thanks for the response..

Under the new First Principle of the 1998 Act, you have to be "fair" to the
data subject, rather than the person giving/selling/renting you the data. If
the person on the list you "acquired" did not give specific consent to the
list originator to pass their details to you for mailing purposes, you must
inform the data subject of your identity as a new data controller processing
their data.

I thought that might be the case, but just how practical would this be to
implement?! and how likely is it that the 'fair processing rule' will be
applied.

I fear as a data subject that I will not be contacted by the recipient of
the list.
