Yes Bloody Laziness more like Did you flog the Magicians- Wouldnt mind acopy of that Cheers Steve 07899658590

Are you telling me DJs in England play reissues/Boots etc in thier set? We have a saying in Aberdeen as in the Film Leon "No Boots , Acetates or re-issues"

The best record in the world - And richie says it sounds like my mothers records!

Just amessage to all -happy new year & I am telling you its got to better than this one was (2004) Was going to Edingburgh tonight to a soul thing but will stay up in Aberdeen Might go to the thing on the 2nd Best wishes to all and thanks for the entertaining and informative chat, which brightened up my year in the last 3 months Cheers Steve

No- but It was a means to stop bootlegging as well as trying to outdo other DJs

I spent a whole day driving back from the Ritz with my mate spending considrable time telling me Butch has found another copy of the cover up he has and that everyone will clamber for it. If its that bloody rare then why keep it covered up. Someone who purcahses this will have spent a tidy sum and if its that rare then uncover it otherwise some bright spark will eventually find it and it could be soon and then the person who bought the cover up :angry: will feel cheated. Cover ups in the 70s were more for stopping the bootleggers IMO but in the year 2004 surely we have grown up a bit. Yes Its ok to find new sounds but it feels like some DJs are treating their audiences as Children! (Sorry Ill put my dummy back in!)

Agree about 2005- Off to New York for first time so that should be fun. Highs- Seeing my baby daughter growing up Lows- Having to fight a custody battle just to get to see her The Ritz on Boxing Day- dissapointed!

The adventurers- Easy Baby , As KR said in his book this is comin at yer like a train - And I couldnt get off!

Well I like this debate because you get a different perspective than the book which in IMO is half truth. I had a brief fling with pressing up 45s and it was rife and everyone including the cats bollocks was trying to do it. Mind you what Im more interested in is IF your handle is BIG BOY - then what were you doing at the back of the stage at Wigan with you know who!

Did you hear that instrumental version of "Do I love YOU" on a recent MOD cd- God it is awful!

This ones apromo copy and is heavy vinyl and the label is Purple and white not Purple & silver. Hey if Petes got one I want it- only if it orig! Im going off to cry!boohoo!

Oh Crap- Looks like gruel on xmas day paid far too much for it. Says its £40 in JMs

Is it ok just to describe a record without any reference to Reissue or Boot or Iam not sure! being in the description for a 45. I bought I need you- Diane Jenkins of a guy in Uk off ebay - He just put Ineed you- Diane jenkins - Creative funk records with the grading I received it and went -"Hold on there" this does not look like an original. What do you think ! I knoe the story about the record being made up at Mr levines request after Tow away a zone but this really does not look right. MR manship does not list it in his bootleg guide , he does not have a "b" next to it in his price guide. I cannot make up my mind to send it back! Your advice would be most welcome

Fair effort Pete- Still think, 8'oclock- Total eclipses is the best string/brass instrumental.

It has to be - Fine young Girl - Ernie Andrews Remember Steve McWilliam from Blackpool having acopy that was burnt and made an awful noise as it went round . "Eyes so pretty and a dog gone pity that theres only one of her and she happens to be mine- Let me tell you shes Fine, Fine - Fine" Got my copy from Nancy who was in Sacramento at the time- She sent it to me as a present as I had split with the wife after 10 years of marriage but the record actually reminds me of Beverly Griffiths who was my girlfriend back in the 70s.

Are you asking me to believe you have never sold a record for a profit in your life? I never new Competition came out on Atco thought it was Action uk and Backbeat for US & Canada. Keep using the chest expander it might lead to other parts!

Your right about John Weston- I should have nicked his box when he stayed with me in Aberdeen recently-OOOOOOOOOH baby I believe Im losing YOU! (Its Ok If John sees this he will understand)

Cheers Mike Matta baby is IMO very rare- even Pete says hes only seen 3 copies So is it that price cos its shite! Pink & Perky do James Brown (actually I love it) Plyaers 4 in Manship is £150 I think

Hi I would like if poss a copy of Cant lose my head- George Blackwell on white label and the same for Marsha gee - Baby I need you. These were pressed in the late 70s

Cheers Mike Players 4 - two of us - Knoll Lord Luther- My mistake- Shireck Meadow- You bring me pain - Fine (still waiting to arrive from USA) Tobi Lark-Hapiness is here- Topper Matta baby- Do the pearl Girl - Penny

ER! Hello! That driving beat- Willie mitchell which was released first?

Try telling it to Bob Marleys kids or Rolan Bolan- Humans are opportunistic bastardos arnt we all! when was the last time you bought a record and sold it for more- Dont suppose you thought of giving any of the profit to who you are championing

Hi- I spoke to Pete last week about prices of records and he said he had taken both guides and took the middle ground. Do you think the Yanks will get the TB one and start advertising the middle ground or will they just follow the most expensive listing. I havent seen the New one yet(TB) whats it like eg whats the difference in prices- some examples would be nice to help me consider to buy it.

If were talking hes a big DJ cos moneys no problem then its got to be only one man "Keith Money" HEeHEE!

I think if John put up the list of bidders like it is on ebay it might dispel the obvious worry of nepatistic bidding if you get what I mean
