Wanted nice clean Issue/Stock copy USA Motown Carolyn Crawford - Forget About Me - contact bicknellmark@aol.com or via PM here. Done and dusted she's back in the box lol. NOW SORTED. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks guys. Mark Bicknell.

The logo would suggest that they are all from the same source, like I say not having a dig just curious if they are legit and why they are being done. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sorry if I'm missing something here but what's the story with all the look a like re issues with the Outta Sight star logo on them, seems to be RCA Metros, Sandi Sheldon, Major Lance Okeh, Thelma stuff and more, are these legit re issues? as Ebay is full of them, not having a dig but just curious to ask do these titles really warrent being re issued? as most have been out numerous times before. Had a look on their website but no reference to these 45's? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Not sure you will have to ask Ady if he played it at any of those venues.

Ady played it first I would think from an acetate/studio dub at the 100 Club way back. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I think you will find that the only legit release of this is on Ace/Kent's stunning Lou Johnson CD Ady compiled a couple of years ago, certainly a track which Kent could put out on it's Select logo. Mark Bicknell.

Bitch lol

I guess over the past ten years or so I've moved most of the big trophy records on not really DJ'ing anymore and various other reasons and circumstances I did not have the desire to carry on collecting the shall we say the bigger tunes, once you can get rid of the emotional attatchment to records it's easy to let them go, having said that I still love wheeling, dealing, swaping, trading, buying, selling, having a ball buying little bits and bobs that I can enjoy at home going very much down the classic 6t's route these days either picking things up that I let go or that passed me by way back, tons of nice quality bargain originals out there to go at, buying a lot of Motown, Gordy, Tamla, VIP, Soul, USA Atlantic etc. getting to the stage that I fancy getting out there again to play a few gigs lol, keeping the 45's to around a couple of thousand and having a ball. Regards - Mark Bicknell.,

Yeh and like the ones that don't are going to admit it lol. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

You should hear the version when he had his Orange socks on blows the others out of the water.

So it's true then lol

Is that right Pete, you, Dave Rimmer and Cliff Steele have all got together to buy Vinyl Carvers as the business is up for sale???? lol

I've heard Pete Smith, Dave Rimmer and Cliff Steele have got together and buying this lol (see boot thread and you might see the funny side of this lol) Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Seems to be a little goal post moving here to cover all sides of the debate, either it's right, wrong or it don't matter make your minds up, way back when I started DJ'ing you firstly had to earn your stripes to even get behind a set of decks in the first place as it was almost a closed shop situation fueled by collectors and record dealers, now it seems to be an open house free for all with no rules at all, the very fabric of this scene and the fundimental important factor is it's based on rare soul records, hard to find not often seen and without the authentic tunes in the first palce you would have no scene, nothing to play, nothing to dance to and nothing to bootleg. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

About thirty bob lol

Thought this was unissued CD only, any copies out there will be cut from CD onto a carver I would think.

I'm really sorry Steve but we are already in production and some staff have been selected.
