  1. I'll check this evening
  2. I have got quite a lot (73 to be precise) of ARP test/quality control presses from both the Motown stable of labels and HDH's Invictus/Hot Wax/ Music Merchant setup and every single one of them has the ARP stamp. Not to say they didn't do any that weren't stamped. But, having got quite a few, I would be looking for some very serious authentication on a record that doesn't have a stamp. Like info from someone who worked there saying they did occasionally do records without stamps. Just my thoughts anyway.
  3. Looks like several ARP test presses I have. The real giveaway though will be if it has the ARP stamp. If it has, it's real. If it hasn't it's not. Simple as that really.
  4. Nah. You need to have the white demo to sit alongside it. If only for the fact that (very occasionally) you can play both sides back to back
  5. I offered £8000 but never even got a reply
  6. 90%
  7. There was a guy from Bradford some years ago with a penchant for embellishment. I designed a record and label for him. The record was "I Can't Stop Lying" on Dickhead Records by Martin M***ley and The Five Quid Wraps
  8. What a truly daft and pointless question. Some cynical person might think that by asking the question, that you intend to do as you've described to records with beat up labels that you do own, then maybe do the same to some records you don't own (ie bootlegs). Then play said items at your Leeds Central alldayer. Who would know what's a fooked label and what's a bootleg? I wouldn't think that. But maybe some cynical people just might.
  9. That copy is long gone. I think I have another somewhere in the picture sleeve. Great record btw
  10. I did. But that was for Levine's SWONS film. Just for the graphics. Each record used in the pastiches was a 45. Obviously this one didn't exist so I made one up. When you played it it played Sister Europe by the Psychedelic Furs I also created Little Ann - Who Are You Trying to Fool and Barbara Lewis - The Stars. This however, is a million miles from photocopy labels stuck on fooking boots to fool people into thinking you've got the real record
  11. No. That's a different bunch. At least if they play mp3's they're not pretending to own a record that they don't.
  12. They are primarily used by cnuts creating labels to try and convince people that their worthless shite boots are originals. They then get booked to DJ at their mates do's, and parade around preening themselves thinking oh how clever they are. They go around in little groups. I don't know what a suitable collective term for such sad creatures is, but I'll have a think
  13. I for one don't like people who I don't know coming up and chatting to me. I'm quite happy sat by myself at an event where I don't know many people.
  14. I will go and see the film. However, the book is a thinly disguised charged for promo/advert for the film. It is very subjective and doesn't dig really deep. Some of the photos are OK though
  15. Spot on Martyn. However, the reality is that some tosser who had a tourist visit to Wigan in 1977 and saw Wigans Ovation on top of the pops thinks he's a returnee soulie who always kept the faith and has a right to go soulin' in the way he see fit. Complete with beer towel, adidas bag, long leather (pvc) coat, beer stained clown trousers et al. And sadly some promotoers will take their money and let it all happen. As well as OVO, it appears three other little letters are coming to the fore - D I V, Travesty!
  16. I thought Julian Bentley lived in Worsley?
  17. Or worse still? Clown strokers. That probably is a different website.
  18. I thought you'd written "gimme a spot" Which is the phrase I have heard more than any other whenever I've promoted a do.
  19. I think we should all say it a whole lot more. Makes us be able to identify with our soul brothers and sisters on this underground scene of ours. It's the street level equivalent of a masons handshake. Soul Power! Keep The Faith! Right On! Soul Brothers and Sisters
  20. Her? You mean there are female DJ's. That's a non sequitur, surely?
  21. I've launched a sub set of that in Bradford Highly Appreciated Enjoyable Music Original Right Record Only Investigative Detection Services Looking deeply into the piles of vinyl around here. Sadly. Not much to report. But, as expected, quite a lot of sh!te
  22. No. But I'm sure if I have a quiet moment I'll get most of 'em down. Fabulous weekend. now an annual "must" for me.
