Hi mate, The POTA has been around years, Kenny Burrell used to play it covered up, he was disappointed when he played it for me and I told him what it was The vocal is terrible but then again so is the instrumental

Pete Smith posted about these t'other day. Nothing safe.

Thanks Bob, much appreciated (not forgetting Sean as well).

I mailed them asking why and they said it was done in error and the copyright removed and any strikes against my account removed. I asked thm what their criteria was for but waiting for a reply. It would appear they simp,y cross reference titles with amazon as I had the same, Hook Line and Sinker (title of the podcast) can or may be bough on amazon.

I put one of my podcasts in a folder, shared it, worked fine. After a few minutes mediafire copyrighted the file and denied permission for anyone to listen.

Signed up for free, if I can share individual files will be an answer to migrating Stafford Story from web to a blog with downloads? Website bit expensive now.

does the link show as a player with media fire? 10gig free is pretty good, even the pro with 1TB of storage for $25 is really good deal.

In answer to the question probably a bit of both but the amount of knowledge that is just a question away on the internet is phenomenal. There is really no reason whatsoever for either getting ripped off or paying over the odds, well not too much anyway. Those that do pay a premium price, some that I know do have knowledge so can only assume they are too lazy to look around and have too much money.

Maybe Dropbox. Create a sharing folder and add the link

Great memorablilia btw. Any for sale?

Which Hamilton Movement did they sell as a new release? The more common cheaper track or She's Gone?

The last couple few I've seen have all been around the price I mentioned above. It has never really turned up apart from the first batch back in early 2000's. 5k for an unplayed copy is pretty good these days when you compare recent prices with the last few all around $6k mark.

His website has probably had 100's of extra views because of topics like this. It would appear he's not as daft as his prices are at times

The last one on ebay was ove $4000. One on JM auction was nearer £3000 but I guess when people want these kinda records they must miss recent sales prices

Yes it is a great list of records and would satisfy most DJ's and dancers alike even today.

Looking at the list again and the only one that was a newie in the 90's would be the Poets, Yarmouth first time heard it I think, around that time, 90/91. The rest had as far as I can tell been around some time come the 90's.

All of those tracks were what we considered oldies by the 90's, especially the late 90's as suggested. Not one was a 90's discovery, all appear to be late Wigan/Stafford era plays.

Why not ring the company?

Ivor, the Metros/Joe Buckman is the same track according to the notes but Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler for some reason saw fit to release it as by Joe Buckman. Listening it is clearly a group effort. Maybe the tapes were not labelled correctly? Maybe Lorraine can shed some light as to the reasons if she reads this.

I'm glad someone takes notice of what I write Hopefully Ady will Seriously though superb compilation. I too am also looking forward to the next instalment from Doré. Some great material surfacing through Ace/Kent.

It isn't quite as simple as that, and I guess you know that too, other wise we wouldn't keep having these "debates". If it was simply what is in the groove that counts then we wouldn't give a fig what format was being played.

I have to agree. There is no creativity in playing mp3's or compilation cd's, unless download or the CD is the original format and any argument that is contrary to this is like Martyn says complete b*llocks! The originality, creativity and imagination comes from hours sifting through records, listening, comparing, taking pride in what you are doing. Yes it is about the music and any other scene the format doesn't matter but this scene was, is and will always be about the record that contains that music. It is an elitist scene, it is what has made it so great and kept it real for 50 years. People playing CD's, well there really is no need for playing anything other than the original format. After all there is a plethora of people out there who are more than capable of doing so so why settle for anything less. If you can't do it right leave it to those that can, simply go a sa punter and enjoy the music. As I said earlier the only saving grace is some might see that there is more to this than mp3's and look to those who keep it real. And 40 quid to sit on your arse.....what's that all about? You'd be struggling to find a table near the stage at Cleethorpes.

I take it the ST Ives promotion is Cornwall and not Cambridgeshire? Maybe he should be paid a visit on his next promotion
