I appreciate your opinion, but dont call my friend a tosser, you dont know him. He is a bloody nice bloke.........please speak your mind, but dont abuse people you dont know. Russ

Good times, mate.......ya never know if i ever find a venue, i might have a few more promotions left in me . Russ

Good to hear from you Martyn.......they were good times for sure. Russ

Russ

Along with the 'Uptown Down South' promotions, a beacon of open minded, forward thinking dance floor soul at the time........had some great nights there & made some great friends............. Russ

As i stated earlier, they are not bootlegs, but a REPRESS the original was withdrawn cos there was a hooha over credits, credits were ammended & record was repressed. Furthermore there is a colour difference in the label, its quite obvious when you get them together.........ALL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHICH WAS THE WITHDRAWN ORIGINAL PRESS, I did know, but self abuse & the mists of time have fogged the memory . It is significant, altho as you quite rightly state, neither is a boot, cos otherwise the information will become lost, we need to document this info correctly. Most people either dont know about the repress, or dont want to know in case the one they have turns out to be the second press !!!. So can we pse nail this........does the previous thread get to the bottom of it ???.......i cant find it to check. Russ

No........he used to go the 100 Club all the time, used to knock around with Wayne from Swindon & Nigel & Ged from round these parts, havnt seen any of em for years. Russ

Richard Searling, WC, James Lewis c/up. Russ

Out of interest which copy do you have ? Russ

I have the gut feeling it was the blue label which credits Reave Watkins that was first ???........however i am only basing this on a nagging far distant memory & wouldnt want to bet on it. Russ

Sorry.......similtaneous posting........ Russ

There ya go mate..........thanks for that, I knew i wasnt going mad.........now if i could just emember which came first !!!! Russ

One credit states 'Watkins - Carnobi' the other credits 'Reave - Watkins'......... Russ

If you go on popsike you can clearly see the different credits........I've been trying to put the scans up on here but cant, anyone else try pse. BTW still cant remember which was the first ......its not a boot as far as i know, its a repress done cos the original was withdrawn. Russ

Danny from Swindon way, who's second name I cant remember now, bought the second press back from the US in small quantity in the late 8ts early 9ts. I cant remember the exact details now Joe, but the original press was withdrawn cos the credits wernt right, the second/repress had amended credits & the label colour was a very slightly different shade. Remember it well, cos on the same trip he found a Cairos in a book shop, in the book, sleeveless. but in good nick I beleive ! ............I've hammered on about this numerous times, but no one can seem to remember the full details & others beleive it to be a myth I'm sure...........but its true I tell ya !!!. Danny, if your lurking about, pse put us out of our misery. Russ
