Intros-Stop, Look and Listen
It used to be about £75 give or take. Heard what it went for, barmy. Used to spin it late 80s, good record that was never as big as it maybe should have been during my time.

NEW RELEASES... YOU BUY 'EM?
I did a two hour show at Christmas

NEW RELEASES... YOU BUY 'EM?
You should look out for the Grace Love lp, some far better tracks on it than Fire.

NEW RELEASES... YOU BUY 'EM?
Do you buy limited run even if you don’t like it? Not looking for a debate/argumet etc just interested. I probably did at one time with some labels but now I just buy what I like.

Sheppard Boy - Who is this artist please ?
If I had to take a guess I would lean towards Jesse Thomas. Everything about it suggests a vanity project
- Charade Rotherham

The Servicemen
I’ve been in touch with Larry, he has never heard of the Royal Imperials, Hadley also confirms it is not the Servicemen. Roy C and the Dewdrops was part of the Hadley Murrell family, someone put two and two together and got me thinks, thinking cause it is on Wind Hit it must be the Servicemen 🙄

Striking label resemblance - Jerry Williams - Calla
Slightly slower and added instrumentation if memory serves. Pitch it up +2 and you have same record

Striking label resemblance - Jerry Williams - Calla
The labels are reversed as well

NEW RELEASES... YOU BUY 'EM?
For the purpose of the vote do you mean brand new music or a new release regardless of the year it was made, vintage as you call it, Kent etc?

Prince Shell..Chicago Musician and arranger
The players are all listed on the Lp, that’ll be where the info is taken from. Not sure if they are the same Chevelles on ORR with Cookie Scott, I would assume they are.

Stock/Issue v’s Promo
I’m not certain but I’m sure you cannot press as many demos as you want. You can do a certain percentage of the stock copies is what I think I read a long time ago. The likes of RCA probably pressed the issues but if they didn’t hit/sell they probably recycled the vinyl. They would also send out demos nationwide hence the number compared to the lack of issues. If you look at smaller local independant labels demos are more than likely to be a lot more scarcer than issues. Some releases may not have got passed the promotional stage.

The Best Record Ever Played By Soul Sam
I don’t think Margaret Little was Sam first, Mark Speakman if memory serves. Dynamics was a Gavin Page spin back in the early 90s, long before any mentioned here.

OVO
I want to listen to rare soul, be it on an actete, local release, national release or an Lp. I don’t wish to hear reissues from years later or bootlegs. I’ve Djed countless times too and I’ve never been asked do I play OVO, nor have I ever asked that of any promoter or DJ, you just know the score when you are around the scene. Why do we need the rules when as a promoter you are booking the right people, why the need to tell everyone you are an OVO event. The vast majority already knw the score the rest couldn’t give a monkey.

OVO
Its a pop at anyone who says different tbh, no one in particular. I was simp,y quoting what you said.
-
OVO
But it is ‘t though is it, it is justba few idiots spouting off on social media, some using the term on their flyer for some sort of credibility. Most couldn’t give a sh*t, that includes your serious collectors and Djs. Most support the venues who do it how it should be done without being told some silly rule. You only have to read topics like this to see that most either haven’t a clue what they are on about or cannot agree on whatbthe criteria for such a rule should be. As I said just go out and enjoy the music, support those who you know care and do it right and smack those who spout silly rules round the head with a bootleg or two 😜

OVO
Any one who plays the MGM, their reputation would be solid, except for some fuck wit in a dark corner who it seems hasn’t got a clue.
-
OVO
There you go complicating a simply situation, any LP, local, national release, any company reissue within a reasonable time period is original release. I wouldn’t play a reissue if a first press there or even the acetate personally. Anyone who says a national releae isn’t original and ok to play needs to give their head a good wobble.

OVO
Again I doubt there is one venue anywhere that sticks strictly to this stupid rule.
