sepia

you said 1st issue,has it been re-issued?.

£250/300 would be about right. i sold my 1st copy for £100 but that was less than year after they surfaced. traded my copy of strangers / nightwinds / wb & £60 for it @ scotland v england allnighter in leeds. guy had about 5 or 7 copys,all covered with $1 0r $2 price stickers all over them,lol. now that would make a nice turnover.

i sold mine for a £5 years ago when got the lp. sold enchantments for the about the same i think. bot them both cheapish,from pete widdison @ rhyl scoot rally 1986 lol.

think ill buy the cheapest 45 from every seller until i find him,lol.

often had records from usa with extra disc in,some for protection & prob to reduce there stock. last week i got a rare tune cheap & guy threw in al greene on hot line free.can sell that to get the money back i paid for the rarer one,lol. but 2 weeks ago the other free disc i got was original version of the lion sleeps tonigh,any takers on that????. also when lived in aberdeen me & my mates chipped in to get each other a 45 for when it was our b/days.

i thot zodiac was spelt with a Z not a X,lol.

sentry id a thot.

thats when i first heard it,on a tape from mick smith with all his current plays @ the time.syl johnson/do you know what love is,excuses/trickbag danny woods/you had me fooled,four arts/who do you think you are, inc c/up's etc.those were the days.new tunes after new tunes(to me anyway,lol).

switch the labels when shes not looking.unless she's a matrix number expert,lol.

i wont play any. just put mine in the coffin. ill take them up with me & get all the dead artists to sign them. might add a bit of value to them.

when i had my own shop.the window cleaner(part time firefighter also) was in one day filling his bucket with water from my sink(for the windows not a fire). had the cd/tape recorder on playing some soul.he said you like northern,well i tolerate it i said,lol. i use to go to wigan he said.went with his mates when lived in glasgow(we were in aberdeen). told him i was to young to go wigan (just rememberd i got introduced to a guy in aberdeen few years back,in a pub by someone.wont mention any names.he use to be a dj & went wigan.he said so your into northern,said yip.asked if i went to wigan.said to young for wigan but been going venues since was 14.he said,well if you didnt go wigan you know f all about northern & walked away.funny he back on the scene now). on with the story.so window cleaner said i have a box of records in a loft in a flat i rent out but dont think i could get to them.if i can will give you a shout.keeping calm i said that would be great,not expecting to see them anyway.he asked if worth anything.i said 99 times out of a 100 if a box had been collected from wigan days,good chance they all boots.oh well he said. 2 weeks later he walks in with a 50 box.is it my lucky day & this is the 1 out of 100 full of OV.was it heck,49 boots & 1 ov.was all your usual sliced tomatoes,grapevine,casino classics etc. told him i dont buy boots & at the time they were worthless.he said just offer me something.so think paid either £10/20.got shot of them quick & made a few pounds.prob worth more now than if they were ov's,lol.funny thing is a big collector in aberdeen worked with him & didnt even know he had them.he wasnt fussed as he ov only. steve.

WEBS / CANT LET YOU GO / WHIZ a want for so long & came in the post fae states yesterday & CANT LET YOU GO (excuse the pun,lol).

THE WEBS / CANT LET YOU GO / WHIZ $40 all in. been a want for too many years to remember & @ a great price to boot(excuse the pun,lol) made my year ill tell ya

craig moorer had a copy of EXPERTS / JO-BOY on his site this morning. sold my copy 2 year ago for £40. also on TAG. great r&b tune. hope this helps.

spot on russ,couldnt put it better myself.

ive always classed it as a double sider.

im with jocko on this. no poll needed. it wont change me from collecting/playing originals & it wont change them who play boots. last thing we need is for more I TOLD YOU SO.

one boot played is one to many for me. as an ex promoter.we booked the dj's with the records to fit our ovo rare soul night. butch,weston,thorley,burrell,money etc. dont understand why a night/nighter with a play what you want policy(as in boots etc).needs to book any djs. wouldnt the promoter use the money set aside for djs to go & buy the top boots of the moment & dj the night solo.he would just be playing the same boots as the dj's he was going to book. also.... dj's etc,who down OVO venues/djs & play with boots.just have this thought to yourselfs.while standing @ the decks watching those boots spin on the wheels of steel. if it wasnt for the OV record singers/makers/collectors & early djs who found those OV records in the first place. YOU WOULDNT HAVE THOSE TUNES ON BOOTS TO PLAY. you cant bite the hand that fed you.

you might like the other side aswell I CANT STAND IT.

great to have any info on our heros from over the water. use to have will you ever learn,was only a vg copy but played ok. loved the label bi-me,just a pity not many did.

think it is a ligit 2nd issue(has writing round the outer of the label,original dosn't) but has gone for silly money in the past. i bought the 2nd issue from beating rhythm manchester a few years back,thinking it was the 1st issue until was told different for £15.doh.
