pikeys dog Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Someone throw that depressing dog a bone! Take on board all you're saying Pikey but we were trying to make this a bit of fun... From what you have said, the return on investment is very very bad ie: you only get half of the CDs you should and a third of the ones you do get are useless. Is it really that bad - are you saying we shouldn't do this at all? No, not saying you shouldn't do it.... Just a realist / passing on my experiences. Would underline the fact that people need to pop a sticker / their name on the disc, as theres nothing as frustrating as liking a track and having to search through loads of tracklistings until you find it.... WOOF! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Kolla Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 This style is called "Jamaican Beat" around my part of the country, many of these tracks are "popcorn", too. A lot of Jamaicans, mainly in New York, have their own dances and spin these rare records. Jamaican Beat ?? There's another one to add to the 'northern genres' thread then Welcome to Soul Source Jason. You're on the list ! Up to 12 now.

Dayo Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Just a note to ask if you can take account of holidays/vacations when setting the timescale on this project. For instance, I'm away for a week from 17th Aug. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mark Bicknell Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Sorry bit slow off the blocks with this one, had a bit of a strange week all in all, this is right up my street and would love to take part, only i wish it was a tape swap...lol or mini disc...lol - i think i can just about do this but please let us know when its all gonna start.

Guest DeeJay Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 If im not too late Id be interested, Jason form Baltomore did you go to the LA weekender? Dave Bywell (DJ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kolla Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Up to 16 - only a few more hours to go... List so far Me / Al Dayo Dan MissGoldie Mark B Mark (VoS) Scott (RichS) Paul (P5OULH) Craig Miff Jock Jason Fraser Mark Bicknell Dave (Deejay) Nick G When list closes tonight - i'll put up timetable of when CD should be done by and the date they should be posted out to the other contributors). If Dayo is off from the 17th, basically we have to all agree either on sending out the CDs on August 16th, which gives us just over a week, OR wait until say the 26th August - which gives us nearly three weeks. Let me know what you think. Me and Al are ok with either date. Mark - what's a minidisc? LOL Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dan Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Aug 16 fine for me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest miff Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Aug 16th ok for me. Started putting a song list together, this is harder then what i thorght it would be, ime finding my self trying to please others not nescercerly playing my own tastes. Anybody got any requests, there i go again, also didnt realise how much has been released on cd, so if some of the tracks have been released please forgive me, one more thing can anybody tell what little ann tracks have been put out i was thinking of "The smile on your face" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kolla Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Nick is away later in August so it's looking like 16th AUGUST is goign to be a good date to complete the CD. Miff, 'Smile on your face' was on Dave Hamilton's Detroit Dancers Vol 2. (Kent). If Ady has objections i'm sure a bottle of Port will swing it ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Missgoldie Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Im away from 8th - 22nd is it possible for me to post mine after this. sorry I forgot and was just thinking "bright shiney new CDs" I'll put my hand up. OOPS Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jazzyjas Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Jason form Baltomore did you go to the LA weekender? Dave Bywell (DJ) Yes, DJ I was at the Los Angeles weekender. I was the guy that told you about having Gary Levine's cassette from 1983 that you made. Still sounds good, too. Actually, your copy of Jay Traynor's "Up and Over" transferred over from that old cassette, sounded better than the one that was issued on Casino Classics V. 2 on Goldmine Soul Supply. I still have your work business card, so I'll stay in touch. Miff, Actually, yes there are some essential tracks that I need that I haven't found on CD yet: 1. Clydie King-Only the Guilty Cry-Philips 2. Hal Miller-On My Own Two Feet-Amy 3. Whispers-It Only Hurts For a Little While-Dor 4. Tony Middleton-Drifting-United Artists 5. Springfield Rifle-That's All I Really Need-Jerden (not sure if this fits the format or not) 6. Jimmy Ellis-Happy to Be-Century City 7. Ralph Graham-She Just Sits There-Up Front(or up look?)-Now, I know this just got comped, but it sounds dreadful. I'd love to hear this one a bit cleared up if possible. 8. Jimmy Barnes-Maybe Never-Sue (i might put this one on mine, but maybe someone has a cleaner copy? let me know) Any or all of those would be greatly appreciated!

Chalky Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 How are you supposed to work that out or are you just covering yourself by saying this? What about if you own the record and have paid a lot of money for it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dan Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I think the CD rule is well-meant but pretty unworkable. From my p-o-v, I don't have that many CDs so if I stick something on which happens to be on a CD that's just going to be the way it is! I think we can be trusted not to take stuff off CDs and claim it as our own. I'm happy to let the Soul Source Rapid Reaction Inspection Team stage a lightning raid on me house to check for breach of sanctions... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kolla Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 List of contributors has now closed. Each contributor has to make 15 CDS. I've PM'd everyone on the list with full details of what to do. The CD must be completed before the (with exception of Miss Goldie) the 16th August. Date for posting your CDs to each contributor is the 16th August. I can't seem to find Paul's original post (P5OULH) - if you don't want to be included anymore, send me a PM. Cheers. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kolla Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 By the way - Shute & Jordi - if you guys get your Cd burners together, I'm sure everyone will swap with you at a later date. Let us know when you're sorted. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mark Bicknell Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Kolla, This sounds cool to me, are we sticking to this non CD tracks only i.e only taking from original 45's format or are we going for just as much quality and variation as possible? I wanna play by the rules here but also want to put together a corking CD. Regards - Mark Bicknell Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kolla Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Mark - Check your messages - sent you a PM yesterday - original 45s / Lp & EP tracks is the name of the game. I'm shaking in my boots putting the comp together. A lot of the participants are seasoned soulies and just trying to find tunes that you might not have heard is a task in itself... might have to delve into my midtempo JA soul for the surprises - Naturally - the rest is gonna be heavily influenced by my favourite club .. 6Ts ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Craig W Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Actually, yes there are some essential tracks that I need that I haven't found on CD yet: 5. Springfield Rifle-That's All I Really Need-Jerden (not sure if this fits the format or not) Jason I have this 45 on a Burdette 455 white label PS 45 which i think i will include on my CD because it fits in the midtempo thing nicely, but was this released before or after the Jerden 45 and which is the rarer of the two.

jocko Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I dont mind either the more the merrier. Started mines last night, being a child (I wish) of the 80's Northern scene wise anyway, realised my midtempo may be abit slower than some of the things discussed, hope thats okay for most.

Every track on there apart from the last one, i've played out. There is one track that I know is on a cd (YOU'RE FALLING IN LOVE - BETTY EVERETT), but as far as I know it's only on one CD (i'm proberly wrong). If anything at least you can listern to it in the car. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

(confusion may have arisen where I used the number 20 as an example in a reply) Managed to squeeze 31 tracks on the cd in the end.Apologies for any lack in quality as i have taken all my tracks off 45s and its my first ever attempt at this sort of thing but have tried it out in my car and it sounds fine. I have also got a few of the track listings in the wrong order but you will soon work it out. It has been a labour of love but worth it. Craig.
