exactly. another thing is with DJs who use a lot of acapellas (Terrence Parker, Louie Vega, etc). they'll lay an acapella over an instrumental and have some people thinking that what they are hearing (A an instrumental plus B an acapella laid over it) is C: a new record. this happens all the time with Vega, as people on the HOuse 2000 list will testify. plenty of "what was that track Vega played with the vocal that goes..." and then a few days later someone will figure out "oh yeah, that was the acapella from song X, he must have been playing it over something else cos I know there aren't new versions of it out, but he did it so well, i was *sure* it was a new version". TP told me in one of the interviews I did with him that trainspotters have asked him about records he "created" on the spot (with acapellas over instrumentals) and even bugged record stores for them (ie they're asking for records that don't exist!) because they hear a mix he's done and don't realize it's a "creation" of his, and not a new record. seeing tp here in halifax last year, i can see why this happens. andrew duke :)
