Does this copy play clean or is there a 'glitch' at the beginning of 'Screaming Please'?

PM me with price and condition please.

The Loricaft cleaning machine is by far the best IMO, it works the muck from deep in the grooves and then 'hoovers' it out, you can actually see the results by the residue that is collected in the 'waste jar' which is like a fine muddy silt. Your records will definitely sound better, if you're serious about old records it's a great investment.

PM me please if you have a copy.

Hi Nils, I don't want to trade the Sonja 45 but I would be interested in the Jo Ann 45 if you want to sell it. Best, Jesse

OK, that's me out of here!

I don't really understand the question, but anything can be copied I guess.

As I Understand it that would depend on a few things, firstly, is the 45 pre '63, if it is then by EU law the recording is out of copyright and you can press the musical track with impunity. However, you will still need to pay the MCPS (mechanical) royalties, these payments go to the writers of the recording via the publishing company usually (but not always) listed on the label. One other thing that is worth noting is that unissued recordings from pre '63 are not covered by this rule, the 50 year rule runs from date of first issue. This would mean that if some unissued material from '61 turned up from Okeh records but was first issued in 2001 the 50 (*now 75) year rule would run from date of first issue not the recording date. *Paul M and Cliff R got the law changed for post '62 recordings to be in copyright for 75 years. If the recording is after '63 you will need permission from the owner of the music (not always the label owner! or artist!!) and this is where it gets a bit tricky, tracking down the owners is not always easy but the internet is a good tool. I would also hasten to add that this is the rules as I understand them but you should always take legal advice when entering into contracts of this nature or pressing records you are not sure about, that's my disclaimer covered!! If anybody else out there has anything to add on the subject I'd be very happy! Over to you Ady.........

That is such a ridiculous and nonsensical response on so many different levels that I cannot even begin to write a reply so I bid you best wishes and happiness for the future and many enjoyable moments with your 'music' collection.

Hi Pow Wow Mik, The records I issue you refer to as 'boots' are in fact legal re-issues. Nothing more, nothing less. The music if more than 50 years old and pre 63' is anyone's to 'sell' with impunity as in this country that is the law, if you have a problem with that I suggest you write to your MP. The music I press that is post '63 is always cleared before pressing commences. One should sometimes be careful who you accuse and of what. I feel I better just say a few things up as I seem to be taking the rap for others and having my name dragged through the mud. I re-issue predominantly 50's R'n'B 45's on 'reproduction' labels. I always pay the MCPS royalties (you can check with the MCPS). Where possible I will also pay the artist (or estate thereof) a fee which is agreed by both sides before pressing commences. I stand by all my issues as the copyright law for music in the EU stands at 50 years for pre '63. This the law, if you disagree with it then I suggest you write to your MP. I am not the Guy who presses the Northern stuff, I am also not the Guy who masterminded the 60's Psyche stuff. I have done a few titles which cross in to the Northern scene (Charles Sheffield broke on the 50's R'n'B scene long before being a hit on the Northern scene — latecomers!). I am a 50's R'n'B collector and enthusiast at heart, as anyone on this forum who actually knows me will confirm. I got into records by buying 'boots' back in the 70's when I was a kid which due to availability and lack of pocket money at 14 years old was the only way I could hear the music I craved, I then progressed to searching for these same (and other) records on original pressings. If you like and can afford originals then you’re very lucky and that's great. If you can't but still enjoy the simple process of spinning a few 45's then the repro's and re-issues are the obvious next best thing. The fact that a 45 has been re-issued does not make the original copies any less original, it just means that others who can't afford the original copies can also enjoy playing them. Yes, I make a few quid for my efforts but people who think it's easy and that there are thousands to be made should try it for themselves. If you don’t like people playing re-issues ‘out’ then don’t go to those clubs where that happens but I don’t understand the need for criticism of people who play re-issues, it’s entirely up to the DJ that has been hired what he or she should play. By the same token, if you feel that the OVO is the way for you I do not see the need for people to criticize this approach. At the end of the day it’s a personal decision and we are all different and as such, should respect each others idea’s and opinions. I would just also add that your posts in general seem to be very angry, resentful and confrontational. Times and cultures change, scenes move on and we have choices. Some will make you happy and some will not, that choice is yours.

Agreed, but that is also assuming that the labels/ label owners that actually issued the 45's in the first place had the worldwide rights to the label designs that they originally used. I am not sure how many small labels bothered with copyright on label design back in the 50's.

Hi, I see my name being dragged through the mud here, can you please explain why? I would like to know just what I am being accused of as I am not aware that I've done anything wrong. Thanks.

Unless you have the correct permission in place, in which case it would be legal to press reproduction 45's that are from '63 onwards.

So that is what you know then, that someone else posted that I am involved with R&B re-issues? Whilst that is true I that I am involved with 50's and some 60's R'n'B 45's I would also confirm that I am not involved with 'Northern' re-issues. The suggestion on this thread seems to be that I am doing something wrong, why is that exactly?

Hi, Can you please confirm what you 'know' ? Thanks.

PM me please with price and condition

CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS? PM ME PLEASE.
