My feelings too Ian. No need to go to all that trouble to do a boot, it's likely to sell anyway if it's an in demander.

yes Roburt I did see post 18, it just seems that it was a lot of trouble to go to remastering it, making the label look so clean and lifelike and adding the 'Div of ABC Dunhill', when whoever Booted it if it is a boot, could have just done a straight copy of the original and the label and probably made as much money? There are not many Boots that I have seen that look and sound better than the original. Reminds me somewhat of the 'Coasters - Crazy baby' repress. I and many thought for years that it was a boot and it turned out to be a ligit 'Atco/Atlantic' repress.

Thanks Tony

So, just got a 2nd release copy of this and the sound quality is excellent. I take it that it must have been remastered. It has been mentioned in an earlier post on this thread as being a 'So called boot', so is it a boot or is it an official repress maybe due to the sound quality? In my experience of remixing, to remaster a track properly, you would need the actual separate parts of the track to be able to boost or lower the offending properties. Could this have been the case or was it just a matter of re-recording the track with less bass, which would be hard to do if as said above the original recording record was muffled? Does anyone know who Booted/Reissued it? and whether they had access to the original masters?

Can anyone please let me know what the runout groove stamps should be on an original Rose Batiste - Hit and run/I miss my baby on Revilot please?

I said I would put a photo of the cover up tonight if no one got the answer. Thanks to those that had a go. (take that how you want :-)

LOL, if no one get's it by this time tomorrow, I'll put a photo of the cover up that it's from.

HARD ON!!!!!

This is the beginning of an introduction to a rare album, containing a number 1 Northern Soul record, by an amazing vocalist. True words indeed, but how many know what album it is from?

I sort of agree Dave, but even back in the 70s paying say £5 for a record was a weeks wage for many, so not that affordable really. I remember when I was living with my mum I got home from the casino on Sunday after being paid on Friday, and my mum asking me for my board, and I narrowly escaped living on the streets when I told her I couldn't afford it cos I had bought some records. Mind you there were a couple of blinders, especially when she';d poked me in the eyes a few times LOL.

Thank you very much. I will pass on the info.

A friend of mine seems to remember a record by Freddie Butler called 'Give me lots of loving'. Can anyone shed any light on any information about the record? He seems think it was on 'Kapp' records. Any help aprreciated

Not a sale yet, but funny all the same. It seems that Ike and Tina have either broom problem, or Miss Springfield has paid them a visit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Northern-Soul-Ike-Tina-Turner-Dusty-In-My-Room-Im-Hooked-HEAR-/171700266843?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27fa22275b

Very nice!

Sorry my mistake, should have said 'Newish'

Awesome innit swifty? My mate sent it to me yesterday to my phone and i got on the net straight away to find it. I think although new, it has a real old feel to it. Hope the rest of the set is even nearly as good

I heard the track 'Love that girl' yesterday and bought the vinyl boxed set on the strength of it. Has anyone heard the rest of the set and how good are they? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Way-See-VINYL-Raphael-Saadiq/dp/B001F9WILO/ref=sr_1_sc_12?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1424292181&sr=1-12-spell&keywords=Raphael+Saddiq
