Trying to publicly unmask someone who chooses to hide their identity is neither wise nor ethical. It likely also contravenes data protection laws. Can I suggest you let the mystery remain.

How do you know he wants to remain anonymous? That could be his name for all we know. I was more interested in whether he actually owns the vinyl that he puts up.

Good question but you could ask the same for thousands of Vloggers.

Because they use an assumed name. That's bit of a giveaway... Quinvy.

Always amazes me why anybody posts a tune that's already posted, and on the same label etc?

If your not first...why bother being second!

Perhaps we should start a thread where we look to unmask the identities of Soul Source members who use assumed names. No? I didn't think so.

Quinvy · March 19, 2022

I only use the name Quinvy because I thought you had to assume a name on the forum.

If anyone wants to be anonymous then why post on a world wide public platform?

He is saying look at me, I’ve got all these rare records.

Mike · March 19, 2022

a lot of over thinking going on here imo

to me reads like a simple info request

if the actual info requested is publicly available then can't see any issues with posting the info requested

if it's not publicly available then it shouldn't be posted

Quinvy · March 19, 2022

Thanks Mike.

It's me I've got em all lol

Certain people with very large expensive collections don't want anyone to know where they live

I have known several collectors who get all their records sent to their work address.

Although I must admit, it would be interesting to know if he own's all those records!

I think most blokes get their records delivered to their work address, so their partners don’t know what they are spending.

I used to have records delivered to my work address until I retired, but this was more to do with safe delivery with someone on reception to sign for them. The only time a delivery ‘failed’ was when someone in my block of flats stole the record from the postbox. Always best to tell your partner what you’re spending so they can see the assets appreciating and the estate growing.

Don’t know who the person is, but like you, I’m curious. I don’t think they own the records as they are generally ‘nice’ scans rather than a mixture of used labels. I’ve read some of the comments posted on YouTube but there is nothing to suggest who puts up the sound-clips. It looks like someone has set out to create a channel that has a sizeable following that could possibly yield a small financial return. Throwing the cat amongst the pigeons, it could be several people called Brian, Colin, Malcolm and Ignatius but I have no proof of this...

He doesn’t because he had a picture up on his you tube post of my record ,no mistaking it , soon as I wrote that’s actually my copy he changed it lol

Benji · March 20, 2022

Just a simple question to you guys: Is it really important to know who is behind that YT channel? If yes, please justify why. If not, please move on.

Paul Shirley · March 20, 2022

Personally I couldn’t care less ,but I am interested slightly because he had a picture of my record on there and I have had it a long time and so did the person I bought it from the person I bought it from is very well known doubt it’s same people , the picture is all over the net my guess is he used that picture from the net ,Phil asked a genuine question that many people I know have been interested in , considering it was my record displaying in his YT channel that’s my justification!!

Would it change your opinion of this person, if they did, or did not own the copy posted?

Back in the day, I realised I had more chance of owning a lot of rare tunes, for a few months, than retaining them.

Happy Feet · March 20, 2022

Bricomaligno ,probably the best virtual record collection in the world , unless you know better .

Sound wise definitely very good , so technically probably good with IT.

And definitely prefers rare soul music , or selling it for a living , just a thought ,,,,,

I'd guess that he/she is Morrocan and likes a bit of DIY ... :thumbsup:

It's me ... I'm DJ Spartacus!

Mike · March 20, 2022

post dropped as per below

can we sack the posting up of guesses as to this or any other id

as said

if its solid publicly available information then yep feel free to post by all means

if it's not (guesses/hunches etc etc) then please don't post

thanks

Pete Fowler · March 20, 2022

I've always assumed that he's motivated by income from YT

Dayo · February 10, 2023

Yeah, the sound quality is much better in later posts. He might own the records but use CD rips for better audio. If he does own them then it's an almost unparalleled collection. I don't seem to ever see any ads on his stuff - could be wrong - but I don't think he's monetising it.

Weingarden · February 12, 2023

May own many or most, impossible to tell. Definitely doesn't own ALL, as I've discovered many uploads that show a picture of a 45 and don't play the released 45 version at all but a CD-only take released later. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head, mind you...

Corbett80 · February 12, 2023

That YT channel by Gasmaskheadhunter has some 45s on it, that guy has a pretty amazing collection, especially having multiple rare releases of the same record. Think there’s even a Prophets on Shrine in there too.
