Basically ,it's a legit re- issue so it's no different to any other re-issue ,it's not for a OVO venue . 7 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Come to think of it ,usually the same venues and dj's that mock rare soul venues and rare soul dj's as the type of places that only play boring chin stroker music ...when it suits lol Like I said ...it's up to an individuals integrity , if you dj at non ovo venues I won't be offended . 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Russ Vickers Posted July 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2013 Number 1....buy it, so hopefully the artist will get some royalties & you can hear it at home, better still release it as a download, if ya wanna hear it at a venue, travel to hear a DJ who has the original, like we used to & like we should do....

Wiggyflat Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I hear Marc Forest play it at Solid Hit Soul and liked it that much I asked him what it was..that was a while ago now so it must be an oldie.. now its been pressed it should be dropped from.the playlists.If these DJs that had it covered it up they might have got a bit of life out of it.

As already stated ,despite others owning and playing it out beforehand ,Paul Sadot alerted us to this in 2010 ..only 3 yrs back ,yrs 3 yrs back ..so in real terms ,the upfront crowd have been enjoying the sound for a pretty short time in terms of the " northern " or rare soul scene . Why should that deem it a oldie ? Most records take as long to be broken to the masses and probably longer ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Manfromsoul45s Posted July 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2013 Think that's the problem. Alex goes under quite a few people's radar on here so hence people not catching on for a while. Credit where credit's due to Alex 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
NEV Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Depends if you think it's good enough to play out Fully understand that point as to where it would fit in at the time you first got it .

Manfromsoul45s Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Exactly Nev. When I first had this it would have gone down like a lead balloon.. I did disagree with Butch though at least on "there was a woman" side of the proffs Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Proffs still played though by at least three or four Dj's over the years. It will still be interesting to see if John Harris crosses over to the mainstream northern scene.

I don't hear too many records that are well established on the rare scene ,being played at mainstream events . Certainly not all nighter sounds or to be frank ,anything new unless its a remix lol 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That would have been 2010 or 2011 I think ? I believe its safe to say it was Paul Sadot who first integrated it constantly in his sets, trying to make the record popular. At least it was him I in 2009 heard it first play out. Despite his copy selling fast end of 2009/2010 it wasnt like a rush of people who were after it... its safe to say the record still pretty much was unknown to the vast majority of the Rare Soul scene. At least I can assure it was unheard of over here when I started playing it in 2010. Since then it always caused big interest whereever I played it, be it on the continent or the UK (incl its first airing at lifeline). Most of my English friends who came over to Berlin during the last years did not know the record before. John Harris really just took off the last three years. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Grumpyfella Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Alex used to play it covered up so that is another reason why it slipped under the radar too. Cheers Phil Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul DJ'ed at Lifeline when we were at the Fox so he probably played it there? Can't say for certain though. Alex Jones also DJ'ed at Lifeline before you made your appearance Marc but I have all on remembering what I had for breakfast these days let alone a record played at Lifeline in years gone by.

Mick Holdsworth Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Not yet. I haven't had an email to say they have been posted, it could be they are still yet to release it. Just checked - the website is now saying "Ready for shipping" - I'm sure that is a very recent update in the last 2 days, so looks like the pre-orders will go out today / Monday or so, so we should expect delivery in the UK about next Friday / Saturday maybe Cheers Mick Edited July 20, 2013 by Mick Holdsworth Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
