someone told me they were going to re-release all the old Bonkers CDs with the Resist logo on them, then someone else told me they'd seen old Bonkers CDs with Resist stickers over the old React logo! Anyone seen this?

Its the same label for****sake. Read the news page, that was posted in july ->
quote:
React to Resist
React Music - one of the most successful and internationally revered independent record labels as well as creator of the Bonkers hardcore CD series - is no more. In its place, a new company, Resist Music, has been set up by React's James Horrocks and Melissa Kemp and has since acquired the staff, rights and catalogue of React and is now officially open for business.
Although React was enjoying its best period of turnover and profit for 5 years, the label was owed in excess of £1,000,000 in distributed income from 4am/Flute, part of the Beechwood Music group of companies that went into voluntary administration in June. Following Beechwood’s closure, React was unable to extract any monies due or trade out of such debts and as a result the label was forced into voluntary administration on 16th June 2004.
During its 14 year history the label became a leading force in dance music and club culture, synonymous with cutting edge compilations and singles through series that included Reactivate, Drum & Bass Arena, Bonkers, Café Del Mar, Good Times, Dope On Plastic and Real Ibiza, as well as classic singles such as Candi Staton's 'You Got The Love', and Age Of Love's 'Age Of Love'. Each release reflected a particular moment in dance music’s history, and more often than not, React became an important catalyst in bringing that scene, sound, or DJ to mainstream attention. The results were such that the label became a commercial force to be reckoned with, as sales of some series reached upwards of 600,000 units.
This news has been around for a while as rumors but from next week Resist will release a press release official annouching the change with an article in Music Week (a large UK music industry based magazine). HappyHardcore.com has been in contact with Resist since learning about this a few weeks back and there is no change in releases, the Hardcore Till I die 2 CD is still set for October 5th 2004 as well as a new Bonkers CD towards the end of the year

Yea, i bought Bonkers 9 Last weekend and it had a "Resist" sticker over the "React" label... I don't see the point to be honest.

They want people to know who makes the CD's, they put them there for the same reason any label would put their name on their releases.

Yea, I know that i just thought it was weird because those were technically not Resist releases... I mean I KNOW AND EVERYONE KNOWS that Resist IS React etc etc but still i thought it was a waste of time.
