Those that collect boots, pressings and cravers to play out at northern soul social nights I have no problem with whatsoever as long as those that do it and those they are attempting to entertain enjoy it.
I am a collector NOT a dj and to that end would never consider purchasing a bootleg, its my perosnal choice, theres something very special about waiting 25 years to get a record rather than sending a cd to Vinyl Carvers or spending £100 on a Billy Arnell boot.
Dkof has an origonal vinyl policy and would now NEVER employ anyone that plays boots no matter WHO or SHE was, thats not being elitist thats having ethics and principles that your stick too, no compromise, no surrender!!!
