Can remember queueing outside Salisbury pub in Scarborough bank holiday weekends. Talking early seventies here and we'd all be outside and Bub and his mates would walk to the front of the queue jangle the room keys to the guy on the door and walk straight in. They were the only ones that could afford to stay there. Happy Days

In reality some of the small venues cannot afford to book the high priced dj especially those having to pay room hire etc. I like the policy taken by some venues where two guests are booked, one lesser known (9pm ish) and one more established (10:30) the earlier guest dj will have to work harder as the dancers arent as pissed, and if any good will hopefully get a later spot in the future.

Pm'd ya

Just got a swan 200, bit disappointed as only holds about 160 - 170 , the 200 is if in paper sleeves, well your not gonna use paper if your records are that good your gonna spend £60 just to carry them... Dave

original release wanted condition and price please Dave

After Larry Hammond sad Sad ways & the Exciters Reachin' for the Best, The latest version that has the chorus towards the end and not the long long run off that came out on 20century, believe this was redone by Ian Levine as some sort of anniversary record. Dave

Just got email back from seller NO you cannot stack them Dave

Have emailed company to see if they will stack,but looks to me like the handle would be in the way Dave

Playlists - Could some sort of icon be added to event advert stating playlist posted so you can see what was previously played at that venue ?

on my ebay click on bids/offers, then left hand side- didnt win and past bids should appear.if its not there thats that but why retrieve it, can always search and save search. Good Hunting Dave

Have an issue myself, paid £30 for it, seen it on lists at £100, what was the final price ? Dave

Had a cheapie 45 with crack about 1" long but would click back into place so put 2 spots of superglue on other side as wasnt bothered about that side and after it dried record played fine. Dave

No, not a piss take although I can see why you'd think so. At Blackpool weekender last November the two giant screens projecting the records being played featured many Red & White motown demos during the Wheel session. Now, according to previous threads these records (valued in their hundreds) are not originals even though they are first releases in the UK. and wouldnt be played in a OVO purist venue.Just an example as perhaps too comercial for that type of venue anyway. As a collector and occasional DJ I think LVO is a more sensible way. promoters know to some extent if a DJ has a box full of early issues LVO or a box full of mid seventies (companies jumping on the bandwagon) reissues. or a box full of boots..... So the answer to the question, original vinyl is........the first ever release / issue of a record (worldwide)

awesome

So the answer to these questions is........

I put p'md you on a thread cos the originator has his notifications turned off

The topic of original vinyl has been on this forum probably more than any other subject, but can someone positively state what original vinyl is.? is it a records first ever release ? therefore making further releases second issues. If so, what happens to demo only records that never got an issue release ? Can a demo be original vinyl when it was never released or issued. What if its an album track first,then released as a single,is the album original vinyl and the single second issue ? Is original vinyl a worldwide thing, or a country of origin, or both. therefore first release per country becomes original vinyl. Obviously all the promoters that state OVO in their adverts must know what it is so can easily answer this question... food for thought...if its first issue worldwide nearly all UK motown is second issue as they were released after the US issue.But if its only country wide nearly all early motown become original vinyl as do Pye disco demand etc etc...........
