As I said in post 2 there was one for $300 on Discogs.......it's now been sold. Just goes to show what a DJ was playing over 20 years ago still has an influence today. Even the sets more interesting than today. -
A DJs responsibility is to the promoter surely? The promoter should do his bloody homework and book the right DJs. He should spell out to the DJ what he is promoting and expecting and the promoter should advertise as such. After that is all done and the DJ is what the promoter wants it should be 1,2,3. Playing an imaginative well balanced set with an emphasis on dancers without the need to resort to tired played out oldies.

Contrary to what has been said before not all the Servicemen are dead. One is still alive and has been touch me. He has given me the names of the others and there was five in the group by all accounts. I am hoping to speak to him this weekend.

There's one on Discogs at $300...I think it's dollars. Pretty rare LP by all accounts.
-
There's loads of programs that will rip the audio from a youtube video, I use a mac so not 100% sure what programs are available but I'm sure someone will tell you. Easy to do, often a case of copying the URL and ripping.
-
An impossible to find one off acetate
-
I think its the Just Brothers Go On And Laugh you re referring to, first record of Butch....
-
At he weekend Patto I will start a topic for 80's flyers, I kept all sorts of rubbish cadged loads more, Stafford etc. will put them in the gallery.

If you get the permission of the rights holder to get a cut done of an unissued cd track then all well and good, it promotes the cd and maybe help generate sales. To get a cut done of a track on an acetate owned by say Butch, Andy D or in this case Carl Fortnum is akin to playing a boot. Being the collector you are Nev you should know and appreciate that.
-
If it exists on an acetate it is no different to owning the only known copy IMO and I would imagine the opinion of the majority of collectors and DJs. If the owner has had some cut and given to others then that is a different matter I guess. But to say it is ok to play when you get a cut done from a dodgy tape recording or something then it's the same as playing a boot IMO.
-
He sold Sam quite a few dodgy acetates, looks the business. I have Rob's Trannels cut at home somewhere. Diane Lewis, know two or three DJs that got a copy, Pete Smith auctioned another one a few years ago, got about £300 for it if I remember rightly.
-
Who has them, he did half dozen as far as I know.
-
Rob never had it. He got a cut done from I believe a tape recording. He wasn't the saint many think he was.
-
It's ok al, knew what it was once I'd heard it but others might not
-
One of the best records I've ever heard.
-
Why not share the info with those who don't know?
-
I'll do them for you? Lonnett is one of my all time favourites, remember it from back then, Guy's Thelma Lavern cover up. She got in touch with Guy over the summer btw.
-
Are you gonna get those tapes digitised and on mixcloud Jim? Be great to hear them? Paul Franklin has some video of Yarmouth. I know some exists cause I can remember seeing Keb on some dancing to Temptations Forever In My Heart, fantastic dancing.

Whilst I'm at it Yarmouth.....

The Mexborough flyer is from 1988 Kev, think it was the first or one of the early ones. First Blackburn is from 1987
-
I thought Mexborough was after Blackburn or in conjunction but started a year or so later? Blackburn was 87 I think.
-
The acetate has a cover up label on. I've been told it is an uncredited recording.
-
Hi Kev, Butch gave me a list of tracks he played upstairs at the last Stafford, Jus Bros amongst them. He was untouchable 87 onwards IMO. Surprised Jesse James still being played covered up as I remember him uncovering it at Blackburn at the Christmas night, 88? Quite a few knew what it was by then though. Mexborough was a great nighter though!
-
Just Bros came from John Vincent if memory serves me correctly. I remember him telling me he offered it Searling late 70's or early 80's and Richard returned it saying it is too good for the Northern Crowd.
-
Finley Brown has a Hi number of 2494 and as I said is a Aug/Sept 1967 release.
