hey dont Laugh but I had a $4,150 snipe but it was wiped out when the $4213 bid went in...realistically i was dreaming to think i could get it for that.. Dave pinch phoned me this morning to offer condolences never mind Geeoooooooordie

probably just using the original scan that Art put up, lazy buggers, or are you thinking something more sinister this is one of the re-sells me thinks Geoooordie

god.....bought this for 25p from rumbelows when it charted to number 35 in dec 1977, cinzano advert medley............i must have had a siezure that week to buy this shite.. Geeoooordie

Just to add .FYI have corresponeded with the guy on a few occaisions as has a good friend of mine The container of goods is of a closed down thrift store stock that he bought that used to sell records as part of its business, so its not a container just full of records but brick a brack etc is included as well. The total number of four tracks was 24 in the "haul" the ones appearing on ebay seem to be from buyers who are passing on what has been bought from him by his buyers hoping to make a quick buck from the deal he gave them, hes now being elusive, as would anyone when demand is high but the offers are low, hes in business to make money and now that hes researched it doesnt want to get shafted so to speak, he is a seller of general things (thrift etc ) not soul music, (see his past sell items on ebay) hence why it was listed badly on the very first listing including the fabulous appollos etc. however what titles are left of other tunes im not sure. cant wait to find out...but its nice to hear the speculation drums beating when things like this happen.....doesn't it get the old adrenalin going Geeooooordie

to quote ex political stalwart dennis healy, This thread has left me feeling like ive been ravaged by a dead sheep. Geeoooooordie

Bri you binned yours and then bought one off me...pretty good label...but still a tad off centre Geeoooordie

8786 views and 355posts................and i still dont know (or care) who was the person who drew all this venom and spit . bugger me im tired of this thread now Geeooooordie

No. I never mentioned deceit. You did. I was asking Joan if the use of the word "evil" might be over the top in this case. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, do you think then that all deceit is evil ?

Agree Fine example chalky is Dottie pearson...Bring it over baby.....Wow grapevine only...i play the arse off it ...fantastic Geeooooordie

Quite true there is a collectors circle in the states - worlwide who collect boots..some of them hit big money...some boot labels etc are pretty impressive, i can see the attraction in collecting them for that...but not to play. Geeoooooordie

Who's that aimed at!!!!!!slippers..... kippers ....im lost Geeooooordie G

Hey good point if its previously unreleased does that make the CD the original release, mmmmmmmm.....still couldnt bring myself to play off a cd..i think id feel a bit weird... Geeooooooordie

At the Friendship at xmas we were joking & talking about the amount of vinyl on the stage and then did a quick...."bloody hell" count...and estimated that there was approx £400,000 worth of vinyl on the stage...we promote a venue for originals, thats what the paying public expect from our venue so we provide. my take is.... as long as i keep my credibility, make sure our venue keeps it real and i keep it real when i dj out and about...then i keep my head held high....i do feel it tarnishes the venue if its decent money in and there boots played but if its only a £1 in...well the old addage is ..you get what you pay for. so these venues who allow boots should say anything goes and its only £1 Geeoooooordie

GREEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT sound.....was tearful when Mr whiteley sold this as its one of my fave double siders....i really like never had a girl, but everytime is awesome. Geeoooooordie

I think you gave him three years allowance brilliant Geeooordie

Me too up since three at work at 5pm Karate at 6pm and ham string pulled at 6:15pm what a shitter, then beaten up by my 10 year old daughter who scored a Mawashageri to me chin and floored me...thats life geeooordie

If you hunt on ebay or on the top dealers you should get one for £10-15 not that rare...but bloody good Geeoooordie

ouch your a little touchy, what you may have read to what actually happens is not the same, contact the prs...they actually have a decent web site...or read the original post it actually explains what the prs do its not the top 20 tunes etc if it was how come bobby womack and co still get royalties for tunes written performed as the valentinos (his own words very recently) My dig is at the originals only brigade...like i say im one of them but i do go the extra mile.and try to do right. hey dont loose sweat over it, its only music nobodys preaching Geeoooordie

Shame... how mislead you are, i did say the amount is paltry but, its actually about a 100th of a penny that gets spread across the tunes that are registered as played, but not many people are going to waste any time doing that ...but then if they did maybe it may be more than 100th of a penny Geeooordei

we have this thread regularly these days, and theres always the royalty issue that gets brought up But how many of you who tout the "we must keep it real" banner and also dj, promote etc, check that the venue you are using is PRS licensed ????? Ive brought this up many a time and no one ventures into it, i do because i practice it, If not your not only breaking the law but defrauding the artist, so what is PRS Performing Rights Society The Performing Right Society (PRS) is a non-profit membership organisation which collects licence fees from music users, PRS then distributes the money to its members, the writers and publishers of music, and to affiliated societies worldwide. This is regardless of whether the music performed is live or by recorded means - be it from a television, a jukebox, or through the internet. Who needs a PRS Music Licence? - Any location or premises where music is played and can be heard by the public. - Any premises outside the home, from clubs to concert halls, from discos to dentists' waiting rooms, and from trains to take aways. - Usually, the proprietor/manager of the premises is responsible for obtaining a PRS Music Licence. Is a PRS Music Licence required by law? Yes. The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 means that if you use copyright music in public, you must first obtain permission from every writer or composer whose music you intend to play. In the UK, they represent these copyright owners, so a PRS Music Licence gives you the legal permission to play just about any copyright music in the world repertoire. A PRS Music Licence is required regardless of the ownership of any other type of licence. How long does copyright last? In the UK, copyright generally lasts for a period of 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the author, writer dies. If the music originates from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the copyright lasts for as long as the music is protected by copyright in its country of origin, provided that the length of time does not exceed 70 years. So by my estimate there are still a lot of tune's around in copyright that are played on the Northern Scene, so the old "the artist or writer wont get owt after all this time" doesn't stand up does it, So to have real vinyl is one thing (i must admit originals only for me) We at the friendship have ensured that the venue is PRS registered yes the amount that gets through is probably paltry but hey go the distance and play the tune document it and file it with PRS........ give the people their dues no matter how small P.S. it doesnt matter what format its played in either CD, MP3, boot, it's the tune that counts, once it is played royalties are due. Geeoooooordie

Just sold a buautiful Summer Day 45 demo for £25 nice tune not that rare Geoordie

I read recently in a collectors magazine that The La coupe "boot" as you say was actually a bona fide release to cope with the demand of the new york club scene..its a fully licenced release, piss poor quality though Geeoooordie

Mark whiteley are you reading this ......poor old mark had a devil of a clanger with a certain gwen owens.......i'll contact him and ask him to place a photo...its makes you weep....... many a time ive packed a few too many in my box and cracked one...unfortunatly there never the cheapies that crack. Geeoooooooordie
