Issue 2 and 3 both the right way....... Beatin Rhythm Issue 2.pdf Beatin Rhythm Issue 3.pdf Many thanks mate, enjoying reading these. Thanks to Pete as well, never had these BITD.

It is absolutely terrible Martyn

It's only a week after Cleethorpes.

I've a crappy connection in this truck stop. Will have a listen tomorrow and add what I can.

This Is The Day is the Inmates on Kopit.

I Really Got My Sight On You is Mary Johnson "These Tears". Go On And Laugh is Butch's Just Brothers, acetate only.

Yes. Some the odd one or two will know.

If you have a spare I'll give you £25 Steve

Most of the topics on any forum can be avoided with a quick google. But some just hear that such and such is playing such and such and common sense seems to disappear out the window, along with prices. Some just pray on the idleness of some just like insurance companies, hoping people won't go to go compare and just take their word

The trouble is you don't see these guys on the so called shop floor, they don't really have a clue what is happening as far as DJ's and current in demand spins is concerned apart from word of mouth and what someone who wishes to sell them something tells them. You see it with the blurb/spin on many sales items.

Bobby Bennett seems to be dropping in price. Shirley Johnson, not bad for Stax B side fodder Richard Marks, great record, great price too IMO. Been a spin for Andy Dyson and Cliff Steele over the years.

And it probably says made in england on it as well. It wouldn't say Spyder Turner on it if original studio acetate either. If you'd given the full info to begin with you'd have your answer straight away. As Trev said it is a boot/emidisc someone has had knocked up.

I agree name and shame if you are certain who the culprit is and then no other promoter or punter should have to worry about him.

That's my reading for the week. Brilliant Sean, many thanks.

Thanks Sean and Mike , much appeciated. Really is a part of the scene that needs preserving. wonder if any of the more recent articles were done in word and can be quickly converted, Soulful Kinda Music, Manifesto etc etc.

Shocked to hear this. R.I.P. Helena.

Nice one Mike

Looks a little blurry but when I stretch it out it looks ok' could be my failing eye sight though. Is there any way increasing the upload limit (Mike) to enable increased quality? But once again many thanks for tis Sean, greatly appreciated.

Here is Dean's set in its entirety from July 1998. https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/bishop-auckland-rugby-club-july-1998-dean-anderson/

£4k plus should be the price for a really rare record, not just a DJ's got to when dance floor empty type record. It is yet more proof that far too many have too much spare cash. I agree what they spend it on is up to them but surely some common sense has to return to record collecting at some point?

I thought the original was solid black? The boot I had late 80's/early 90's was brown see through with the date stamp. I know the dealer who paid top dollar and who sold them to him lol, he gave him the money back though

I've just transferred an Andy Rix set to the PC George, the first night there I think. Will post it later.

Great Andy Rix set I've just copied to the PC btw.

Pleasure Col, great to hear them again. Really was some great music played back then. Tip my hat to you and Al and a few other promoters who swam against the tide of mediocrity that was engulfing the scene back then

Spot on Kev, see through brown vinyl for the first boot.
