Point taken Joan still I've only got a few pressings left now anyway be them 60's original pressings lol

You could say that about record dealers or people who post big sales list on here or play lists etc. etc. Mark

Not at all mate did I think you were being pissy, however I have sent your wife a letter telling her how much you have soent in the past two years and told her to buy her bloody handbags from your local market lol, you stick with the original records mate and let her have the dodgy copy handbags lol on a more serious note collecting records is a very personal thing and whatever level or standard of records every collection is special to it's owner, despite selling as I've gone throughout the last thirty odd years for whatever reason I still have the bug, urge and desire to buy records and Jacqui makes do with an Asda carrier bag lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

PM sent. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Steve, I live in Mnachester mate, I think we DJ'd together a few years ago now at a do in Leeds run by Pete Smith, pretty sure you were there, I've not really done anything for a couple of years more out of choice, other commitments and it got a little stale for me but would maybe consider the odd spot, not cheap mind lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

No mate you have some nice records, many of which I stil have or have had lol same old story, collecting is a very personal thing, as I'm not active anymore as a DJ on the scene I have moved on some of the so called big hitters and collect basically for me now, don't get me wrong I have never bought a record I did not like but it's easy to get sucked into the you must have the biggies to be a good DJ, it helps but not always the case, if you have pulled these records together in two years then you should be very proud of yourself mate, blood, sweat, teasr and a lot of money lol collecting don't you just love it. Regars - Mark Bicknell.

30 quid sounds about right but 30 quid well spent top tuneage. Mark Bicknell.

I've been playing Ebay rather a lot just recently, wheeling, dealing, buying, selling, been picking up bits and bobs of things I once had or that passed me by over the years, so rather than trawl through page after page on there I find it sometimes quicker to just punch it an Artist name, title etc. just done it on Patti Austin and noticed these £8.99 Buy It Now Coral - I've Given All My Love To You Look A Likes, also seen The Vibrations - Cause Your Mine on this White Okeh looking thingy fuck me they can't even get the label right lol, I know this bootleg thing has been done to death on here but these bloody things seem to be out there in mass, whos doing them? where are they coming from? and why do Ebay allow these things to be sold on there? I don't have a problem with the odd 70's boot, reissue being offered on there but these things are new and current, I thought a couple of people got busted and taken to court but even that seems to make no difference at all. Then there is those nasty looking home made things on there as well, Motown tracks a plenty Oh I so wish they would go after these people which might go someway to stop this abuse of copy right, the joke is that some of the titles are pretty common and cheap enough to look for on the first generation original so makes you wonder whos buying them, they have no investment or rarity value at all and I can't see the point of wanting to own something which has no authenticity, if you just want to own the tune then why not simply download tracks off the internet or buy CD's, seems to be this it has to be on vinyl mentality with the Northern thing but again the joke is buying these fake records has nothing to do with that ethic as it ain't collecting is it? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I would say no more than a 1000 per release maybe 500 in some instances, pretty sure Ady Croasdell will be able to confirm this with his Kent/Select releases, certain titles will sell well and sell out and some will be slow, often people seem to want to collect the label runs when they become deleted, 70's Grapevine being a prime example, but you are right I bet they were done in 5000 plus runs back in the 70's and the likes of Pye Disco Demand much more, basically there were more people out they to buy them than there is now, I personally make a point of getting certainly the new Kent/Selects, full run of Grapevine 2000 and so on. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
