Well thanks for bringing to my attention. I'll be on to Bomar today to get something done. Skip was an absolute gem when I met him with Scott a few years ago, and played on so many great records. It's a shame to hear that he's in a bad way. D

It's a bit of design. We're just trying to make the releases look a little more interesting, and tactile despite them obviously just being in standard plastic jewell cases for these releases.

I think what needs to be pointed out is that there was a big funk scene in London in the mid to late 80s, but it was always straight funk mixed up with all sorts of great black music from through the ages. So you would here heavy James Brown, Mickey…

As ever - well the twice I've been here - Memphis rocks! Great to meet Andrew and Brian. Great to hook up with a bunch of Memphis friends from before like Chad from Memphix. William Bell was amazing - as he always is. Barbara Lynn last night was eve…

The interesting thing about this is that there are definately copies around. I bought mine from Soul Jazz in 1990, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there only copy. Gerald also has a copy - in fact Gerald was the one who tipped me off that it was a bit…

Dante just a point on escrow. Escrow is named after the untouchable account into which monies owed to an untraceable person can be placed. However this is no legal defence for putting out a track that you haven't traced the owner for. The monies yo…

Look Soul Jazz sort people out - just ask ESG for instance. Also sometimes you will license something and the artist will not know about it. If for instance I license a Marva Whitney track from Universal there is no way that they will tell her that …

Sorry I don't seem to have made myself clear. The only way to do it is to pay royalties to the legal rights owner. But sometimes this isn't clear, and sometimes as in the example above (my one) it goes wrong. It's better to be Soul Jazz than Goldmin…
