If my name was attached to some of the comments thrown at Russ then i would want to try and redress the balance if possible...

That may be because you actually give a shit

Which one Baz? I take it you mean Sigma Sound?

No unfortunately. I did pass it a couple of times - once with Val Shively in the 70's but I didn't have the balls to walk in in '76. Wish I had. I did manage to get some great studio photos and interviews with Vince Montana when we did the Salsoul Orchestra anthology a few years back and I speak with a few of the original guys every now and then - for instance, I just licensed a track from Bobby Eli who is alive and well.

However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Moulton's sat on TONS of stuff from the era 'cos he collects it and then sits on it forever LOL I'm actually going to do a mini documentary with the great man in the next couple of weeks so I'm going to interview him in his apartment and get him to dig into all the stuff in his archives (of which there are 1000's of tapes) so that should be fun. Dealing with his bloody cats probably won't be as much fun however.........

I'll let you know how I get on. If I start finding any Sweet and Deep you'll be the first to know..........

Ian D :thumbsup:

Ian,

You know you're gonna find lots of goodies at Tom's apartment. You'll also have to take a portable hard drive too as he does most of his work at home now. Do me a favour matey and take him a copy of Neil Rushton's book. It'll save me a fortune in postage. When's the CD out?

urban expansions can go for breach of copyright -copyright is Copyright is the set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. These rights can be licensed, transferred and/or assigned. Copyright lasts for a certain time period after which the work is said to enter the public domain. Copyright applies to a wide range of works that are substantive and fixed in a medium. Some jurisdictions also recognize "moral rights" of the creator of a work, such as the right to be credited for the work.

while since i went to law school etc [oh yes tis true sadly but i was saved lol]but very costly -not that punitive -and a total minefield when it comes to determining a legal rememdy -my opinon of this is the moral rights argument presuming it came from russ would be fickle to say the least ?? Also what has the wigan casino trademark etc got to do with this?surely an action would be urban v winstanley unless he has been shrewd which would foggy the waters even more!!

BAZ A.

PAUL YOU CREATED SOMETHING WONDERFUL -YOUD SOON HAVE 10K EATEN UP ON THIS ETC SO JUST SET HIS TROUSERS ALIGHT WHEN YOU CATCH UP WITH HIM!!

I saw this play at the Contact theatre in Manchester a few years ago and Russ was Dj in the downstairs bar area,He attended the show and then did another spot later on after the play had finished,

I would presume he didn't turn up uninvited,With a box of records hoping to get a spot

I must admit..I feel sorry for Mr Winstanley..he constantly gets slagged off on here for what only seems like making a few quid off the scene..so what! He's not murdered anyone..

How would any of you like it if a thread was started about you solely for the purpose of deriding you?

Concentrate on your own shit and keep your noses out of others business..who cares what he's up to..you must be a little sad to be interested in the first place..

any publicity is good publicity, so they say

Not sure BP would agree with that sentiment right now :lol:

Beeks, the point is, and many forget this, Russ isn't actually on the scene. he is in a parallel universe reliving Wigan Casino. He's actually irrelevant to today's scene.

As I said yesterday the scene is being championed by thousands of others. No sign of Mr WInstanley, except when there's a play, film, CD, TV programme on Wigan Casino etc.

Anyway I still don't know why Paul S got involved with him. But then again i don't really care either :lol:

closing this

first post was made

advice etc been given

now it seems its just a thread about talking about talking about someone

if you got gripes, dont like peoples methods and all that then by all means air your view

but no need for a thread to go down some sort of take the p*ss out of non-members road and then end up talking about itself
