if someone before you plays a boot of what you have an original of , show them the real one and after playing it in your set announce that it was from an original
i have only djed twice so far but played originals only , both were early slots which i dont mind as i can then drink or look at records later on , i asked organisers what to play and they said it didnt matter as there were not many people there yet play what i thought was good
one of my favourite records of all time is an unreleased motown track that only came out on a legit cd compilation , there were boot 45s of this of which i had one , it was in my box for my first gig but i looked at the other djs box and saw original records that cost hundreds of pounds and thought that if i played a boot it would take time up that a decent 45 could be played in so i played an original.
i then sold the record i had in question so i wouldnt be tempted to play it out , to me its ok if this track is played off the original cd but not off a boot 45 so i asked a dj who played cds to play track for me
