There was an excellent version of "Baby I'm Scared Of You" by Corinna Joseph on an Offcentre / Patrick Forge compiliation a few years back.

One more thing to be thrown into this particular Room 101...

Quiet Village 'Silent Movie'
aka the balearic 'Endtroducing' or the coffee table 'Avalanches'

Listen to, say, Sister Sledge's "You're a friend to me" or Alan Parsons Project "Voyager" and then play the album - despite the credits claiming that QV wrote and prodcued the material themselves these are no more than remixes masquerading as original songs.

and the Linkwood 10" that uses Minnie Riperton as the basis for the whole track **

This , however , is how a lot of early house tracks were made though - disco samples a plenty

Christ we have gone full circle again.

We will be discussing the merits of cover versions next





** I do like it though


To tell you the truth I am all for Endtroducing , Silient Movie , the Avalanches as albums , the klf 'Chill Out' as well - as long as the samples are made clear on the linear notes so peeps can check out the originals. After playing the Quiet Village album non-stop it made me did out my Sister Sledge album for 'You're a friend to me' and I even stuck it in a podcast of mine last year

Yeah remember that podcast dave

I'm not aware of the originals so it hit me sideways when I realised how little quiet villiage had actually done to it when I heard your mix

I thought it was an original production by em

Remember finding a thread on djhistory soon after that had the beards identifying all the samples from each tune. Total geek respect due on that one

aye... A-level philosophy, remember it well.

The sample notes for the Avalanches album went on for aaaaaaages, loads of the frockers!
Ace album though.

And belatedly - btw anybody think that Quiet Village aren't really all that, and have been hyped to fuck????

Tape, splicing block, sharp knife = edit.

Isn't this really where the original term in sound engineering originates from? So, I can conclude that an edit is, as already mentioned, an original recording, edited, but with nothing added.

I don't know what a re-edit is.

I'm sure I got sent that 12, it was a white label with hand pressed info on it. I think it was Corinna with Michael Watford, and was none too shabby

You need to stay in more

Or get digging...

What makes me is when just a couple of the samples are listed but the 100s of others are not.

Who are they kidding?

They generally note only the samples they've cleared.

Sssshhhh - the sample police are listening

here's a sample (ish) questions for you:

On Carl 'Sherlock' Holmes 'Your Game' from the 'Investigation No 1' LP - the break at about 3 minutes in is clearly from Marvin's 'What's Going On'. But what is going on?

Did Marvin nick it from Carl or vice versa? Anyone know?
