I remember buying this as an "original" back in about 76 /77 paid £8 for it then which was half a weeks wage! Is there a difinitive way of spoting the boot, i seem to remember something about the run out groove edge being raised or flat or somethin else, but cant remember if that was on the boot or orig, so basically f##kin useless info!!!! Also any idea what the original is worth nowadays? i saw the lookalike boot on here a few weeks ago for about £75????? Im not sellin it by the way, just curious! Thanks in advance for any help!!!! SAME HERE, BUT THINK MINE WAS £6... they all came in Original GSF sleeves as well, which I later discovered were "Robbed" from hit GSF records at the time purchased cheaply . They originated from New York and the person who was involved is still on here as an active member--allegedly ! They are easy to spot once you have seen an original pressing....be safe and try and find the Israeli LP to be sure.......!!!! Rob -
Good bits in it, but awful production and singing

Hi Maark heard it was Fab last year and had an eye on it to go.... shifts / work permitting..... but as Ian says there's an awful lot on in London this "Summer" (if it ever stops raining) and for myself it would really depend on the weather if I wanted to attend .. can't hack cold muddy fields.. or freezing cold apartments come to that either ! hope it all goes well on the re-arranged date.

¹ Possibly due to moving further from London ? I wouldn't have thought they saved Mega amounts axing Nolan and his band, but possibly an easy target !

Big shame, given what that (IYEWOOML) record means to so many people....

Try Moses Smith and Dena Barnes who appear to be quite untraceable despite plenty of recordings ?

Steve Mancha tribute Grave Marker dedication Dear Soul Source people, we have received a message from Melvin Davis in Detroit and the Marker for Steve Mancha's grave is being dedicated and laid in place tomorrow. Melvin sends his thanks to all who contributed to the Steve Mancha memorial fund in the appeal in 2011 on Soul Source. As Melvin says "If it was left to Detroit to do this then we would still be waiting and Steve's grave would have been left un-marked" A small gathering of Steve's friends will attend the dedication, along with a film crew and press and local TV. Melvin is saying prayers and will publicly thank soul fans from around the globe who contributed to the fund. Both myself and Ady wish to thank everyone who helped us to achieve this, surplus funds after all costs were given to Steve's mother, who is in a nursing home herself. There is now a permanent memorial to one of the finest voices ever to grace 45 rpm records. RIP Detroit legend Steve Mancha Rob Wigley The photo of the marker at the memorial merchants, the stone is made from Rose marble. -

The thing about Brid spa is 4 out of the 5 rooms are dance floors wall to wall--all Canadian Maple as well. main room at Brid is fully sprung, its also reputedly the largest sprung dance floor in Europe! My first dance on my new knee was on there as well...... I always enjoyed the challenge of the 100 Club floor is it me or does it slope as well ? Love it ! Rob

Bad news RIP Whitney...good news coverage https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-17001548 here with her background info.. Rob

A great find, he's listing all sorts including the rare and not so rare Velvet Underground 45s--making $20 to $250 a piece. Certainly 3 Tony Middletons a couple of Velours so far. All radio Station stock had to be pressed at some point and sent out to individual stations 10s of thousands in USA in the 60s. So it was somebodys job to mail them out to local record pushers such as "Ed Chips"...bound to have come from a local warehouse and probably been stripped in the past of the rare Beatles, garage, Phyc etc Good luck to him ¹ Postage is very high for individual cheaper records so not really worth doing unless you buy a lot Rob

Sad loss and would have been great for him to appear at a gig like Cleethorpes where his music would have let the crowd really show their appreciation of his work. I know Chalky did a lot of work finding him a couple of years back and always talked of meeting him and seeing him perform...sadly now to never be.....RIP Kell

Personally I assume it won't happen - and anyone trying to promote a 3,500 capacity weekender at two months notice wants their heads looking at! We're off to see Billy Connolly in Cardiff that weekend instead Where's Billy DJing Dave ?

I found 2 copies of this bootleg in Subway records in New York in 1979--they look just like the real thing--pre scanners and good photocopiers as well--suspect they were booted for the US market ? Not seen one since then--but as I recall may not be as Crisp printing--a rare boot !!! Rob
