  " I'm thinking of renting mine out (45s), we all know it goes on"

Is it a common practice for djs to rent someone else's tunes and play them out ? I wouldn't have thought it common but does it happen ?

 

Or do some djs borrow other peoples 45s and play those out ?

When I was out around the UK at A/Nighters DJing each week-end...I was sent records....'anonymously'!!! I kid you not!!x I received the "Four Tracks...Like My Love For You'....and Reconsider...Brenda Holloway...and several Unreleased Motown tracks on white labels.....months before they were 'released'!! Never knew who....but knew why! Fortunately they were super tunes....so they went down well...and where mine! Well nobody has asked for em back yet....20 years later!x

I have heard about "borrowing" records,,,and not getting them back.Maybe rental is the way forward. :lol:

Lets not go there! I lent Pat Brady records occasionally when he did Wigan I still havent got my Lenny Curtis back : (

Very sad if this is happening. :(

 

Mind you it's only a small step from playing a boot out to playing someone else's records. Either way you don't actually own the real 45.

Imagine the conversation......

 

 

"Hello, is that the northern soul Records hire service?"

 

"Yes sir"

 

"I'd like to hire a copy of 'Girl across the Street' Moses Smith".

 

"Sorry Sir, but it's booked out untill May 2019"....

Surely they'd just carver them wouldn't they ? "well this comes from an original so it makes it ok surely" :dash2:
