Pete S

So presumably S= stereo and M = mono?

You don't think it could be a previously undocumented boot do you? It's 100% definitely stereo.

Cheers Roger...run off details on this one are: CK 1979 A 14784 then what looks like SW if looking from the label outwards, the W joins the S to make it look like it's saying STU!

Thanks Jerry. Anyone else got one they can play?

TONY CLARKE - LANDSLIDE - CHESS 1979 ORIGINAL. I was going to list one of these today so I played it to see how it sounded and to my surprise it was in stereo. Now obviously I remember the UK reissue being in stereo but I don't ever remember hearing a US stereo copy, unless I just didn't pick up on it. So can anyone else check their copies and see if theirs is in stereo or if anyone has any info as why Chess would have issued a stereo 45 back then I'd be interested. Ta.

It was a huge record in late 77 - Russ, Richard and Keith M all played it. It's a great version! And funnily enough, I have the original 1966 acetate of this for sale on my list today

I bought a copy of this off Mick Smith yesterday because I couldn't remember ever having one before, and he also said he'd probably only ever had a couple...aren't most copies I'm Gonna Miss You on both sides? I dunno, anyway the point is, I was shocked to see it only rated £30 in the latest price guide, thought it must be worth £50. What do the panel think?

Rob, I'd take them but can't do it completely blind

I wasn't making a case for morals, I was stating a fact that the person who presses them makes more than the person who sells them, I didn't say it was a good thing, bad thing, or indifferent thing, you just read into it whatever you wanted and started mouthing off, I had nothing better to say than YAWN because you're like a stuck record, heard it a thousand times before. Oh, and p.s. you could find out who did these bootlegs in about 20 minutes if you really wanted to

What you starting on me for, I'm not making them or selling them, go find out who is and bend their ears instead, and you De-to. Or ring Mick Smith up and tell him he's a bootleg selling tw*t and see what sort of response you get.

Yawn

I heard Razzy "I hate hate" today for the first time in countless years and while it was on I had a brainwave, I thought how much better this would be if it had the guitar riff from "Tighten Up" by Archie bell & The Drells all over it...I'd do it if I knew how but if anyone is good at these sort of things, why not have a go? Please?

Er...actually there's a big difference, manufacturer makes 5 times more than the seller. If you want to ask Mick about his policies you're welcome but at every record fair he has a hundred or so pressings and reissues as do most people.

I'm in a really bad mood today mate, sorry. Meanwhile...listen, let me put a scenario to you, let's say Butch decides that the next record he is going to revive will be Cut Your Motor Off by Black Nasty. All of a sudden, will it become a new top sound for everyone and jump up to a hundred quid overnight just because Butch played it? This is the problem, The Flairs, The Dealers, these are just not rare records, they may be good but they are not worth anything. So after 3 spins, Cut Your Motor Off is now worth £100 and all the divs and sheep are after a copy. Anyone with any knowledge knows it's worth no more than 10 or 15 quid. And thats why 'we' can't accept The Dealers will be anything but an around-in-quantity box filler.

Didn't you know Dave, it's suddenly become super rare and all the top dj's have got to have copy or people will laugh at them even more than they do for paying more than twenty quid.

It's you who's losing it mate. OK, have you ever heard of Mick Smith, long standing record dealer and dj. I asked him this morning if he could sell me a copy of The dealers and he says what do you want that crap for, so I said was just asking, he said ok whats that, 15 quid? I said yeah, it should be. I repeat, anyone paying more than £30 for it needs to sort their life out.

I nearly got beat up for wearing one when I was 15, before I'd actually been to Wigan, so yes, the police should come down heavily on them and slap them all in jail in my opinion.

It is if you're clueless (not you - the bidders)- topic about this £5 soul pack record elsewhere

So it was ok for that guy who bought some medals and joined a military parade last year to do what he did, hadn't actually been to the place where he was supposed to have earned the medals, he just liked them as memorabilia. He got fined.

You're right, Johnny Howard was always pretty scarce but it was under £100.

If you're a Chelsea fan and you go into a Tottenham pub and shout "Chelsea are the greatest", what response would you expect? likewise if you tell died in the wool Northern Soulies of 40 years standing that YOU know exactly what the future of NS is, and it's a 2 year old recording, then you should know whats coming!

What about that Nicole Willis "If this ain;t love", obviously aimed at the dancefloor but fabulous in evey way, I thought it was a pure 60's track when I first heard it. Even the big pop names doing retro, most notably Amy Winehouse, Charlene Spiteri, Tom Jones - I liked all of those as well. I do like this stuff. I just don't like people being insulted because THEY don't, it's soulophobia!

Yep, close down the forum and let's not comment on anything, it'll be SO interesting..

There's not a chance in a million that this record is worth any more than £30 in the real world,everybody had it in quantity, there must be 5000 copies in the Uk alone. People are like sheep, they can't think for themselves, look at Magicians, Johnny Howard, The Flairs...nothing oldies until Butch plays them then all of a sudden they're top dollar rarities.
