    Not really the sort of thing I'm talking about my freind I was talking about track that are unknown os semi known that fro one reason or other havent quite got it, but could easily cut it with minor alterations, there are loads of other examples like the one Mace posted. any links? Mr K is the King when it comes to disco edits, he along with Moulton virtually invented them

    If I ever get me shite together I'm going to cut a hip hop track based around a sample off the solo, it'd sell bucket loads, I'm suprised puff 'ken' Doddy aint on it already, stick KRS1 on top and wa- la.

    you mentioned this to me but nothing could of prepared me :lol: Lets put it another way Tony, what if your'e just offered, or hit upon this fantastic track on an authentic looking dub plate, you think its amazing, but discover its origin and its been doctored in someway or other.Do you continue to play it? shades of Ginger and the four vandals affair here, but surely to quote mr Gordy, its whats in the ................

    Is it ever acceptablee to play a re- edit or re- production at a night/ nighter? Just say you had a fantastic acetate of master recording of some lost 6ts, or 7ts recording, but it just wasnt finished, it didnt have a bassline, drums, or needed an organ to fill out ther sound or maybe a terrible phyc guitar solo in the middle . Just say you had a working knowledge of music production, pro tools. ect. Would you use your skills to complete the track, cut it onto acetate and play it out? Obviously there are loads of variations on this theme, which I'm sure you'll identitfy!

    Thanks Adey, very pertinent piont reminding me the of true purpose of promo copies, ie not to make rare soul collectors salivate, but to actually increase sales of the actual release.

    Fair point, Russ, I really wasnt trying to be mischeiveious about this, just curious. it would be a little peverse if the anniversary one's, that we all want, were the only ones where the artist didnt get any dough, but as you say there are all kinda reasons that an artist didnt get payed, even in the 6ts.
  10. Geeselad
    Now I've always wondered with these, did melba get a royalty from the promo only anniversary? or is it better to play a horaces one, where perhaps she got she got at least some financial reward? Adey can you put us straight? you dont HAVE to pay royalties on promo copies do you?

    its what its all about for me, same as those guys at the flamingo or brazennose street.

    Basically, if the OVO situation has to be explained to you, you need, to buy more tunes, get out talk more to other punters, go out to events, anything other than be DJing at yer local handbag night! just my humble opinion, but all this justifying what should be patently bleeding obvious to anyone on actually on the scene, we dont constantly have to explain why old men wear ridiculous trousers on here do we? Its an essential part of heritage of the scene, except it.

    Mentioned it on here before but, Gloria Gaynor- You'll be sorry- Jocida much Cheapness here, payed £15 of you English pounds for it me sen, her first record. Its uptempo, has an amazingly accomplished vocal style for one so young and an unmistakable latin feel to the production, get it while you can.
  14. Geeselad
    Just waiting for someone to throw in a ringer like this one, basically, the only question to ask is can you get it elsewhere on a more authentic format? is so dont play it, the Poggy and the monarchs is prev unreleased to obviously ok to play it, but not the other side for sure.
  15. Geeselad
    Same as my little girl instro, on jay boy, isnt it?, but who wnats to hear stomping instro's nowadays anyway, esp if they've already been played on the scene,

    There always some Dj only to ready to play to the lowest common denominator, and his mates/ missus only too ready to tell him he was brilliant for playing the 'champion' or 'lets go somewhere'. These guys think its some kinda revelation to play the records we all own but avoid playing everytime through want of something a little more wholesome, I love a fritter from the chippy but I dont want it every night.

    if its been booted its old hat, play something thats not been on a official CD, boot or even on the tube!
  18. Geeselad
    I'll second that.

    YOU BEAT ME TO IT.

    jammy jamster you.

    can you give us any idea of what your looking for style wise, what the music policy for the night?
  22. Geeselad
    There are certainly still plenty of punters out there, which is good, but the lack of unity such a situation brings isnt positive. So many many middle aged men who wanna dj, myself included, thats great if it stems from a passion for music, rather than a desire to feed an ego, the former reason leads to musical diversity and quality, the later can lead to punters hearing hammered pricey oldies over and over again or sub standard but again expensive, exclusives's imho.
  23. Geeselad
    Totally agree, without a doubt the most significant venue over the last 25 years and beyond. someone did put down the first kent LP, its hard to divide the two entities.

    I've heard the same tale, Jez..... sure you told me about this!?
  25. Geeselad
    just what I was thinking, and I wasnt there!
