Alright Ady, one day you'll be able to write something to me without being sarcastic, I won't wait up..

So for instance, that jeff perry clip that everyone is raving over which I sent up, would you rather I kept that for myself and never let anyone see it? (I did not source that clip by the way)

Well they are a bit slow in coming forward aren't they. When Tim Brown first got hold of those Beat videos and he was selling them for £100 for six tapes, I couldn't get payment to him fast enough. Couldn't believe there was going to be a chance to see such material. You would rather nobody see the stuff because of your principals, fine, I'd rather pay Tim £100 and see stuff I could never have dreamed of ever seeing. And I honestly believe that most people would want to do that.

Sort yourself out Mark Freeman, two decent records out of 20

Dave, thanks for the ideas mate. But it's all going to bring hassle down on me so I'm not going to persue it or argue with record company types.

But 95% of these clips are lost - literally - they are not owned by anyone, unlike a Barbara McNair Motown recording. I repeat...if I, and others, hadn't sourced these, you would never have seen them. You can't have it both ways. Anyway, like I said, it was a suggestion that someone put to me and I'm just passing it on. My hands are full enough selling original records anyway. (records that artists don't receive royalties on by the way)

You always focus one one particular thing but totally miss the point that if I (and one or two others) hadn't collected video clips since the early 80's, nobody would be seeing any of these clips anyway. Which way do you want it? £10 to me and material everyone can see, or nothing for anyone?

I got a copy 3 or 4 weeks ago and reviewed it on here, how quickly people forget doubt if I'll be able to find the review now but I was right about one thing...I said Jennifer Hudson should be Oscar nominated - and last week, she was!

Which is of course...Ernest Mosely's Stubborn Heart! They must have been doing them both at the plant at the same time you reckon?

Hey the last one I found really is good. And I mean really. And it's not Rodd Keith either.

is that you singing after a night on the ale???

What are they doing now???

I bid £46 on that

Trouble is, records like this are from a bygone generation and they'll never come back...except for those of us with fond memories of Wigan! The matrix on this is: X (kind of) then R0702 gap 71L2976

Basically, the bootleg book says the boot is vinyl white demo - well I knew this - but I bought an original vinyl white demo...just checked with John and it is actually an original vinyl white demo. Which is nice

Very easy. Rip it using windows media player but in settings, get it to rip as an MP3 not a WM file. Basically thats it, though I reduce the size drastically using the brilliant Acoustica MP3 to Wav converter (free download)

Er...ok! Pleasure does anyone want the Nate Adams posting up or not?

Can someone tell me exactly what's in the run off on the Rona's Theme bootleg please? Thanks!

Love Slipped Thru My Fingers - herman hitson - acetate 14155 refosoul

Done your film by the way, just not posted cos run out of jiffy bag things!

I never thought of that!

Yes but I'm talking about making the discs up from the originals, don't forget I reduced the quality to put them on to youtube quite considerably. I have no problem with anyone taking the clips. It's just that a lot of people don't have the time or the patience to download, convert from flv, burn onto disc etc.

You've all seen the clips I've been putting up on YouTube for a few months now. This was suggested to me today by someone on here, I won't say who, and it is a really good suggestion but I thought I would ask you lot what you think because I know for a fact someone is going to yell BOOTLEG! Pete You have over 200 clips on YouTube, here's a thought. Publish a list and ask people to select, say 25, from then list If you can remove the you tube graphics etc (which I can because I have the original clips) you'll then have a unique DVD per customer. Most of this stuff ain't gonna come out 'together' ie All the 'preferred clips' on one DVD. I'd be more than happy to pay say 20 quid for one. In fact I'd probably buy more than one. I know you've done stiuf with clips before, but I can't remember seeing clips of artists grouped together from you before. Just an idea Mate.

I received an email from Ray and he said it wasn't him who posted it originally so someone else snatched it off here. Sod it, no good crying over spilt milk.

Music was crap everywhere at that time until Searlings fantastic newies hit the scene.
