Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Simple really, do you pitch records or not. Personally i prefer to hear and play the old vinyl as it was recorded......
pikeys dog Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Bang Em UP!!! Nothing better than hearing a Pinky and Perky Stomper. WOOF!
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Bang Em UP!!! Nothing better than hearing a Pinky and Perky Stomper. WOOF! link Joe what about Ike Noble........did you play it minus 3
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Ike Noble? Not I! WOOF! link Thought you had that.........or was it Milton Grayson....hell same joke......
pikeys dog Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Used to have an original demo and matching test pressing of Milt Grayson.... Too blummin slow at +6........ WOOF!
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Used to have an original demo and matching test pressing of Milt Grayson.... Too blummin slow at +6........ WOOF! link aahhh.......the Velvet Voice, gotta go dig it out and play the foul and heinous swine now........
pikeys dog Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 As a slow track, much prefer Jimmy Ricks 'Oh What A Feeling'.... so much so I played it in the R&B room on Sunday. WOOF!

WOOF! link Gotta agree fine and dandy tune Herr Dog. But what about Lonnie Brooks for an up tempo mover on the wonderful "Cheer Up With The Chirrup" label....hell my good man it is worth buying purely for the asthetic beauty of that said label.
Guest Jamie Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Sorry to interupt ladies, but I'm of the opinion some tracks sound better ++ a little. I know there's a whole crowd of you that have the pitch welded-up and insist they should be played the way the artist intended. The puritan in me agrees, but the devil in me, after a heady cocktail of booze and the like, insists the pitch gets a gentle prod on the + side. Not every track mind, just the odd one that in my opinion becomes more 'dancefloor friendly' after a slight adjustment. I'm not talking 'Chipmunks' speed, hell no! There, that's my opinion.

Guest Jamie Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Me and you are going to have a serious talk young fella......... link Aww crap! you have an opinion and the Australian Dog Whip comes out from under the stairs. Be gentle with me, for I am young and foolish
Guest Jamie Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Me and you are going to have a serious talk young fella......... link You telling me you can tell I've pitched Frederick Hymes @ 2:00 in the morning after one of our sessions and you're dancing your little ass off? Not bloody likely mate
pikeys dog Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) I have a couple of tunes that actually need dropping down a peg.... I also have a ballad that when spun at +6 is an awesome mid-tempo track. WOOF! Edited March 11, 2005 by pikeys dog
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Reason for the original post, is that i was at the Dome (some time back) and they played Delores Clark "living to please" and it was pitched higher, just didn't sound right, hell i know that record move for move, totally f**** my choreographed dance moves up ( yeahhhh right).

No f***** pricks up their ears and really notices, it just helps the dancefloor. All in my clueless opinion that is

Guest Jamie Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Well i'm a f****** that pricks up their ears, good god i am also sanctomonious (whatever that f******* means) link Maybe I didn't give you enough credit. You still have answered my question about Freddie Hymes. Tell you what, I'll pitch a track in my first set (making it easy!) at +2. You tell me which one it was, you sanctamonious f***** £10 on it
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 In all seriousness Jamie i really cannot see the point of pitching, surely it's the reserve of the fucking hip hop t*** Dj, yes i know it has happend for years, but i have always listened to vinyl at home at its original speed.....guess i'm a purist and not as i always say to you and others a DJ.

I must admit mate, at home I never fiddle with the pitch. Weird that, it's just when I've had a skin-full playing out
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Jamie surely you would never flip the Royal Esquires and pitch that glorious baby......would you , we both know that it is a brilliant tune and i would shriek like some foul howling banshee with swine fever, if ever i heard that bastard occurence
Bigsoulman Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Defo not, i'm with you regarding it being played the way its meant to be, not speeded up or toned down

I would slice off my own hands with a Scimitar if I touched the pitch on that. Sacrilege!
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Defo not, i'm with you regarding it being played the way its meant to be, not speeded up or toned down link BIGSOULMAN, i'm drinking shiraz cabernet.........would you like a glass
