What's In A Label?

[Guest vespadan83]

Been offered AC Reeds My baby's been cheatin on cool for £70.

But i've seen this on goldsoul for £6.00

I always try to get the original label when possible but what's more important the song or the label?

( maybe both)

Cheers

The label of coarse,original only.

What's most important - to me - is having the record so I couldn't care less what label it's on as long as I can play it at home. If I was to play it out - it would be on Cool - but at home, it could be on Music For Pleasure for all I care

£70 is a fair price . Depends on wether you consider yourself a collector and where you're playing it though. If it's just at home why not settle for the Goldsoul which you can probably get for as little as £3.50.

I do sometimes wonder how we're going to get a new generation of young Northern DJ's. Even if they appreciate the music - what happens when you tell them that, even though their mates might be educated to our scene by listening to CD's, for DJing it's a tough search and £10,£50, £200+ per track.

If you intend to DJ on the Rare Soul scene then there is no choice, it has to be an original. Well there is a choice actually, you could buy a good record for £70 instead.

If you only want to listen at home just download it from some site or other for free-the artist and publishers will get the same in royalties as they would if you buy a boot.

I just collect Stateside demo's now(still about 100 short , but picked a couple up of you kind folk here), i never play them , they just gather dust, but when you do collect, it's nice to have the originals, even if you don't play them.

When i want to listen to them, i listen off the hard drive on my Pc
