link anyone?

What has customs got to do with PayPal? W*nkers. The sooner another system for transferring money or paying for goods comes in the better.

Without doubt yes....there was a lot more that weren't scooterists.

As others say gutted for you pal. Can you not do anything through credit card, sure someone had some luck that way in the past?

It wasn't even Magic Touch on the decks either . Guy was the Dj but it was Jimmy Wensiora's voice. Big record most places back then.

Get an acetate cut at Timmion?

The track originally came from fellow member Robb K who whilst compiling two LPs from the Motown Vaults recorded what he was hearing. Rod Shard on a trip stateside whilst at Robb's heard these and a copy of the tapes was soon on its way over here. All the tracks originally played on the scene were done from these tapes. First played over here by Dve Withers. The original acetate came along later.

One of my all time favourites and always in my box.

Little Nicky Soul has been a big record on and off for years. Stafford for Keb various Dj's since, Mark Bicknell if I remember correctly, Andy Dyson.......

Dottie and Millie.

Hopefully all the sh*te has disappeared, all the boots and pressings that plague the UK site.

What's a year amongst friends . Early 90's will do Thank Dave for me, hope to see you both sometime soon.

It is mate, same as the acetate that's been played for years from what I can tell.

The Mica copies have been about since 1983 at the very least.

and during the take for Boy From New York City.... https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/ad-libs-studio-chatter-7-boy

Not sure if this is the right section or video/podcast forum. Anyway I got the Complete Ad-Libs on Blue Cat Recordings and there are a few tracks that are chatter in the studio prior to laying down the tracks.... They are interesting, well they are to me, so I thought I'd share one or two. Here they are in the studio take one Johnny My Boy.... https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/ad-libs-studio-chatter-4 and a great alternate take of Johnny My Boy....... https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/the-ad-libs-johnny-my-boy

I mentioned Rob at the beginning of he topic Julie and the year.

most of us do take it seriously but not this serious surely....it's meant to be fun at the end of the day and all the fun is slowly being drained out of it by anal anoraks. Besides most venues that say they are OVO are with the odd exception and the odd slip up and most of us surely by now (unless you are relatively new to the scene) know who does what and who plays what regarding policy. I can never understand why this argument keeps cropping up. Most of those doing the shouting go nowhere near a venue that is likely to play boots etc and go where they no what they will be hearing policy wise. Either that or they have another agenda altogether

We realise it was a typo Julie, well I did, could tell by your age you said you were then and how old you are But the year it was first played by Rob was1992 not 1994. 1992 is when Tim got the copies from Koppell, 1994 was like you said when he sold it to Mark. Like I said my mate Nick Stevenson was there and was offered the record first, he refused as he thought it was too poppy, which it is

Don't mention cdr Mark, you'll be stoned to death.....

I can just see the fight now......"oi you, get that Palmer release of Al Williams off, I'm playing the LaBeat copy later". "but it cost me £1500". "don't care it came second so not the original."

To say you can't play an Lp because whatever track had a release on 45 Is getting completely ridiculous. Both Lp and 45 are legitimate original releases, release more often than not alongside each other. In many cases the Lp came first. As John said this scene is has disappeared right up its arse, it's gone so far it is peeking out of its mouth! No wonder kids stick with downloads and other forms of dance music.

I've just rung my mate, Nick Stevenson. He was there the Saturday they arrived, two copies as you say Gash, but he says it was definitely 1992 not 1994 when they arrived. He was offered it before Rob on the Saturday they arrived for £500. he refused it as he didn't like it, too poppy for him, still doesn't like it, he'd also just paid for a load of unknowns/semi-knowns off Tim, Billy Harner on Sound Gems was one. Like you say Gash it went to Rob after Nick turned it down.

Now you mention it I seem to remember those Maybe others in an auction???

I would have thought nearer John's than the £400 one. Maybe £250 nowadays? Seen a couple or three go for around that figure.
