No it wasn't Andy...never booted...reissued on Outtasite a couple of years back

Blue and silver is the original issue - black and silver is the original demo - though nobody appears to have seen a demo until a long time after the issues were first found. I sold the above for over 5 grand earlier this year and it was definitely an original!

Of course, I remember the name now, sorry I thought you were talking about someone in contemporary terms.

They look alright but stands to reason you won't get the same results as you would off a 'proper' deck though? I was using a Stanton through an adaptor thing going directly into the Mac, was perfect but then started to get crackle on it - Tesco had these USB decks on offer last month, wooden base, look nice, only basic but the recording quality was better than that which I had with the Stanton! Thats just my opinion Chris, I might be totally wrong, I got a Vestax when they first came out but decided it was pointless so I moved it on.

That's right, as my playlist at the top of the page confirms, utter pop crap.

I wouldn't use a portable to record to itunes Chris, also do these Vestax have a usb out?

Who's Clive Richardson?

Is that right? I didn't know that. I've only seen the reaction to it on Soul Source. Did it get the thumbs down on the oh so important Facebook groups? (Serious question)

£3 that one

It's like handwriting saying just that - Bell Sound

Carole - is it styrene or vinyl? (Styrene - thin unflexible plastic which would crack if you bent it, and you can peel the label off ; vinyl, more flexible, and you cannot remove the label) If it is styrene, in the run off it will have a triangle and a number after it - 100300 means that it was pressed in 1976, and is therefore a bootleg. If it is vinyl, and has the initials p.b. in the run off, it is a counterfeit. If it is vinyl and does NOT have p.b. scratched in the run off, it is an original.

It's easy £300

Thanks Mum

Bit tight with the photos though aren't they?

I think that's a fair result

An emidisc is an acetate...

People used to choose from a list of titles and get any two cut back to back, like the one above - thats from 1975 I'd guess.

Rob, why the f*ck are you arguing with yourself? Nobody's talking about playing anything on this thread..

In the 70's, when a record was massive, there were only say 10 top dj's, one or two would have the original and the others would have emidiscs cut off those two originals - and play them at Wigan, Blackpool, Cleethorpes with pride! I've literally sat on the decks with Keith Minshull once at Wigan and he played EMI after EMI, Tough Girl etc.

I have a Tamangoes issue and demo at the moment.

Only thought that was worth about £15!

https://www.rare-soul.com Guys my new website is finally ready, there's not a massive amount on it yet as I only started uploading yesterday but there are forty or fifty things in the UK and USA originals sections, also there are a couple of articles in 'Features' which you'll have seen before but you should see them now after the revamp. The player works but there's only track 1 in there at the moment. I'll be putting up digital downloads and all sorts of stuff eventually but I want to get the stock on first so if you bookmark the page, each time you come back there should be more stuff up there for sale. I will also be taking records in for other people on consignment; send them to me, I'll scan them, describe them, publish them and sell them for you, they can stay there as long as you want them to for free - I take a 20% commission. I hope you like it anyway, Mal Collins spent such a long time sorting this out for me I'd like to say many thanks to him, and his website design company is open for business. cheers Pete Smith https://www.rare-soul.com

If you can me the time machine to take me back to when I wrote it, then yes!

Can't wait to see if the people who think it's worth more than £300 have a bid on it of course, they've already got it...

I got Gene Robertson's copy so that would also probably have come from the 100 Club. What a great record.
