Cania "visions" Tammy Jo Re-issue?

[Guest sigher the gutter snype]

the reason i ask this questions is i had been in contact with the producer

of the record and he is the label owner.

he seemed fairly surprised to myself when i asked him about the record and said

he got all fed up with the record business in the early 1980's as rap music had come along

and people wasnt really interested in the cania release or soul stuff

he did tell me he would try and send me a copy and we had an in depth chat

and he spoke of some new material he may be releasing.

all in all a very nice fella

unfortunately i havent heard from him and cant seem to contact him (only answer machine)

i had asked a u.s digger/dealer who had turned up some copies if he recieved these of the group or the producer?

he seemed a little concerned at my question and this is his reply on the matter

"I have licensed these tracks, and I have a long relationship with the producer.

I'd appreciate if you did not complicate matters with questions of records, etc.

This is not a threat, this a statement of respect for a relationship that will yield a wealth of incredible and fully licensed reissues."

i have left the persons name out but wondered what you boys and girls thougtht

does this mean the ones that are being sold and ive now seen a few around are rre-issues then...if so most dont say so on the listings etc.....

he said he had a long relationship with the producer, but on my contact the producer seemed chuffed that i had contacted him

am i just sticking my nose in where it doesnt belong or does this lie a lot deeper

than what i thought?

Don't think they are re-issues, rather the guy who you obviously spooked - i.e the 'US Digger' - more than likely got a load off someone connected with the band (the producer) hence them being everywhere. Whether or not they've all been 'farmed' out is another matter. Actually, now you mention it, what is odd is how this has the producer's name on it... https://cgi.ebay.com/CANIA-45-Monster-Moder...1QQcmdZViewItem

and this doesn't https://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-OH-Modern-Soul-45...1QQcmdZViewItem

Either two different pressings or one of them has been creative with photoshop editing out the all important contact info thanks to your recent sleuth work. Strange though.

WELL THIS IS VERY BIZARRE TO SAY THE LEAST. I GOTTA BE HONEST AND SAY I SMELL A RAT HERE....

I GOT WHAT I BELIEVE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COPIES OF THIS WHICH I LET GO TO TO SAM AS I HAD ANOTHER COUPLE COMING. THESE COPIES HAD THE PRODUCERS DETAILS ON AND I BELIEVE THEM TO BE GENUINE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DEMAND AT THE TIME. STEVE G TOLD ME ABOUT THIS THE OTHER DAY AT SOUTHGATE AND I WAS BEMUSED ABOUT DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGNS BUT LOOKING AT JASONS SCANS I NOW FEEL IT COULD WELL BE A SCAM.....

MY GUT FEELING IS THAT THE "NO PRODUCER" LABELS ARE A SCAM.

WHATS NOT IN QUESTION THOUGH IS THE MUSIC---- I REALLY RATE THIS AS A GREAT 70`S DANCER WITH BAGS OF APPEAL FOR THE NORTHERN SCENE IN PARTICULAR. IT DID SAY TO STEVE THAT ITS A SHAME BECAUSE IT DOESN`T TAKE MUCH TO SPOOK COLLECTORS AND THE RECORD IS TOO GOOD FOR THAT.

I agree with you Ivor. A great tune that never gets played out. I'm sure after all the copies have dried up and gone into collections it will become a sought after tune. Great pleading vocals.

Played it at the last Northampton weekender in room 2 to an empty dancefloor ,mate.... :angry: hope its time will be coming soon, anyway...

[Steve G]

Agree with all the posts on here - very good song, it hasn't even been played that much (perhaps explaining the empty dancefloor!). Would be a real shame if some greed merchant killed it off before it has it's day.

Sigher - you will encounter all sorts of odd people in your quest for vinyl. I think we often labour under the misapprehension that everyone in the US recording business is friendly, keen and honest as a day is long. Unfortunately for everyone like that there's a greedy rip off merchant - twas ever so, and probably will ever be so.

[Guest sigher the gutter snype]

steve i guess its like any walk of life.

you get the good and the bad.

go over to the fryer funk forum and you might have to

cover your ears up on this topic.

luckey jamal davis "its not where you started" highland

whats the price and availibilty on that one steve

superb feel good tune

[TheBigO]

Great toon and one both Taff and I have been harping on about for ages to anyone who'll listen. Steve is spot on, for every decent producer/label owner you come across there's a greedy one waiting in the wings with no clue as to what their actions will do. Always been that way, much like the scene itself these days, C'est la Vie, lol

About ten years ago there was a piece in the Lost and Founds of our local rag. It was about a piece of jewelery left in a town centre fish shop:

"Ladies ring found In Tasty Plaice"

Now call me childish but....
