[QUOTE="siman91, post: 832870, member: 755"] OK a few points which I can give some guidance on but not 1st hand experience. 1, Summer of Love was 1988 in UK and was given this tag by the Londoncentric UK press such as the Sun who originally supported the Acid House movement until the police turned society with the evil drugs message. House music was beign played out before 1988 especially in Northern clubs like the Hacienda (1986 ish) etc. 1987 Delerium @ Heaven started but only hit the press in 88 with Shoom etc. 2, DJ International Tour was early 87 with a follow up early 88 from where the Chicago guys commented that the UK had gone mad and realy understood what the music was about. Regarding artists present, I am not sure Frankie Knuckles was there however Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Robert Owens, Adonis and Phuture (inc Joe Smooth)were there. The tours were promotional tours and therefore costs would be minimal with clubs paying for the artists to appear. Dont forget Pete Tong with the backing of London Records bought the UK rights to most Chicago labels including DJ International so likely they paid for the tour. 3, Trax were a complete mess and until circa 1988 were all imports to the UK so could turn up in any colour. Larry Sherman pressed anything using recycled vinyl and any labels he could get hold of. I have at least 1 record where the inner label is miss placed and for the wrong track. Trax pressing plant was pivital to house by pressing other labels like the extremely important JesSay and Precision. The red label trax pressings are commonly post 1987 back catalogue and can be very poor quality due to Larry Sherman and Trax struggling to meet demand meaning quality went out the window. Weve all had warped, poping and hissy Trax pressing which are good for nothing. The original black labels are usually good pressing and therefore go for more. There are also very few picture covers for Trax due to costs, the only one I have is Evie which is very rare with the cover. I stand to be corrected on any of the above although to get a nuts and bolts history of the history of house music from the people who were actually there and know the artists themselves try the below web site.
