Just been reading lots of threads about events who stipulate ovo, sounds like a rare disease but im sure this has been covered many times but my point is that if events state that ovo is a prerequisite is this why some events charge admission fees and high ones at that which penalises guests?
We run a free soul weekend and used to run free soul nights in morecambe and ovo wasnt an issue with vinyl mp3 and cds being played
Do the punters really care id hazard a guess that most wouldnt be bothered just that the right music in their eyes being played on the night
Id also be worried about needles and ensuring they were new to preserve the quality of the vinyl if playing v expensive records
Judging by some of the sellers selling mint/ex copies id doubt that very much or am i missing the point in that ovo events are a collectors get together and a celebration of collecting original records?
At morecambe we welcome all collectors djs people who play great music all formats
I heard that at one event a camera was linked to a big screen so that people could see which discs were veing played i mean is that really necessary?
Im sure in the heydays it was no different than now people played the tune bo matter whether ovo boot pressing or reissue?
I collect and sell records its a great feeling receiving them despite knowing playing them depreciates their value like other things you can collect
I just would be worried about playing them too many times at events but i suppose the more you collect the less of a problem it becomes
Apologies for the rant just curious as to why all of a sudden theres a necessity to use the term ovo only...
