  2. Classic Stafford......an allnighter sound of quality........was it Guy who played this first..?....i snaffled mine soon after...i remember mint copies turned up at the time (85/86)........is Les-Stan a Texas label..?..Paul Kelly involvement...i suspect that the copies which turn up now are mostly out of collections.......unlike you to sell too cheap Tony..... :shades:

    We all make mistakes Jim, always a pleasure to see you, hope you're keep well.

  3. you mentioned this to me but nothing could of prepared me :lol: :lol: :thumbup:

    Lets put it another way Tony, what if your'e just offered, or hit upon this fantastic track on an authentic looking dub plate, you think its amazing, but discover its origin and its been doctored in someway or other.Do you continue to play it? shades of Ginger and the four vandals affair here, but surely to quote mr Gordy, its whats in the ................

    Having had the privilege to read some of Berry Gordy's hand written notes on a demo, it surely is what's in the groove that counts and judging by his notes he really did look at the production from every angle and if it wasn't good enough he didn't put it out. Obviously there was quite a lot of unreleased Motown that should have been released, but if it had have been would it have made it commercially? That's another story.

    I heard a radio interview with Ginger and the story behind the Four Vandals and I really didn't blame his actions towards a certain producer, enough said.

    Like have said there are thousands of brilliant 45's why would you want to waste your time experimenting!

    Is it ever acceptablee to play a re- edit or re- production at a night/ nighter? Just say you had a fantastic acetate of master recording of some lost 6ts, or 7ts recording, but it just wasnt finished, it didnt have a bassline, drums, or needed an organ to fill out ther sound or maybe a terrible phyc guitar solo in the middle . Just say you had a working knowledge of music production, pro tools. ect. Would you use your skills to complete the track, cut it onto acetate and play it out? Obviously there are loads of variations on this theme, which I'm sure you'll identitfy!

    Why would you want to, there's plenty of really great tunes out there, without re-editing and mixing anything.

    If it wasn't finished off in the studio, there was probably a very good reason, because it wasn't good enough for release and public performance in the first place.

    I agree with Russ, it's a can of worms and I doubt the artist would see a penny, not unless you are truthfully are going to do it under licence from the record company etc :g:

    Cut it onto acetate and play it out :pirate:???? Sounds a bit like another thread on here :no:

  7. Thank you Tony for inviting myself to play a few tunes for you all. I've got to apologise for playing the Magnificent 7 for the second time in the night. As we got a bit lost getting there we arrived a tad late so had missed your spot and didn't know you had already played it,

    Repeating records in one night is one of my top hates on the scene as the people who know me will know.

    So please forgive me??

    Otis Leavill---Gotta right to cry---Lucky

    Districs---One lover---Nile

    Bobby Smith---Girl---C/U

    Bobby blues ray---Soul---Sac-soul city

    Mystiques---Put out the fire---Twinight
