Jordirip Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The seller's being completely straight though, no deception, it's just the dimbulb bidders who are the idiots here. I wonder what I'd get for my gold styrene boot. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The £100 bidder with 100% bid activity looks mighty suspicious. The bids are totally senseless given the record has been described as a reissue. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mellorful Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Looking at ebay it appears there are some white label copies coming out so presume in a couple of weeks another boot will be out with a copied label. I didn't realise how desperate people are to own a real bootleg, for half that amount they could have my maroon label bootleg copy. I can't afford a real 1st issue Duke browner at £500 so got myself a legitimate release in the form of a Grapevine copy, I wonder what that's worth these days?

Frankie Crocker Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 My Duke Browner was from Minch! Perhaps we should re-name the upstairs kiosk at Wigan the Boot Room? Keith Minshall must have shifted half of Simon Soussan's product via this emporium. In those days, no one really bothered about OVO as the sound was more important than the format. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yep The kiosk on the left hand side balcony is where we used to queue up for the latest pressings on offer & bought them like sheep, but hey I wouldnt have 1/2 of my records without them & there quoted as 2nd releases on some sellers sites $$$$ ALF Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mind you it was 40 years ago and the tape was lost maybe 30 of those years ago. Add to that the amount of brain cells that come off down those years and........you maybe correct.

John Benson Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I doubt very much it being Barnsley's Russ Steele, not in 1974 - he would have still been at school then! Unless the Oldsoulman himself cares to tell us different? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You still have the tape to check the above? Yep. No reference to Russell Steel. Mind you, I was recording start-stop for much of the 90 minutes duration which explains why there are five takes of Dana Valery and five of Butch Baker in amongst the longer sections. As I know of no track by Russell Steel, Russ could well be referring to someone in the Casino. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The plug from Russ is as clear as day as he says it twice. When I die, I want the tape to go to a museum in Wigan. Went to the Wigan museum a few years ago and there was a small Casino exhibition - one day, I hope this will grow. There is also a sound archive in the north west where stuff like this should end up... ATB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
