Ah well fair enough

Is it just me or my eyesight but somehow the title of this topic always plays tricks on my mind. Is it  Freudian Slip or maybe just my dodgy eyesight!"? I wonder

Sorry, I was not expecting this link??!! I would have thought the ticked was going me down saff!?

Mucho Tacko

My brain ain't working but am I right in saying that Chuck Jackson - We' ll Find A Way - Tamla Motown LP (Arrives) was never released as a 45!!?? Thanks

Yep, it's like when you drive with dodgy petrol in your car.. the engine starts to go funny lots of smoke and no fire!!! Suddenly the car stopps and you find yourself in front of......to be continued .. <

Ian, I agree that a mix with rare/cheapies/classics/lesser knowns is the way to go. One of the things what made the Northern Scene so exciting was the tunes, the dancing, the record hunting, that C/UP you traveled to hear, the aspiration to one day get that friggin record.... It was for me, for you and many others not just DJ's and collectors. It was THAT BUZZ created by the above what made and makes it so exciting and different to other scenes!!! Keep the flame burning so other people who may not been born yet can see the light and feel the buzz Alleluia or KEEP THE FAITH

By the way if you save £3,516 (The Salvadores) over a peroid of 2 years that is £ 146,5 per month. Well, you could either get one overplayed oldie or you could get some top notch tunes for an hour set of some great rare & not so rare, unknown, classic and indemant tunes. one track for : £ 6 one track for: £ 10 five tracks for: £ 20 five tracks for: £ 25 four tracks for: £ 50 one track for: £ 75 ten tracks for: £ 100 one tracks for: £ 250 one track for: £ 350 one track for: £ 1150 Yes you need to have passion!!!! Yes you need a little bit of money but not a million to play a lovely ovo set!!!!!! Yes you need to be a bit mad to pay £3,516 for records instead of spending it on a holiday a car or whatever. But HEY also.. I also believe that there may be a place (a small bar/ or a country where access/funds are very limited) or a time (starting off in a small bar) to play reissues, boots ....but I believe that: The Soul S.cene N.eeds O.riginal P.latters to retain its uniqueness and passion on and off the dancefloor. If people wouldn't care anymore about original records I believe the interest to find unknown tracks will slowly disappear as well as the passion about collecting them and the music itself. Some people argue about the tradition of this and that on other issues tooooo death and at the same time may think that playing reissues/ boots is ok??!!?? It is & was bloody part of the tradition of the Northern Scene to aspire to own and play original vinyl full stop!!! Also, because of the value of these records to the Northern Soul Scene they are normally kept in good nick and therefore are going to be available to future generations for recording purposes as well as for their enjoyment. If records wouldn't have a value (created through the demand) they would be dumped and therefore many recordings would be lost. .....AND If you go to an art gallery full of fakes and you just paid $$ to see them what would you think??? If you go to an art gallery with a lots of wonderful original artwork what would you think??? Or you go to a caf or small bar where for decorative purposes some prints of rare drawings have been used to give the place a nice feel, what would you think??? I think that is fine as it looks nice and gets people into art> same with music but yes but no but ...!!! Pfuh

If you guys are still up for it and speak german you can join in a simelar debate on CD's+ digital djing v Records within the Goa scene www.goatrance.de Some argue that since the the introduction of CD mixing + digital djing things are getting worse....

Reissue mate, Not even the 2nd issue Must be the Dj -vu-issue!! I'll stick with OVO! Everything else is tooo confusing!!

Also, in 1945 disk were selling for $ 0,75-1,5 BOOTS for $ 10 !!!! Because of the demand for Joe Liggins ''The Honeydripper'' in the midwest, Pullman porters would take records to Chicago from Los Angeles and bootleg them at ten!! dollars a disk!!! First time a bootleg was more expensive then the original?? New topic oldest bootleg??!!

Oh no! Lots of bootlegging going on from the early days! Apparantly the mob was 'investing' in those activities. Arnold Shaw (music executive & producer of R&B) wrote a fantastic book in 1978 about R&B ''Honkers and Shouters'' (from the blues craze of the 20#s until Billboard ceased publication of its R&B charts) Many records which went big in one part of the country would struggle to sell in another because of ''heavy bootlegging'' especially in the 50`s!! '' It was heavy in those days -the bootleggers got me for another million. The reason I know is that in New Orleans the record wasn't selling. We couldn't figure it out. Everywhere else we had tremendous sales. The answer was the bootleggers were shipping it in from Chicago. The Mob had a setup in Chicago-they caught them at the time -in a great, big colonial house. It was stripped from basement to attic and loaded with records, coming in from Cincinnati by bus. It was not just my record, but everybody's label: Andy Williams and The Everly Brothers on Archie Bleyer's Label:Chess Records Columbia , Epic, youi name it. They were bootleggin everybody.''

The good think is once we get hit by an Electrical Storm lots of data will be lost. Dooom The End of the World but dem platters survived Yippie decks are mechanical!!! Sorry I changed my mind!! Please can all of you sell your vinyl at the same time!! Don't bother with OV0!! It sucks big time!! It's just the music that counts!! Allways buy Leeweis!!! Don't go to an art exhibition!!!

Sorry to hear that!!

Well, once people don't care, it's all CD's soon. Nevermind the rare occasion of a Yum Yum!!

Huh... don't forget, you are also selling original platters. If people stop buying them, the price/ markup goes down.... If you sit in tree and look around, sure all apples may look pretty much the same but don't cut of the tree branch underneath you!

Hm... The original 'carrier' of the artistic output of a painting is a canvas which is normally produced just once for the enjoyment of its owner. The original 'carrier' of music is vinyl (ok. new stuff...CD) produced in different quantities for the enjoyment of its owner (or people who happen to be there at the same time i.e. Club). I guess the absolute original format would be the idea in the writers head. Wow, that would be great!!! People coming together to think about different tracks at an allnighter. Northern Soul Thinking Allnighter No huming please I stick with OVO

Just wondered? As for Original Artwork, is it just the image that counts??

Art Magazine Accuses Collector Forged Paintings at Forthcoming Dali Exhibition? In its latest edition the magazine claimed the exhibition in question was notorious among art experts for its inclusion of several forged paintings.(25.8.2000) Is music Art ?? I think so!!

A Hamburg museum has closed an exhibition of Chinese terracotta warriors after it discovered the figures were fakes.(14 Dec 2007) Visitors who previously viewed the exhibition are being offered a refund. One of India's most popular artists says he visited an exhibition of his works in Delhi only to discover many of the paintings were fakes

Just found it on youtube! ">

If you Skate'n'Dance to a quite fast and frantic tune you may get away with it. Well, it does look a bit like the good shuffling style then! Mind you, dj'ing is a bit of a bugger I can tell you !!!

Just some nice footage I wanted to share. The winners of the Dance Competition from the Allnighter !!!! ">

Yep. the less the better. Keep it tight. Great tunes by the way!!! Also, it's quite fun to say to your mates while playing a set ...say stop...while you go up and down the box with your finger pointing at records..(a bit like furtune wheel in order to choose the next track) Its great fun!! Since then.....I made sure I select only tracks I feel 100% good with instead of carrying stuff around as dead weight. I know, every night and crowd can be different but a bit of fun keeps one sharp!!!
