paultp Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 If I recorded all my originals on to my ipod and then played them at a venue that had one of these, would that be acceptable as long as I held each record up as it was playing? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Amsterdam Russ Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Would you be digitising your 45s straight to the iPod or on to a computer first? If the latter, then I'm afraid there is a problem. When transferring a file from your computer to the iPod, you are in fact making a copy of the original. This means that the iPod files are reissues. As we all know, the Soul Police frown upon 2nd issues, repressings, call them what you will. Not convinced that the ones on your iPod are reissues? Consider - when you transfer the file to your iPod, you have the song on this device and the original on your hard drive. Admittedly it's very hard to tell them apart, especially as no matrix numbers are to be found in the run-out grooves of either, and John Manship has yet to publish his digital bootlegs and repressings guide, but the Soul Police can always tell. It's almost like bootlegging your own 45s, but bootlegging them for yourself! And that will never do!! Having said that, forward looking and more technologically minded soulies - particularly those who are a bit business savvy - will soon start swapping, buying and selling these files. Eventually this will lead to the development of the Northern Soul ODO market - Original Digital Only. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

What's an iphone? I have a nokia that still works as well as when I got it in 2001 - i think I can play mp3s on it but have never tried. I did have The Four Tops - Reach Out as a ring tone until it rang when I was on the train and the whole carriage joined in. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The only Shazam that I know was the thing that flashed on the screen at ABC minors when that bloke changed into Captain Marvel (or summat). We all used to flip the folding seats back up and start kicking the bottom - it made a hell of a row when the whole cinema did it. The bloke in the dickie bow would turn up and sling you out if he caught you doing it though (err... kicking the seat that is) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

All you need do is wave that at the crowd and there's the proof. Of course, with the majority of punters being old timers these days, they may have a problem seeing such small images without specs on.

Yeah, but surely you could take a digital photo of you holding the label next to a newspaper with the appropriate date on and then project that photo onto the wall behind the i-pod unit couldn't you?

Scotters Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Good fun thread this! I went to a "soul" do at the start of this year where the guys had decent turntables wired up to mixer and a Mac with some software (name of which escapes me) and screen showed both turntables, mixer, track listings etc etc....On the decks were what looked like records, but must've been digital discs of some sort, with digital stylus to pick up tracking so that they could use decks to mix and adjust pitch / stop & start tracks etc. All very clever I suppose and I'm not being critical, but but I thought...what's the point?! If you're prepared to lug that lot about and pay a good few quid for the kit, surely just also bring a couple boxes of records or CD's and be done with, after all there was nothing rare / expensive / hard to find being played!
