Andybellwood Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Hi Dave . Timmion used to do 7’’ acetates so might be worth contacting them . ‘Carvers’ often now called ‘dub plates’ but the perceived market seems to be 10” or 12” rather than 7” . Might be worth you trying https://www.cuttinggrooves.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA99ybBhD9ARIsALvZavUilkEijUwX3TMX0lotfCY999RD8uICS_6uVlI2Q0g0__kauDf7o-IaAkfCEALw_wcB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Amsterdam Russ Posted November 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) A word of warning about getting carvers done - if you're looking to get a disc cut of something unreleased you have on an acetate. Maybe half a dozen years or more, I sent a file to a company in the UK that cut carvers. The reason I did it was because the acetate - carrying a brilliant unreleased track from Chicago - was in a very poor state. Anyway, I got my disc and was happy with it. Fast forward to late last year and I spot on Soul Source an interesting track on someone's latest listing. It's 'my' unreleased track. Obviously, I'm thinking someone's found a second copy, but in giving the Mix a listen I hear the sound file is exactly the same as my acetate. The ticks and pops are in exactly the same place. <added for clarity> I should point out here that I in no way blame or point a finger at the Soul Source member who got the carver and used the track in their mix. Any blame must lie elsewhere.</added> Now, I did upload the track to YouTube some years back, so thought someone had downloaded it, but on checking I was instantly reminded I'd uploaded an edited version that only ran for about one and a half minutes. So where did the soundfile used in the Mix come from? I asked the poster and they told me they had it on a carver, but couldn't remember where it came from. I racked my brains - had I sent a full-length copy of the file to a mate who had then done the dirty and shared it elsewhere? The answer was a definite no. I couldn't understand it. Some months later, it came to me. The only time I had ever shared the file was when I uploaded it to the company cutting the carvers. That surely had to be it - the company is cutting carvers of interesting material for their own use and then sharing the tracks with mates – whether for profit or not, I do not know. Thing is, and this is a downer, I've used maybe three carver cutters over the last 10 years, and I don't remember which one cut that particular track for me! So, just be warned.

Simon T Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Perhaps a previous owner recorder it? Maybe it was once on an auction site with a sound file? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If the previous owner recorded it, I doubt they'd have sat on it for close to 10 years. Anyway, to get a decent carver you need a high quality soundfile, not just a bog standard mp3. I sent the carver company a high quality file, and in terms of sound quality, the 'dodgy' carver sounds the same as mine. I can't prove anything, of course, but really do believe the file I sent is the source. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not sure it's a 'top northern soul offering', although I think it fab, but I'll point you and any other interested parties in the direction of my YouTube channel and you can work it out for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/user/lomaruss45s/videos 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
