Shouldn't be too much. Coupla grand a pop at first maybe? Then the investment can be recouped by doing a deal with the venue after it's proved itself out of the profits made over the bar. I am sure that any "good" venue would cover DJ costs, give the place for free AND pay the promoter a few quid once it's a going concern. Anyone fancy a punt? Phil

Well, I can say it's definitely NOT been done to make money. It would be great if it did make loads of money. I absolutely love making money, because then I can buy more records, cars, holidays etc. And the ethos it preserves, I suppose, is that of good songs being sung by good singers. I "hope" that we'll sell enough to cover the costs, but if we don't then that's life. It is being put out because we at Soul Intention records believe it deserves a release on vinyl, because by being on vinyl it WILL get played by some DJ's. There are 500 copies being produced. If you want to pre-order it you will be able to do so via https://www.soul-intention.co.uk by next weekend. Cheers Phil

Good idea. I'll fund it for the first couple of months. Anyone else?? Phil

I didn't. It's just the way the files ended up after I uploaded them. Phil

Not even with a badge once a year as well?

What if it was free admission? And all the DJ's were paid a minimum of £150-£200 for their 1 hour spot? Phil

Talking of Peter Lamarr ....... the single will be released very soon and here's some sample sound files of both sides: Side 1 - Under Lock And Key Side 2 - Take You For Granted Phil SI_002_A_preview.mp3 SI_002_B_Preview.mp3

I tried to get him to license it me & Ian D for our Soul Intention label. He wouldn't do it. Come on. Give us Mel Britt. You know it makes sense. Phil

Dunno. Still trying to get a hold of Paul for a production update. Phil

I'm not familiar with either of these tunes Has anyone got a soundfile? Thanks. Phil

Here, Here! Anyway who wants a brand new minty one anyway? Especially when they could have a proper VG+ one thats done the rounds a bit and has a story to tell

bump

Ah well. Some you win some you lose I paid several hundreds for this about 3 months ago

For Sale: One beautiful EX+ copy of Stemmons Express - Woman, Love, Thief on Wand Promo - £275.00 Please PM if interested. Cheers Phil

A few of used to play this back at Queens Hall. Gene McDaniels cover-up. Pat Brady played it first though I believe. I've just dug it out and played it for what must be the first time in over 15 years. Great record!

I've got 2 copies myself. It's quite good in an early R & B kinda way. Anybody wanna buy one? Phil

Sam Dees - Lonely For You Baby - SSS International

I missed out on all of 'em. I'll have to bid more next time I guess

You should see sopme of the others already on there

I would prefer a better condition copy to be fair. But it's not a record that you see very often, so it'll do until I can prise a better copy out of someone's hands and then this one can go on the wall. Phil

I want a Salvadors, I'm bidding for this and if I get it for less than the max I'm prepared to pay it's a good deal - Simple!

A couple more ... A.O.A. Toi

So what's the original worth now? Cheers Phil

How many has he sold previously?

Might be. Mine are reversed too. I gave "can't No One Man" quite a bit of turntable action at Bradford Queens Hall & Leeds Astoria around '88/'89 Sounds fab over a good loud system
