I probably got them in a record shop in Gloucester in the late 70s early 80s. Back in the days when i bought records from shops or off lists, in the hope they were the songs I had heard at do's.

If you come across a white labelled OOTP 45 with a light brownish " tint " in places , these are the ones allegedly destroyed in the warehouse fire where they were stored , which coincided with the same time that CB was being asked about their validity .........

Perhaps it's time you accepted the fact and moved on - it is not healthy to hold on to the resentment against them Why should I "move on"? (ie. pretend everything's hunky-dory) for the convenience of thieving bootleggers and those who sell 'em on? I don't THINK so! (Cheek!) It might be better if the Northern scene eventually "moved on" from it's complicity in this activity and stopped treating bootlegging as some kind of natural phenomenon nobody has any control over. Meanwhile I'll continue to "resent" bootlegs as long as the Northern scene remains utterly complacent to them - so there! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Even though I don't think of myself as a part of the scene anymore, I couldn't agree more. Bootlegging is theft, you wouldn't turn a blind eye to someone "ringing" you car would you?

Guest mel brat Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 ============= ...seeing a list like this you could guess they were all Torch biggies..like soul series being linked to the wheel always found things like this fascinating... You're right. Many of them were big Torch spins, and proprietor Chris Burton was surely engaged in the bootlegging activities. However hardly had a record got played by that time (1973-74) before it would be bootlegged. That was part of the problem, not least for DJs attempting to find new discoveries to replace them, and this obviously led to a decline in the quality of records available to play. Apparently, many of the late OOTP bootlegs were seized/withdrawn following belated legal action (as I recall reading). However as shown above, OOTP bootlegs were listed on ISC flyers and were still being openly sold at the Leeds Queen's Hall fiasco in 1974. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mick Holdsworth Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes loads of those didn't actually come out - Jean Carter, Linda Jones, earl Grant etc Don't think this is a list of OOTP, just a list that ISC put out of stuff for sale, including some OOTP records and a lot of others that were not OOTP.

Reference my earlier reply / posting - " If you come across a white labelled OOTP 45 with a light brownish " tint " in places , these are the ones allegedly destroyed in the warehouse fire where they were stored , which coincided with the same time that CB was being asked about their validity " ......... Many of the records stored in the warehouse were destroyed by the fire ( alleged to be caused by old / faulty wiring ) , but the majority survived ( hence the discolouration of the white labels ) , and were sent post haste to various locations for " safe keeping " . The authorities were led to believe - and believed - that the warehouse contained ALL the stock of the OOTP 45s , and the fire had destroyed them . This helped CB facing more questions and investigation into the activities of himself , and the ISC .......
