There are a couple of great Lp topics on here somewhere. One was LP only tracks and another LP recommendation topic. Maybe one of the mods can find them for you.

I know your not rocking it mate. just saying Butch featured it a fair bit. But top DJ's have always influenced what others DJ's go out and buy. Shame some of those DJs don't go looking for some of the cheapies and goodies out there.

He's played it more than once and it's a US acetate he has and a different take I think to the UK release.

Yes getting confused here Dave, up to early I think. Need some sleep I have the Jimmy Radcliffe cd. Hi son was something to do with it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-Theres-Smoke-Fire/dp/B000XLQG3Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372408300&sr=8-1&keywords=Jimmy+Radcliffe

Dean Parish, did this not make it to cd?

Oops...

Most definitely. I try and source everything in the UK nowadays it even with the increase in postage it can be cheaper to purchase from the US, particularly LPs. This and the fact many US sellers now declare the value means we get hit at customs as well.

It can take years for a record to eventually make it "big" nationwide or shall I say gain exposure to a wider audience. One of the records you mentioned which you claimed to be a Burnley sound and not an oldie was played many years before by at least two other Dj's and in that respect is a bit of an oldie and was widely known by those who attended the 100 Club, Lifeline and other venues the two said Dj's appeared. Was it Cliff who played it at Burnley? He no doubt, knowing Cliff, had it tucked away for years before giving it turntable action. This and the fact it is an obscure and tough to find record make it hard to gain wider exposure on the scene. Butch's Parliaments another example. It wasn't until the likes of Sam and Mick got copies and played it up an down the country that it broke nationwide,I could give other examples but it would be pointless. As for who cares who played what first, many do, I for one like to see respect and credit where it is due. As for playlists most no longer post them not just because they get picked apart but because all the lazy sods then go and hoover up the records listed that said Dj has worked hard to find, put the hours in, if they wanna know what a DJ plays go out and listen to them.

Andy Dyson too...not at the 100 Club mind . They don't mean nothing either Ted

You should finish it Dave. A lot of stories there. Just about read all their is that could shock me so I wouldn't be offended. Real life is far better than fiction. You can publish for free these days via e likes of iTunes and ebooks etc.

What's on the tape Mark? And what year?

I think Gareth s pulling your leg Kirsty. It says in he comments an old Crl Fortnum spin? Like Steve it does sound familar.

Legally? I can never understand why thy release films etc at different times. Been out in the US since March. Does nothing but increase illegal downloading for those that can't get it. I will sky plus it as out Saturday.

On Sky Atlantic on Saturday at 9pm apparently.

It might be the clip I listened to but it sounded like it was recorded in the toilet, not a patch on the original.

If you are looking for a particular record and it is on Discogs it will always be near the top of the search results. You usually get a few choices as well. It is also a great resource with all the details about the recording.

Eddie Daniels on Boots is a tough one, very rare as well.

Why?

Delrays is easy to tell compared to the real one unless of course you don't know the difference but that is the same for any boot, they are all good if you are non the wiser.

I disagree most records, especially common records have a rough price, give or take a bit...but over 50% plus more? When all recent sales (set sales that is) have been less than £60 including a demo, for one to fetch £125 a week or so later says to me someone hasn't done his or her homework or have enough money they can't be bothered to take a few days to look round. Again it's an auction price and maybe the red mist descended on the bidders? I neither want this or have one to sell so have no axe to grind, I'm certainly not jealous. There is a percentage of people distorting the market. Now everyone will want £100 plus for this now when it simply isn't worth it, IMO of course.

Bidds is finally getting refurbished

Sound is ok just not loud enough, I'm deaf so our lass tells me.

Female, she says "fill it with you blue boy" at one stage. I am listening on iPad and sound not great, must get some headphones.

You are probably right but do UK sellers not checkout competition? Almost to a record, very seller outside the UK is cheaper than the UK seller on Discogs. I would much prefer to do my trading in this country but when LP's are twice the price and more than European and US dealers then I will do my buying with them.
