Well, I`ve just about managed to play the last batch of CDs to death so i guess its time to do it all over again...Lets keep it to the same 25 guys as so many of you have requested. I`m sure you will agree that the quality of the last batch of CDs was amazing....

So, we need a theme, already had a few suggestions....so whats it gonna be???

Suggestions so far are.....LP tracks again, under £50 45s, stuff that hasn`t been on CD before, forgotten 70s oldies...

To all the guys who participated last time.....Please confirm your participation and if we have some spare places we will open it up to other people....dont wish to be elitest but this was requested by many of the first swapees!

Chris

Hi Chris.

If I can play this time i'd go for 'under £50 45's'

In anticipation.....Mo

I'm In Chris!

How about a Gloves Off / No Holds Barred.......... '20 Incredible Soul Records That You've All Just Got To Hear' CD.

Or '20 Deep Soul Killers'................?

But I'd go for any of the above!

Sean

I'm In Chris!

Sean

Fine with any of the above and Chris's suggestions. I spend all day making decisions so happy to abide by the concensus.

Regards Alan

add me in again chris

lp tracks again would be great

let me know what you want

cheers sean

I`m up for suggestions although i must admit "'20 Incredible Soul Records That You've All Just Got To Hear' sounds good...although it does rather take away the "Theme" element of the swap!

Lets say a closing date of next Wednesday 2nd May for all the people involved last time to PM me to confirm their involvement in this swap...after that we will open it up to others and put a strict 25 limit on it.

Meanwhile lets hear some more suggestions on themes.....

Chris

COUNT ME IN !!! WHAT ABOUT KILLER BALLADS MALE V FEMALE OR PART 1 FEMALE...PART 2 MALE ? GROUP INCLUDED OR COULD BE A SEPERATE CD FOR FUTURE

CPTN M

Count me in

Got in early this time too!

I'll go with the flow..............................

Cheers

Steve

...Lets keep it to the same 25 guys as so many of you have requested.

I thought that the point of these swaps was to give exposures to tunes people may not know. Surely this is an open forum for all to contribute. Keeping the CD swapping to the same 25 people is creating a "clicky" club and putting up barriers to other people. Suely it should be first come first served?

If you're allowing new people, i'd like to be included.

Why don't we have 4 themes, lp tracks, under £50 45's, deep and ballards and a free style cd, then up to the to the individual to decide and then you get a right mixture of stuff ? just an idea see what people think.

Can i add also that in the current climate should we when making our cd's have to put a disclaimer on all the cd's just in case certain djs have the rights to the records and also pictures of the records and proof that they are in fact the origninal item and not pressings or boots or dubs etc

Sorry about that just been looking and at another thread and shaking my head

Anyway count me in,

Count me in although may need some help in here to get my USB turntable recording again f*****g thing is just recording white noise( I have already heard the comments thats better than my normal choices )

Happy with Andy's themes, might even do all 4 for myself and then send out different ones to different people, or is that just a little too confusing!!

Andy Mann

Classic!

I wanna' play......a suggestion from me would be 20 records that are doing it for you at the moment that you have not heard out in the last 5, 10, 15, ? years......this should throw up some very interesting stuff me thinks

If its open to all i'll have a go but I carn't do lps as I dont have enough

Yep count me in again, still playing the last ones, brillant stuff allround.

I would go with lp tracks again, or how about we just chose our own 'themes'?

Can't really do deep or female as i don't collect them!

Classic!

Cheers Sean i thought you would like that, gutted i missed essence looking forward to the swap.

Andy

Count me in to,I missed out on the last one so can i play

Hi

Count me in again. Think it would be good to do something different this time from the Lp tracks, but happy to hear any great tunes

I agree that everyone who fancies the CD swap should be included rather than the 'lucky' ones who did the first one!

I know this causes problems like ' it takes months to work thru them all' etc etc BUT we shouldn't let a little point like this hold us back!

Totally Agree with what Steve's comment, If at all can be included in this count me in

Cheers

Bully

Count me in again - I'm up for anything. Under £40, downbeat or whatever. Just let me know when you want us to start............

if "new" people can join, I'd like to be in as well, no matter what theme.

