Hi Chaps, so, the important question is, what are the respective copies fetching these days? best, RB I'd say about £60

I have to disagree Keith. How is it the way forward to stick the something for the something different crowd in a side room. With the right DJ's using imagination it is possible to play across the board at a mainstream all-nighter...after all Lifeline does it Hi Chalky Understand what you are saying but Lifeline caters for a crowd that are open to listening to a diverse mix. The point I was making is that the oldies crowd won't accept anything but the tried and tested northern classics. I've seen it numerous times at local nights when they clear the floor once the music changes and next month they don't turn up - this makes the promoters wary of trying it again. That's why I think the multi-room policy works best. But, like I said just my opinion. Kev

For me the way forward is larger venues that attract a larger crowd with 2 or 3 rooms - makes for a better atmosphere. No one is ever going to change the thoughts / opinions etc of the die-hard oldies crowd ( and there's a lot of them out there). They want to hear the classic northern sounds, have a few beers, dance all night and generally have a good time and most of them don't mind if it's original vinyl, re-issues or CD's. Then you need a second room for the northern crowd that have moved on and want to hear underplayed / rare 60's and 70's etc - you probably find this crowd will venture into the northern room - they don't mind the old sounds but don't want to hear them all night. Then a third room for the more diverse mix - bit of RnB, Latin, Jazz etc Like the idea of what Kev Roberts is planning for Stoke in October - 3 rooms - northern, 60's & 70's rare / underplayed and modern. Should keep everyone happy. Just my opinion though

I don't think there's any difference between them - over the years I've seen roughly the same amount of each

Always remember Sam playing this at Cleethorpes and every copy I saw was on the orange PM label until I saw one up for auction a few weeks back on a green PM label. Condition wasn't too good so didn't bother with it. Anyone know if this was a first press making the orange copy a re-issue? I asked Sam and he said his copy was on the orange label.
