There is a seperate thread about Anglos connoisseur soul packs going tho, unsurprisingly, not as lenghthy as this. Not by a long chalk.

I have a mate who bought one from Tim a few years back and had no complaints. There were enough decent tunes in there to get to the £300 price tag with no bother and most didnt look like they had seen a needle he said. However, as the FCA always tells us, 'past performance is no gurantee on future returns' so dont hold me to this he he. My mate has a collection of 4/5000 ish soul tunes mainly under £2/300 items with a few biggies and is a knowledgable chap when it comes to northern 45s.

Perhaps I can sum up - his complaint is that he was oversold with a load of hype and got delivered a load of tripe. The classic say anything to get the money then send any old shit, he seems to feel. I did toy with the idea of buying a few grands worth from him a year or two back as stock for my discogs shop but didnt due to the fear of this kind of thing happening. Just end up with loads of tut you cant ever shift. For under a grand you could have some custom made wallpaper to look like there are shelves and piles of records on the wall. This would seem less pointless than buying 1000 tunes most of which are dross.

As a marker of what goes on outside this bubble with a name at least some on here might know. I had a conversation with a guy who claimed to work for Kenny Dope's management agency. This guy wanted £10k for Kenny to show up and seemed to think it a reasonable request and in line with "the market". A choking on my pint type scenario followed.

He he - akin to Sam et al I guess but in 'ravy' scenes.

We had similar experiences. On an outlay of a few grand over a year (we had 5 events) and I barely got my money back but was expecting that for a start up. Our venue got closed down when the pub above changed hands and our dream venue got used as a store room for tables and chairs. People who ran the venue had 14 years of hard graft wiped out at a stroke so I couldnt really grumble about our wasted year. Our music policy was wider than northern and its related genres. Hardest thing in London is to find a decent venue not good quality people to play records and the fiscal issues that brings.

It appears that these days even in this climate kids on that scene expect ticket prices like that. Ive been a few techno related parties over the last few years and where in the past id usually get in free (im way out of that loop these days) ive had to go for the early bird tickets I wonder how much it costs to get Robert Hood or Derrick May or Semtex to DJ these days. Footballers wages Im guessing. Price point is what people are prepared to pay I guess but with those kind of parties raves events whatever you want to call them there is a high risk to reward ratio.

No, you have to put your hand in your pocket. Simple as that. Sadly there is no free way of doing this unless you do swaps or someone else pays for them. Its part of promoting. There are enough solid record collectors our there to find interesting people with interesting records who can DJ

half that

Depends who you want to get over I suppose. The answer usually is your own pocket if its a well known face and hope to get it back through door sales. Sometimes venues will stump up the cash for you ive found. I have run various DJ events over the last 20+ years mostly small and always found set swaps are a good idea so no money changes hands and both parties get to spin at a new or different place. This is my favourite method aside from paying in records. Also used to do simple splits say if the DJ was from same town as us (London) ie we all split the door fees after costs. Sometimes people dont get paid but then we all dont get paid, which is easier to take for all concerned. We have mainly hired other collector / DJs whos tunes we like or styles we repsect and know from buying and selling records. This is simpler in my view.

yes sounds of universe is poor and they are pretty arrogant / rude in my experience. servers think a little too much of themselves. soul brother on the other hand are proper. used to live in putney its very nice. if the poster wants to sell it to his missus threres lovely walks by the river

and they are still clueless enough to miss zeros off things. does the notting hill one still had a large funk and soul 7s section upstairs?

there was a time when they were going for 30 / 40 quid only 3 or so years back
