both boots as far as I'm aware. There is only one original of LSH put out by Motown in mid 90's (?) as a promotion at some seminar showcasing a Marvin Gaye cd or something like (?). it was originally played off a cut (carver if you like) as it was sent over here on a cassette originally. Let's Talk It Over taken from a Japanese CD or something like and never issued on a 45. There is another boot of it as well, looks like a 60's UK demo 45.

would you be a guest showcasing your collection? If so then it is your original vinyl only or anything unissued thou might have. If it is just a general radio show playing northern soul then I guess no one will care nor be non the wiser?

Dunno Russ but you are probably right, now a classic. The whole Tony's clip is has different DJ's to the records and different DJ's on the mic to the one on film. Think one clip has Guy in the film and Jimmy Wensiora speaking??? Anyway back to boots......

It was Guy Might be wrong but not sure if Horace issue had been released then? Quick search on Youtube and here is a screen shot of the disc on the decks when Magic Touch started.... (no whistling smiley)

Think the Old Grey Whistle test was showing a cover up and the wrong DJ when it was played, memory could be playing up.

I play it of the Kent Anniversary 45. Horace the first legitimate release (for sale) seeing as it was previously unissued. Any legitimate release is ok although I wouldn't play one if it exists on an original US release, thats just me though others have a different opinion.

If I go up to the decks it's usually to see what the record is, not whether it is a boot or not. You usually know the DJ's playing boots and who plays what anyway, well you do if you take note for nearly 30 years. You know where the really rare records are by and large and if someone plays one you didn't think had one then suspicions are going be raised. Plenty do go up to the decks, whether the motives are due to suspicion or simply to find out what the record is or the label.....or maybe simply compliment the DJ on the particular record.

It was a side project to his producing side of the business, I suppose to boost income. Now it looks like he doesn't have time with producing responsibilities on the rise. Plus there are now others that do it and in some cases better quality, especially on acetate. You could buy one of the cutting machines from Vestax when they first came out, they were around £7k. Discs were something like a few pence each.

Keep it on topic please, enough of the sock colours.

I realise that Kev I know why it is used but like Russ I simply find the term inflammatory and used by those on the defensive and losing the debate, incapable of putting over proper reasoned comments and have to rely on derogatory comments instead. I guess we are all guilty of such comments at times though.

What's a chin strokers night? I've never been to a night advertised as a chin strokers night. I've never really see anyone stood about stroking their chins either? P.S. Just seen Russ's reply to this and agree it's one of those quotes often trotted out by the oldies only lovers who can't put up a reasonable argument during debate . Most go out for the music, whether they dance or not. This has been the same since the beginnings of the scene. Some dance some don't. Some collect some don't. Some spend their time in the record bar some don't. It takes all kinds to make up this scene.,

Think I can guess who you mean

it's one of those comments dragged out when someone can't get over a reasonable argument in a debate. Like I said I've never seen anyone bragging to someone else they have an original or shouted over the mic "c'mon look at this original, cost me a fortune", just to massage their supposedly inflated ego.

no what do they say? I've never seen anyone bragging or massaging their so called egos just cause they are playing an original. Another one of those cop out statements.

As I said in another topic the arguments you see on Soul Source have always been talked about. You simply didn't have everyone sat at a keyboard 24/7. The only medium you had to vent your anger, feelings and opinions were the magazines of the day, B&S, Black Echoes and the fanzines that kicked about. If they were fortnightly or monthly then the argument would probably have been irrelevant by the time your letter printed. Oldies vs. newies, boots vs. pressings, clashing, all the politics you see today, they've always been there.

I don't know why this is being split once again into the rare soul night /nighter DJ and the oldies only local DJ. DJ's across the scene play boots. Admittedly there is more focus on your all-nighter DJ so the playing of boots isn't as prevalent as some local soul nights but it has and does happen. I also know many DJ's who only venture locally but have the utmost integrity and stick strictly to the OVO only policy.

LaBeat was the local release, Palmer the later national release. Either way they are still both originals (same for the other examples you gave), nothing technically about it.

How can Al Williams be considered a re-issue? It came before Palmer.

Your're Number 1 First issue; vinyl with light blue moulded label. 2nd issue; Styrene with stick on darker blue label with black text.

Storm Warning First issue...Light blue label with dark blue text Second issue...Sky blue with Black text (or white with blue text) The criteria above is the same for Help Wanted.

Best scan I can find right now... To be on the safe side buy this one
