Apologies because I'm sure this has been done before but how much should it cost approx to send a CD from USA to UK ? Thanks

ha ha yes I know what you mean. An absolute pleasure talking to him, only got to meet him in recent years when he came to DJ at Solid Hit. Everytime I phoned him to ask him to guest for us his appreciation was such that it seemed I was doing HIM a favour when of course it was the total opposite. Always filled the dancefloor as well with top quality rarities & certainly not top 500. A wonderful character & a total gentleman.

To be honest Steve i don't think the post detracts from the photo at all. I think we can all get a bit anal about cutting bits out, if it was a litter bin in the background I could understand but the post is just part of the natural background to me. Guess we all have our own ideas & that's the way it should be Great photo's by the way

Don't think I've ever bought something that I already had, my problem is when I'm out & hearing even obvious oldies & can't for the life of me think what it is &/or hearing something I've had in my collection for years & can't think what it is. If I carry on like this I can relive my youth as they'll all be newies. might even buy some baggies .....baggy shorts anyway

Haha exactly i've just wriiten something very similar in my post above

We couldn't be bothered really Len, I think Des mentioned it once but the thing with the change was one reason not to, the fact that people will spend xxx amount on a record & then complain about an extra quid or two on admission price was another & we weren't losing money so we just left it. Haha yes a financial advisor may have had kittens. I always used to put a sign on the door "members only" so when drunken suits used to come down I would ask if they were members & obviously they weren't as we didn't have membership (though that didn't stop the occasional one say yes but I've left my membership card at home )but occasionally they would ask if they could pay extra to get in ...... it never worked as it was never about clawing every pound we could. In fact if i knew that someone had travelled a fair distance I would let them in for nothing as a thanks. No I'll never be rich

When we started Solid Hit we charged £5 on the door, 11 years later when we finished it was still a fiver. guest DJs always got paid & in my opinion they were paid very well for a soul night, in fact probably more than at some allniters. That said we always tried to bring in quality DJs from around the country & were worth every penny & after expenses to London i'm sure many got home with just a few quid left. I like to think that with one exception (when we were between venues & rightly or wrongly trying to keep our name in the mix) we always had decent venues with good quality sound systems apart from the first couple at Kings Cross when we used the in house shite system that soon changed. If we were losing money on the night we wouldn't have kept going, mind you we didn't make any either. any profits were put back such as having Pat Lewis & Ronnie Walker live. Trouble is nowadays, especially in London, most functions rooms have disappeared to be renovated & turned into empty restaurants & cocktail bars & it gets harder & harder to find decent venues in a good location. Excuse my ramble

Thanks Steve

Thanks Steve, I don't know if I've got this right or not. When I right click on a photo, go into properties, details & then in origin it's got author - My name Date taken etc & at the bottom Copyright - My name. Is there anything else we can add anywhere or is that it ? Many Thanks Dave

Ok i don't use photoshop so wouldn't know how quickly a signature could be removed, it's only what i'd read although if it was worthwhile I guess "bandits" wouldn't worry about how long it took ? Ah yes of course the EXIF data, I have my name in there as copyright. Thanks for the info

i have no idea if there is any sort of fee involved or precisely what the make up is but 500px seems to be used by a lot of people ? On a slightly connected theme, do people who display photos watermark/copyright them ? Apparently photoshop can remove watermarks in seconds (or so I've read) Not that I think that i have much/anything that people may want to "steal" but what other options are there to protect your pics ?

Haha surprised you had that going on in your mind Pete

& rightly so, a great record & a good price ........... or is it just the Jimmy Astor release that goes for more ?

Yes a pressing fault, I thought it was all copies but obviously not. I was sent a copy once "on approval" & the fault is slight but noticeable. I don't know maybe if you played it out people wouldn't notice but I knew it was there so it went back shame cause i love it !

He has Ray, it's on the line underneath

A great record & i actually thought around £100 these days If Pete says £75 than i'm inclined to believe that I'm right
