It's an Atlantic recording so no doubt be in their vaults. Be good if someone could get in there and look and maybe release a from the vaults type CD as have been done for quite a few artists who recorded for Atlantic, Atco etc.

A few shows for you all to catch up on, been a bit slack here of late. Enjoy. Last three weeks, all great shows....

I agree but in my experience not many promoters put the security of the decks and the Dj first, nearly all are accessible by anyone. They should be a no go area tbh, especially given the value up there.

You’d still have your near mint copy of Tobi Legend if you hadn’t bothered Thats the risk we have all taken and with far more expensive and far far rarer records than Tobi Legend. If you don’t want to take that risk don’t do it, plenty who will with real records. Plenty with great records who don’t get booked. What is wrong these days just going along and having a night out as a punter why does everyone want to Dj. Just having the records doesn’t make anyone a Dj.

No excuse for playing a boot. If you use that analogy you may as well use a laptop with legit downloads or cds, at least rights are paid and the illegal boots are cut out.

The revival was a few more years later than 91 in my opinion, there was still a healthy crowd of us and the early Cleethorpes were still pretty much hardcore. Kings Hall etc wasn't till a few years later. As I said what I am covering or what I covered was the Northern Scene and the up north Weekenders weren't although some was featured and many off the Northern Scene dod attend but they were by and large moving that way any way and it wouldn't nee long before many would leave the Northern behind. It wasn't an objection and there was nothing sinister for not covering upnorth. Like I said I only had so many words and I exceeded my limit as it was, I couldn't cover everything within the limitations I had. Hopefully if I ever get round to expanding on it or even the book then it will get covered to some degree.

The link.....

I’ll take it

Sad news. R.I.P. Chris.

Life’s not too short, play your boots but advertise the fact. I do not want to travel anywhere and pay good money to hear a fake Dj. I don’t pay with monopoly money so I expect the real thing. If you cannot do it right then go back into the hole you crawled out of, more than enough Djs out there who can do it right. By buying boots you are supporting crime and depriving people out of their rightful dues, licence and rights owners, artists, somgwriters etc.

Lee Roye "tears" was from Burlington, New Jersey. There is another topic somewhere about him. Not a lot known but Kev Roberts knew some who knew him.

There are 100s of em, the can’t afford the originals excuse is just bollox

It’s on one of Guys podcasts on my site, well part of it is.

yes of course typo But side by side most weren't even nearly dunno, there was 4 prosecuted other year and sentenced, there is a topic on here somewhere

They only got caught out because they hadn't seen them in the flesh, they were sussed as soon as seen.

Technology will not make up for the products once used that can no longer be obtained. Paper is hugely different, as are paints/inks and the plastic. It will get harder but they will be caught out.

And there is absolutely no need to book a fake Dj for any promotion. More than enough who have real records and more than enough who will do it for nowt 🙄😜

I have asked several times who these djs are, think I got two names for a venue in west midlands. I have even asked for their names via PM if people do not wish to say anything and I will give their names out publicly, again nothing. Until they are named and shamed we will never get anywhere and the market will always flourish its not just Djs supporting these bootleggers, plenty of collectors too. Ebay is rife with them, takes forever to sort the crap from the real stuff.

Wonder if using .com means you have to pay as well? Think I will stick with .co.uk.
