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.

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".

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.

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.

Great release.

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.

Have to agree Mark, just don't get the CD thing, old or new releases. As I said above you would be castigated for playing the download of a new release even though its released at the same time as the vinyl...and CD. Format shouldn't matter with new music or indeed unissued music released by the likes of Kent. It deprives the scene and the dancers of some quality music.

I read earlier that Johnny Brantley told John Anderson there was over ten versions, not sure if this was meant to mean takes by one artist or every one with a different artist?

Pretty sure there is a Nate Adams Atlantic acetate of LSTYF as well. Again both Nate and Herman did Yes You Did, all down to Johnny Brantley I guess who had all the different versions of LSTYF. Wonder if the tapes still exist?

Bobby Harden was the one that made me write but there have been others, some with different colour vinyl etc. But it's not one in particular it's the whole way it is going, the exploitation that goes with it and it can all be avoided.

The CD I have here, Rare & Unissued Georgia Soul 1961-1976 - You Are Too Much For The Human Heart, it was produced by Aaron Fuchs, Rod is nowhere to be seen on the disc. Done in NYC on the Soul Tay Shus label.

The Toward Barnes on the Jo Mar label is a bootleg of the LP version by Ohio Players.

If memory serves me correctly John Anderson said at one Cleethorpes he saw the tapes for Sam Williams with loads of different takes on them.
