I think it was one that was booted "in anticipation" of demand, which never came. Like the "Uncle in Florida" would send it over for plays at The Casino, and press it up thinking the demand would follow, but it didn't. A bit like "Moving forward" Nat T Jones which is also not common on a pressing.

It's not anything like Willie Tee is it? Probably just the latest ruse that some mugs will fall for. :-)

If it is Willie Tee that is the mother of all colds Dave!

Giving records away is still distribution in the eyes of the law, and these records were not authorised copies. The only difference was that it was small scale. I was offered some of the boots for free from the bloke who showed them to me (Hertsofsoul) when I told him they were not real records. Did I want them? No, and hertsofsoul and hammer soul can both confirm that. If this was about people being nasty, someone would have called trading standards and you know what they can be like. All this was ever about was finding out what records had been pressed, so collectors weren't duped (which has happened plural). So no need for pulling out the tired old boring as hell "victim" card.

It's a rum business these days isn't it Ivor. I feel so sorry for the younger collectors getting ripped off with this crap by scum.

There was also a celeb on a few weeks ago answering questions on Aretha Franklin. The questions were awful, really obscure and mostly about her early career. She got 5 points, I think I got 5 points f.f.s. It comes down to the researcher (and what is on the internet) who is unlikely to be a fan or on our wavelength.

Innersection another boot.

I agree just checked my copy. Nasty.

Bob Sinclair is a low though I do agree. Had to endure an extra long version at one do, pain!

Has always been that way though. I remember a lawyer at work who told me he used to be into northern in the early 70s, has a loft full of records etc. I said what is your favourite? And he said "The Boys in the Band" on Spring.

Indeed. The paint brush effect again. I wonder…..with the right contact, I bet you could get some of these done in the UK somewhere or Europe, with a bit of "cash under the table" / after hours. There seems to be a lot of these swirl boots appearing now.

Never seen it before Pete, who is this one from?

A familiar story. (sighs)

Gary DEFINITELY did Rebels. I remember it he was on quite late and I remembered thinking at the time that he didn't sit too well with the other DJs on the line up. It was like a modern nighter with an hour of 60s thrown in towards the end.

You are far too modest Phil. You have some great tunes.
