    Hi Dave I do like Spain but dislike their attitude towards, and treatment of, animals.
  2. Peter99

    My final post - well maybe for a bit. Because they believe in their craft, they invest their time and money. People resorting to playing boots are lazy, make believe dj's who don't give a fuck. Right, I'm off to the top of our stairs.

    That isn't what I said or think. Im going for a lie down.
  10. Peter99
    I didn't mean that. There were a number of top dj's who had exclusive records. I used to pick my venues based solely on who was playing because I know what I wanted to hear. Let's not forget that back in the day most people were completely off their rockers on amphetamines. They danced to anything!
  11. Peter99
    That's one of the points I've been trying to make - exclusivity.
  12. Peter99
    Records were covered up to retain exlusivity. Having the best records as a dj got you a following. Some were very rare, some not so rare but generally unknown. People went to hear particular records because they couldn't hear them elsewhere. Until of course they were booted - and then as has been said the record was dropped.
  13. Peter99
    You can play whatever you like at home mate. I occasionally play the spoons when am cleaning windows. That is very occasionally, as I hardly ever clean the windows. That is a rather different story and down to my mentalist issues.
  14. Peter99
    I didn't mean you! I was speaking about boot playing dj's.
  15. Peter99
    Probably hit the nail on the head there mate. If you haven't got the records you shouldn't be passing yourself off as a dj. Having original records are the essential tools of the trade.
  16. Peter99
    Of course they can be the same thing. And yes, some records have been played because they are rare, not necessarily because they are good soul records. But that becomes rather subjective.
  17. Peter99
    Of course not every record was rare. I think we are in danger of getting into semantics.
  18. Peter99
    Some of them are collectible. But surely you're just contradicting yourself? If they're not rare or expensive why would people need to play them from boots?
  19. Peter99
    Hi mate. morality may be seen as a strong word by some but yep that's part of it. The other thing is that ovo dj's spend a lot of money and time in building collections and discovering new records. For many it's their livelihood. Imagine that you'd travelled to the states, unearthed an unknown record, bought it back and the record became massive. Then three months down the line someone somehow counterfeited it and started playing it. Wouldn't you be angry? Loads of other reasons too. Well be here all night mate! Anyway welcome to the site. Pete
  20. Peter99
    Neither Russ!
  21. Peter99
    Ha! I'm not a dj mate. Just a small scale collector. The ovo issue isn't just about what gets played by who. Counterfeiting records is wrong on lots of levels. Dancers and punters travel to hear records that they wouldn't normally be able hear anywhere else. Anyway, as I said I'd be here all night trying to explain. You're entitled to your views mate - I just don't agree.
  22. Peter99
    If you can't grasp that fundamental point mate I doubt that I would ever be able to explain it to you.
  23. Peter99
    But surely you're missing the whole point. It's a rare soul scene.
  24. Peter99
    Of course it happens.
  25. Peter99
    So you're saying that certain dj's choose to play unpopular records. Not sure why any dj would build a collection of records that punters didn't like. They wouldn't get many bookings. As for boots are you saying that anyone should be able to play popular records from boots to keep the dance floor busy? I think you're missing quite a few points.
