Nicking tunes

Posted

A while back when I started getting interested in rare soul music again , a friend of mine who had never left the scene was telling me about someone who had wired into the sound system and was recording another djs tunes, does anyone know of this and who was involved, or is my memory playing tricks, thanks in advance 👍

Do you mean like how people use to record dj spots in the 70’s and 80’s with a tape recorder ? Just a bit more advanced nowadays ?

Sorry I don’t know the full story, I got the impression he was recording them to use for himself to dj with, I believe he was djing himself and was stealing the tunes , I just wondered who it was , this story was told to me around 10/15 years ago and was a recent event around then I believe,

He wasn't using them for himself, he distributed cds of Butch's set from which other low life's took cuts and played out.

    I heard GS on a radio show with a certain guy spouting "how wonderful" they were to be finding and playing ( Butch's ) 1 off's to us mere mortals. Quite sickening i remember .

    I must admit i taped one of Richard Searlings spots when he worked for me and it  had all his cover ups at the time (Vicky Baines Cecil Washington  ect) on it of a very high quality  ,i just used to play it in the car . Tony Just   let slip to "Les McCutchen"i had all Richards songs and it was a case of name your price which was substantial as they would told Tony they would just boot them under the cover up name .I flatly refused and got that guilty and paranoid i immediately fessed up and gave the tape back to "Richard" who wasn't impressed i had  taped him but was grateful his crown jewels were kept out of "Simon Soussans" hands . This was Early 79 so its not a new thing.

    Used to buy loads of records from Tony’s Manchester store on the market in Manchester in the mid 80s. He now lives in Blackpool.

    Well I thought that, but someone recently told me admirations, I remember being there but couldn't be 100% on the record. I spent most of my time at winsford in the modern room.
