Thank you Mik, for taking a minute to understand exactly what I do and why I do it. I'd never dream of djing with reissue records when people were there with originals. Although I have to say one thing, if I was offred a DJ spot I could easily do one from originals, I have 4 or 5 thousand in this very room, I just like my own Top 500 thats all.

Not really, but he is pretty prolific on facebook so probably just decided to leave...

Milton Wright is not a bootleg, it's a legitimately pressed record. But it was pressed only for the Northern scene, it wasn't 'released' and is therefore a custom pressing of which there is no 60's original. Doesn't make it any less rare than an original which only sold 300 copies, but to me it'll always be a pressing and I sell it as such, on the rare occasion I get it - 3 so far - £20, £40, £50. Next one may be slightly higher.

Sold EH for £30 last month. Might have been £35. Had a stack of Grapevines all at once.

If I said to you I've got a box of pressings for sale, you'd know what I mean though? Various reissues and bootlegs. Grapevine 2000's were new releases. 100 Club records are one off limited editions. Not sure why you're haggling about a word. The Milton Wright record is a pressing. The bloke who pressed it says it's a pressing.

That was kind of the point I was making - they don't know - and they don't care.

Tony Rounce (I don't have any heroes - well maybe Steve Bull - but Tony is someone I listen to and take notice of because I know I'm going to learn something)

Thats the odd thing, I've done over 250 podcasts and not one single person has complained that a track wasn't taken off original vinyl

Backing is the same - I meant the arrangement to include the old doo-wop intro as backing vocals

I'm the same as you, it was a great source for reggae as well but it's been maybe 18 months to 2 years since I bought from USA eBay now

It's a 2000's release of a 1960's song...

I'd love to hear this Mick if you can post it somewhere

How about a "Request To Buyers" topic, starting with don't expect every old record to be in the condition it was in when it left the factory FIFTY YEARS AGO.

No 'pressing' in the old term was any record pressed for the Northern scene, legit or not - it could be a bootleg or it could be a licensed release. People didn't ask questions in the 70's Benji. When the latest Soul Galore record came out with the words "exclusively licensed to Soul Galore", nobody actually bothered or was interested to find out if that was true.

No, I didn't take it personally but everyone has a reason for buying the things, some do it because they want to attempt to look or sound good in a dj spot, I do it cos I like playing them at home when my originals have gone - thats all..

Pressing - not a bootleg - a record custom made for the Northern Soul scene and pressed to fill that demand - same as if someone pressed 300 copies of one of todays monsters - you wouldn't call it an 'original' would you even if it hadn't been released before.

£462 for a pressing though. There are other pressings done in the same quantity which only fetch £25. Freddie Butler on Kapp for instance.

Like me you mean? I am a record dealer - I cannot keep original records for myself, much as I'd like to, I'd have the best collection in the world by now if I did. But if I don't sell them, I don't make any money, so I sell them and if I like them I replace them with a cheap copy so I can play it whenever I feel like it. And no, I couldn't make do with an mp3 or a cd, because there's nothing tangible there like there is when you put a record on to play.

Here you go mate HI PETE-IT WAS A MADE UP NAME––DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING JUST DIDN'T WANT TO USE SOUL IN THE LABEL NAME–JOHN

I should also say I still buy one or two, I sold Stemmons Express on Karma a couple of weeks ago and replaced it with a boot. Why? Cos I still like to play it. Podcasts etc.

I agree, I'm just saying that in the 70's it was the only way to hear a lot of the records.

That's a different version of Two Lovers by Mary Wells being played by Tony Blackburn - I think

I'll ask him...
