I do - I've probably still got the tape you did for me with it on (my tapes are in a box in the attic, must get it sorted out sometime...and see if my tape deck still works )

Possibly a marketing/recognition thing - hardly anyone has an original (obviously, it wouldn't be rare otherwise ) but a hell of a lot of people either still have or once had the boot and therefore the boot label will have a higher recognition value among the masses?

Especially true now that things like drug and firearm enforcement have been handed over to Soca - so we can't even make sarcastic comments about how it's nice to know that problems therefrom have obviously been solved

'Twas also briefly in Kill Bill during one of the scenes

As in this guy: One of my regular spins when I get the chance

Just under 10 years ago now, walking past the New World pub (as it was then) in Worksop and...hey this sounds familiar....it's James Bounty - Prove Yourself A Lady! Wow, thinks me, I'll pop in here...turns out one of the regulars had brought a Northern tape in and in doing so had sparked my journey back onto the scene

Well if you like it uptempo (with a bit of mid as well) get yourself to Clowne on the 31st (yes, I'm a shameless self promoter )

Seconded, I recently received a record I ordered from him, condition was great too - it did take him a while and a few reminders tho', possibly he genuinely has just been having problems recently?

I actually have one of these - got it in a bulk deal many years ago with a few other things, cost maybe three quid...not sure how well it'd go down on the dancefloor as it's kind of messy n'est-ce pas, tho' stranger things have happened

My 2p worth: good song in both versions but the Sheppards has the edge for me

If I had it, I'd play it

Well I've had myself a 7" VC dub cut of a currently big 12"-only release (I have the original 12) for 2 reasons - 1) so I can put it in my 7" box and 2) I took the liberty of cutting off the repetitive thump thump thump at the beginning and end

And on the same label, what about this one: The Other Side - 5 of a kind - sidra 13621 refosoul also on 1979 Soundof the Grapevine LP

Real ones are ZTSC stamped.

Cameo Parkway stuff has been reissued recently - maybe they wised up?

Do you have stairs in your house?

But could you deny that you were dancing close together?

On that basis, can those of us who have CD decks built into our gear just play the CD in these cases? (It'd be more original than a vinyl dub from said CD )

Actually, "Just Loving You" is available on at least 2 legitimate compilation CDs - Talk of the Grapevine and one of the Kent Dave Godin comps

You mean serious players like, say, 14 year old girls using public p2p servers?

Jo Boxers - Doin The Boxer Beat

Yes, there does seem to be a lot of "emperor's new clothes" in the jazz world - recently I listened to a CD which sounded almost as though the band were spending half an hour tuning up

Point to remember also - sometimes the lp version is longer than the 45 - eg Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up", Prince Phillip Mithcell "Im So Happy", GIl Scott Heron "The Bottle" - no doubt there are other examples

I still see Bill locally every now and then - I'll let him know you guys have been asking about him next time I see him.

As far as I know the only true original is the Kapp release which is just credited as "Rubin" - in fact, I remember reading somewhere that the "Rubin Parker" credit on this reissue was inspired by it being covered up as Eddie Parker originally? *update* just checked in JM's guide - the Rubin parker copies are actually boots.
