i havnt got the biggest record collection in the world, by any means.

but what i do have are "PUKA"

I myself dont agree with djs who play boots & pressings to fill a dancefloor..

ive attended venues where "boots" are played and even cds...

it just doesnt seem right..

IS IT ME JUST BEING A "SNOB" ??????????????????????????

with that we got into a heated disscusion.......

ive never been back since...

i agree we shouldnt start this thread.only because we shouldnt need 2.i was brought up on the scene havn 2 travel 4 over 20years,2 go 2 venues 2 hear the best & original soul records at any given time.cumin fae aberdeen i dont want 2 spend £100+ 2 travel & listen 2 sum twat whos just spent £300 on manship,4 20 boots 2 play his spot.& callin himself a dj(reminds me on sum1 cant think who). wouldnt b so bad.but its records that were made big many times by djs with morals.me im like u RMS small collection,but al original.some known some less know.i try 2 keep it fresh & my own sound.bootleg djs "WHATS THE POINT". :thumbsup:

round and round in circles....

You'll never be able to change most peoples opinions one way or the other. Best plan is to seek out venues which operate an original vinyl only policy and give them your custom.

Personally I don't agree with the playing of bootlegs, it's a bit like the British Museum putting up a photocopy of the Mona Lisa

Ha ha, we really are going to discuss this topic yet again, what a larf. :thumbsup:

Erm without searching back, wasn't it; serious original label owning collector/dj acceptable and credible at a do? Or reissues opening the door to brother chancer and his wannabe mates :thumbsup:

no not really....

i feel that this undermines the DJs who have spent a whole lot of time and money hunting and breaking these records.............

then for someone to play a £5 bootleg...

we should at least hold these DJs in some respect..

(EVEN IF SOME ARE DIVS)

we can all play boots if we wish to do so.....

but if you are asked to dj at a venue, to me that is a reflection on how the

promoter sees your taste in music............

i would never play a record that isnt genuine in a set...

WHY.............

id rather play a bad set than play boots to be honest......

who on earth wants to be know as "OH,,HE PLAYS BOOTS"

I THINK IM STARTING TO BECOME A SNOB"

Posted

Taylormade, if the DJ had no qualms in admitting to playing a non-original, why don't you tell us what the venue was?

Personally, I just get fed up with all the hinting at stuff on here. So & So did this, played that, just drives me nuts! :thumbsup:

no..i really dont think thats fair on an open forum..do you ??????????????

i told him my feelings on the subject.........

but saying that the venue is always full .................

Didn't we decide to shelve this most boring of subjects after agreeing that at large or major venues, it's out of order to play pressings, at small soul nights it makes no difference.

Why isn't it fair? People are paying their hard earned to go to the venue, surely they are entitled to know whats being played so they can then decide if they wish to go there or not?

1. No, not really. If they're open with what they play it shouldn't really matter.

2. Fair enough, we all get on with one another, just don't always agree on the same things.

3. Obviously their clientele don't mind the format, so obviously the promoter is giving them what they want.

we haven't all got big wads of cash to buy original copies, J D Bryant is in my mind a brill track but how many own a Shrine copy?? not many i guess so if someone slaps a piece of plastic with a plain white label on the turntable so what?? too much snobbery me thinks, must admit tho id love to see a real one but at the end of the day its all about the music?? isn't it :thumbsup:

Boots should remain on the feet not the decks.

I really can't wait for you to come up one night when I'm playing and complain about the label the record is on...(actually it's usually a blank)...
