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Bugger had me coat on too lol

I actually think the 70's cut thingy is a better record than the original....I'll get my coat. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Dancing boots and day shoes lol Regards - Mark Bicknell,.

I'm trying to contact the following people if anyone can help please? Dennis Billingham. Peter and Issy Hollander. Wendy and Stigger. Dave Carn and Peter Whitney. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

No idea mate perhaps you need to ask John that question, the joke is I currently have a Buster and Eddie for sale and yes it's an original lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Again that's not my point and I'm not defending CM, I'm not suggesting I alone know my subject more a general point for everyone wheeling and dealing in records that a little research if you are unsure if a record is authentic simply covers your back and could avoid instances like this, I don't personally know CM so can't comment on his knowledge all I know about the man is he has a good reputation and the fact that he's been dealing in records for many years, at no point in my replies have I deffended CM so I don't know where you got that from, again my point was based on knowing your subject, do your homework, ask for a second opinion if you are unsure to avoid paying over the odds for a second issue/pressing or whatever, I guess at the end of the day no one forced the bidder/buyer to get involved with this auction record and I can't help thinking that they realised after the fact that it's a second issue which reverts back to if you know your subject beforehand then any mistakes can simply be avoided. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Fair point but simply on looking at the scan if you know your subject which again is my point and of course are aware what an authentic copy looks like then well that answers the question regarding it being a second issue but again I guess if that is stated then there is no confusion. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

That's not what I said, my point is about knowing your subject from both the dealers and the buyers perspective in simple terms if you know what your looking at then you can avoid non authentic records, i.e. knowing the difference betweeen a Buster And Eddie pressing/bootleg and the original, I do take your point that said dealer on this ocassion has been around long enough to know the difference so no excuses there but again my point is basically knowledge is power. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Things like this boil down to simply knowing your subject that goes for collectors/buyers and dealers alike, with a little research and asking around for a second opinion can at least cover your back, I'm not suggesting we should know it all that's impossible but there is enough help out there like price guides and many people qualified and expert in records to avoid falling fail of buying pressings and bootlegs by mistake. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sent you a PM. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Nail on head there mate and basically why I hardly go anywhere soul venue wise, think I went to three or four events last year and I've been to four this year since and including New Years Eve, there was a time when I was out every weekend had a full diary of DJ bookings still having the desire, passion and commitment for all things soulful, numerous reasons why I don't really bother anymore most of which have been covered throughout this thread, respect to everyone who is still keeping everything going and also respect to those and there are many who have basically said enough is enough, never say never and all that but please don't destroy the scene totally for the sake of all the people that still have the love and passion for a darn good soul record. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
