And here's the 1004 release yellow design - Only Once In A Lifetime B/W Ain' That Something - Jacklyn 1004. Regards - Mark Bicknell

Which one has been booted 1001 or 1004? would not of thought there was enough demand on this record to warrent a bootleg? or was it done in North America? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Funny you should say that Tony me old mate, it just so happens yes I do had it years and not seen too many Black Stockers over the years compared to the Demo's. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Paul Smith - I'll Run B/W Ain't That Something - Jacklyn 1001 - The rarer one seem to remember it's a white label with red text? two good sides and Paul Smith - Ain't That Something B/W Only Once In A Lifetime - Jacklyn 1004 the yellow design which is the one I have, not booted to my knowledge? just a case it came out twice with different flip sides 1001 around £300.00 and 1004 half that perhaps a little less, hope this helps Pete. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I would think the Black Stock/Issue of 'The High Keys' has to be the hardest one to find and a little more than fifty quid I feel? lol awesome flip 'Let's Take A Chance' so so good. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

List updated and bumped, offers welcome on all records bicknellmark@aol.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Superb reply, things have changed that's for sure....respect sir. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Lol no Ian I record my shows on...well the head cost more than the deck...lol no you would not perhaps get lynched for playing 80% rare vinyl to 20% of well-chosen but impossible to find killers on CD/Digital but what about the DJ's/Collectors who actually may own and have in their boxes and collections those 20% impossible to find killers, perhaps more to do with getting the DJ balance right in the first place who might be able to provide that magical 20%? rather than having to go down the CD/Digital route? Is this not the same as the Original versus Bootleg debate instead the Boot has been replaced with the CD/Digital format as the sound carrier? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Being that the scene is based on obscure, rare, hard to find records is not the whole ethos of Rare Soul DJ'ing in the true sense of the word simply based on playing authentic original records? I take your points about spoiling records by playing them on sub standard decks etc. but in this day and age there should be no excuse for second rate equipment to be used anyway, a decent set of 1210's with top of the range Stanton's does help. I still think vinyl is king for most of the scenes DJ's, although this might sound rather glib in my opinion records are for playing rare or not otherwise what's the point in collecting them in the first place? Of course it's important to preserve them but sorry I can't just look at them in boxes totally pointless. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Dean, only joking about the price mate like I can remember what happened last week let alone how much I paid for a record 25 years ago...lol like I say mate enjoy it! Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Enjoy it Dean....lol not sure about the bargain price bit still only cost me seven quid when I bought it all those years ago...lol English football needs the 'special one' as coach....a very sad state of affairs indeed. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

List updated. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

For what it's worth I sold a Red spare copy a couple of years ago via Ebay for fifty quid, bound to shoot up in price once the penny drops just how good this record is. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sorry can't supply a sound clip but what a tune, never really had it's day as a big tune on the scene but it should have, stunning record. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Kev, just a thought and forgive me if someone has already suggested this on the thread but not read all replies sorry but one of the main chaps involved in the BBC 'Children In Need' event last night was on Breakfast News this morning and he said that every penny raised goes to the children so maybe that would be an option for you. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
