All of mine went in the post today... so hopefully they should land on UK doormats before Christmas... and foreign climes before the New Year.

Hi all, mine is slightly delayed due to problems with the recordings. Now done with a portable Numark and my laptop so sound quality is not the best but decent. Will try to get them all out early next week so will miss the Christmas deadline but arrive soon after.

Regards, Karl

Hi folks - I received 4 this week so that makes 18 in total.

All in perfect nick - some nice tunes on there.

Thanks to all involved

Zane

Hiya Guys & Joan.

Some great stuff dropping on my door mat

I THINK CREDIT CRUNCH, the only thing expanding more than my wants list is my waist band

GREAT STUFF ONCE AGAIN!

My CD, should have made it's way to you all, with the possible exceptions of our Foreign Imports.............. Who will have it very shortly.

BEST

Bully

P.S. If anyone wants to know any details about any tracks on mine, just PM me!

Bully,

Your cd doesn't work in any of my CD players - is it an audio disc - or should I stick it in the pc?

I'm joining some of the others in the naughty corner....got all the CDs burnt but was hoping to treat myself to a new printer with a CD print tray and then make all the CDs look pretty! But thats not going to happen for a little while now so you'll all have to put up with plain CDs and my poor handwriting on them!

Will get them in the post between Christmas and the New Year. Big thanks to everyone who has already sent theirs out...some great stuff .

Adam.

Guys, I said i`d be late with mine right from the start. I should be doing the master tomorrow and getting them in the post some time this week.

I have really enjoyed the few i have played so far..got the others all lined up ready for a spin soon.

Sorry, i wont be producing any fancy artwork...hope some quality tunes make up for the lack of presentation!

Cheers, Chris

Due to an unexpected family bereavement I haven't had a chance of completing the CD.

But should be done and posted out by early new year.

Not had a chance to listen to all I've recieved so apologies in advance if I duplicate any tracks.

Got it Tony, many thanks...

I assume you got that extra one from earlier in the year? it had no listing, so if there is anything you don't already know drop us a line..

Dont know how many I have now but must be 5 - 10 out..

mal

I did Mal, thanks. Should have said ta!

Sent you a PM.

Hopefully mine have landed now?

Everybody got 'em now?

Didya didya?

Has anyone been keeping count?

Was thinking of doing a review too - is that OK?

Along the lines of:

No 1 tune (or 5)

Best CD (or three)

Records bought after hearing on CDs

Records added to wants list but no realistic chance of ever getting

I think a review is a great idea Paul. I had thought of compiling a 'Best of CD' with my favourite tracks from all the CDs I received, Cheers, Ady

Guys,

I'm cool with records on the wantslist or bought..., but I'm not a big fan of marking the CD's.

The CD's in the swaps are an expression of that persons taste. If you start saying ones better than another, that may put people off participating in future swaps. It potentially could lead future swappers just trying to outdo each other, putting on ultra rare tunes looking for gratification.

Just my thoughts.

I agree.

If you find a tune that hits the spot - pm the compiler of the cd and tell them

as anybody had either of the foreign exports yet.

with reference to reviews, for me, this has been my favorite swap yet.

been a real pleasure, so many thanks to all who contributed, cheers

No, I didn't mean marking them. As you say, there are loads of different types of track on the CDs, I was just going to do a personal 2 or 3 favorites and make it a positive post as I've enjoyed listening to everything I've received even if some things weren't to my taste.

Maybe it would turn in to a ranking exercise though and that wouldn't be good. I'll post something up later today when I've had a look through them again and maybe listened to a few again .... another day gone

Only sent one abroad to Sweden. Have I missed someone out ?? Not Received any from abroad yet by the way

Guess I'll lose marks for the typos & the fact that one track is misssing....

