ARTICLE - Sampling Vinyl – No Copyright – Public Domain?
Sampling Vinyl that isn’t copyrighted sounds impossible right? I am asking for your help. I want to find archives of vinyl records that are in public domain or just not copyrighted.
Everything from obscure Jazz performances, speeches, recordings of train whistle sounds, home recordings and unpublished strange albums. What if there’s a box full of old amateur recordings collecting dusts under a staircase?

I do all my own vinyl digitizing right into the iPad with a medium grade usb record player.
I frequent thrift stores every weekend and usually pick up a few old albums. The collection is getting huge and I haven't had time to listen to all of them yet. If I make a loop or use a sample from a source that is suspect I will mangle that sucker until you can't recognize it.
What would be cool is a vinyl exchange between countries. I could send some obscure old 50' - 70's albums and get some from someone in the UK. I have several that would be great for getting speeches and weird hippie stuff, but not the kind of thing I need for my style. (industrial rock, tech metal etc.)
Great idea!
White labels. And test pressings (unreleased) are the only things I can think of that would be un-copyrighted.
Where all the dance, electro, jungle white labels from the 90's went, I don't know. Ashtrays and kitchen flooring maybe, I don't know ! Good luck.
Thanks for the tips!
I got some good tips over at TSTR to and here's a quote from Clif Johnston (Apptronica):
"Since we’re talking about making videos that will be uploaded to YouTube, it’s important to understand the way the YouTube system works. If you use commercial music, the risk you’re taking is that you will get a claim against the music in your video, which means you can’t monetize it, and instead, your viewers will start seeing Geico commercials before your content.
Here’s my suggestion. I’m not sure about Sweden, but in Seattle, you can go to a local shop and get short-run vinyl by local bands/artists. You wouldn’t have to worry about claims, and most artists would appreciate the publicity. You can also find tons of artists on Bandcamp selling vinyl by scrolling down to the Discover section on the home page and clicking “Vinyl” (example: http://theweave.bandcamp.com/album/knowledge-porridge-2)."
Bandcamp! Now that's a great idea!
Getting in touch with band campers and also getting permission from em shouldn't be too difficult.
Yes. Cliff is absolutely correct. If you're not making money there should be no issue. If somehow It did go to court, the worst that could happen is you'd be told to take it off.
But who's going to know if you use a 70's Russian jazz loop !
@RUncELL yeah I'm thinking in the same lines here. I'll have a look around for some stuff to sample. And I'm definitely go look on Bandcamp.
Unsigned indy bands sign-up for services to enforce their copyright on Youtube too, so you're still going to get blocked or have other people's ads play.

I would love to hear me some 70's Russian jazz.
We have ONE place here in town (Medford Oregon) called MusicHead. and the guy has a lot of vinyl, old and new, but there's a whole section of white label albums. I bet you could get with him online. He might even have an eBay store just for that stuff.
I wouldn't monetise those videos where I'm sampling stuff, and I would get permission first from the bands. I'f I'm not making it commercial I could always fight a claim. I think?
Also you linked a picture, but do you have a link too?
@Martygras Thanks for the tip! I'll try to get in touch with him.
For sure. I just meant don't count on an unsigned band not enforcing their copyright.
It was more of a joke, but Jamaica has one of, if not the largest vinyl pressing industries in the world, where there are millions of obscure records and white labels just sitting around in crates waiting to be recycled into new records. Where I'm from, DJs make an annual pilgrimage to the island to source this vinyl.
If it doesn't have to be vinyl:

@solador78 Thanks for the explanation and I'm sorry I didn't get the joke.
I would love to go on a vinyl pilgrimage to Jamaica. The treasures to be discovered, I can only imagine.
Grew up listening to Rocksteady, ska and Roots Reggae so a trip like that would be awesome.
@lala Thank you, great tip! =D
