Yes. Mind boggling.

I think there's plenty of people play pressings every week Dave

"But the point is Pete it WAS sold as an original. So the idea that these won't filter out doesn't hold water despite what you are being told. Full marks for getting the fella his money back". Sorry I am trying to reply to Steve's comment but can't quote it so pasted it above: if you give these records to someone and say look you can have these but you are not allowed to sell them, how can you police that if someone decides to get greedy and go rogue with it. I've sat on these copies for months, you didn't even know half the titles until I told you yesterday. That's because I was told they were for me and not to be sold or swapped or discussed.

When you put it like that it does but what if it was all meant to be kept within a tight circle of people who could maybe get away with dj-ing with them?

By the way, that was despicable to do that.

For God's sake, that was sold months before I even heard about these, Dave Flynn asked me if I knew anything about it, I said only that I've got a copy, and I actually got the bloke his money back even though it was nothing to do with me, I was given a name and asked if I could help and indirectly I was able to get the guy his money back.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me where they are being offered for sale...

https://soulfulrecords.com/catalog/3 why is this such a big deal when the above goes on every day every week and they have hundreds of counterfeits...is it just because of who might or might not be involved?

Involved in what exactly?

So be it. At least I've got all the facts though, you haven't.

What absolute bullsh*t. Why would anyone want to affect the collector's market? It would hurt me and other dealers. Ridiculous assumptions.

30 copies, not 50. £1000 per title, so £20,000 spent making them.

But if I sold it I wouldn't have the set...

Yes for sure but I don't want to sell any of mine.

Yes but again...where are the copies for sale? Could you get any of them, right now?

No I mean you saying there could be more, up to 50 titles - I don't know if I could think of 50 records

Are there 50 titles worth making though? There's a few in that 20 that would barely sell 10 copies - I wouldn't buy Val Simpson, Okaysions, Districts...

It’s possibly because current vinyl pressing machines have factors in common, but this is not correct. The new ones were made in America.

Well thanks for saying that Mark.

And again, I will tell you that it won't be from me because I have one copy of each and I do not sell bootlegs as originals. Seriously, one copy. and I want to keep Salvadors, Sam W etc.

Can't argue with any of that.

They're not crap, they're really good actually, and people would pay decent money for them if they were on sale, I'd have bought them. Again, I ask why you're not worried about the people selling hundreds of copies of every known Northern record on ebay. Unfortunately everybody got the same packs so now there are hundreds of copies of the same records everywhere! Oh what like the money you get by selling originals, I'm sure you donate the profit to charity.

Oh well still need a couple for the set :-)

Have you got them? Always thought that was dodgy
