Seeing as jt has locked his thread I would just like to say that having spoken to my brother Rob about this issue. He will come and post his reply on here in a couple of days time, other comittments prevent him from doing so at this moment time. Kev Thomas

Give me a PM when you want it reopenned Kev, as I said in the post, if there is something new to add let me know or a moderator and it'll be reopenned, seems sillty to keep going around in circles in the mean time...

Edited October 9, 200717 yr by James Trouble

Silly to go round and round in circles James??? Have you not been reading any of the other debates: Modern Vs Northern, Newies V Oldies, R&B vs well everyone it seems Going round in circles for years and years and years and....seems to be a speciality of ours, lol

Only just found this topic. I don't know if this is any use at this late stage, but I can confirm that Rob Thomas got the Willie Kendrick track from a friend of Willie's, who we both know, back in the mid nineties, and that he played it to me, along with some other unissued Pied Piper recordings that he got from a producer in New York, several years ago. As far as I am aware, he played it out yonks ago too. I tried to persuade him to let me release it on Hayley but he couldn't because he didn't know who officially owned it. I was under the impression that Ace/Kent have the release rights through their previous deal with RCA, but if this is true, don't understand why they don't issue it. Can anyone provide an answer? IMHO good records like this should be available to everyone.

Don't worry Rob they will be. It's down for Rare Collectible And Soulful Vol 3 and there are a lot of other great Detroit surprises on there too. We just wanted to build up some interest in the tracks first and this thread has at least helped that.

Ahh... so it's been one big marketing ploy...

Ahh... so it's been one big marketing ploy...

Unfortunately I'm not that bright!

Oh and my apologies to you Joan for saying the record/acetate concerned was The Cavaliers, you were right it was Willie Kendrick I'd got the message the previous night at Xfire and only odd bits of my brain were functioning.

Has turned into that by coincidence Joan,but i think it started out as EGO vs. EGO.It,s all so samey going back years and years ---D.J,S come and go--but the music will keep turning up --does it really matter who,s got bragging rights( i.e. --"i had it or played it first").

Just my humble opinion--but what do i know anyway!!!

Rob,

It would be interesting to know what format RT had this in when he played it you? Reel to Reel, Cassette, Acetate or Carver? I think this could well settle the whole debate (spat)

You're probably not far from the truth there Tony.

Rob Thomas didn't like me getting credit for making a tune popular/known about that he either had in his hands and recorded 10 year ago, or if you believe his story he has the master tape which he has sat on doing nothing with other than giving it to a few of his mates on tapes years ago. So he gives a copy of it to a DJ to play before my set. An ego thing, yes.

I am pissed off that he has "spiked" my set by giving a boot of it to a DJ to play before me and I react. An ego thing, yes.

Rob wanted to make sure everyone knows that he either had it in his hands 10 years ago or he has had master tape of it for 10 years, depending if you believe his story or not. He got that. An ego thing, yes.

I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Rob is giving out boots of it to DJs now, but I ask why he hasn't done it up till this point, and to make sure that people realise that I have the original RCA acetate of it and not a boot. I've got that. An ego thing, yes.

Ady wants a bit of hype for it for when it eventually gets it's release, he got that.

Everyone on this board loves to read about soul politics more than finding out about new tunes, and that's the truth, they got that.

So everyone's a winner

hi JT,couldn't help but put my bit in.

The "getting credit" for playing a tune has gone on since the scene began.If you're a nobody in a small club playing a top sound ,no-one takes notice...until its picked up on by a name dj.Then it becomes their sound.That's how its always worked.

Back to your spat ,what you should have done is played the acetate first up in your spot drawing attention to the fact that its the original acetate of better sound quality.LET THE MUSIC SPEAK FOR ITSELF .

Not too sure Ady wanted the hype in this form .

The thread you originally started ,ended up like a car crash ...everyone staring,wondering what's happening next...like a fight at school ,everyone egging them on,but not really wanting to get invovled.

Not all are more interested in politics, more than finding out about new tunes .

Vic and Bob used to say "you wouldn't let it lie",,maybe now's the time?,,KEV.

Perhaps you should publish a list on here of everything else you've got in your playbox to avoid the likelihood of any future occurances.

After all this and now its coming out on a KENT CD...

