Happy Feet

It was never in doubt the sellers status , it was only the fact that buyers are buying Emidiscs wether djs or not that is why I mentioned it . So to the sales of carvers and disguising them that's all .

So do they still have their online sales shop of previously owned vinyl ?

Just had a quick search for MD records , personally bought a few records from their sales "shop" over the last few years , and their excellent MD records label , but now it only seems selling from their own label via Bandcamp , when did that happen?

Still a bootleg Upcycling an Acetate surely with a hand made paper label ?

2 x weeks ago a Temptones Emidisc played by a prominent Dj BITD was auctioned on ebay with a few others , it fetched over £50 . so it's must be still going on , plus boots with stuck on original or Acetate labels always popping up for sale , got to be from Djs . Surely nobody is doing it just to play at home ?

Yes , but I'm not talking about cuts made & distributed , I'm talking of individual djs who did it on a regular basis , selling on the original & then playing Emidiscs cut to fool the audience/ dance floor , or who just played Emidiscs , made to look like Acetates . Pre Internet, yes a lot of records where thought to be scarce .

I find this kind of topic infuriating why ? From the Halcyon days of the Casino ( I picked this one in particular because it was rife ) Stafford (not as bad but it did happen) 100 Club ( 80s it did happen) Lots of Djs would play a record , when it took off , sell it and just before have an Emidisc. cut and play it untill it was booted . There was quite a few Emidiscs cut and made to look like Acetates , nobody batted an eyelid & the only thing that mattered was dance floor reaction. Nowadays it seems that the so called Soul Police , insist a record is only played if it is played on the first possible release . That would be a test pressing or promo surely . None of this , stock copy , first issue bollocks , that is surely one day going to finish off the scene because the younger generation have no chance of ever owning an original copy in any format unless , they remortgage ( if they can afford a mortgage in the 1st place ) so if not an Acetate , no record can be an original ????

The Junior Scaife , Nobody Gets My Love , is very good & I know I've said this before Jalen definitely sounds more like Donnie Elbert than Jalen .

Are you asking regarding this particular record or in general, lots over the years have the same label both sides , & quite a few back to front , both labels wrong .

"The Soul Source Finding Lost Souls Bureau" never fails , great work guys

Have seen it on discogs for much more , but that doesn't mean it's worth £300 + , I think in today's market , Promo it's probably near the mark , is it currently getting spins again ??

High or Low ?

Got mine today , another superb release by Soul Direction , thanks Kitch

The crazy world of Northern Soul , could there possibly be a better take still in the can ? Doubtful 🤨

I'm sure somebody on here said that Kent only reissue cheap records , Tommy Tate £5K+ was it meant as tongue in cheek , wonderful record .

Since my last visit to this topic , due to bladder issues I have had a PSA test , to rule out Prostate issues , & the result 1.1 , Diagnosis a constricted Bladder , more medication & further tests on my Kidneys , the relief is unmeasurable . I still have Colitis following Covid in 21, add to that Diverticulitis in 24 & an annual Nerve Blocker injected into the base of my spine plus 3 types of meds for neurological pain daily . The Bladder issue the Doctor said was more than likely a side issue to the Colitis . My wife says "you don't know how lucky you are " after reading your story Mick & all the other guys affected my Prostate Cancer , I now know what she means.

Hi Larry , he walked out with is ego in a wheelbarrow lol 😂

This guy doesn't mince his words , definitely worth a read .https://louderthanwar.com/the-great-vinyl-record-buying-swindle-unexpurgated-version/ with record store day once again upon us .

It does say the winner was presented with a plaque , he may have had it attached perhaps to a light bar , the type for attaching fog lamps , RAC , AA or Mini Club badges . We used to own a few Mini's back in the late 80s upto 2012 , went on loads of rally's , London to Brighton , Newquay , probably all of the Midlands , but I never saw it if there was .

Now valued at a cool £25,000 , if in immaculate condition , maybe a little more .

This one same era , something for the younger soulies to search for perhaps , whilst it's still available, .50p for now just takes a brave young soul to play it and boom they'll all want a copy , also available on the Spring Label .

Just wish all new & reissued material got the same response Robert , instead of the occasional like , if they're legit of course.

Instead of marketing as a Northern Soul dance tutorial , she would probably get more custom as a Northern Soul keep fit guru .

Hi Neil , Any chance of a snippet ? of Edwins , Real Humdinger , pretty please
