Cut me in on the commission Rod and I'll have 50% of those sold by tomorrow

So you all hate pressings and bootlegs but bootleg cd's are fine. I see.

Anglo had so many Betty Lloyds that if you ordered something and it was out of stock, they'd put that in as a replacement and hope you'd keep it, I got one instead of a Jimmy Seals when JS was about £70, Betty came down to as low as £30 at one point, must be £200 again now.

Rufus Lumley on Reo, that was a rare one I practically gave away didn't realise how rare it was...

I'd have said less than £100, more like £75 - £80 but what do I know... hardly a rarity. Stock copy, easy £200

Isn't this freebasing? Sorry, it's in all about the soul, I apologise to everyone concerned.

Jolly good

Well it does.

LOL I will use that one myself

I tell you what would make a fantastic instrumental - Our Love Is In The Pocket (Darrell Banks / JJ Barnes) I mean you can't top the vocal versions but it would be briliant to hear; that one on Kool Kat is about the closest I've heard to one.

That is a terrible wig she's wearing, when she does Special Agent later in the program the wig slips

It was linked to the conversation of how many records would be pressed during a run of bootlegs. Thanks to you and your likers for your brilliant contributions to thread anyway. Where there any?

That's a great version on Stateside, it's the one taken from the This Is Ska film, very hard to find and more punchy than the Island one.

What about the punters, the people who've come to dance, they'll vote with their feet so your anger is pointless if they like the previous blokes choices.

Ah but there is one rare one on Black Magic unavailable elsewhere - instrumental of Sweet Darlin!

It's interesting and you never know where a bit of knowledge could come in useful.

No...

Fortunaterly a lot of these audio tapes are available from fans sites to download nowadays. I saw 13 shows on the Glass Spider tour (all but one were rubbish!) and I recorded every show, but as I say, the ex wife got all the Bowie stuff.

Not sure if he did the Rich Kids but he kept putting out dodgy 45's like the one you quote above (Justifiable Homicide) and the Ex Pistols, I think he did the Cash Pussies record as well with the voice of Sid Vicious on it. He put out a brilliant dvd about 5/6 years back, no Pistols music but fantastic behind the scenes stuff. He died a couple of years ago.

First press of Spunk is rare, you probably know this but they were actually done by Dave Goodman who produced the sessions, he put it out before NMTB was released.

Yeah it was a worldwide network back then, if you managed to get a tape no-one else had you could get fantastic trades, I remember someone giving me his own recording of Bowie as Ziggy at the Top Rank in Hanley 1973, I got about £500 worth of vinyl trades for a cassette, I also used to have a mate who would copy things from the BBC vaults, most have now been reshown but I had a lot of TOTP which still hasn't been rebroadcast - I lent those out and never got them back.

Was it Swinging Pig? Those were European, I think they were Scandinavian.

Things like No Future UK and Wembley Wizard were actually pressed by the BPI, No Future UK was originally called Spunk, Wembley Wizard was originally called Don't Touch That Dial and was a Japanese bootleg, I did have that but it is ultra rare as opposed to the Wizard one. I've only ever seen that one copy in the flesh. I'd have thought they must have pressed at least 1000 of those each (No Future & Wembley)

This is a second family so it's a second chance for me...
