I am now confused - when we are talking about modern are we talking about 70s northern type things or 1990s - Y210K type fair? Or both? A million miles between the two and whilst some of us appreciate both, seems to be Modern is not a defined term, so no wonder people don't stay past 2 am

Yep but you are like me, you like both modern and northern. We ARE a minority Hun. Perhaps we should get a discount on admission, on the basis that we won't complain to the promotor about the music

Wow thanks, and say Hi to Dean

Err only some of it now.

Oh OK, shame I didn't see it earlier as I'd have asked him to plug Movin on barcelona on June 5th. Not a problem at all, I am just being a "sticky beak" as trhey say in Oz.

Why is he plugging stuff he doesn't know about? A bit odd that's all/

But you are such a minority Theresa. you have to admit modern rooms do 'clear out' early and why wouldn't they, as they don;'t have the same all nighter legacy thing that northern soul has.

Err, I do all of those. Plus crossover, and can turn in a mean two step / deep set as well. But I'm not a "trendy" name.

You are all "In" DJs Dave.

Likewise Dave. Unfortunately we appear to be a recognised "minority".

Agree. True modern and northern are not natural bedfellows really either.

No shortcuts stop trying to be lazy . Depends what you've bought. For northern / xover/ 70s - half book price. Deep funk - 20% of book price For 12s - zero unless known collectibles. Use for starting a bonfire. CD's £1 each cos that's all you'll get.

Thanks for posting that Rob, but hey another review that misses out his Avco 45 and his first LP. What's with these internet turnips that can't get their facts right.? Fookin ameteurs.

You didn't buy it from Paul Kyser did you? :thumbsup:

Moral to the story is simple, don't deal with Paul Kyser. Even the "ageing process" on this - tea stains and hoover dust isn't that good. Next he'll be telling you he has some great unissued stuff and you'll all be chasing his tail again.....

You sir, are beginning to sound like what we in the UK refer to as a "Merchant Banker" This is what you said this morning: "Paul got a few from his ex-wife last year. He and I had hatched a plan (that worked!) to get them from her. They are real, but all this doubt to their authenticity was all too much headache for him or I to deal with. Paul is not a poor or desperate man, and I really don't see him A) needing to pass off fake represses as real for money B) Doing such a good job if he did (!) C) making 8 copies. There has been no flood of these (pictured) copies around to suggest otherwise. " Now you're saying "Hey don't have a go at me, blame Paul" when you've been on here bleating about "plans" and the records being "real" etc. when clearly they are not! Wise up fella.

Oh right, We're not stupid over here mate. Press 300 copies - cost $600. Trash 290, sell 10 at £700 = £7,000. R-E-S-U-L-T.

Has it been confirmed that PK did these? If so, well it looks like he nearly got away with it doesn't it. I spose for these fellas they are bombarded with desperate Brits waving their cheque books, and it's their chance to make a fast buck. Of course it's totally immoral, but I guess that's why they do it. One of the biggest mistakes we make is because we're by and large a friendly bunch, we assume that everyone involved with the original music are good people. They ain't. Half of them are husslers, and never paid the fooking singers, session musicians, record co's etc. For every nice guy, there's a dodgy one out there. Once again "buyer beware" etc. Know your subject. Years ago he was interviewed by Tim A in a mag (Rare Soul Review) and he said he didn't have any copies. So how is he suddenly going to magically find more copies years later? In his attic? - give me a break! This crap has been going on for years - Johnny Watson back in the 90s etc. passed off as an original until Tim A saw it, and blew the lid off the fraud. It ain't new. and it;ll happen again. Anyway hope those that were done get their money back. But I doubt it. Someone's probably driving round in a new car by now.....

That's my point, a fool and his money etc. Any other collectible, you'd be very careful I'd have thought. If you went to an antiques fair and someone said "It's an original Clarice Cliff Steele Teapot £700 to you Guv, but as your Missus is so good looking £675 to you, can't say fairer than that" you'd want to check the authenticity of the item, so why is record buying any different? Three examples now of Craig getting it wrong, so he needs to "tighten the drum up" on his operation. Being big is no ecxuse for a string of errors. Steve

Is he still bumping out all those cheap copies of "Teacherman" he got from Soul Bowl for lots of money ?

WARNING "DODGY LYRICS" ALERT

Just read the other thread. CM does seem to be being a bit careless -with WOmbat and Buster & Eddie,,,,,,,Anyway would have thought before anyone parts with $200 for a record they look to check if its an orig / 1st issue etc. So can see both sides of the argument,

Of course. Why? You been had by someone?

Yes by that was a straight cover version at the time - think it's on Ebony - got one somewhere Terry - fear not, I never put the pop in the playbox It stays at home.....
