boba Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I love how the worst thing you can say to someone on soul source is "your box is full of pressings". It's somehow ten times worse than insulting someone's mother. I can't believe I just read a thread that was like "you have pressings!" "NO YOU have pressings!" Also, in Chicago, there is a new Cirque du Soleil show called "ovo" with billboards and TV ads. I laugh and think of soul source every time I see it.

John Reed Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 So when people say it out loud do they say "oh-voh" or do they say "oh-vee-oh'? With the numerous threads on the OVO debate, I never really thought about its pronounciation and have always been of the opinion its "oh-vee-oh". Nice to see there could be another layer for conflict when discussing OVO..... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

(If I should disappear from the face of the earth then you'll know that the Soul Police have been round to see me) I buy originals as my bank statements, overdraft and credit card bills will confirm (!), however i buy the odd re-issue as countless people do ( some won't admit to that of course!) as i'm not in a position where spending thousands on a single record is possible or even something i would wish to do, i bought the recent Cosmos Universal Band re-issue for example, i'm not a regular DJ but i occasionally promote nights and get a few invites here and there and when i do i leave the few re-issues i have at home. Loads of DJ's play or have played re-issues out, i know of somebody that does it all the time, alongside very well known DJ's too, and he keeps getting the invites to play again which is something i'm still trying to work out, i also know of somebody who was asked to play abroad, all expenses paid etc and he didn't know there was a camera behind him and he was visible on a large TV screen pulling re-issues out of his box, it's fair to say the promoters were slightly pissed of with him but despite this he still gets the invites to DJ abroad etc fairly regularly...it's a strange old scene. OVO still sounds stupid though! Ste. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Philt Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Always makes me a bit suspicious when I see OVO anywhere, primarily because I take it for granted (naivety on my part perhaps) that anyone charging folk to get into a venue and /or playing records - especially if they are taking money for doing so - does it right. Naturally enough, anyone buying / collecting will go with what they can get hold of, afford etc, be that reissues, CDs or whatever. Still got a few myself and started collecting down that route, using bloody dinner money, as many people did I guess. Good on em. Makes me chuckle and ever so slightly p*ssed though when folk come and have a nosey to see if you're playing 'proper' records; now that is an insult! WTF would you not be? Personally, I wouldn't have the brass neck and anyone that does so knowingly is an absolute cad and a bounder and totally misses the point. All IMHO of course. Coat got ...

Guest Brett F Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Like most when 16 I got a few boots, didn't have any guidance, but learned quick by attending nighters talking with the older guys at record bars, no shame in it, and nothing wrong whatsoever with legitmate reissues, but when you have a few years behind you (well in my case) i only wanted the real deal, part of the collector ethos, I love boring people to death about cat numbers, variations on italics, different inks on labels etc...

barney Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 way back in the early 70s I used to collect flat black plastic discs because the sounds they produced really moved me and became obsessed by this and I didnt really have a clue being a callow niave youth what was, and what was not original but didnt give a fook as long as they produced the desired sound , this all ceased when the prices started to rocket and no way was I prepared to pay more than 30 bob for a record, so I started collectin scooters lambrettas , vespas you name it , but then the missus put her foot down and said no more, so I turned my attentions to locomotive nameplates , expensive yes but these are fairly unique and usually not more than two of each type are ever produced , but apart from polishin them what else could I do with em, anyway in the end I flogged em all (5) and made a tidy profit, have still got 3 scooters and not only can I polish these I ride em as well, as for the black plastic discs lost most to divorce and gave rest away , still love the music though and go to soul do,s , w/enders but prefer to listen and shuffle to the music and dont really care much about the ovo thing, have loads of shiny silver smaller plastic dics though and a laptop full to burstin wi great sounds and it hasnt really cost me much, am I doing this wrong Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Brett F Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I didn't see the thread where Bob mentioned the insults over pressings, but I've sat many a time in clubs, pubs and debated the boots v originals topic, all good fun, no malice, I find it a shame that people would genuinely fall out over such a thing !

Little-stevie Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Your name is Brett and you aint recovering, there is no hope for you and your kind... My name is Steve, i have sinned in the past... Like Brett i took the devils coin when young and wet behind the ears.. Now the playing off boots on the decks at home feels like getting caught by your partner in a suspenders and knickers, " sorry love, i did like it a little bit but i did not get moist" I too am a little naive at times and always expect real records if i paid into an event, if honest would even like real records at a picnic or a funeral but can make the odd exception.. A good freind wanted a few tunes for his wedding ceremony, we could have played them off the devils little silver discs but we got a set of decks and played the real vinyl, the lord looked down and place was filled with sunshine.. I and others have sinned in laters years too, i played 3 tunes off a cd for my wedding ceremony but they were recorded from original vinyl ... No person came to any harm and we went from that place to a big room with dancefloor and many guests and did it for real.. peace love and O veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee O Edited July 19, 2011 by little-stevie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
