Thought this was all covered a while back ...

Highly embarrassed he must be you would think ... But bear in mind that if camera-phones and 'YT' were available back in the 'olden' days the net would be awash with shaky clips of all those flash dancers you remember going through their 'practice' routines in their bedrooms , and Liveleak awash with them falling on their arses ...

Dark top 70's boot.

Saus's acetate , he still has it but it's still covered up / unknown as far as I know , fantastic record though whoever it actually is . I have it on tape too ...

And one that you put me onto as a new release Russ , the majestic "Pressure" by "Driza bone" ...

Never heard it played by anyone but Saus so I assume he still has it tucked away somewhere safe , I have a really clean copy of it on tape somewhere in it's entirety , always meant to get a disc cut from it but never did out of respect for Saus.

That was old 'boot' from the 80's with Benny Troy on t'other side I think , now been 'rebooted' ....

Why three separate threads regarding one 45 for sale ... ?

Best you fish out some felt-tips then ...

I could ...

" I object to re-issues and bootlegs because I think that whole market simply enables people who don't have the requisite passion, commitment and resources to represent the music in a manner that it deserves. " If we mere mortal poor folk had to rely on the moneyed elite to provide all the dj'ing spots the 'scene' would be a very poor thing , yes it's nice to know that the record playing is a "real one" but as most folk know who's got what as far as the super rarities are concerned does it matter that much ... ? The first niter I recall being promoted as OVO was the "Rarest of the Rare" at the Ritz somewhere mid-90's , yes there were some nice things brought out for a bit of fresh air but were the majority of the crowd impressed ... no they were out on the floor in their own little bubble having a great time ...

Shifty used to play it too ...

Things always work a little differently in Sooty's parallel universe ...

Do it properly and do it just once , these will last you a lifetime and be well worth the initial outlay ... https://www.loake.co.uk/byrange/loake-shoemakers/brighton.html

As an overall reference it matters to a degree but every individual has their own point of reference. True enough , but there were an awful lot of folk off their nuts sitting around talking complete bo****ks about records as I recall ... Perhaps some kindly old 'soul' would knock up for us 'uneducated types' a definitive list of every tune played out since about 1963 , where it was played first , who discovered and played it , what label it must be played on ... blah , blah , blah ...

Which is fine if you were around right at the very beginning , have attended every venue since and were there when every record was played out for the first time ... that would be very few people methinks ... Someone new to the scene will always be playing catch-up as far as sounds are concerned , to them everything they hear will be a "newie" and by association will remind them of that era/venue where they first heard it .... When I started attending niters in the late 70's early 80's I was blissfully unaware of the ancient days of the Twisted Wheel , Torch , Casino etc. and what was played where and by whom , still am in all honesty ... I'm just one of those simple punters that likes what he likes and is more interested in the 'sounds' than the minutiae of the name of the singer's/songwriter's/producer's dog's favorite toy or what car the bass player drove to the studio in , yes these details mean everything to the Soul-Stasi but luckily we're not all inflicted ... I can pretty much remember where I bought every 45 in my collection and from whom I bought it , as well as being able to picture myself dancing to them , despite them being some 40 years "past their sell by date" ... Glad I headed for the dancefloor all those years ago and not into the dark mysterious corners that required passwords to enter and entailed sitting down all night involved in an amphet-induced 100mph conversation about matrix numbers ...

Wakey , wakey ... you posted that one a month ago ....

Sharon Scott , "It's Better" ... Ady's RCA 100 Club gem

Love the expression on the horse's face too ...

Right-click on the file ... click on the "Open image in - "Paint" option When open in Paint select "Resize" at top left ... Select "Pixels" ... change the size in the boxes shown . Then "Save As" whatever you wish to call the new version. Saving as a PNG file should prevent any nasty JPEG compression artifacts .

Not many wearing 'hats' like that though ...

"The King and Queen" just round the corner from the 100 Club ...
