    I've heard one or two and they were terrible, murdered classic Northern. I generally associate them with handbagger and div events. They aren't for traditionalists and have no effect on what I do or where I go. I would generally avoid any event with one on. But Northern seems to be a popular bandwagon to jump on so I expect to see more of this kind of rubbish.

    More information about "Stax Records - New HBO TV Series In Production"
    A new multi part series about the rise and fall of the legendary Memphis label in in production and will show on HBO. Founded in 1957 by Jim Stewart and his sister Estelle Axton, originally as Satellite Records and it gave us some of Soul Music's legendary performers before it went in to bankruptcy in the mid 70s. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/stax-records-hbo-docuseries/

    Always loved this record since first hearing all those years ago. Never had a sniff of it when I was collecting these kinda records.

    if you have a prime account then it is free postage on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Really-Useful-Storage-Box-Litre/dp/B01M29ZSWN/ref=sr_1_4?crid=7GJBTW7O8285&keywords=really+useful+box+9l+xl&qid=1651648790&sprefix=really+useful+box+9l+xl%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-4

    for the 45s you want the 9L box with the XL lid. This one https://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/onlineshop/rub/b09_0litreXL.php

    But one-upmanship was about playing an exclusive or one of just a few, not one of 300/500 or even a 1000.

    Why distinguish though? Both from same master, both identical. Every big seller has several presses, you don't see radio and club djs bitching about which came first. Just keep them the same and put a stop to the exploitation and uneasy that exists.
  13. Chalky
    They can pay what they want in my opinion. But there is no need to make an instant rarity and no need to distinguish a second run from the first pressing run. They are both first issues, both originals. Its the whole stupid ideology some seem have in their hearts about playing one over the other. It seems to be more about the colour of a label, or the vinyl rather than "what's in the grooves".
  14. Chalky
    It is download only as of yet and it is available now on some sites.

    Stop advertising as limited edition. As soon as you say limited edition people who don’t want the record or even like the record buy one so they can rip someone else off. It should be strictly one per customer too to give others a chance. You see those out to exploit when they ask “how many copies”. It shouldn’t matter, the quality should be the over riding factor to a sale, not how many are produced, what label, what colour vinyl etc.

    Thanks Dean, thats illustrates my point exactly, it is barmy isn’t it. I don’t get just what they think they are getting from this, some sort of ego kick in front of their mates when behind the decks? It just show how ill informed and lacking education on the matter they are.

    Respect to Smudger. Nice to see not everyone out to rip off everyone else

    I presume discogs is wrong with the link to a 30s bandleader and the 50s band. https://www.discogs.com/artist/386695-Earl-Jackson https://www.discogs.com/artist/2765922-Earl-Jackson-Orchestra

    Back on topic and the down side to this different label crap etc is Dala missed out on a sale with the buyer I would guess being happy to pay three times the retail price and get one of a dealer on discogs? A repress is the first issue and stays that way until it is deleted. When new masters are made with new matrix details it then becomes a reissue. It is high time it went back to being about the music. That goes for the labels, collectors and Djs. The silly idea it isn’t original because a second run was done with a different label or wax is just plain daft, a change of mentality is needed by all.

    I’d love to see the photos too. May have a copy of the mag, sure I have a box of Manifesto somewhere. I only have the first seven of my own but got some copies later, will check sometime.
  21. Chalky
    Totally different discussion though. I’m not talking about boots, following Butch or a anyone else for that matter. I’m not even talking about Djing really just collecting. Again you seem to miss the point of the discussion as well.

    Chalky commented on Pep's event in Allnighters

    You'll do great pal...you deserve that kind of stage as well.

    Great release.
  24. Chalky
    I think you missed the whole point of the post, it's not about whether a record is crap or not, every record made has its lovers as well as its detractors. As for the upper echelons, there aren't many I would pay good money to listen too these days, most are playing the same boring sets we have heard for decades and paying thousands and thousands to keep themselves there. There are some with some of the best records in the world overlooked and rarely booked in the UK.....but that's a different argument.

    Last nights show, 28th April and a great two hours with special guests Girdwood Inc, Lynne and Dave all the way from over the border in Scotland.
