I play an OVO night in Warrington, which means absolutely feck all to 97% of the people I play to....actually I'll not lie I've just bought a Bobby Valentin boot which I intend to play in the bar, after being reminded of it on the Oddfellows thread but that's about it for boots?
OVO is your choice, you do it for you.
There are young lads that play in the same bar that have it in them too, they listen for themselves to stuff they haven't heard and purchase original vinyl....their circle of friends aren't going to give them any awards for buying orig vinyl....but they do..which is great.
There are other lads in town that buy boots/represses etc and have no qualms About playing them....and neither have I....it's their choice and as I say 97% of the people they play to couldn't give a toss.
Stop asking for plaudits for being cool enough to buy original vinyl...we all know the script, it should be about your values, no one else's...and anyway virtually no one in the real world gives a flying feck.
