i do agree with you Rod, but if i am Djing and i know one of the other DJ's is playing out a record that i've got, before me, then i would ask him if he planned to play it first - as i say if never i would never bother asking cos i wouldnt bother playing that record anyway (i did that time but that was a record of contention lol) - its just a matter of respect to the other dj imo.

yeah, thanks Russ :angry:

shit, i thought it was me first... point i was making Rod is to know and repect what the other DJ's on the same nite as you are playing out - i havent got a clue who played what record first on the scene - but locally i do know what dj is playing 'newer' stuff out before me...and if i know that they've been playing something before me i would ask them (unless it was a stone oldie,if you know what i mean) - well iwouldnt ask to be honest i wouldnt play it at all...too many records around to bother asking...

Absolutely NOT!! apart from making the DJ taking it off look like a dick - the only losers are the people dancing to it!! apart from that i do agree with what JT is tring to say.. I too associate Johnny Howard with Butch - cos he is the first dj i remember playing it (didnt go to wigan etc etc ) (i may well have heard it before but that is when it stuck in my mind) - but i am not coming from a 'what is butch(or other big dj) playing' - but more from a 'local' soul nite stance... .. i have Dj'd at do's and other Dj's have asked me if i was going to play 'such and such' a record cos if i dont they will...and i have been told that 'i wont play my bootleg/dub of whatever record cos i know you've got the original' - respect in both cases cos they know i have been playing a record around, no matter what format, before them... And i agree with the comment about some Dj's turning up just for their spot - i did a weekender last year and later on a 'big' dj played two 'in' records in exactly the same order that i had played a few hours earlier - someone told him and did he give a shit - of course not - and i still would have played them had he been in the room at the time cos i dont associate those 2 records with him. But I did ask him the nite beofre if it was ok for me to play a record the next day that i did associate with him and he said fill ya boots, it deserves to be heard... and takling of Honey and the Bees...i DJ'd at the same allniter as JT last month and we both got it in our box - but i know that it is on James' playlist and he has been playing it longer than me, so i wouldnt play it without asking him first if he was going to play it (as it happens JT was on before me cos he's shite so i didnt have to ask the question...) All i am trying to say is there should be respect for other Dj's on at the same nite as you - only of course if you know what they've got. P.S - refering to said DJ playing a dub of Mello Souls - i expect that sort of thing at 'local' do's and live with it - i do not expect it from 'big' dj's at those sort of nites - it doenst matter who they are or how reverd thay are.

my condolences and thoughts with all family and friends. Dave

its a fine tune for sure i played it at the last 6T's allniter - and it went down well

it did make that originally, but then was re-listed pretty much straight away due to bogus bidders upping the price (new bidders having to register therir interest and prove identity etc before bidding) and was then sold at the much lower value. i think the most expensive record ever is not a rare record at all - just the circumstances surrounding it. Its John Lennons Double Fantasy LP, signed for Mark Chapman a few hours before Chapman killed him. Depending on where you read it it was sold for $464,000 to $525,000 of course that,s an lp and not 45, but still quite playable at 45 rpm...

I think this lower value is more realistic imo. And mine looks like the others LOL - ring marks etc thing is mine plays really low volume wise. I know someone else's whose is the same. are they all on the quiet side??
