What he's obvioulsy done here is hit the 3 on his keyboard instead of the decimal point. They are right next to each other.

Just had a look at his "other items".

Why on earth do I bother collecting real records?

A related problem is that a growing number of "DJ's" proudly stand behind the decks with shite like this. Keeping it real playing actual proper vinyl. :dash2:

Makes my effing blood boil.

Stick by your guns mate, there are plenty who still play 'real' records, though a minority these days, it seems.

But on another thread it doesn`t matter if a young/female dj starts off with a few boots mixed in a set at a night.(Not my sentiments)

Thing is you wouldn`t need to take a peek at the decks if the Combinations or Mello Souls were being played!

But it should matter.

If you allow/play boots then you may as well just allow people to use a laptop with mp3's.

If that's what the night is about then so be it, each to their own. But to me if you're DJ'ing then even the most played out of played out oldies should be on original vinyl. End of!

Absolutely Phil.

phild,

Sorry-I was being ironic.I assumed people might get my drift(I did qualify by saying not my sentiments) and my emoticons aren`t working at the moment.

Peter99,

It`s the one entitled "Are youngsters coming through"?

Can I just point out that there is no 'original' 45 of this record from the 60's hence the numerous boots of it, and if thats all you can play it off then so be it

Brenda Holloway - Reconsider on a recent-ish repress white label with SOUL at the top. Was also issued on Stardust and on a white label UK copy and on a so called Motown test pressing, none of which are legit.

This is what occured to me a long time ago - what is the difference between playing a boot or an mp3? I see many fliers stating that the music at some event is on '100% vinyl'. For me there is one word missing - 'original'. I agree it's everyone to there own, and I wouldn't slag off, or even refuse to visit, a venue where I know boots are played, but I don't see why CDs or mp3s would be banned at such places.

I believe there are occasions when there is no alternative but to leave the vinyl at home. Normally I only play OV, and at a bona fide soul do that is absolutely the case, but I also play fairly handbaggy nights in pubs that may last for 4 hours or more. I can't cover all the requests I'll get with any sort of vinyl, original or otherwise, so I take my laptop. The punters know what's going on and don't mind, so long as I can play pretty much anything they might ask for. If the punters are happy, the pub is happy. Strictly, I may be denying my own stated position on OV, but sometimes circumstances dictate a more pragmatic approach.
