Original or Re-Issue

[Andyj]

I have recently started dj'ing at our local Soul Night. I used what was left of my record collection (from 77 to 80ish). However I needed to update these records with some newer sounds, prices of some of records I want(ed) are out of my price range not to mention the wife's! But I have bought a number of sounds on re-issued labels such as Grapevine, Kent etc but there is a load on what seem to be replica import labels as well. Are these import re-issues frowned upon? I just want to play classic tunes to keep the dance floor full!

"Are these import re-issues frowned upon?"

They're not really frowned upon, as such. It's more just that you might as well be a member of ISIS asking on a fundamentalist Christian website forum what their views on a mutated and disorted strand of Islam is... 

 

Happy New Year and here's to worldwide tolerance in the world of northern soul!

Why don't you search for lesser played stuff or future classics instead of the same old stuff? Loads of them about.

replica imports they might be pressed abroad but commissioned by bootleggers over here alledgedly

I'm pretty tolerant towards pressing in the sense that they don't bother me. But i get more and more intolerant towards repetetive threads. Is there really a need for a) opening another boot vs origs topic and b) posting replies in it?

Have a search on previous SS threads regarding ovo etc.

If the soul police catch you playing boots you've had it.

If you're going to DJ you better start investing a bit of cash and buy real ones - or don't bother at all. If you haven't got the records to DJ then you aint a DJ.
