Wrongcrowd Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 There's more than a few on here from the darkside, or at least have one foot in there, so I guess that some could be up for modern soul CD exchange... Anything post 1970, any style.... deep through soulful house, and maybe even some jazz ...any tempo, but let's not make 'em to obvious, some deeper digging would be doing it justice.... Sign up here, and PM me with address details, so's I can compile the darkside swappers......... Just one last thing....please only sign up if you're gonna do the right thing and send your CDs out.....ta.
Wrongcrowd Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 s7oul... who knows a thing or three about quality modern soul, and rhino signed up so far.........so come on don't be shy......
Emjaygee Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I'll join in this one if that's ok. Are we limiting the numbers or will be be a bigge like some of the earlier ones i got involved in?
Wrongcrowd Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 Looking good...... the list of swappers is buliding up nicely, there's 7 of us now. I'd thought about limiting numbers to 20 to keep it manageable.... Right then............anymore for anymore..............
Wrongcrowd Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 We're halfway there at 10 in the darkside mix now......which includes some highly respected collectors and DJs...which promises for some tasty CDs...... Just 10 more places left, so don't miss out......

Guest Brett F Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) I'm game, have i missed the cut ?, happy to do a full CD with post 1970 tracks taken from my own record collection. Brett Edited February 23, 2010 by Brett F
Wrongcrowd Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks to everyone who've joined up on the swap, the response has been outstanding, and all the signs are right for some very tasty CDs......... So the gate's now closed with final darkside entrants from Soul SV10, and Brett F, making us a final group number of 22...guys please PM me with your address details...ta... I'll round up all of the addresses and confirm details via PM to everyone by the end of the week. Yowsah...
Guest Brett F Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Right i've got my final draft for the cd swap, 24 tracks all vinyl except one cd only track, just started burning the first of the 21 needed, need some gloss paper for cover and listing then i'm ready to go to press, just need those addresses. Brett ps.. it is tough, when trying not to be too obvious, you end up thinking ' oh they are bound to know this and that' but i sort of went down that route, hopefully everyone will find the odd thing they haven't got (know) and enjoy them.

phillyDaveG Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Missed this thread, can I be 1st reserve?
Djmelismo Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I would like to be 2nd reserve if possible, in case someone gets cold feet realising that they won´t have time to complete a disc, I can step in. Please let me know if the opportunity arises. Melismo, living on the dark side + Or the techy-minded and computer-literate people can post a zipped/RAR-file for people to download the tracks, thus no need for CD-Rs, stamps or envelopes... +
phillyDaveG Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 If not DJM. we'll do a 2 man disc swap ok?
Wrongcrowd Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 Just completed a final round-up of swappers and details, and found that I'd mis-counted.... . So PhillyDaveG and djmelismo are also in, making a final total of 21. Only 3 more addresses to collect and I'll have the mailing list out to everyone tomorrow...
Guest Brett F Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 20 CD's done, cover and track list finished, just waiting for addresses now Cliff mate. Brett F

So PhillyDaveG and djmelismo are also in, making a final total of 21. Only 3 more addresses to collect and I'll have the mailing list out to everyone tomorrow... Thanks Cliff, have PM:ed you my address, putting it here in the thread too: Mats Olofsson Torget 1A 264 32 KLIPPAN SWEDEN And just to clarify, I´m DJ Melismo on here, well, it´s the moniker I always use in soul music circles, but as you can see above my real name is Mats :O)

Soul Wv10 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 hi chaps is there room for a little 'un. alan posting my 2cd out to every one later this afternoon ( ajb email me and i will add you to the list if you still want to )
Docfish Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 My CDs go out this afternoon as well... posting my 2cd out to every one later this afternoon ( ajb email me and i will add you to the list if you still want to )
Guest JohnnyHitman Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 My CDs go out this afternoon as well... Won't be able to burn the stuff till next weekend, I just moved into a new flat and it's a big mess! Will do the selection this weekend and maybe record it during the week! Looking forward to the cd's!!
Djmelismo Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) For many years been buying the same type of FUJI CD-Rs, never had any problems, bought a packet of TDK CD-Rs now and the first disc I burned skips somewhere halfway through. Strange... Maybe have to go to town to buy those FUJI ones after all, since they have never given me any grief in the past. Any guidelines apart from the obvious - modern soul is mid-70´s and onwards up until brand new releases, I supply tracklisting with year, label and format, and I try to dig a bit deeper and come up with some overlooked gems?! I suggest people make a tracklisting like 1. 2. 3. because otherwise it´s hard to find the right track. Was part of another CD swap, was sitting in the car and wanted to play a certain track and it was very complicated because the tracks weren´t numbered so hard to locate. In case someone happens to supply insufficient postage, especially when there are a few `international´ participants in a CD swap, always a good idea to write "sender" and your address on the backside of the envelope, in case something´s wrong (in some cases the letter may be damaged and the address becomes unintelligible) then the letter will be returned to sender. My local post office would like me to give as much information as possible, so hopefully I can make out which ones are UK addresses, and they even want me to state whether the letters are supposed to go out to England, Scotland etc. Best, Melismo Edited March 5, 2010 by djmelismo

Now this is the tricky bit the final CDR will play in my laptop and also the Pioneer CD recorder separate (plus my Toshiba DVD player), but they will not play in my older Marantz CD player (hi fi separate)...But i have done all my CDR's in recent years the same way and other folks have been able to play them on their own set-up.....Just think any older CD players were not as advanced to cope with plain CDR's........(what's annoying is the Marantz cost me a bloody fortune when i got it, just shows how fast technology moves on ).
