Well Kev - That is an absolutely fantastic record! My tip for this year is this as a friend wants to buy it off me Cold Smoke - Dont fall in Love - DWP records Even the Gasher likes it! Expect it to become a four figure tune One went a year ago for very little money but thats the only copy Ive seen apart from mine!

Superb Tune Dave - I was Plugging it about 5 years ago- Â JUst right for today though!

I have an original Okeh 45 with Water damage to the label the vinyl is VG+ Pm me your offer

Bit expensive that or am I out of touch I sold him one for 20 quid including postage in mint minus cond Good double sider

SOME OF THE EARLY OKEH LIKE BIG MAYBELLES iIVE GOT A FEELIN ARE QUITE HARD ON 45 THEN THE QUESTION IS WHAT ABOUT THE SOUL/RNB 78S DO YOU WANT TO COLLECT THEM AS WELL?

Psychedelic soul - It just made me feel like I was on drugs! I closed my eyes and was in my own little world dancing to it. Maurice Williams Being without you - Pure heaven Ernie Andrews - Fine young Girl - I think I cried the 2 time I heard it - reminded me of a former girlfriend. Another one that hit me was Condition red Ones I didnt like POlice story Joe 90 Tim Tam & turn ons - wait aminute Absolute dross One that I didnt like but do now - is Hapiness in my heart by the California Inn Crowd or Eternal flame

Paul can we have his ebay ID to avoid selling to him Cheers Steve

I gave up Wigan in Early 1980 Â for various reasons. Mr Ms did predominantly play oldies but played relativenew ones as well I remember Spaceark - Do what you can do played in there 3 times in 0ne night. I loved the Ritz in the 70s - Hearing a set with stompers followed by East coast Connection etc The dance floor just was like a springboard - you didnt have to dance you just stood there and the floor did for you.

I may be totally wrong with this but I heard the Funk market is rife with Bootlegs. Nev Its not paranoia ! Cos I dont care as Im never gonna buy another record for collecting. However Chalky & Boa are right when saying The whole record fraternity wouldnt be fooled or they would suss it pretty quick - Yes the Anoraks would but others may be driven on by the Euphoria of having ! therefore I said it only needs a few to buy for it to make enough money  to be very viable for the bootlegger! 10 copies at $1000 a time is enough. They dont tend to turn up all at once they are dripped for obvious reasons both financially and to decieve the theory of rarity. I know this might not happen but what if someone came on here and said categorically that he witnessed FRederick HYmes or The Royal Esquires  being pressed up 10 years ago knowing the damage cannot be reversed. I wonder if the reaction would be "OH SHit" If it did I think the rare soul collecting scene would have a deep recession! This is the reason for the bootlegger to keep Stum!

I assume that was done in laughter Dave! WE can be so childish sometimes  cant we! at least its in Jest!

Boba - Its just a range of stories that can be used to fool anyone- Are you telling me you never made a mistake with the authenticity of a record. I was brought with records from about 3 years old coming from a music family and working for a record company Djing collecting, making demo tapes etc etc and yet even I have been fooled in the past even in the Last 10 years. But yes even stamps can be made to punch burn indent into the matrix - Theres companies in the US who actually advertise to do special one offs. ( Chasing tools) Maybe some will make mistakes when they do attempt counterfitting but the more practice they get the better they get at it. and given access to technology now in my view its easier because of the greater variations. They can attepmt on less numbers now than they could in the 70s as you had to purchase a set number of blanks or presses of the record. so just buying 2 or 5 or ten they will not be financially disadvantaged with each attempt until they get it right. Unless you have absolute provenance you can never say never - Thats my opinion Ask some famous antique dealers if they have ever been fooled and 99% of them will say yes. and even recently. I think the problem with me saying this is like asking the question " Is their a God" Nobody can disprove it or the other side of the coin - nobody can prove it untill they see with their own eyes!

Well its sold! so there! nah nah nah nah nah

Notice Sebastien I said scratched in matrix but even fine tools can be made - (Stamps) Pressing plants in the Us are not like they used to be - When I met Peter Brown in New York 5 years ago he enlightened me as to how records are pressed today and that is why I can say It can be done. So If PB of PAP or P&P records of the 70s says it can be done it can IMO! I suppose I should win Millions of pounds then I dont have to work and make it my mission to prove you wrong! Oh maybe someone has done it already! P.S. Look at your statement - "do not get conned easily" - but they do otherwise you would say they dont get conned full stop! You also state "Fooling a lot of people" - That suggests some have or will and at $1000 a time you dont have to fool too many as you can get the records pressed up in batches of 5 or 10 or how ever many you need to!
