Also, bear in mind that there's a massive market who used to buy records that sampled these type of records. That type of hip hop has long gone, but the craving for those old sounds, by listeners not samplers, remains.<BR/><BR/>Nothing on my wants list of old 7s is available at Dusty Groove, but there's many a tempting old soul album there.<BR/><BR/>Brogues - you'll love the a-side, I'm Living A Lie, which is very pacey.

One thing I've noticed is young relatives of old soul singers posting comments on, for example, youtube saying how thrilled her aunt is that people are playing and loving the song she made in 1967...<BR/>Due to unscrupulous publishing deals, a lot of the artists would make no money if their work was re-issued. But recognition that you made something great that has stood the test of time and is making people happy today - that must be worth something.Fire Escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455091337934631425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-58101046749814025292008-05-23T08:40:00.000+01:002008-05-23T08:40:00.000+01:00That's a bloody great tune!

Back when I first got into soul, especially the rarer stuff, there's was absolutely no way I could have gotten hold of some of the things I can now. <BR/><BR/>All that stuff about downloading and torrents killing the music industry aside, the amount of rare and deleted music you can hear online is fantastic. There are songs getting a whole new audience (even if it's only a handful of blog readers in my case) that would never be heard again probably if record companies past history is anything to go on.<BR/><BR/>Lovely!Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.com
