good or bad move ?

[acidpisar]

I'm not sure if i should be happy or i should cry ??!!

I'm not a big fan of doing represses of very old stuff...sometimes when something is hard to find is better.It is not overplayed at parties.

But the most strange thing for me is that french label is doing represses of one of the best label in UK history

[Athar]

i hate represses to be honest

there is any reasons to be a vinyl collector anymore if some of my best tracks are just repressings ?

piss poor immersion needs to sort his head out.

I`m with you guys on the repress thing, its good to have a great selection of tunes that many others might not have been able to get their paws on, however it can only mean good things for acid techno because of the kids who are just getting into the scene, an hearing these tunes for the 1st time, its the next generation that are gonne keep pushing the acid techno scene, an what with so many people selling out an moving on to the minimal more accepted shit, we need them! i think anyway, he he he

This is great for me! Missed all the old releases. So now I can collect them and play them over here in Norway :)

[The_Laughing_Man]

brillian idea, I have all the early routes. 1-40
and they were the best, it would be fantastic to show the kids what it was all about and get them back into proper acid techno, rather than hard dance muck.

would be a good idea if they re-masted some of the tracks, but this label its just after some quick cash in my opinion .....

F*cking excellent!

I was just about to put a thread up about Godstopper funnily enough.

[speed-it-up]

Don't see the problem really. I never overplayed that label in my sets at the time anyway because everybody else was tanning them.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...... MY ROUTEMASTERS WILL DROP IN VALUE..... WAHHHAAAAAHHAHAHAHA




Can't wait. I'll still buy the originals though as I'm a collection whore but represses will do me in the short term.

It's like Steamliner being released on Vaults hahahahaha!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...... MY ROUTEMASTERS WILL DROP IN VALUE..... WAHHHAAAAAHHAHAHAHA

Quoted for truth - get over it!

I think it's great.

Been yearning for a copy of godstopper for years but couldn't justify the 30-50 quid plus shipping, especially with the Oz-UK exhange rate the way it is at the mo.

Would have preferred it if they were repressing the records as they were released rather than with different releases on each side, but hey, still delighted to have the chance to pick up some great tunes at a decent price.

So what does everyone else want to see repressed?

Selfishly, I just want the better tunes that are missing from my collection:

Route 2, 12, 17, 18, 26 and 45 plskthx.

Oh, and Route 28 - mine's got a little scratch at the end so I've gotta play it with the weight set as high as possible.

I really don`t see the problem
as an artist you want your music to be available to as many people as possible who would want it.
Screw the collectors.

totally - every artist under the sun makes their material available to those who want it for as long as they want it - why wouldn't you?

I don't understand why the London crew don't just make every tune they've ever done for sale as a download.......if people want it why not? back in the real world the truly collectable is the limited edition copy that has never been played - just like comics etc. If you own the copyright then go for it....it's hard enough to make a living in this business. I've said the same to Steve Smitten in the past.

Purely speculation, but I think most of the back catalogues will only be available on vinyl, the midi and audio files would probably be long gone, making getting the tracks available to download a real pain in the arse, not to mention poor quality.

Although i could be wrong.
