<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote> I think I would find out a ton more by just asking around. Soulstrut is not casual. But of course I understand the frivololity of it all. Makes me think about getting to sleep rioght now. Good luck in the near biker's dew time. </blockquote> Where are you from? I think there might be something lost in the translation adn maybe that's why people thing you're condescending. Myself, I'm too laid back to let words seriously affect my state of being. There's not too many dudes out there more into to Clive's stuff more than myself (other than a couple hard core 50-ish calypso collectors). Why don't you think Soulstrut is casual? You asked about a musician and I was more than willing to spill my guts on what little I know. If you hang around, like I have for 6 odd years now, I'm sure you'll be humbled by the genrosity of my pals. Kevin in Canada. </blockquote> Ok, I'm a Western Europeaner. I often think anything that is rare and nice is not being mentioned on soulstrut. And I think that some of the best music has to be preserved carefully. Not just for a gig with a DJ or for sampling, but for anyone that wants to listen to it. For music like library and latin/caribbean it's impossible to get to know the best records without spending a fortune and hunting records for years. I really appreciate your effort, Clive Bradley is one of the artists I just think it would be nice to hear more often. Wether it's me or somebody else that collects and spins the records, it would not affect my state of being. I thought you were going to play hide and seek, sorry. I feel a bit irritated about people never shedding a light on anything I find exciting to hear. I have to get over that, I think I did so in the last hours. I'm having a good mood again. I'll have another look at these rare finds of yours, they're quite nice. I'm also a bit jealous about the fact that in the US there's more into record stores than over here in Amsterdam. </blockquote> There is a balance for me in that I am a seller digging in areas where knowledge is often not readily available, so knowing how a record sounds early can be to your advantage (in obtaining further copies for sale at cheap prices). I remember buying Frankie Zhivago Young's and Earth Roots and Water's for $30- by the handful, and now those are $800 45's and a $2-300 LP respectively. You asked me about a specific artist which I'm extremely interested in, so I felt obligated to answer. Easy, K. P.S. I live in Toronto and not the States.
