You know me better than that Ken! Steve G scenario of a carver being played of a very rare disc in order to preserve the original, is perhaps the only admissible exception? You know he has integrity and could produce the original on request. Therefore peace of mind and vfm are intact. Easy to see why some have said "oh ffs just get on with it and play some good sounds whatever" - when we have to dissect and analyze these points under a microscope. Dave Rimmer said I can't play my unreleased carver of 'Someday the sun will shine' because I wasn't the first one to pay big money for it. He has a point and my point is look how anal we're capable of being with regards this sort of thing. Yet still we should strive to have standards for the reason stated by Joan above.

Yet to see anyone say "I play boots and I don't care who know's it".. It's a RARE soul scene. Boots and pressings aren't rare. You pay to listen to rare records that the dj's have paid a lot of money for. Pay to get in and hear boots and you've had your money taken under false pretenses. I'd want a refund and then I'd want to leave.

Don't sell the Tommy Front Mikey, hang on to it. Pete's right about the grading info. Would be helpful. I'll sort that avatar out for you in the week if you like?

Poor old Smokey couldn't sh*g his way to the top, so he just named his kids after them.

That's the cred one. Got a clip of an early one by her and the suprems at work. Always loved 'come see about me' fond of 'stoned love' & plenty of others. Gordy love certainly took her and Marvin's career's to the top of the Motown pile.

Well you are Mr chattahoochee Tom! Clanger posted this as a want the other day and have been after one meself for some time. Don't blame you for keeping it mate. Top tune.

Couldn't find this mate. Do you have an item No?

We'll argue about it after MOTD if you like? Seriously, if there was a salient point you've previously made that flies in the face of my well reasoned posting, I'd like to here about it. Again.

Bootleg doesn't just apply to the record. It extends to the DJ, his/her set and also taints (at the least) the venue they are DJ'ing at, if that's what they're playing to the paying punter. PAYING punter can't be over-emphasized for the point of this principal imo. For if you go to a local do at a pub function room, it's free to get in, then there's not too much to complain about I wouldn't think. Pay £8, or a tenner in a venue that there's a couple of hundred people at and that's a whole different vegetable.

Moving to Box section.

Wow is that what this goes for now?

Nice one.

In an orange dress! What a guy. He did that number (Freedom) at Woodstock. Not that I was there or owt.. Above version of 'I Can't make It' not his best, but the album only version is spot on imo.

Bit trick with no Refosoul search ...

Interesting.. £80 for the boot!!?? Tough one. As said need an owner of an orig to give up stamp / deadwax info - but as not strictly mainstream (?) answers/owners ... tumbleweeds.. Dave Crabtree has a Belgian re-issue. I've seen them on Ebay before. That one on there now is a boot I reckon and I don't doubt others have bought boots that they thought were real one's.

Was over in Hertford the other week and there was a Talk of the South dvd playing - ( the one with the close up of Ginger playing the Salvadors ) Cash waiting.

Clanger you are a wag! They are identical. Well almost, but on the real one the N in Washington is almost off the label, not so on the boot. Have arxed before about deadwax stamps - alas no info.. "on the real one the N in Washington is almost off the label, not so on the boot". Although I'm not entirely sure, only those one's look more real? Bidded on one and missed a while back and Johnny Fingers (a good while back mind), had a vg plusser for about £220. As said, asked before for more clarification on stamps & deadwax info to no end. Popcorn Mod Tough Cheese. Top tune though .. "My heart is heavy, my step is slow".

Badger, lol.. One on Ebay at the minute, but I think it's the boot. Looks awfully new.. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ERNIE-WASHINGTON-LON...1QQcmdZViewItem Item number: 220189447903

Chattahoochee Beware of the Belgian identical boot!

PMSL!

People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears.. I need you, need you Since you left me if you see me with another girl Seeming like I'm having fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one.. So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears.. I need you, need you Outside I'm masquerading Inside my hope is fading Just a clown oh yeah Since you put me down My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you.. So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears William 'Smokey' Robinson Jr.

Aye meaning - avoid ..

mobbsy had one of these a week or so back. Think Ebay one's are all 9.99 'Buy It Now' boots.
