  1. Some of the most respected people on the rare soul scene have in the past been "involved" directly in bootlegs and that's a fact, 

    In some cases it may be the loan of in demand records for dubbing or actual commissioning & manufacture or distribution of product,

    I am not saying this makes them bad people as such, many of the individuals have later gone "legit" in the business,

    There is no secret about this its all in the public domain,

    I think personally if somebody pays over the odds for record (boot)

    They have only themselves to blame, due to lack of research & asking the correct questions.

    And don't forget this works both ways when buying what is perceived as a boot or second issue when the seller is unaware that it is in fact an rare original.

    Lastly if somebody buys a box of old 70's pressings for a fiver each and sells them for £10, £20 or £40 each does that make them robbing bast@rds in my opinion it doesn't.

    Really? I forced myself to watch them all and it's even worse than 'vinyl' and that was pretty cringing and got canned. The only redeeming factor is some of the music, but it's farcical on the whole - the acting, script, and continuity are awful, the dance routines are laughable, and that 'set me free' track is just really irritating. 

    Apart from all that I loved it, particularly when it got to the final credits and I thought 'thank f**k that's finished' :)

     

    I thought Vinyl was pretty good

  3. I had added a comment, but I guess it got lost.  Anyhoo, I cannot remember why Joe Buckman was listed alone if he recorded with the Metros, but who knows (or can remember) what happened back then?

    What I am glad about is the reaction that people are having off of these old songs.  It is great to see that some people still care.

    Hi Lorraine,

    I can assure you there are many people who still care very much x

    all we need now is a "Pied Piper Review" in the U.K. !! ........sadly not all the artists are with us anymore,

    Lorraine would love to know your thoughts on the idea?
