Yes, understand what you mean but the problem you have is trying to circumnavigate it getting taken down from Soundcloud etc. As soon as you post up the artist you get busted with a strike against you. At one point I had about 25 taken down just in one day that originally they let me post up over a number of months before hand. Soundcloud in particular got really strict. You’ll find nearly all the edits you come across on sites like Soundcloud are via people doing it just for fun and no money involved at all apart of course from the Joey Negro’s and Opolopo’s of the world. Some are awesome when you consider they are done by what you can term as just enthusiasts. Btw you don’t get paid by Soundcloud, hearthis.at etc. if you post up an edit. In fact it actually costs you if have a premium account on there. Also the companies pay nothing to the artists as in effect they don’t want re edits on there as they could end up liable. The way sort of around this is some allow you to post up under a Creative Commons licence which is basically you agreeing it’s not for profit. And as you’re not paying for the stream the host site also makes nothing so no royalties to share out.

No money in releasing Music anymore to be honest. An artist would be lucky if they get 10p per download if with a label and 0.001p for a stream. Can you imagine splitting that if it’s a band 😬 The money for the one doing the edit is getting paid for Dj spots. If a major label is releasing they normally get a flat fee (eg £250/£500/£1,000) for the re edit. It’s also the kudos of getting it out there.

What era Benji? Aretha Franklin? Nicole C Mullen?

Hi Does anyone have a copy of this cheapie for sale in the UK at all? US post charges make it not so cheapie 😁

https://www.iziphosoul.com/mark-johnson---daydream-out-8-may-97-p.asp Pre order went up yesterday, and yes I did pre order 😁

Didn’t realise had been released on vinyl 🤷🏼‍♂️ Loved the film 🎥

Is this out on vinyl single?? Doh just see album track 😆

One of the best tracks released in the last few years 👍

Personally prefer this to Janice also prefer the Lp version to 7”. RIP Skip

Peabo Bryson – Why Don’t You Make Up Your Mind out for first time on 7” from Expansion

Used to be OVO 60s only when younger but with age comes wisdom 🤣 If it’s MP3 only now days so be it 👍

Same could be said of a ripped copy, that it’s the same noise, but this way the artist is receiving something for their efforts and Shufflin gets his cd which makes him happy. If we don’t support the artists there will be no new soul music simple as and that would be a crying shame, there still is a lot of good new music out there 👍

In reality that’s not a lot when you factor in costs of artists time, talent, mastering, production, artwork etc. on a very small run. Via iTunes etc. The artist would be lucky to get 50p out of a 99p download and 0.001p from streaming sites 😮

Have dealt with Modboy1 before on eBay, top lad 👍

Doesn’t say so 🤷‍♂️ Good tune but this unlimited “limited” release nonsense is getting tedious 🙄

From the Acid Jazz website BACK ON PRE-ORDER WITH STOCK ARRIVING LATE FEB

Digital age has killed any chance of making a living as a singer/musician. Even mega stars like Peter Frampton complaining about receiving only 0.001 cent from every play on Spotify etc.

Wow that Black Day Light track sounds the business 👍
