if you imagine that on a 2000 run of a record people might do 100 promos, that means they have to sort out the worlds distributors, shops, and prominent djs, and even that may not make a blind bit of difference to sales.

people sending out promos need to know that they'll get individually idinetified to either people who make descisions to buy multiple hundreds for a given territory, or will play them to hundreds if not thousands of people, and chart them on every website, forum, chart list, radio station, magazine, toilet wall, every-****-where to make a difference. if not, its really not worth my investment in the plastic.

playing at some night i've never heard of doesnt really stand out.
bless you for your residency, but look at it from my point of view...
who the **** are you and how will you help the record i am in charge of selling as many as possible of sell even more?

dont think i'm cussing you, at least you're asking how to go about it rather than trying to blag etc

but if you tried it from where you are now you'd be ignored as a free record blagger, and that can weaken the scene in itself

sorry if thats harsh, but its true. and is not a dis to doc12, but its a pointer for anyone else trying to aquire about free-bees.

no probs mate i totally understand.
it was just a general question anyhow. i read your pm and i see your point.

Thanks everyone for the tips and hints.

good job im popping down three shades 2mora (yey) gonna stock up on some nice techno.


and to be fair i cant really see people going 'oh shit doc12inch is playing that record ill go buy that'

well not at the moment anyways :lol:
Three Shades is wicked what a fantastic record store the staff there are all friendly as - im off to there in about 30 mins or so

Anyway would I qualify for a mailing list being that I write for 4 magazines every issue (bubble Jam delite, twenty4-seven, ttr magazine and COLIN magazine), a multitude of websites, email my chart and reviews out to 1000 people each week, review around 90% of what I am sent, always return reactions on time and play at free parties....

just wondering...
