Denbo

Bloody hell Dave, that IS good. Never noticed that before. Has it always been on your site since you started the 264? Denbo. PS - I think I might be able to add to this but only when I'm at home at weekends so don't expect anything immediately.

Hi Tommy, Sounds like an interesting project. Keep me posted would you? Denbo.

Let's hear it then? :o)

Ernie, I've got a yellow Demo copy for sale too but it's only about Ex- and I've got £20 on it. Plenty of people pause when they see it and sometimes even comment but I ain't sold it yet. :o( Hope that helps? Denbo.

That HAS to be the same Sonny Daye as Sonny Dave Daye and the Muffins on Ring-O, doing Merry-Go-Round, right?

Must admit, been wondering where he is, or what he's been up to these days myself. Can anybody enlighten us?

It's okay, don't worry about it, it's an original. Quite a few came out on yellow label / styrene. Not sure why though?

Better check with Dave Rimmer first to see if it might be classed as a reissue

Simon, Have you got the correct thread here? Denbo.

Hey Tommy, how's it hangin'? Great show by the way, keep it up, you might make it as a DJ one day. Pass on my regards to Goran and Bjorn-Espen.

True, but have you ever listened to those classic Blues tracks with train horn impressions, fantastic rhythm and remember, they say that's where our soul music evolved from. So, bring it on Thomas.

Let's not split hairs Dave, reissue is the same as re-release. At the end of the day, a record released here in the UK after it has been released in America, is not a reissue but a British release. Mr. Bang Bang Man on UK Monument, as opposed to it's first release here in the UK on London, is a reissue. I'm shaking my head here. I cannot understand how you can think otherwise. Oh well, time for bed. Got an early start tomorrow and I need my kip. Especially after all this hard work. Night all. Denbo.

Oh My Gawd.

Truly, it IS fun. I LOVE winding up the American Import collectors. But those amongst them that I consider American Import elitists, like I said earlier, they get right up my nose and they deserve to be wound up, at every opportunity. All in good fun however.

Now, now Mr. Cambridge Soul, let's not get personal. These are just our opinions and should be left as such. But I agree with the first sentence in your posting.

I think you'll find it was used somewhere else in the thread. I just picked up on it and expanded on the word reissue.

Hi Dave, No need to shout, I can hear you well enough. What post was that Dave? Sorry, a second issue does not necessarily mean a reissue / re-release. What about those records in the States on small local labels that get picked up by the majors for National distribution, are they classed as reissues / re-releases? I bet not. Especially if the issue on the major label happens to be more obscure / rare than the local label, as sometimes happens. Nah, I'm sticking to my guns. If a record has not been released here in the UK before, then in my opinion, it cannot be classed as a reissue / re-release. Denbo.

YES!!!

In that case, they should be classed as British releases of in-demand US releases , NOT reisssues / re-releases. Again, look at the word, if it's never been released here in the UK, how can it be classed as a reissue / re-release when it eventually does get released? There can be no argument in my mind, no matter how much people try to change it. Black is Black. White is white. End of story.

Hi Dave, Hope you're feeling better? We don't really KNOW each other but I respect your reputation. However . . . . . . I can't agree with you here Dave. How can a record that gets released after the US release, but for the first time in any given country, like say Canada, UK, Australia, etc, be classed as a RE-RELEASE? Look at the word Dave . . . . RE-RELEASE . . . . . how can you justify the word used for a record that was released in a different country of origin, a RE-RELEASE? Sorry mate, but you're wrong.

And on what label happens to be considered the rarest, US or UK.

Oh don't give me that. Yawn, yawn, yawn. But you're right, it IS a toughie and I don't think each group is ever going to have it's mind changed. Still, it's fun trying, don't you think?

Way to go man, totally agree.

'Just my opinion, of course' Wasn't subdued at all but absolutely sarcastic.

Don't matter what the reason is for the first time release here in the UK, it's STILL a first time release here in the UK. As for Lumley being a new release at the time, well no it wasn't, it was released in the USA first, isn't that the argument? So, it too was a reissue / re-release, according to some. Don't matter about demand, if it's the first time it's been released here in the UK, then it's not a reissue / re-release. I can't see how you can argue with that? Now, to give you a better example, the Jay Boy release of the original London release here in the UK of 'Talk Of The Grapevine' by Donald Height, now THAT's a reissue / re-release, or would you say that the Jay Boy release is a re-reissue / re-re-release? Anybody?
