Right Track - Wishing On A Star & Destination Unlimited

Everyone seems to be missing the point on this. Whether the Four Vandals was, a real record, singer, (Steve Bernstein) or real musicians were used is not the issue. Whether people liked, disliked or knew all along that it was not legit is also of no consequence, I was not my intention to re open this well worn topic I used the FVs as an example of how the scene was and, can be manipulated. As pointed by Geeselad, Richard Searling played this on his Sunday radio show additionally a well known Dj parted with a large sum of cash to own the record. The fact that people were mis led is undeniable. The AIGs being posted at the moment are pretty crude,although some are some better than others. They will inevitibly get much, much better, in the hands of a skilled sound engineer,and introduction of orchestral backing etc they will be indistinguishable from the real thing. Cut to vinyl, and placed into a box at a US record fair (as an example) in very similar to the way that the FVs was fed into the scene, hey presto, Sallys your uncle & Bobs your Aunt. If you tell me I've got that the wrong way round see the AIG video, its the one after the dog flying a plane ! Impossible ?, they won't fool me ? I'd like to think that I'm in that camp,but, If Elton John and Paul Mcartney think AI might be problamatic for the wider music scene, then I'll air on the side of caution.

Four Vandals - fooled a few people for a while

Believe me they are just testing the water at the moment, they will add whatever defect you require, rice crispies, cue burn, off centre, no problem sir The quality of the product will become much better, it will be impossible to distinguish between a genuine new discovery and that which is A I generated. The saving grace could be , in the tech world mass availabilty is key to sucess, whereas, exclusivity is an integral component of the soul scene.

Several previous A I topics have been discussed on SS, but for those that haven't yet seen it, take a look at this on you tube https://www.youtube.com/@HilariouslyRealMusic 234 videos posted in the last 28 days, not one of them real. Just waiting for the first one off vinyl 45 to surface somewhere in Chicago Four Vandals all over again ?

Firstly, Teds well being and safety are the most important thing here, as such I send Ted my best wishes and a speedy recovery from what must have been an horrendous experience. The worrying thing about this incident is that whichever angle you look at it from, it all leads back to someone who, knows the scene & knows Ted's collection. I doubt very much that it was organised yesterday at the gig but more than likely planned over a few weeks, therefore I think the perpetrator or perpetrators, know exactly where and how to move them on. The risks taken in obtaining the records would surely indicate that the motive is for financial gain. Although anyone with an understanding of the scene must know they cant be sold as a collection in an open market. If they are going into a private collection what's the point ? they can never be shown to anyone and they cant be played out. The idea mooted by a previous poster about offering a reward for "safe return" is all well and good but it puts every collection and Dj in the country in jeopardy. I know there is never ever such thing as a victimless crime, but it really takes a special kind of low life to steal or harm someone from your own community and I hope that they are caught quickly and dealt with severely.
