Hi , Just wondered what you other jocks spent on a weekly visit to the record shop. In our local store current chart cd's are £3.79 so you not going to get alot for a tenner!! I've noticed there's a big difference in fees, depending on where you come from. I live in North Lincolnshire and the most I can charge is £80 for a normal nights work. Yet some of you down south charge £100-£400. Okay so things are alot more expensive down there but do we all pay the same price for cd's? By the time I've paid my tax, bought a couple of cokes and slipped my mate a few quid to help me there's not a fat lot left.

It's a good job my passion for DJ-ing keeps me going!!

Nothing get them free through my day job

Being a Head of Music at a Radio Station has its perks!

Don't let your favourite uncle at the Inland Revenue hear you admitting that!.

No....... if anybody asks you this one, you saw a guy walking past and gave him money for a drink for helping lug the heavy stuff, but you have no idea who he was.

Loz,

There's been other threads on a similar line to this but here's my tuppence worth again .
I buy the monthly Mastermix Pro-Disc on subscription, regretfully from one of Chris's competitors who offer it miles cheaper that direct through Mastermix !
This is a great disc for function dj's like myself who only buy pop/chart and not the specialised dance/remix stuff available.
Last month's issue contains the following:

1 Christina Aguilera - Fighter
2 The Androids - Do It With Madonna
3 Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony ft. Phil Collins - Home
4 Busted - You Said No
5 The Cheeky Girls - Take Your Shoes Off
6 Craig David ft. Sting - Rise & Fall
7 Girls Aloud - No Good Advise
8 Ronan Keating - The Long Goodbye
9 Jennifer Lopez - I'm Glad
10 Lisa Maffia - All Over
11 Meatloaf Ft. Patti Russo - Couldn't Have Said It Better
12 Nivea - Laundromat
13 Outlandish - Guantanamo
14 Kelly Rowland - Can't Nobody
15 Lisa Scott-Lee - Lately
16 Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer (2003)
17 David Sneddon - Don't Let Go
18 Sonique - Can't Make My Mind Up
19 Stereophonics - Madamme Helga
20 Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body
21 t.A.t.U - How Soon Is Now

I've subscribed since January and in that period of time I've only bought a total of 7 singles, up to and including this week !

[EDITED BY ADMIN] - Read the Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oi !

I know of a Forum that I advertise Karaoke Equipment on, where copies go for 50p each........Unfortunately they are obviously illegal copies and I'm not telling

Sometimes I feel that i'm in the wrong business..... you only get rich by breaking the law!.

Oh dear!
you lot are bad
you get this nice comfy place to visit & chat and you talk about running off to Chris's competitors!

Thats another 10 years added on to Chris

takers - perhaps I need to rewrite the rules in braille?

LOL....My nerves won't take this any more...I can sense ninelives with the big editing stick, and fingers on the "Ban" button!. then people wonder why i'm always on here and never get any business done

I spend about 25 quid on cds every week-no wonder i'm poor

Looking at spinko's list I think that I might join

ooohhh ccchhhrrriiissss-do you sell them??

i don't spend a lot now because i play the occasional pop tune, but mainly old soul.

I get a lot vis mailing lists etc,

20 years ago, i was spending in excess of £150 per week on vinyl, those imported 12" & Japanese Kazz lp's kept me poor

nono: Sorry guys forgot about the direct competition rule.

LOL LOZ
Actually it`s not about competition as such, cos competition is healthy and Chris`s prices would take some beating anyway.
It`s simply that Chris (aka Congleton Sound and Light) finances this website and forum out of his own pocket, so it`s more about good manners and etiquette.
Anyone can make a mistake (made a slight slip-up meself a while back), so I reckon he`ll forgive you (this time)

.. We could consider a little Chris-mas pressie to our host and founder - I really wouldnt mind donating a small membership fee - how would anyone else feel about this - I think most of us have found this forum extremely useful and we are never to old to learn - I have gained lots of knowledge and I am sure that the starting out DJs find this site invaluable... Chris must spend hours on this and it has been really well thought out and has gained a good membership of serious DJs... think Chris deserves a little something for his time and trouble - "discuss"!!!

LOL Karen!. Nah, a drink at the Plasa is all I ask.

I'm not worthy I'm not worthy

Just think though chris, this time next year you could be a millionaire!!!!

wasnt going to plasa this year - stopped going when Martin stopped sending out VIP passes - however, may reconsider at the thought of meeting all you lurvely fellas!!!
