BIZARRE!! Where they from? and how the hell do they produce that big Detroit sound with a couple of guitars and a trombone? Or is it all coming from the Technics 1200 that the guy at the back is playing about with? And if it is whats on the turntable?

Just been listening to that Frank Popp - Hip Teens 45, and think that backing track is awesome. The intro is Edward Hamilton's I'm gonna love you, but then it changes, anybody know where the rest of it comes from ?

Yes thats deffo a boot

Billy, The original has a STAMPED matrix UK 4m 1257 Hope that helps. Phil.

Mega rare 45 that is Grant. Richard Watt from Carlisle has it and always plays it for us when he DJ's for me at the Burnley Allnighters. Top drawer tune.

RIGHT ON !!!!!!

Mik, I'd just like to say that I have agreed whole heartedly with everything you have written on this subject. And you have expressed yourself very eloquently, and so much better than my feeble attempts..... I look forward to meeting you at Middleton, and would be pleased to buy you a drink.... Best regards, Phil.

Many thanks that's brilliant.

Can anyone help me find the link to the Keb Darge interview that was on this site a while back. I've just got a new pc and I've lost all my favourites. Thanks, Phil.

Yes Dave, I had one that was mint and not a blemish on the label either. I think it came from Soul Bowl, £150 if my memory serves. The run out was very small and the matrix numbers were really neatly done. Don't have it now, think it may have gone to John Manship with a box full when I was selling up..... I didn't realise that the issue was rarer, that's why I paid so much for the demo. Great record though, must be a contender for best sax middle eight ever. Best, Phil.

OBSOLUTELY SPOT ON

Well put Mike, that's exactly what I meant to say but I ballsed it up.

Sorry Ken not me this time.

Appologies, Beardsy infered it was a boot. Let's face it genuine re-issues are few and far between. Hands held up.

****ing awesome tune.

And another kindred spirit.

Thank goodness a kindred spirit. Oh no they've not booted the Trannels now have they. Been at the top end of my wants list for quite some time.

Sorry sold it to one of the Greatstone boys for £100 I think, then got one with a rough label but traded it with Cliff [deadwood] Not seen one since then, lovely tune though.

Now that really is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Where do you think the records come from in the first place? Some collector or dj found it, bought it, played it and got it popular. And my guess is they did it so that they could play it out and get people dancing, and yes, make it there own. Why should somebody make an illegal copy off that record and make money off it, and you think that that's OK..... If you take away the magic of exclusivity of the music, then you kill the scene. That's exactly what's happening now. No need to travel to hear the music, just set up your own night playing boots/re-issues & CD's. It's just down the road so I can get pissed and stagger home.... Good luck to you, but not for me. I presume from what you say in your hollier than thou post, that you buy all the cheapest brands of everything, and the money that you saved goes to charity. You must be a saint.

Some good points there Dan and you could well be right. That wasn't a review, that was me saying enough is enough and changing the format and venue. Too much on a Saturday night now, so moved to a friday and changed to an allnighter. Going well at the moment mate, but we'll see what happens Sept 1st.... As for owning the big records being easier now, that's bollocks if you don't mind me saying so. If Ian Levine hadn't had money? and I've heard stories of the big names of the eighties buying all the quality unknowns and making a big name for themselves. It's always been the same, you just see it now because of the inernet. DJ'ing with boots & re-issues to me is a big if you are happy with the scene as it is then I'm happy for you. I aren't and I'm trying to do something about it in my own small way. At least I can say that I tried.

If you just want to play them at home you can get most tunes on CD. If you want to dj you have to make sacrifices. It's like in any other hobby/pastime/sport/passion in life. If you want to play you have to put the effort in. By paying for boots and so called re-issues you are lining the pockets of the business men, and comercialising an underground scene. If you can't afford the big tunes, find the cheap quality 45s like many others do. But DJ'ing with boots/re-issues
