A copy here Tony...... https://cgi.ebay.com/VG-1966-Charles-Thomas...1QQcmdZViewItem

That sounds very true to me Mark...and I did spit my cup of tea all over my keyboard when I read the last paragraph....

I think the felt pen on the label had a lot to do with the price Pat.

Very good, I enjoyed reading that....I never realised that the oldies thing started so far back. Hard to believe, when you consider the quality stuff that was still being discovered at that time, and after, with the Stafford era etc.

Very easy to tell when you have it in your hand. Bit tricky on ebay like.....anyone ever seen a demo of this? does it exist? would love to see a scan if it does.....a bit like the Martha Star-Love is the only solution- white demo, would also love to see. ...

Padlocks Ted.....

Yes, they are all like that, it depends on the covers that you use how many you can get in them. I'm sure I used to get 150 to 160 in the ones that Tim sells. The ones on the Blacka site don't look as long to me. But they are deffinately made by them.

Yes Chalky, they are the ones from Blacka acoustics that I put the link up for earlier. Wasn't sure if Tim still sold them in the shop.

This is the firm that make them Chalky, but for some reason I can't see them on the site. But I used to have one. Held about 150 in a single row, with one of those spring covered in plastic type handles. I'm sure if you contact them they'll sort you one out mate. https://www.blackaacoustics.co.uk/index.htm

How come James has been playing it for years then? Has he had 2 copies? I want it more than you do Pete.......

Sounds brilliant, thanks, I'm going to get a copy.

PM me with your offer.....I may let my copy go..... Phil.

That Cavaliers track that James Trouble has been playing is fan-bloody-tastic....thought it would have been out by now.....I was shown a track listing months ago.

I calmed down and edited my original post........ truly fantastic record that epitomizes what I love about the scene....

Just a couple of points on this subject. Pete S keeps saying that there is no difference between originals and boots....well I beg to differ Pete. I bought a couple of boots when I first started collecting again ....... both were very rare on original, and I wanted to record them on mini disc for home use, as I didn't have them on cd......both were of such terrible sound quality that I gave them away without recording them. I'd rather not have them than listen to such lousy recordings. Also Pete. I remember a while ago you posting up a little home movie of you going through your record box of original records.....why weren't you proudly showing us your boots? or were they carvers with bootleg labels? And as Davie said earlier....I have more respect for promoters who play off cd's at local nights. At least they aren't pretending to be something they aren't.... I'm with Mark Bicknell, Adam and Joan Phil.

Two people both want the same record badly.....that's all it takes.....

Started to get a playbox together, for a proper oldies night that I had been asked to start. Unfortunately, it never got off the ground as the lads that I wanted to DJ on a regular basis weren't that interested. Anyhow, it was going to be proper oldies from the Wheel, Catts, Torch and early Mecca etc. So here for sale are the few that I got together before it got knocked on the head. All quality tunes in great condition. Would sell as one lot if anyone was interested. Cheque or cash only please.
