Oh it's bad then!

Mixed bag really John - I got all the 45s, but apart from the ones you mentioned nothing really stood out. Might need to re-listen to em before someone tells me there s a killer deep soul 45. IS this CD a legit job - properly mastered - or just some bods who dubbed on all the 45s?

But he's not on here, so go on.....

Think you bought Rylett down once as well.

One of the barbara hall's? DJ Duck Bill Platter-Spinner

Never heard of it . I like all the Richard Marks ones on Tuska though. He's a mate of Bill Wright's too. DJ Duck Bill Platter-Spinner

Oh is he the guy that did the CD that everyone was raving about? Thought Simon was on a wind up! Regards DJ Duck Bill Platter-player

Oh which one?

Got two maybe 3 - when it warms up I'll venture down to the lock up and have a rummage around Baz

OK I'll check if my alter ego in the Southern Hemisphere has one - DJ Duck Bill Platter-spinner.

now you are making it up Simon .....or is he a US guy?

Sam does have it - think he paid lots for it Doesn't Andy Dyson also have it?

I think he spent up in Manchester and was still broke Remember going to Rob Smith's Madhouse in Hurts Yard.....yes that was just you and I then. Saw Rob Smith last at Lifeline - he hasn't changed. No hair now but otherwise the same.

They are all proper, but there were one or two things that didn't get sold at the time unissued acetates

Well that would certainly focus the mind I thought your namesake - The Dearglove was the first out of the traps with it at Yarmouth? It's all very hazy now - to be truthful it was all very hazy back at the time....but I know those Yorkshire boys would never throw anything at Rod - they were on their prayer mats doing "bows" in front of him I really can't stand true Image either, but let's not completely hijack Trevski's thread......I also got some bargains out of the Afflicks Palace stall - came along with Sammy several times. Gavin can't remember did you come along with me and Mick the Con when we went to that record fair in Manchester and the M1 was snowed in? It was just after Xmas one year. I know there were three in the car - Mick the Con was there, because he bought one record for £3, and I thought what a waste of a day for him (it took ages to get there and back - one record - £3 ) - but I cannot remember who the 3rd person was.

If I post up Gonzalez "Haven't stopped dancing yet" you can sing the words of True Image over the top of it

You should see me when I am angry then had a bad day, that's all.

Geordie they gave up trying to track down these old artists years and years ago - I repeat the money from listings goes to the artists in the current chart NOT all the obscurios that gets played everywhere. It's unfortunate but true, unless someone can tell me that the system has completely changed in the last 5 years, which I doubt. So your 100th of pennies don't make the original writers etc. they line the pockets of todays top 40 artists. You still want me to write them all down and submit them?

And herein lies another urban myth. The one that says that you fill out these forms and cheques for 15p go winging their way across the Atlantic to the needy soul heroes. Sorry it's not like that.....The reality last time I checked was that ALL of the proceeds were divied up amongst the great and the good in that particular weeks top 20. So the Spicey Girls etc get the dosh and poor old Sam Williams still gets diddley squat.

The CD has several GREAT tracks on it - I have had it on in the car for several trips to and from Summer Set. Deffo one of my favourite jazz CDs of 2007

OK fair enough if people want to make a donation. But I thought these dudes were emailing people who'd bought records off of ebay etc, asking for money. If I have read that wrong, then fine, I'd be delighted. I think everyone who knows anything about the music biz knows it has always attracted shall we say the "entrepreneurial spiv type" who is big on promises, but when it comes to paying "their" artists, short on greenbacks.

Blimee you lot . Surprised none of you have suggested cleaning your rare vinyls with swarfega and sandpaper yet....Martin was closest with his 'wet and dry'....

Hi Jim most artists don't have stock on their old records, they're long gone. I am struggling to think of a single artist that has suffered from "lost fame / sales etc" as a result of their work being covered ups in the last 10 years? As for Dean Parrish, nothing like that would hit the charts these days....I could see it happening in 1975, not now.

Yes it was bootlegged like this (black and white) in 1977. I remember seeing an original at WIgan, so I coloured in the red bits to make my boot look like an original This was obviously just before I saw the evils of bootlegging and went to OVO.
