Over a grand...

So they can openly criticise him under their own names on here but he can't make a reference to the people who's slagging him off? Why not?

They are both on World Artists but the boot is a plain yellow label, the original has (from memory) a logo at the side of the label and World Artists opposite it, same with the white demo, also both originals I think are styrene only and the boot is on vinyl

Well it's the wrong colour for a start - should be a greeny blue not a royal blue...and it should be vinyl not styrene.

Tayster - thats fantastic, thanks for the link. I have already created Sex Pistols Radio and Skatalites radio!

It's a bootleg as well!

welcome back sunshine

In your opinion...

76-77 actually but thats not important

Believe me! All the info is in the delta number that you quoted, you can date it almost to the month it was released. Practically all Northern Soul bootlegs have delta numbers in the 90000 and 100000 - 1973 to 1978

Anything I post up here or on a podcast is to share Trev, like I said, I didn't have anything to do with the making of the record and it doesn't belong to me. But I know what you mean and that's very decent of you.

You're wrong Andy, that matrix correctly dates it to the 60's and I've had several vinyl originals

It's all a bit precious isn't it. Asking permission from people who were fortunate enough to find an old track. Did they pay for it to be recorded, pay the session men? Doubt it.

It came out on a promo record with a picture sleeve but unfortunately was only about a minute long. Great bit of music though. p.s. it was circa 1976

Sorry Tim it's just too selective for my liking, not just you, half of em on here, certain people are abovethe law, others are persona non grata. These latest bootlegs, the ones that have been surfacing for about 18 months now, all of the record companies know about them, they weregiven the details of the person doing them, apart from sending out a letter or two I doubt if they have done anything about it...if they have, why are they still appearing regularly? And they are not from the source that most of the early 00's pressings are from

Stand your ground Samm and don't rise to the bait.

Don't see anyone asking John Manship or Tim Brown or me even about selling pressings (bootlegs). Very selective as usual.

Big Maybelle - Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me. Almost makes me cry that one

No...that's an urban myth Eddie

No sorry, disagree. The reason I can hear them time after time is because they are great records. Same as I must have heard I Saw The Light by Todd Rundgren every day for as many years as I can remember. It never gets tiresome. Now, if I were hearing the same records every week at an event, thats different, I'd want to hear fresher records, but I'm not talking about that. If you ask me to list my favourite 100 records, half of them would be post Wigan maybe even post Stafford so it's not a case of staying put with the same old records, I just bought that Voices Inc for example. I do love my favourites though.

nobody is going to tell me that Rose Batiste, Willie Tee, Landslide, Billy Prophet, I'm Your Pimp and so on are not great records just because they are in Kev Roberts book! Doesn't matter how many times you hear them - they are just great records and I could read about them and listen to them for ever basically...well I have been!

I'd pay £50 for a dvd of it, I never saw it!

Have you read the previous two? I absolutely love this book and it's the best Northern book that's been published bar none, I couldn't have done a better job myself and I doubt if any of you lot could either. You all read too much into the fact that someone decided there was a top 500 of Northern sounds and instead of enjoying whats written about the records and the scene, you can't bear it because it doesn't have your choices in there, which would probably be records known to about 20 collectors. If you didn't get into the scene until the 90's then it actually does educate people about sounds. I never went to the Wheel, Torch or Catacombs, I had to find out or be told what records were played there. The book has got f*ck all to do with whats available from Goldsoul. The criticism of it's author is maybe warranted but the criticism of the book is completely unjustified. And no doubt most of the people slagging it off have never even read it.
