Chris L Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Could someone explain the low down on this single. Can't seem to find it anywhere via usual sources. I see B side is a Motorcity production (I think) but "Right Outta Time" looks like it's off the radar. Label says 2006 but "Good luck" appears to have been an early 90s recording ? Of course I could be just going blind..................... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Wasn't this a remixed version of a 90's IL track ?? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not supposedly...it is Ian Levine's production and of course its not a bootleg. He owns it and released a small number of promos 6/7 years ago.

Guest trickbag Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 i'm sure your right Kev,perhaps you played it on your solar show Saturday 12 to 2 when the promos where given out for airplay. ricky. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
georgeblackwell Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Kev is absolutely right, definitely the real deal on this one. Ian (Levine) sent me a load of his stuff last year as part of a 1800 piece record swap and this was one of the records that he gave me.

Roburt Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I know that Bettye wasn't very happy that it had come out (even though the backing on this version is a lot better than the original Motorcity version). .... mind you, her objection was a monetary one (she didn't receive a cent for the release).

Steve G Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) I know that Bettye wasn't very happy that it had come out (even though the backing on this version is a lot better than the original Motorcity version). .... mind you, her objection was a monetary one (she didn't receive a cent for the release). I doubt there were more than 400 copies pressed on that run Roburt. So Betty is crying over nothing much..... I've got at least one other record like that, maybe two, I think Noel McCalla, but would need to check for sure.....

Dispute that allegation. Ian paid advances to Bettye Lavette. The fact he re-constructed the track and pressed 300 copies of a promo single means there would not have been any royalties to pay anyway. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kev I seem to remember it's customary that all costs have to be covered before royalties start getting paid. If you take into the studio, musicians, producers and arrangers time and money you'd have to sell quite a lot before there's money left over. It appears to be an issue with singers, they do expect to see large piles of cash no matter what the economics are. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
