I'll rephrase that. of your favourite tunes. :-)
-
hadn't looked at it from that angle pete. I'd have thought that today's equipment was state of the art, not like those mobile discotheques years ago. so you're saying you'd use a 2nd copy for you most expensive tunes?
-
what exactly does this mean? the record is 'sonically' poor & you more than likely wouldn't give it house room, but it is deemed ok to subject dancers to it at a venue. isn't that a little inconsiderate? what are dealers trying to tell potential punters with this snippet of advice? mac.

thanks martin. I remember you from st.ives you know. we used to chat often...
-
I'm a big van fan & even though he has graced northern dancefloors in the past, I can't quite see 'precious time' in the same context. what about his live version of ain't nothing you can do? a stormer. & redwood tree off 'st.dom's preview? maybe I'm dreaming...

are you casting aspersions on my good taste young fellow? yes I did play interplay. it was to see if it was as awful as I remember. haven't you ever been bitten by the midge of curiosity? the shredder thing was in reference to earth wind & fire & the like. I'd rather listen to derek & ray than 'september' or 'boogie wonderland'. didn't somebody mention EW&F or am I losing the plot? macca.

anyone got the gen on this one please? availability of issues/demos,values etc.

UK jobbies on Ebay, but would prefer a US copy. Anybody got one to shift in M- condition? Please PM me if so. Cheers, Macca.

cheers. just pee emmed him. macca

saw an okeh demo on ebay not just the other day...

what a nice thread! I would say to the newly arrived brethren, 'don't ever lose your sense of humour'. taking something deadly seriously & not losing one's sense of humour are not entirely incompatible. things I would have changed? the widespread abuse of barbiturates at one point back in the late 70's. I saw some shocking scenes on that front. & on a more jovial note, full time plumbers on attendance so we wouldn't have had to resort to waders when tackling the seriously grim all-nighter bogs. how are things over there these days, bog wise?

domino is tremendous. the caledonian soul orchestra, wasn't it? I do find al de lory's 'take' on it a bit limp in comparison. van does a mean version of bobby bland's 'ain't nothing you can do' as well. bobby's original is cracker though. van's alright with me. shoot me down in flames...

they'd go down a shredder even better.
-
2nd request this week am I gonna be lucky this time? a demo, or blue/white issue, I don't mind... cheers macca.
-
wigan sounds, warts & all, eh? jimmy burns & danny wagner would have had me shakin' it on down...
-
any kind soul out there got one to shift? can pay instantly by paypal. cheers mac.

I think he means it's very good. if I said the taj mahal was the real deal, I wouldn't be casting aspersions on the mumtaz or bombay brasserie, they're equally valid. the popadoms might be better at the mumtaz, but you can beat the chicken tikka massala at the brasserie. some might prefer the shah jehan anyway... macca

to be fair, it does say 'created the music choice' on his home site. or shouldn't we be fair? maybe I'm straying into a cabbage patch... macca.

I used to like billy woods 'let me make you happy' for its clappability, specially on the sha-la-la-la-la bit... tremendisimo. macca.

combative stuff...
-
never ever have been comfortable with that term. it sounds more like an affliction than anything else, like beri-beri, rickets, palsy, scrapey etc; is there a human form of scrapey?
-
it's very easy to be taken in though. remember those lou pride repros on suemi? we had firm assurances that they were legit reissues. sometimes it's difficult. is there a failsafe method in order to determine whether they are legit issues or not? one thing is a bonafide uk release on a recognisable major label, another is a lookalike job on a long dormant US label, for example. I often wonder... macca
-
I can't imagine why anybody would be interested in such tat. I'd have a third reich style public burning of all this stuff. I would even invite dealers to stop selling 're-issues', '2nd issues' etc; but then again I am a detective chief inspector in the aaaargh.... soul police... flog me, flog me...

Ebay - When Something Isn't What It's Made Out To Be
macca replied to macca's topic in Look At Your Box
guy came back to me. gonna refund my dish. all a terrible mistake. he bought the record off a dealer in the 70's as a bonafide original, didn't think to double check before sticking it on ebay. could happen to anybody I guess. all's well that ends well... M -
Heard This (joe Hinton) And Thought, I'll Have One Of Those
macca replied to a topic in Look At Your Box
tremendous record. had one & sold it, which I now regret. it was going for up to 75 sovs about 2 years ago. don't think it's all that rare, just due to its demand. macca.
