It was slightly over 300 USD...I was second highest.

currently thinking about uncovering one C/UP because of some small quantity of the title having just recently turned up (with one collector) still there´s no noise about it with the usual suspects so I presume they all went quitely into collectors collections...on the other hand thinking about putting C/UP stickers on three "new" ones...but currently cant be arsed to do any of the two things mentioned LOL !! It hasnt to be taken all too serious, has it ? Marc NB great post nick!

I agree with you and matt that there`s a lot of DJ`s around, a lot of good and in cases fantastic DJ`s. So it wouldnt be the end of all things SOUL. Far from it. But its just what I quoted above what I seriously doubt. I have yet to see a DJ (except for Andy Dyson) who can match the number and quality of tunes butch has consistently found or made big (again) over the decades. I really cant see one single DJ let alone a big number of DJ`s who could fill the gap. Its not about playing different stuff. Its about playing different top quality stuff IMO.

Well, MC H over here

Agree that there`s a lot of DJ`s out there. Male and female, young and old, knowledgeable or not. But neither do I have the time nor do I wish to wait ten years plus until they "maybe" will be able to deliver the goods in form such as one certain Mr Dobson can do any night. A loss of any of these two great guys as DJ`s would indeed be a LOSS.

MC H also known as Mick H thankfully will keep on keeping on By the way, he´ll be guesting at the upcoming Hip City on May 21st Dont think bUTCH! really wantzs to retire 100%. Pretty sure he will just and only be more selective in where he deejays at. Cant see Bamberg, Lifeline, 100Club or even our little anniversary nights happening without him. Bet he cant as well

the worst enemies for a "new" sound are availability, overplay and (too early) re-issueing or even bootlegging. DJ`s cover up 45s to safe them ...not only for themselves but also for the "scene". Long live the C/UP I say and long may it continue that people are able to find new and worthy of a C/UP sticker tunes.

ANOTHER BUNCH OF TOUGH ONES TO GO !! Mickie Champion What Good Am I Without You Musette M (-) condition-wise in fact the best copy you have and/or will ever see 600 UKP HOLD Ambers Another Love Smash EX+ 100 UKP SOLD Dusty Wilson It`s Gonna Be A Tragedy Mutt EX 750 UKP

Eddy Hughes 13 years old ? never..the picture on the back of his fan club member ship card shows a young man in his mid-late twenties.

would have to search myself now...it came to light in one of the topics about harvey scales in previous years...will try to find that info again.

which one bob, it came out wih two different flipsides.

wasnt it keb who used to play two c/up while giving one parts of the real name of the other and vice versa ? fabulous idea as well...as long as it doesnt give too much information away .

Oh yes, another great aspect of the beauty/beast named C/UP...the great names one can create. Yours are quite..."funky" already The best yet so far though I must say was Tim Browns creation of "Lee Crandle Experience"...a former writer of zoological books from the century before last...who would have come to think of that LOL ! Best name I came up with so far is the "Sweet Milliners"...just ´cause my girl is a milliner

Another funny one happened at one of my first visits to the Hideaway club late nineties /start of 2000...shortly before my first set David Minta said " Oh I have a great new unknown 45 with me...will play it later as aC/UP"...then I start deejaying and after I had announced one of my first spins of the night Tommy Jay "Tender Love" ...Mr MInta came to me with a unhappy look on his face saiyng "blimey, that WAS my C/UP" priceless ! LOL!

Fastest I had was 5 minutes on the computer...heard it at a weekender on the saturday night, got back on sunday night, as I had no computer at home first stop after train station on the way home was was the internet cafe..5 min later I had the real identity...not the record though LOL !

Absolutely right Chalky. But then again as long as you have it as a C/UP you can not really know how rare the record really is, can you ? Ebay and what tunrs up on there is not always a 100% correct indicator on a records rarity and we have witnessed it happening oh so often that once the cat is out copies appear everywhere...a case of people (collectors and dealers) having copies filed away not knowng the record in question is "hot" simply because its been played disguised as a C/UP ? But in general I agree on what you say.

Hah! Funny you say that! You know what was the most surprising moment for me when watching Soulboy ? It was when all of a asudden this song apperared n the background Understanding the makers of said film had some Wigan DJ`s telling them what was being played at the Casino I presume it indeed was played back then already ? Marc

C/UPs ..especially in these days of the internet where a new purchase is only one click away...are simply necessary to keep fresh tunes fresh indeed and not overplayed too soon because of the possibilty they are being included in (too) many other dj`s spots. Rescue from Overdose. IMO. Currently have about four C/UP s in my box and some already filed back in the collection which have all not cost too much. No sense in C/UP 1 or two copy rarities though really ...agree with has been said on that before. Plus...its soooo much fun LOL!...on both sides. As much as I enjoy doing a C/UP I love to try to find out the real identiy of other peoples C/UPs. And I also agree on what Matt said on this subject...never been more easy then today with the internet on your side

hate to disagree with you mate, but its been known for quite some time

cheers

feel free to make me an offer for a mint minus copy.
