Blackpoolsoul Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I have been "arguing " on Discogs that this band is "The New Sound" and NOT "The New Sounds" which I and others believe is the "title" of the LP The forum has slated me saying that as other releases (them there CD thingies) say "The New Sounds" The forum submitters say that my theory is not enough and that I need a "Source" to confirm Robert Tanner is not well at the moment and I don't wish to bother him (as we hopefully all will let him hopefully get better please) Most of the members have sadly passed and I have had had confirmation from a good source (but that will NOT suffice) Thought I would go to the right place for a discussion
Local Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I’ve just posted a comment on the discogs release page regarding this. The sleave notes clearly state :- members of New Sound (singular) are etc etc I doubt you will get them to change it though. Funny bunch on discogs, I once had a long running disagreement with some Swedish Goth collector over the originality of NS record ( can’t remember which one)he was demandingto know how I knew it was a bootleg. when I got fed up with him and replied “because it has Simon Sussans fingerprints on it” he got very shitty and threatened to ban me from the site. 1

Reforee Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 The band are called The New Sound....I always assumed the title of the album was "The New Sounds" and was a play on the bands name and the music contained within. Surely the amount of times the name The New Sound is printed gives the game away or can't they see the wood from the trees? Dave.
Sutty Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Am I dreaming or did I read somewhere in the past that a band member (maybe Robert Tanner) said that the name in debate was made up by someone else as a name to release the album under and they had no say in it and never sanctioned the release, and never got paid a penny - it wasn’t the actual name of the band or they didn’t even have one at the time? That it was a bunch of guys recording someones songs (RT?) and they never actually played as a group, and somehow Sylvia Robinson heard the tapes and they got released. I might not have his quite right but it really rings a bell somewhere... cheers Sutty Edited August 25, 2018 by Sutty 1

They were still singing locally in Lynchburg, Virginia as The Jivers when The LP and singles were released This will help me thinks https://djmadlad.com/the_bands_TG07.php I will contact Mad Lad and ask him, if you wish This man is some guy if you read this https://djmadlad.com/wkkd.php Edited August 26, 2018 by Blackpoolsoul
Blackpoolsoul Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 Discogs "Rules" appear to say that where a person/group has most releases listed as different names, then the most "used" name applies. Therefore a name change for the "Main" artist is not allowed ? The artist profile has now been changed to reflect the errors https://www.discogs.com/artist/722649-The-New-Sounds