I feel used and dirty now by a marketing scam

As 'Kev Thomas' stated in his first thread here 'Rob' will be giving his side of the situation in the next couple of days as he has a 'right to reply' to this, so perhaps it best that we let 'Rob' speak and from that let's hope that there is a resolution and an end to this very sad sorry state of affairs, IMO it's just another negative situation that's dragging the scene down and is really something I feel that we can all do without.

Respect to all parties involved here but please try and put it to bed now.

You sure you aren't feeling a bit miffed over the fact that what you thought was a 'one off' exclusive to you... has turned out to be anything but...

Does anyone really give a flying f**k other than JT and Rob Thomas.

Would anyone have really been upset to hear the same record again, guessing its only 3 mins or so

That said I am just a collector and nothing todo with the scene and in comparison new to all this, but to be honest this sort of stuff doesn't make me particularly what to be. Is'nt it just about having a good night out to some quality music?

a hypothetical question for the troubleman: what if, all other circumstances in your tale being the same, the dj had played instead the well-known, cheap metros' version of the song (which to my ears isn't significantly worse than the willie kendrick)? what would your reaction to that have been? would a mid-spin needle lift have been in order??

hmm troubles playlists are quite rare too

Having now heard the WK version I feel the Metros is better, perhaps less interesting as its heard quite often, but definately better IMO.

I'm not even going to answer that Matt. It's a ridiculous question. A released version by the metros or a bootleg of the superior largely unknown one off acetate that the DJ coming on after has been pushing hard for a good few months? You're smarter than that Matt, and not that good at winding me up...

obviously i'm not THAT smart, as i've allowed myself to be drawn into this nonsense.

a record tip for you, though, james: metros, "time changes things" (rca)...you should be able to pick it up for around a tenner.

Bloody hell Paul, Steve McLaren?! Surely Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig or even Coventry's own Clive Owen would have been closer matches? And why do I get a starring role? I only came in at the end with one line of dialogue. That's a cameo at best but more like an extra!!

Yeah, but with a hotbox collection of 87 records you won't need something that can fit 1000s of tunes onto it - just plug your mobile in and use that - if you've got an iPhone you can probably play x-box or something at the same time. You'll be in heaven and won't notice your entire set being recorded ready for a carvin'.

Is it just me? But I don't understand the whole "carver" thing. If you don't have the original and just want to listen to the tune then what's wrong with having it on tape / CD/ mp3 etc etc?

In fact what's wrong with playing MP3's at do's? Collecting I understand and have done a little bit of collecting myself. but in a club the punters just want to hera the sounds mostly. If this attituide were adopted then more proficient DJ's (ie people who know how to DJ properly and perhaps do it professionally) would rise to the top thereby giving a more entertaining night to the paying punter. Rather than (nowadays) people who can afford to buy the latest pseudo inflated "must have" rarity.

Just my opinion.

Carver's are good for putting your edits onto - custom 45's of records that once had terrible guitar solo's destroying otherwise perfect records

btw in some respects I agree with the MP3 thing too, but i'm not about to get the can opener out on that one

Very good Simon.

A bit of light relief.

Blimey... weren't the late 80's musically shyt!

I'd like to see the same charts for '67.

Actually Rob, there is a striking resemblance!

Except that Rob would probably make a better football manager !! Best ,Eddie

Don't worry Rob they will be. It's down for Rare Collectible And Soulful Vol 3 and there are a lot of other great Detroit surprises on there too. We just wanted to build up some interest in the tracks first and this thread has at least helped that.

So will Ace/Kent be taking action if it is proved the someone has been booting your material.....

Bloody hell Paul, Steve McLaren?! Surely Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig or even Coventry's own Clive Owen would have been closer matches? And why do I get a starring role? I only came in at the end with one line of dialogue. That's a cameo at best but more like an extra!!

Your entry 67 mins into the flim with information on how Patrick aquired his copy 8/10 years previous is pivitol to the films plot,

I promise you it'll be one those iconic moments where people who miss it whilst haveing a #two will be constanlty asking their partner "do you get all of this?"

And btw you look nothing like Brad Pitt...

And BTW 2...Christopher Biggins has now agreed to play ACE/KENT supremo Adi Croasdale

Paul---that pic of Adey was obviously taken b4 he was deliourlsly (??) happy about finding "Getting To Me" in his lunch hour.

Nice one

It's not ours, it's RCA's.

And Biggins is probably more of a compliment than Billy Beaumont whose suave good looks have been compared to mine in the past.
