that's right, I used to rep some of Jonas's material at PYMCA back in 2000/1, strange cause he always told me it was Sean at the 100 club..but hey. Sean's face was a peach, initially he was WTF are you on about, then I mentioned how much my clients might pay... happy days.. Mal

Lock em, it the only way.. and then none of us can comment on what should be a simple exercise.. were all guilty.. m

Blimey that number 84, has drive me to dispare, the one time it came up for sale recently, I did not have the money... GOD DAMM its a good one..reminds me of the famous Ted Massey tapes from the Old Vic, dark rainy nights in Wolverhampton lit with yellow street lamps and the entrance at the back of the car park... Pep's Mrs on the door... kinda what Northern soul is... Mal.C

Ian if its for editorial use, then if your in there incidentally its really at the discretion of the Photographer / Medium its appeared in, and I mentioned earlier the various factors with regard to this, if its commercial, you need model release if your seen clearly, obviously you must be fully recognizable within the frame. So in answer to your question about tracing all recognizable people for commercial use, you would have to, and if you could not find them, these days editorial clients or the press would likely do some mac work to loose the person/s, or disclaim. I've had instances where incidental people have come forward, and we offered to pull the picture for future syndication, the image in question was at a Rave do at Shoom, and was licensed into a 3 pt series for Ch4 by Flame production called 'Pump up the Volume' all this chap eally wanted was cash and I ended up being pretty heavily threatened in the office by one guy, not nice... A happy related story... I worked for an agency called PYMCA long time ago, and I cleared images taken at the 100 club and various other soul nighters / weekenders for commercial use within Virgin Mega stores through out London. One very recognizable image was a certain person below, I wont mention his name; anyhow I knew him and approached him to sign a release form at the 100 club one night, for which my client paid a very nice 4 figure sum, he could not believe it, that much for doing, uuurrrr nothing.. laughs... and the picture since then has been on all sorts of places, CD's god knows what else... a happy ending, and I think one of the best images I've seen taken at a soul do... this is what its all about!!! Mal.C

I know its got silly really, and thats due mainly to social media I think, the use and the abuse of. Mal

Absolutely, If you take a photograph, thats your copyright, and thats yours unless you agree representation through an agent or 3rd party. This differs with moving footage; an example I give a lot of my clients being, a cameraman shooting a film for a major studio, well he doesn't own the copyright, the Company as producer / Director is assigned copyright, and the contract the cameraman has with the studio will also have a clause stating the cameraman retains no copyright in the work. In regard to the very entertaining clip, the chap was within his rights, if you take a picture on public land, your within your rights to do so, if that image is used editorially the publisher may pixilate or obscure any identifying numbers or names or people, as not to invite legal action, obviously with the press the initial reason for the image might well receive legal action, but the treatment of the image is paramount if you want to say something which is deemed 'In the Public Interest'. In regard to people, again you retain copyright in all cases unless on private land or in some cases working for or in the pay of an employer. I had an experience at a soul night recently where a chap just got in front of myself and my wife took 4/5 frames and when I asked that he not do anything with them he told me it's my copyright, I can do what I want. I just let it go, I wasn't happy but he was within his rights, that said if an instance gets to court, images taken under duress will influence any ruling. My rule is be sensitive to people wishes, if they don't look like they want to be photographed, don't photograph them. If they are incidental within a frame, there are lots of options open to you if you're using editorially within this web site for instance, Blurring, cropping out, Pixalating etc..If used commercially you need approval, or Model Release as its called within the media, and that involves a fee paid onto the model. After that there maybe all type of approvals you may need to seek and that falls under the constrains of a commercial licence. Mal.C.

Christ I paid a fiver for my 12 inch of this... flip is liked on the house scene... very good record, and slightly diff mix than the 7 inch release?? M

Got a nice German Picture sleeve on Buddah of 'give me your Love' the Mayfield song, and flips really good as well think its 'You can be with the one you don't love'. Think her Buddah material gets a bit overlooked compared with the Artic releases. Mal

oh right, simple... with allot of tracks it can be tricky though, I just got a UK Darrell banks issue on Stateside of Pete which I never know came out on London American over here, not surprising cause I collect Aussie outside of yank releases, but I expect you would you all consider those both original releases? to be honest I always plumb for originals, unless personally they are presses of tracks I bought in the eighties cause I had no money, so Mike Post on Soul Beat for example, or Alfie Davidson on SOS, in allot of cases they look far cooler that the orig release and simply take me back to being 16 and skint!... now I'm older i can afford to buy the original, but I like to play the reissues at home... sorry mate not answered your question has it.... mal

sorry, timid boy at the back here...........whats OVO mean??

This is a recent one for me, and not in the vein of the above, not a out and out dancer and I did not know it before I saw / heard the Kent reissue of it, But Tommy Tates's - 'If you gotta Love Somebody' is absolutely mind blowing!!! and its like that every time I play it... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mal.C

June Jackson, or HJ Jackson is a guy I've always wanted to contact, obviously cause of his Musette brace of 45's, i was told by Greg Tormo that he had spoken to him in the 8ts early 9ts maybe, but other that that June's just a name on one of my favorite records... add Daphine Williams to that list, I tracked down loads of the Yodi people some years ago, label owner Alan Merry, Gus Thornton, Sharon Clarke, Mark Swansa and I was told Daphine was living in Texas, But that's as far as it got, he was supposed to be a bit of card according to Sharon Clarke. mal

Take this Pete BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP - DOCTOR WHO THEME - DECCA EX 20 Hey I never said it was all Northern did I? The original Doctor Who theme - it's brilliant!

cool, so how much does a copy of Lans Thelwell set me back? m

People above were generally discussing these releases and group, and I noticed what I guess is the fist issue of a record I mentioned above which came up for sale confirming it has the same flip as the later sapphire release. Simply that, I'm no asking anything.

ahh, Diggin Dave has the earlier release for sale, so the flip o The Bushman The 10th Dymentions - The bush man / My love for you So same tracks as the sapphire release (Red label) or 1st release then on Saluda out of South Carolina.. Mal.C

Tell you what I have got Dave that you might like, Chuck Jackson - Any Day Now, on Red or rouge Festival, demo with 1962 release date, think it was a friday, stunning looking thing, i'll get it scanned. m

you might want to put down what and by who Dave, allot of anoraks on here but SS489 ISSUE EX- don't mean buggar all to me..

deffo cover 33, and now all their white sleeves fit nicely in the card covers. m