I might would have a problem with compiling a CD full of unknown early R'n'B stormers due to lack of records but apart from that, I'd go with the flow..

best,

Stefan

I'll play again.

How about one third of the tracks from the 60s, onethird from 70's, one third from 80's?

TT

Good call again Chris.

Count me in again. Not too fussed what's decided on this time around.

OK. ok, ok...... This is it.....................

The first 30 people to PM me with their postal address and email address will be included......then its 30 Cds each to do..... (its no good just replying to this thread saying "I`m in" you must PM me!!)

I`ll close the thread when all 30 people have PM`d me....

After the first 30 there will be no more exceptions or favours.....thats it!

I`m the good guy here, just trying to do right by everyone.....I dont mean to get anal (chance would be a fine thing!) but of the guys who participated last time many asked that it was the same people who are included next time...i think this gives everyone an equal chance....

If you miss out then I`m sorry...start another swap or something!

Still open to suggestions on a theme.

OK, PM me...starting now...........

Is this any good for a theme?

Otherwise I'll go with whatever is decided.

Chris

Itching to start on the CD Chris.

Any thoughts on the theme?

How about the last few participants? Are all the previous crowd on board?

Think we'll all miss Eddie Hubbard's involvement if he's not included. Can I nominate him by proxy?

Thanks again for kicking this off again. Last one was a cracker!

Sean

I've sent my PM, so hopefully got on the list again.

Been thinking about a theme, I like the under £50 theme, however how about the tunes that define a collection, not the big tunes that everyone knows but odd items that show everyone what your collection is all about?

I've got 100's of in expensive sounds that i think are great.

But it's probably too long a description to put on a CD

Well I did say the other day that I'd abide by the majority, but I did have the ump at the time.

Given that one of us has no albums I am liking the idea of cheap 45s that sound a million dollars. My view is that £20.00 should be the value or even a tenner. That would then encompass my collection LOL.

£50.00 seems a bit wide and is imho still a lot of money for a 45 especially if you don't earn that much or have other commitments.

Ballistic soul on a budget!

Regards Alan

What about a "lucky dip". It would give an added surprise, when recieved. I would also remove pressure on specific requirements, such as LP only, detroit, etc...

John

As far as themes go....i`m liking the sound of "Budget records that sound like a million dollars"...gives everyone a chance and enables us to use a bit of imagination too....

Chris.

ps, Sean, I`ll miss Eddie too but he aint in yet...maybe you want to give him a nudge

Chris.

ps, Sean, I`ll miss Eddie too but he aint in yet...maybe you want to give him a nudge

Gotcha Chris. Will do.

So is that the title/theme then?

Sounds good to me!

So....... shall we get on wiv it? (assuming it includes LP tracks or whatever?)

Sean

Sean

Arrghh, if albums are in then some of my best stuff went on the last one I'm off down the charity shops.

Ok lets make a decision....the Theme will be "Budget tracks that sound a million dollars"

I`ll leave it to everyone to decide what they consider to be a budget track but i`d say they would have to be below 30 or 40 quid at least.....

Lps are included too and it does`nt have to be northern or 70s dancers, just good quality inexpensive soul music.

Still 5 places left which after the initial fuss is suprising to say the least! i`m sure we will fill the places so if you want to get on with it then do 30 CDs.....

chris lovethe budget sounding million dollars

right up my street for cheapies

great idea

hope we can go with this one

cheers sean

so my idea of records on yellow labels wasn't chosen

'Budget Soul sounding like a Million Dollars' is OK by me - I take it it can be in any format then (including CD )

oh and that doesn't mean you can put George Blackwell on because it came from a £10 compilation CD

30 x 20 = 600 tracks

whoa baby can't wait

Cheers

Steve

sounds good to me, think I'll set £10 for a 45 and £20 for an lp on mine.

Right, done mine now. Most are £10 according to JM's site, a couple are £15 - £20, so all should be £10 at the most.

Can I ask that nobody posts their track lists up as it spoils the fun of waiting for the CD to turn up and being pleacently surprised!
