Sorry to jump on your thread, but it can't be just me who saw this on the bay and wondered what it would sell for?

Okay so if you've got a record like this would you leave well alone, or get a good quality printed or photocopied scan from an obliging friend and stick that on?

(In my experience a label done through a colour photocopier is near perfect as the white isn't too white, and looks much more like the real thing)

I've got two nice records which are by definition much rarer as wdj's, but they both look awful because of chronic felt pen abuse on the northern side (only)

I've not yet got around to deciding whether to leave well alone or do something about it.

What do you all think if you came to buy one of these records in years to come, would you rather have a clean reprinted label, or an ugly unreadable one, and how would it affect the price ? The fact that the flipside label would still be unchanged, would that affect your decision to purchase or not ?

Questions, all the time questions .........

good question. i've got a verve demo of clara ward- the right direction with a silly written on label always thought about getting a copy of the proper label but didn't know if this would be right thing to do, all answers appreciated

Jump on mate, that's what it's on here for.

The description Labels -- Both sides have dj marks, otherwise clean. was what had me laughing, but I think you pose a really good question.

The older, and grumpier I get (taking lessons from SteveL) the more I'm of the opinion that it's better for the longevity of appreciation, and for respect to other collectors, to live with increasing rarity rather than use technology to reproduce something that decreases rarity. That's just a personal opinion, but one that leads me to annoyance and frustration when you see some of the fakes being touted. But it's a good point. I wouldn't buy this, but if I did and someone offered my a copy label would I be tempted? I guess I would to see what the record would look like in its prime, I just wouldn't be able to fix it firmly for fear of future con.

In other rare mediums (painting, furniture etc) I would think it's quite usual to "repair" and improve appearance of original articles without them being declared fake. I think the intention to deceive or not is an important one, as well as responsibility for future owners deceiving.
