I can clarify some points
some french people have bootleged a record
with good girls and stevie knows on it (with also 2
others d.may hot tracks on it)
that sucks for the artists if the originals are still in print... what
were the other tracks? And didn't Designer Music vol. 1 get re-issued
awhile back anyway? OR am I crazy but I thought it did.
Good girlz and stevie knows are not part of Designer Music vol. 1,
because carl craig didn't pay the royalties to the good men (sample from give
it up) : so
good girlz was already a kind of bootleg !
As far as I know, carl says he has lost the tape/dat so they wouldn't be
re-issued;
only derrick/juan play this record. And the other tracks are old house records
fom the 80's
on dead labels so they will never be repressed for 500 guys or less wanting
this record.
Like there's that bootleg of detroit classics I saw in the shop, and I
thought most or all of those tracks are still very much in print on
transmat, metroplex, etc. I don't understand why someone would buy it
given you could get the official 12 for $6 or so, better mastering,
supporting the original label, etc.
As it's not repressed i thought I could never put my hands on it, so i bought
it.
I will NEVER, NEVER buy a bootleg of metroplex, UR, transmat ... because I know
these labels (i love) are still alive. But this one is a bootleg of a bootleg
so.
Strangely enough Dept. -- There's also a bootleg of that cover
terrible version of Knights of The Jaguar floating around with 3 other
random tracks on it (one of them by James Brown). Why the hell anyone
would want the Sony version of Jaguar baffles me, on a crappy bootleg no
less. I forgot the name of the boot, it's something like About Time
vol. 2 or something like that. Full disclosure: I'm not POSITIVE it
was the Sony version, but it sure as hell wasn't the Rolando version on
UR, it was terrible. But it was definitely trying to recreate the exact
song with different-yet-similar percussion, synths and melodies.
According to the man who sold it to me (for 35 $), juan
and derrick (whom this record was given to)
have said that the sound is better than the original.
Of course a salesman is going to tell you whatever he has to get you to
buy a bootleg for $35... I would tend to doubt it... the artists are
going to have the masters afterall, not the bootlegger. :P But I guess
anyone can cut a record louder if that's what you mean.
Not louder but remastered.
peace

mix bootleg of midnight express chase with donna summer i fell love ?
