He must be a millionarir then.

Trying to publicly unmask someone who chooses to hide their identity is neither wise nor ethical. It likely also contravenes data protection laws. Can I suggest you let the mystery remain.

How do you know he wants to remain anonymous? That could be his name for all we know. I was more interested in whether he actually owns the vinyl that he puts up.

Good question but you could ask the same for thousands of Vloggers.

Because they use an assumed name. That's bit of a giveaway... Quinvy.

Always amazes me why anybody posts a tune that's already posted, and on the same label etc?

If your not first...why bother being second!

Perhaps we should start a thread where we look to unmask the identities of Soul Source members who use assumed names. No? I didn't think so.

I only use the name Quinvy because I thought you had to assume a name on the forum.

If anyone wants to be anonymous then why post on a world wide public platform?

He is saying look at me, I’ve got all these rare records.

a lot of over thinking going on here imo

 

to me reads like a simple info request

if the actual info requested  is publicly available then can't see any issues with posting the info requested

if it's not publicly available then it shouldn't be posted

 

 

 

Thanks Mike.

It's me I've got em all lol 

Certain people with very large expensive collections don't want anyone to know where they live😉

I have known several collectors who get all their records sent to their work address.

Although I must admit, it would be interesting to know if he own's all those records!

I think most blokes get their records delivered to their work address, so their partners don’t know what they are spending.

I used to have records delivered to my work address until I retired, but this was more to do with safe delivery with someone on reception to sign for them. The only time a delivery ‘failed’ was when someone in my block of flats stole the record from the postbox. Always best to tell your partner what you’re spending so they can see the assets appreciating and the estate growing.

Don’t know who the person is, but like you, I’m curious. I don’t think they own the records as they are generally ‘nice’ scans rather than a mixture of used labels. I’ve read some of the comments posted on YouTube but there is nothing to suggest who puts up the sound-clips. It looks like someone has set out to create a channel that has a sizeable following that could possibly yield a small financial return. Throwing the cat amongst the pigeons, it could be several people called Brian, Colin, Malcolm and Ignatius but I have no proof of this...

He doesn’t because he had a picture up on his you tube post of my record ,no mistaking it , soon as I wrote that’s actually my copy he changed it lol 

Just a simple question to you guys: Is it really important to know who is behind that YT channel? If yes, please justify why. If not, please move on.

Personally I couldn’t care less ,but I am interested slightly because he had a picture of my record on there and I have had it a long time and so did the person I bought it from the person I bought it from is very well known doubt it’s same people , the picture is all over the net my guess is he used that picture from the net ,Phil asked a genuine question that many people I know have been interested in , considering it was my record displaying in his YT channel that’s my justification!!

Would it change your opinion of this person, if they did, or did not own the copy posted?

Back in the day, I realised I had more chance of owning a lot of rare tunes, for a few months, than retaining them.

 

 

 

Bricomaligno ,probably the best virtual record collection in the world , unless you know better .

Sound wise definitely very good , so technically probably good with IT.

And definitely prefers rare soul music , or selling it for a living , just a thought ,,,,,

I'd guess that he/she is Morrocan and likes a bit of DIY ... 

It's me ... I'm DJ Spartacus!

post dropped as per below

 

can we sack the posting up of guesses as to this or any other id

 

as said

if its solid publicly available information then yep feel free to post by all means

if it's not (guesses/hunches etc etc) then please don't post

thanks

I've always assumed that he's motivated by income from YT

Yeah, the sound quality is much better in later posts.  He might own the records but use CD rips for better audio.  If he does own them then it's an almost unparalleled collection.  I don't seem to ever see any ads on his stuff - could be wrong - but I don't think he's monetising it.

May own many or most, impossible to tell. Definitely doesn't own ALL, as I've discovered many uploads that show a picture of a 45 and don't play the released 45 version at all but a CD-only take released later. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head, mind you... 

That YT channel by Gasmaskheadhunter has some 45s on it, that guy has a pretty amazing collection, especially having multiple rare releases of the same record. Think there’s even a Prophets on Shrine in there too.

When I was a teenager in 1967 myself and all contemporary Soul fans used to write to fanzines and share our home addresses.

What changed?

It's must be something to do with the root of all problems which is money.

Who is Brico Maligno? 

I’m pretty sure I know who he is BTW.

It’s not rocket science and if any of you think he deserves anonymity well I’m not surprised.

This is way too cryptic for me to follow!

I doubt he owns all the records but what does it matter?  Some of the scans used are as said available on the net and again as said not all are vinyl uploads.

I'm pretty sure I know who he is, and he has a banging record collection, and is very knowledgeable about the more obscure stuff.

That's the only clues I'm giving out ....

Well whoever he is, he also makes record cases for DJ's.

Yes I always tell my good lady wife ,it’s ok I got it for a fiver…..🤥🤥👍

I noticed his Professionals "That's why I love you" is a totally different version to mine? As is someone's copy called RareMusicDirect? Mines the same as Brian Pinches post on there. So is there two versions of "That's why I love you" on original?

Hi Ady

RareMusicDirect is Kevin Higham. Don't know who Bricomaligno is though.

Rob Marriot played an alternative version out back in 1990ish, sure it was an unissued acetate version sourced from the can

Good spotting. They could be Spanish but as Sherlock Holmes might say, ‘it’s not an open and shut case’.

After reading that I haven't got an effing clue who this bricomaligno is ....
I did my usual thing of jumping to conclusions, bragging about stuff, realising I was talking Sturrock's, then feeling all embarrassed about things
I thought he was a DJ from up t'north ....

 

Does it really matter who he is? And if he owns all the records he posts vids of?

Doesn't matter who is, doing a great service by posting great records!

i know one thing.. the flying witch label doesnt exist and as said before the wrong versions dont fit the labels so lots of mock up videos in that channel. that said its all about the music and its a great channel.. probably monetised at one time but sacked off now like the rest of us

Interesting observation....seems to be a default assumption that this person is male, we keep our ears open, let's do the same with our minds.

I've been following his posts and occasionally commenting for a year or two and here's a funny thing:  I can't recall ever getting an informed reply; just a thumbs up.  Maybe it's a language thing, but there's never any proper interaction.

 

In the late 1996 t’s. The CD’s that came out by Tim Brown & Martin Kopell, they made reference to the Millionaire who won on the lottery  (without any names)  and issued the two CD’s. If you have “Millionaires Only” Vol1 inside the sleeve they reference the lottery. (part his"Nick Name"  & the other his "Surname")
