Frosty , I listen to CD's in the car and do Cd's for friends who want them because they don't understand the OVO stuff but if it gets to a wider audience I'm all for it, It's just if I go to a Soul Night I expect it to be played off OVO
Carl , the do I'm on about actually had a couple of DJ's from Mablethorpe one week and they were far better than the CD do's and they had decks and played Vinyl/Styrene but they were all boots/Re-issues , now to me that's still not right but I had loads of people saying to me (who don't actually give a shit if it's a record or CD) that the sound was loads better and they really enjoyed it. I was still a mardy bastard saying things like 'this ain't a proper copy' but to be honest they weren't bothered . Hey as long as people enjoy the sounds I suppose but to me the whole ethos of the
scene is to play the original and not a fricking CD that my Mrs. could do (Love her loads though x) just in case she sees this

The thing is Betty , the first one I went to after about an hour I heard the same track and I knew what was coming next , and it did
so went to the lad who was doing it and told him and he said ' people like this one ' and yes it was Frank bloody Wilson !!!
Betty , we have a local do every 6 weeks or so and I don't go anymore because it's all off a laptop by people who only play the top 100 (not even that really). I went to a couple of do's and as I am maybe one of the only people in our little town who collects OVO was getting pissed off with some on a laptop playing a tune that I'd paid good money for. The do's are quite well attended maybe 60-80 on good night (Small venue) but there is something about not playing records that I can't handle. Sad, I know I've turned into a soulsnob

Thanks for looking

Not accusing anyone here as I'm not 100% sure but I thought the promo had promo on the label ? I do realise there are a lot of variations but this looks the same as the one I had years ago which I thought was a boot ??
