Denbo

Cheers everybody. Dennis.

Paul Delaney. Now there's a name I haven't heard for many years. Is he still with us? Is he on here on Soul Source?

Well done Patrick Costigan, wherever you are. This film is not only a well deserved tribute to Neil English but it's also a credit to you and your efforts to bring this club and it's benefactor to the attention of the World. I miss seeing you around. I hope you are happy and well. Dennis.

Thanks everybody, most enlightening.

Which is odd, as you'd think it would be the other way round. I guess it depends on how many were sold before it was "withdrawn", which I'll admit, I didn't know about. Why was it withdrawn? When you say "version", is this reissue a slightly different version to the original release?

Bummer, as it means I'm unlikely to get a scan of the label for my friend now. Unless of course, by chance, the person I sold it to is reading this post / thread.

Ha Ha Ha, I'm not saying you don't, I was just re-emphasising the point with trickbag.

Like I told Pete Smith, it did get released cos I sold a copy from my personal collection back in 1986. It may have been scheduled for release but then they changed their minds perhaps but I'm telling you, some, if only the one I had, slipped out without being noticed. I might even be able to tell you who I sold it to, when, and for how much, as I kept paperwork on all my sales back then.

Yes it did, I sold a copy from my personal collection about 1986.

Would somebody please be so kind as to post up a scan of this record for me and a good friend. Thanks.

8/FINGERS LEE & THE UTMOST BOSSY BOSS COLUMBIA DEMO DB8002 £15 Is this one from the Columbia Blue Beat Series?

Curly black hair as well? :lol:

Is Roger a fellow Scouser?

Ah, yes, but I can get away with it 'cos I am a Scouser, and it wasn't derogatory. Besides, I felt the thread needed lightening up a little.

Calm down, calm down. :lol:

What I meant was that there is a sudden flurry / surge of re-issues / boots being released almost all at once.

But you make a valid point and I'd be a bit upset too if my intention was to play Arthur Griswold (which I also have a copy of on Fortune) a little later on, only to be pipped at the post by a re-issue. Oh well, I suppose it makes us work that bit harder to stay one step ahead of the game. Having said that, I'll bear your analogy in mind for November.

Unashamed BUMP!!! Can SOMEBODY please help me with a copy?

Interesting work and an interesting read. Thanks Phil.

Forgive my ignorance Phil but which re-issue record label would that be?

Very good point. That's the least obvious but the most frustrating side effect concerning re-issues / boots.

Don't forget everybody reading this thread over the next few weeks, I'm after a copy of; Wishin And Hopin on UK Stateside So if you can help me out with a copy, please send me a PM (private message) with condition and asking price. Thanks.

For some reason, there suddenly seems to be an abundance of re-issues / boots flooding the market. Whilst I have my own opinions in regard to this practice, I can't help wondering who is most upset by all this, the recording artists, the collector, or the DJs who ply their trade using the 'original' copies?

Thanks everybody for contributing to this thread. But I think you'll all agree, a special thanks must go to 'boba'. Cheers pal. Sorry I wasn't involved towards the end of this thread but I've been ill the last couple of days. Thanks again everybody.
