Barry Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 All over Ebay and going for similar prices as the yellow vinyl - someone is making a bob
Steve S 60 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I can think of at least 3 companies who won't be happy to see this, not to mention the artists, and that's before we start on here! 2

pikeys dog Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Is it a bootleg? Seen others on the same label stating it's a limited Japanese press. Other tracks appear to have been used on Adidas adverts (hence the Originals label) You could, until he last few days, buy these off reputable online dealers (Juno, Piccadilly records, Rarekind) now all out of stock.

Barry Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 There are BINs on now at £25 and others tied up bidding @ £50+ for it?
Pete S Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It's been listed on here and removed already

Jason S Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Here's the label back catalogue. You'll get a clue from the 'unofficial' bit next to the releases. The Japan bit is there to throw you. https://www.discogs.com/label/203875-Originals Edited February 21, 2014 by Jason S 1
pikeys dog Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 There you go then - didn't take em long, but in these computer savvy days all you need is a soundfile and a credit card, and hey presto you can have a quantity of anything pressed. At least they aren't trying to fool anyone with the labels.
Barry Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Soemone will be buying a new car next week
Godzilla Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Is it a bootleg? You could, until he last few days, buy these off reputable online dealers (Juno, Piccadilly records, Rarekind) now all out of stock. Juno is littered with bootlegs, both new (old) releases like this and represses of disco/house/techno records going back 40 years or so that they list as 'warehouse finds'. 1

At least they aren't trying to fool anyone with the labels. That's the problem though: vinyl mastered from CDs sounds fairly crappy (not including the likes of Daptone, Timmion et al who record with vinyl in mind). And if it's vinyl mastered from CD that was ripped from OG vinyl in the first place, you don't have to be a genius to expect it to sound like the dog's breakfast . (apologies for possible mixed metaphor there...)
Godzilla Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Record shops take anything in if it'll turn a coin, trust me. I'd probably do the same to survive... 1

Mike Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Record shops take anything in if it'll turn a coin, trust me. is there not one major that can use as a "standard" eg if they are flogging it then it must be a proper un? 1

Mark R Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Re the Adidas boot thing..............one question: Why would you pay £50 for that when for little more (if you're patient) you could get both originals? The world's gone mad!! Cheers, Mark R
