You have some of the best people on the scene but we also have some of the worst. We have some of the friendliest but also some of the nastiest. The scene has always had every element of life. It has people you want to talk to and associate with, it has people you are wary of and people you want to avoid. It has more than its fair share of gossips, tittle tattlers, grasses and n'er do wells, thieves and whatever else folk in everyday life get up to. The scene of old always had an edge. You stood your ground and gave back what you took. If you experience unpleasantness go somewhere else, it will be their loss. Not everywhere is like the venue in the Op, there are some excellent venues with excellent people running them and attending them.

All the companies used recycled vinyl. When making the biscuits, all the off cuts, leftovers would be recycled. You can hear it in records from majors to minors when the oxygen gets in the mix.

when you recycle you get oxygen/air in the mix and that can be heard as noise on a recording even if it is mint condition. It all depends on how good the process is though.

I doubt a bootlegger has the tech, the know how or the inclination to do such a thing. The added cost would be quite large too, not just the recycling but the expense of having to buy 100s or 1000s of 45s to recycle.

Something that has been stored away in a box for 50 years will look different in colour to something that hasn't, even if well looked after.

Cheers. They are instrumentals of course but if they were a true instrumental I think we'd have a lot more going on, extra fills from the drummer etc rather than the laying down of a tightly scripted backing track. Think I read by 1964 the musicians and the artists were working seperately so yes probably 1963 was the beginning of the end for the full studio.

Who is the major compiler just to add some context to your answer. Isn’t 1964 when the step from recording as one in the studio began to come to an end. like Ken I wouldn’t class the backing track as a proper instrumental, just the same as the isolated vocal isn’t acapella

Even if they are they only last so long before new ones need making. But taking all assumptions into account, you have to assume they also have old stock of labels which i doubt very much.

They never will either. Everything is different, paper, inks, vinyl, printing methods etc etc….. They might get close but something will give it away. If they are unopened stock they will look like new just like when the lot from the owners estate was found. Everyone was saying all the releases were fake then. Every chance they sat on a box or two waiting for the price to rise.

I'm sure it was played at one of the Lifeline Weekenders? Extremely rare.

Not sure, there are conflicting accounts, some say not and performed as Deliliah Moore after a break and marrying Gerald Moore. She was however in the Triumphs, not seem much to suggest Delores was the one in the Triumphs.

is it a mistake or a rebranding attempt that failed? After all they pressed it twice with different labels, plus the different presses with the Admirations credit? labels reversed as well, one big mess up with that press

rip the cd to your computer, open a mixcloud page and upload to that. You can share the link then oops what Steve sez

I can convert the tape for you

Knew it was Keb first, didn't his then girlfriend buy it for him? All good here mate, due a catch up sometime soon.

No but that's where they came from

Keb as far as I know, think he may have got Gary's?. I guess we will never know the full amount found but it was well into three figures, enough has been said about the find in the past. I don't remember Clarkie playing it at all TBH.

It was Richard Searling's "Embers - Playing The Part Of A Fool" cover up at Wigan. Gary Rushbrooke got one shortly after. Keb then played it at Stafford. Few turned up? 100s more like. The finder got the whole remaining stock from the estate of whoever owned the label.

wouldn't mind the LP if anyone has one

err NO! I don't promote anymore or Dj but if I did on the basis of this topic alone I reckon you've blown your chances with me

you wouldn't Dj anywhere I promoted playing them If you can't afford Salvadors or Alfie then play summat else, enough others got the real thing, no wonder this scene is regressing and has become stale and boring.
