Raremusicdirect Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Recently a friend commented : " I'm thinking of renting mine out (45s), we all know it goes on" Is it a common practice for djs to rent someone else's tunes and play them out ? I wouldn't have thought it common but does it happen ? Or do some djs borrow other peoples 45s and play those out ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sooty Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When I was out around the UK at A/Nighters DJing each week-end...I was sent records....'anonymously'!!! I kid you not!!x I received the "Four Tracks...Like My Love For You'....and Reconsider...Brenda Holloway...and several Unreleased Motown tracks on white labels.....months before they were 'released'!! Never knew who....but knew why! Fortunately they were super tunes....so they went down well...and where mine! Well nobody has asked for em back yet....20 years later!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X Shifty lent me his Edwin Starr once.....it was my birthday and I wanted to spin...and dance too....My Kinda Woman...at Blackburn....on me birthday....and did!x Thanx mate!x @@ ~ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Rimmer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've never heard of anyone 'renting' records to play in their set in all the years I've DJ'ed. What would be the point I have to ask ? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest DeeJay Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have heard about "borrowing" records,,,and not getting them back.Maybe rental is the way forward. Lets not go there!

Guest Matt Male Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Very sad if this is happening. Mind you it's only a small step from playing a boot out to playing someone else's records. Either way you don't actually own the real 45. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Zed1 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm sure many DJ's must lend their records out given the number of them that play Exactly the same set as each other.... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
