Mal C Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Just came across this site, old now the trip was in 2009, but there is some great pictures in here, and interesting facts, states the Dau release of Barbara Acklin is very likely a bootleg. wonder if Roger Blythe can cast any light on that, as he's quoted Dave Flynn's site on local / national releases.. https://www.classicurbanharmony.net/chicago_soultrip_usa.htm Just a nice read..

Mal.C It sure looks like a bootleg, it's a copy of the Diamond Jim label design really. And record number 1015, what are the other 14 releases I wonder

boba Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Who bootlegged it and for what market? i think dau is specifically a dutch bootleg label but plenty of records were bootlegged for the regular US market after stuff went out of print. regular people played records to listen to music.

Dutch? For the Polynesians then. I know about the US market....but thanks for the reminder on the reason records were made 1
boba Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 my point was just that collectors forget that regular people listened to records, everybody thinks that something was bootlegged for some tiny scene when there was demand for certain records from regular people.

Britmusicsoulfan Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Northern Soul/soul discovered me in 2008. I trudged my way through a collection of 50,000 45s of all genres from Texas (unpicked). The first record out of the lot that really hit me was The Demures' Raining Teardrops. Before I had even gone to a local do, I made the trip to SoulTrip Chicago 2009. I had table space reserved at the record show but was fortunate enough to have a few days to take it all in (but sadly couldn't stay the entire time, something I wish I could have done today). It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. After I got back home afterward, one of my friends asked how it was. I told him it was amazing. Amazing music, amazing people, incredible experiences. I still wasn't collecting many soul 45s that year until August 2009, when I went to a record fair in Des Moines, Iowa of all places and found someone I know offloading stacks of 60s/70s mint 45s he'd been storing since the 70s for $1 each. I ended up walking out of there with 300+ 45s, and the soul 45 collecting obsession began. When I heard about SoulTrip 2011 Orlando, I knew I had to go. I brought my better half and had an amazing time. Cheers. 2
