Britmusicsoulfan Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Hello Everyone, I have recently met with the lead singer of a 70s funk soul band from Minneapolis called Haze. Their first record and unreleased second record (as well as nearly impossible to find 45s) are quite collectible on the soul/funk scene, with copies shifting in the $75-$300 range for both LPs. Due to a record being saved from a dumpster and all sorts of amazing circumstances, the band has reformed. The band has remastered both releases for CD, with plans to re-release it on vinyl as well. I should make it clear that the band has no interest in signing to a label, but I have talked with them about getting the release out to the UK/Australia/Europe market. In meeting with the lead singer yesterday, I presented a few suggestions. One, I suggested the pressing of a 45 for DJs with an uptempo dance track (several songs they have recorded fit this description) with maybe a soul ballad/other track. They are interested in touring at some point (and I also suggested participating in SoulTrip 2011), but want to first focus on these two reissue projects. I mentioned to the lead singer that I would post something on SoulSource to see what thoughts/suggestions/ideas, etc. come forward. If a 45 is released, where does the wholelsale or retail price need to be, and the same for the CD? Thanks, everyone, and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Tim
