Exodus WAS essentially VJ, while they were going bankrupt (Exodus=escaping or getting out-eg leaving the business).

  Yes, the recent boot is now down to £10 on eBay. If you do a search on the UK site / records, you will find it there (it's buy it now). But it may be cheaper if you wait a while - the se

I would be mildly surprised, as it was a fairly easy record to find in numbers during the 1970s.  But NOTHING about The NS scene would shock me, as some pretty weird things have happened.

Never booted in the 70's or 80's - Was easy to find, so no need. I'm not considering modern day booters though. If there was a chance of selling half a dozen as real ones at a good price (eg recent Dana Valery boot of boot of pussycat boot) before anyone clocked on, then that almost covers half the cost of making it in the first place, as it appears to be so cheap to do, especially if you aren't to bothered about the reproduction quality.

 

Having said that, I'm pretty sure there are no modern boots of this.

 

Yet.

Yes, the recent boot is now down to £10 on eBay. If you do a search on the UK site / records, you will find it there (it's buy it now). But it may be cheaper if you wait a while - the seller also lists stuff at £2 and £3 if they don't sell too good). All these recent boots are generally poor sound reproduction though, so you may be buying a bag of bones. Can't say if this title has a good reproduction or not though.

Exactly. issue 30/35 top.

 

 

I was thinking of selling one but wasn't really bothered at £30 which is what I thought it was worth.  Might stick a bit more on it now :)

Not forgetting that "I keep trying" also came out in 1986 on the "Rare Soul Uncovered - Vol 2" Lp from Charley, which is where I first heard it.

Great, gritty sounding track

 

Best,

Dave

I have 2 issue copies and the labels are slightly different on the I keep tryin side.

One copy on right hand side has 'Bunky's Pick' and a small star below and the other doesn't. The Bunky's pick copy printing on both left hand and right hand side is slightly larger and the lettering at bottom of label slightly thicker . The Bunky's pick copy dead wax reads I keep tryin lightly etched.

The other copy the dead wax reads EX 1023 

Can anyone explain why there is a difference?

Is this the same Fred Hughes that recorded on Vee Jay ?

A demo copy of this just turned up on Manship's web site. It has all the information you might need on

how to tell the difference between the original copy and the bootleg.

Thanks for the heads up.

Mine are issue copies so I am still none the wiser.

I wasn't aware the record had been bootlegged, just assumed minor variations on the label depend on where they were pressed.

I guess with JM behind the record it will reach £200 at auction.