Steve

Right then a few comments:

Best track (IMHO): Willie Tee - Take Your Time

Hadn't heard it before and it is just superb. Also got the Jo wallace seal of approval

Records bought after hearing them on the CDs:

The Gambrells - I'm In Love Again For The First Time - Cub

Sounds like an expensive record but isn't! One of those "if this was rare .... " tracks

Sunny Carrington - The Girl Every Guy Should Know - Deep

Never heard of this before but it leapt into my ears shouting "Buy Me! Buy Me!" Thought it was going to be expensive but got one for $22.99 including postage.

Robert Thomas - Salvation - Charay

On a couple of CDs and really good (and missed the Cresa Watson version on ebay the other day too - drat! But it did go for what looked like a silly amount for a VG record)

James Kelly Duhon - In School - Jude

Again, on a couple of CDs and really stood out

The True Tones - He's Got The Nerve - Josie

Sounds like a proper oldie (whatever that is) - a doubtful bit of guitar in the middle but a great dancer

Carolyn Cooke - I Don't Mind - RCA

After hearing this and going looking for it, I saw that it is getting plays around the place too. Just pipped by Willie Tee as best track I hadn't heard before.

Wants list:

Keeping this to myself until I find them

Only one bought so far on the back of hearing it on a cd - Malcolm Dodds - Come See The Sun

Loads more wants but it takes a lot of time to get through that many cd's and absorb it all - lots to look forward to still. Thanks everyone

I received my Cd from Karl in Sweden yesterday...very nice too. Nothing from the States but i cant remember sending one their either!

Everyone should have mine now...shout up if i you haven`t received it.

Paul, Three of your faves were from my CD...know what you mean about that Sunny Carrington tune and the Carolyn Cooke sounds so good these days.

I think Ady Pountains CD has been my fave so far but i still have a stack that i haven`t played yet.

Cheers, Chris.

alan

Alan, Sorry about that mate, do us a favour and PM me your address again and I`ll get one out to you asap.

Cheers, Chris

I tend to agree with John on fav's and marking as so many different styles and choices and might put some peeps off.

I've bought a few on the back of the swaps and also loads on the wants list.!!!! Some I know I'll never get and some tracks I've re-discovered on b/sides and LP's .(Brothers By Choice & Rick James 2 of top of my head).

Thanks to all that participated. Bit of a mellow mood on when I compiled mine.

Marcus

btw Sent one to the States but not got one back yet from DJ Bywell .

Unfortunately the odd CD and track list have got mixed up before I started writing names on them

Can someone please tell me who put the CD together that starts with "Sonny & Dianne - Love Trap" and finishes with "Alton Jackson & Larry Bailey - Believe In Me"?

Thanks

Paul

are we ready for another swap yet

anybody with a theme in mind

alan

I`d say it was too soon...traditionally we have done a swap in May and November, keping it to 2 a year has kept it fresh and given folks time to get new stuff in etc, then again if the majority want to do it who am i to say otherwise!?

I know DJ Bywell from LA, he is a top guy (and that is his real name, not just a record collecting sudenim!). Originally from Leeds but now living in California Dave is a top bloke, Must admit i did`nt send him a CD as i didn`t have him on my list but as soon as i get his i`ll drop him one in the post!

Cheers, Chris

mal

alan

I will do another if thats what the majority want but i`m against it, its just too soon. I have`nt played all of the last lot of Cds yet!

Keeping this to myself until I find them

Me and PTP got hours of listening pleasure from the CD swop....I got all the benefits without having to participate. I would but I can't afford the CDs at the moment - being on the rock and roll has it's downside But I got the True Tones and Gambrells and I'm a very happy bunny

i've started thinking what to put on, and i think i may do a double this time (not saying others should)

a 60's/ northern one , and a modern/ deep soul one

was never a collector of modern or deep soul, but since the CD swaps i've started to get into it more, and more. don't want to embarrass my self, so i'll try and put a bit of thought in to it, but i will be limited

so it depends on a theme.

maybe it should be credit crunchers,...... cheapies, album cuts and whatever' in the box.

To be honest Alan, not sure how many I've received 15? It is a little annoying, people don't always want to mail out to the U.S. but i'm "over it" Plus i think there were quite a that didn't get my address ( i was pretty late being added to the list).
