LOOKIN THRU A RECORD 'COLLECTION' THE OTHER DAY I WAS AMAZED TO SEE SOME 45'S IN THERE THAT HAD DOWNLOADED OR SCANNED ORIGINAL LABELS STUCK OVER THE BOOT OR RE-ISSUE LABEL. CLOSE UP YOU COULD TELL IT WAS A SNIDE, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE ON THE DECKS TO MOST PEOPLE THEY WOULD HAVE LOOKED 'REAL'. IS THIS THE NEW DAWN OF 'BOOTLEGS OF BOOTLEGS'? ANYONE ELSE COME ACROSS THIS PISS-TAKE? GRANT

billy - there are tow copies for sale on GEMM, one U.S (doesnt give label but is $102, and one on UK MALA DJ $66, if that helps mate. Always found a lot of stuff on GEMM a bit pricey though. Grant

FORGOT TO ADD, THE MARK JOHNSON ONE IS HILARIOUS WITH PARROTS AND OTHER ANIMAL TWEETS, HOOTS AND ROARS, HEH HEH!!

DAVID CAN THINK OF THESE :- ANOTHER VOCAL TO MOONLIGHT,MUSIC & YOU ON BANG BY THE ESSEX, AN INSTR. BY HONEY TOWNSEND - CANT REMEMBER THE TITLE BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE 'STOP THE WORLD' OR SIMILAR, ANOTHER INSTR. BY SUBWAY RIDERS 'AFTER THE SESSION' (BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ONE AS I BOUGHT ONE FROM U.S. & ALTHOUGH IT STATED 'AFTER THE SESSION' ON THE LABEL IT WAS INFACT A DIFFERENT (CRAP) TUNE INSTEAD!! APPARENTLY QUITE A FEW WERE PRESSED LIKE THIS. )

totally agree with you mike, however arent sites like soulclub.org just merely sites to listen to a track without being able to copy onto cd or whatever? i've certainly found it useful if i see a record on a list for sale and not quite sure what it is - then gone onto soulclub.org and found it on there to listen to, many a record i have purchased from lists, ebay etc on the back of this. grant

soul45 - think 'never gonna be the same' was alternative version of al kent's 'the way youve been acting lately' grant

danny moore was booted wasnt it? mine has proper stamp on run out - surely an original - bought from dave withers.

got one at record fair a couple of months back - have been playing it at stockport guild hall to a good dancefloor response. paid £40 mint for mine (label has a picture of jj caillier on it) was played at wigan and also parr hall (have it on a tape from there). grant

dynamics - i need your love - was it a butch discovery? first heard it at warrington parr hall all-niter circa 1985 JT - the Doni Burdick track 'Candle' has the same backing track as the Dynamics. grant

JT THERE ARE TWO BRILLIANT UPTEMPO TUNES GO BY THE WAY OF 'I NEED YOUR LOVE' - THE INTERTAINS (UPTOWN) & THE MASTERS (NOT SURE OFLABEL). BOTH ARE BRILLIANT & THERE IS AN INTERTAINS ON J MANSHIPAT MOMENT FOR £200 (HAS AUDIO CLIP). THE DYNAMICS TRACK YOU CAN HEAR ON SOULCLUB.ORG, THE MASTERS TRACK ON KTFDOWNLOAD.COM ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE MASTERS IS ON AND VALUE? ALSO COUPLE OF SUPERB MID-TEMPO TRACKS WITH SAME/SIMILAR TITLE WORTH CHECKING OUT : TIM -I NEED YOUR LOVE GENE REDDING - I NEED YOUR LOVIN' (BELL) BRILLIANT! CHUCK CORBY & ENTREES - I NEED YOUR LOVE (FEE BEE) HAPPY HUNTING!! GRANT

see what you mean mate

JT - Not a snipe at the Casino crowd surely mate?!!

Paul, Thats It! Your bang on mate, just knew i kne wthe tune from somewher but couldnt put my finger on it, thought it was one of those late wigan c/up instrumentals that were knocking around, ah well never mind. Grant On the subject of instrumentals can anyone tell me if the instr. to 'Back Streets' by Edwin Starr is excatly the same as instr. by the Detroit Rythmn Section that was played at Stafford? Cheers Grant

Cheers for tryin ady - anyone else?

HAD A LISTEN TO 'LETS COPPA GROOVE' BOBBY WELLS & IT AIN'T THE INSTR. TO THAT AS I SAY U CAN HEAR IT ON THE AFOREMENTIONED SITE. ODES SOUND LIKE THE BACKING TO 'NOTHIN BUT A H/PARTY'

thanks ady i'll try and check that one out. came acroos the track on the (dare i mention it ) site ktfdownload.co.uk) if you type in wigan in the bix it comes up with wigan instrumentals, i thinks it is wigan instr. 1 have a listen see if you know it

and back to my original quest!!

ANYONE REMEMBER AN INSTR. PLAYED I THINK AT WIGAN, WITH A RIFT THAT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO 'AINT NOTHING BUT A HOUSEPARTY' - MAY EVEN HAVE BEEN C/UP AS THAT, DONT KNOW, ANYONE HELP PLEASE. GRANT

Shit - i went to the alexandra youth club back in the 70's with mr greg lang et al. !!!!

Cheers for you reply Mick, I have actually heard the 'Oh My ANgel' side but keep seeing this for sale as 'Lovin Time' on Brent methinks, just one of those that Ive never heard., Grant

Allnighters / Soul Nites Got to be soul nites now!! Live Acts / Dance Comps The zimmer frame keeps meout of dance comps now ! Never been into live acts.

Oldies / Newies Difficult - probably newies (but not forgetting UNDERPLAYED oldies Scooters / Cars Cars Talc/Polished Floor Polished Floor Night out at flix with missus / nite of cheap bootlegs Erm, first one probably Lager /Bitter Lager by a mile Stompers / Soulful mid-tempo Gotta stick with stompers - but again a hard one to choose GRANT
