Bazm Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Was anyone else confused by the description of items recently for sale on Ebay? The descriptions read as follows SOUND IMPRESSION RECORDS DONI BURDICK BARI TRACK / I HAVE FAITH IN YOU Not the original first press but this copy does look the business. The label looks stunning both sides, ideal for DJing. Vinyl is in excellent condition. And the same for Jimmy Mack with scans of both items looking exactly like the originals. Are these dubs with copied lables on them, new conterfeits or actually originals. I found the description confusing. Any ideas??

Supercorsa Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Any chance of a link, please? Just so that we can see what you're on about, thanks.
Bazm Posted September 5, 2005 Author Posted September 5, 2005 Think your right Baz - looked like label scans that had been laser printed and then stuck onto a boot - think both were booted on Soul Galore weren't they? link Both were booted on Soul Galore and I dont think would have made anything like the £70plus quid the Doni Burdick made tonight especially with labele stuck on, although I may be wrong looking at some of the prices pressings are fetching these days. What bothered me was the fact that from the scans, I thought they were actually originals (although in fairness it states they are not) which is why I was asking if anyone else thought the same. You've got to be careful these days with look-a-like copies coming out of the States, without the added pitfalls of being shown what look, for all the world like originals and then finding out they've be done on a computer and stuck on a dub plate. Or were these real and the seller got it wrong??????? wadda ya think?

Dave Moore Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 There's more than one "collector" DJ who plays things like this. When I questioned one of their actions his response was " Well I paid a lot for the originals so I don't want to ruin 'em". RUIN 'EM?? You mean your frightened they won't stay in mint condition for when you sell them in a couple of years time?? You Dickhead! My response...."I'm oughta here". I left the venue there and then with steam coming outta my lugs! The influx of "returnee" collectors has led to things like this being on the verge of "acceptable" to a lot of them. I will never understand why people have to change things that aren't broken!! Oh yes I remember now............then again......"nuff sed!" Regards, Dave https://www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Sebastian Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Problem solvers: Buy 2 "healthy" styluses to use when you DJ. Learn how to properly set up a turntable. Don't cue styrene records.

Don't cue styrene records. link Problem not all stylii are the same it wasnt cue burn JW got ir]t was right through the record and if the stylus is fucked it would not matter how well you could or not set the deck up
Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Problem not all stylii are the same it wasnt cue burn JW got ir]t was right through the record and if the stylus is fucked it would not matter how well you could or not set the deck up link If your lookin` for credit,not gettin`any of me no way,just take some cheaper records say less than a tenner,plenty-a-good tune for a tenner,and dont play the same 20 records over and over and over,get a life and some more records best advice the decks are fukc`d,fukc off home i would or i would play me cheepo records at my own risk,depending on how bad they are,just thought of this take your own decks,you can get a reasonable pair pair fer £100,set them up yerself jobs a good-en
Sebastian Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Problem not all stylii are the same it wasnt cue burn JW got ir]t was right through the record and if the stylus is fucked it would not matter how well you could or not set the deck up link I suspect that most venues use Technics 1200s or a lookalike of some kind. They all use the same kind of stylus set-ups. The reason JW got noise through the entire record was becasue the stylus was in poor condition, the weight was set too high and the anti-skating wasn't set-up properly. The people in charge of setting up the turntable didn't do his/hers job. It's VERY easy to learn how to do this. When it comes to this, ignorance is the main problem in my opinion.

For me PERSONALLY, it's the thin edge of the wedge. I've seen DJs play boots/pressings that have never SEEN a copy of JD Bryant etc never mind owned the bleedin' thing, and use the previous arguement as a reason why that's acceptable. As I say....strokes for folks. You wanna sit at home and drool over your minters, that's certainly anyone's perogative. Me...I like 'em out there blasting through speakers like they should be.

Regards, Dave https://www.hitsvillesoulclub.com/ link Hi Dave Have to be careful in what i say but my main gripe is dj's with loads of pressings getting the best time slots. As for me i have never played a pressing even when i have the original Except Gwen Owens cause i never know when it will jump on a system. J D Bryant does enhance my argument though my copy was the first to surface through Kev Roberts/Jim wensiora/Keb and has the usual Keb intro burn(sorry Keb)mind you i only paid £350 for it so cant complain Bets Ted
