been to a few anniversary events recently and been given a free c.d.friends have asked for a copy of the mentioned c.d. .i know this has been posted up before but does anyone(promoters, djs.etc.) have any objection to this .obviously no financial gain would result

i'd openly encourage people to copy ours and let all their friends listen

We gave a free CD at our last Dukes Head in Kings Lynn....no problems if anybody wants to copy for a friend...after all, once it's yours you're free to do what you like with it.

I just look at as publicity for our events!

Who are these People?..... Name, Names??..... we NEED to know who is giving away OUR soul Music on this EVIL format!!..

Do these people not realise that the original artists recieve Nothing in way of financial gain from this, do they even have the first idea about the hours and hours of blood, sweat and tears these artists went through to record these tracks...... only for some promoter type to give them away FREE to the 'first 50 people through the door' just for some advertising gimick!!...

Next thing you know they will start giving away plastic Soul patches as well, meaning thousands of embroideres who toil late into the night in ghetto sweatshops sewing little Owls on bits of cloth - will be thrown onto the streets and their children put into the Workhouse!..

So!, next time you hand over you '£5 on the Door' and the guy/girl says "would like your free CD?", Just say "No thanks!, I'm keeping it real!, I'm keeping it Vinyl".... (Said Vinyl must be original and in Mint condition, ie no boots, Pressings, issue's or carvers)

Eat the Cake...

quality mate ! love it,please send all your free venue cds to me and i promise i will cherish them

at the end of the day if we get a free cd of music fine, but if we want to copy for a friend do so might be there way to get into some of the music

More Knowledge makes for better punters.

i'd openly encourage people to copy ours and let all their friends listen

agree with you there davie spread the faith.....

As far as Nothern Soul tracks are concerned, I dont think any vinyl, cd, mp3, or any other reproduced format has generated any money for any of the artists other than a pitance.

On the other hand when these artists who are still alive and are lucky enough to get brought over to perform in front of a few 000 fans, it must make it almost worthwhile for them.

How much did Frank Wilson get for 'soul survivors 1 cd' ? not much, I guess.

Free distribution of the music at least 'spreads the word' and might just generate enough interest to get a promoter/dealer to search the artist out and bring them over here, as has been the case for the last 30 years or so.

That's not true there are quite a few artists who get much more than a pitance when their work is re-released legally and under contract. Ace / Kent are sending out substantial cheques every week to artists, label owners and songwriters. We obviously bring artists over too, there's no reason why they shouldn't get their dues in more than one way.

As for free CDs from the venues, that's a personal matter for the promoters and has a lot to be said for and against it.

No prob,s in this camp, just like the old days when doing a cassatte tape, cant see anything wrong with recieving goodies.... no cash changing hands And just for playing at home , or in the car, etc. nothing wrong. SO LONG as one dos,nt dj out with them, that is......... most of the time the quality is,nt top notch anyway.... martyn

i`d openly encourage anyone to copy any Cd I`d done for them, either personally or as part of a venue promotion. As was mentioned earlier wider knowledge of tunes equals more knowledgeable punters asking for different requests equals moving the scene along one more notch....

you need to get out more mate. Unlikely that many artists recieve money or a very nominal amount, good promotion for the scene and for the artists too as people may look for other material by said artists and thus the soul scene develops and groes, think positive you'll feel better in yourself.

"you need to get out more mate"

And you need to get your 'Sense of Humour bypass operation' reversed!....
