Liam (Greg), i was at Different strokes a bit back when Aidy played his Pied Piper stuff, as brilliant as they were i'm not sure if it's the right thing to do to mass produce them onto 45's, i would be more than happy just to have the cd's.
Two other points i would disagree with.... You say no-one has the ball's to dj with ton's of stuff?? not sure what venue's you attend but the places i frequent (quite a few) are blessed with so much variety of underplayed, semi-known good dance tracks and relatively new introductions.
Your other assessment.... all the old collectors have got all the mega tunes (as if to say stashed at home forever)?? No they
haven't, the likes of Sam, Butch, Mick, Andy, to name a few, share them with us, if the guys that have all the one-offs only to never let the outside world hear them then let them deny us... there are more than enough to keep us regulars happy.
I respect you mate and don't wish to enter into any negative dialogue, i guess we both have our opinions Neil
