Even better Dave,just play the original records and bin mp3/down loads where they belong

Charlie Wilson done;trying to make a wrong thing right,80`s stepper,is that the one?

Reason i playlist is to let people who were at venue but have had a little too much to drink or they forgot to come over and look at record for info cos they talking,getting a round in or outside,or they forgot to make a note of info etc.Plus it also lets other people know what the musical policy is at that venue.I don`t make a note of labels cos it`s too time consuming and mainly i not gonna make it easy for other collectors. Plus usually i got a phone call or email,pm asking me for info so i get an idea what records `work`.Another reason why i sometimes don`t say over mike what the track is,just to see the response . I make a note of request so that other guests when they dj at our venue have an idea what is popular(those they do there homework).Or i`ve been requested can you play the red/blue/green label that goes like this..... ..So they know what the track is All i `m gonna say on the o.v.o subject is: if you wanna play boots/re-presses ,that`s fine if you stick to indoors or round mates but not djing out unless you have the balls to advertize it has such.That way people can decide for themselves. Me personally i only play o.v.o.

Good price on this: BA-ROZ - LAST TIME (PISCES) EX £75 Classy 70's mid-tempo and quite a toughie to find Come back boy is nice has well on A-side.

I'm sure that there are many dancers who don't care about bootlegs being played, just as I'm equally sure that there are many people who buy and wear fake watches who don't care about the children working in the third world sweat shops that make them. How many soul night attendees would tollerate their local working men's club selling them fake Vodka and using the excuse " Well it's ok it tastes the same so what's the problem" ?. Not caring does not make it right. For me this puts this debate in a nutshell . Trouble with todays society is everyone wants to get throu the backdoor without putting in hard work,patience and effort. Be it work related or musically.Sadly the rare soul scene is the same abeit only in a minority.Most people i know be it collectors or punters want the real deal(o.v.o). I`ve got no problem if people wanna collect `pressing`, cds or re-issues but play em at home don`t pretend to be a dj.Yes in todays climate money is tight but you can still pick up good records that sound good out for under £50.Just gotta put the effort/time in .

Wife/Daughter out,empty house,bored,computers on,got money to spend on o.v.o ...With your reputation

That`s my day job,at night i trawl the internet for rare soul on ovo

My name is Wayne and i`m a addict

Ouch Hope not cos i sold it for £75 or there abouts(what i got offered in trades).Was a long time ago and the buyer was a dealer.Not guilty guv All jokes aside; it was on the Black R.C.A label with run out and look legit to me,think it had Demo copy only has well stamped on it

I used to have the 12" and mine was a real one,wasn`t aware it had been booted.

I found a sealed copy of this in Soho for a couple pounds or something like that many years ago.Plays fine all way throu so they are out there in good nick.If memory serves me,there was 4 good tracks on this so why bother with a 7"

Been told there was only 200/300 copies of this pressed so it`s a tough one to find,maybe you can confirm that Nev with Cynthia?

Any joy on run out on Red copy Mark??

Could it been possible that the differant colour pressings are cos they were maybe pressed at differant plants same time?? I.e East/West Coast.This happened a lot on lp`s where each plant left a mark . I`ve got the Orange,i like the colour better Have to agree a great record

Ok that would help,cheers Steve..

Just dug this out,checked on-line and it seems to pressed mostly on Yellow l.h.m.a. records.Mine is a mint/blue,seen them also on Red.What was first?? i know it also got a Calla release afterwards with a differant mix. Over to you,clock is ticking

Yes Russ,are you?

I like both sides but every month i change my mind what one i like best I did play Keep on Strieving out a few months ago so maybe i`ll edit and put both

Try Albert fish on here,he`s got a copy for sale..

5mins-Differances. i`m not resposible-Alex Brown. Time is right for love-Bobby Reed. Keep on Strieving/Come on let me love you-Moses Smith.(i like both but can`t decide what`s best ) Look at me now-Terry Callier.

Has he got a website or a brouchure so i can see what sort of boxes he makes??

I watched this last night,for me one of my fav Jazz artists,never frightened to speak his mind via his poetry/lyrics and one of the 70`s top originators of music Your never see his kind again

Not seen a re-issue,not too hard to find or wasn`t years ago,big London tunes on the 2 step scene for She`s on my mind and one Dave mentioned above.Also you`re my heart+ soul is the dogs has well .

I`ve got the 7" and the Brown door lp and for me the lp version is far superior/better mix and the lp has another 4/5 good tracks.Plus it`s a better pressing,my 7" is only vg+ at best,gave up looking for a clean copy .

Ahhhh, yes i still have nighmares about the one i turned down from you :lol: ...Still looking for that bugger
