Quinvy Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) These are scarily good. I know some of them are unissued stuff, but the others would fool anyone spinning round on a turntable at a do. They don't even bother putting a star on the label these days. I presume that due to amount of time that has elapsed since they were issued, nobody cares? Edited September 21, 2015 by Quinvy
Lfcjunkie Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Bloody hell phil...there'll be even more 'dj's ' now...Jackie Edwards stands out easiest to me print way too big.. 1
Pete S Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Most of the typefaces are wrong - also when you feel them the vinyl isn't right and the run offs are too large
Amsterdam Russ Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 "Made in the EU" on the Nolan Porter is bit of a giveaway. Shame they're not all as obvious as that to spot.
Godzilla Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Most of the typefaces are wrong - also when you feel them the vinyl isn't right and the run offs are too largeThey look as though the the label dimensions might be wrong too. Lots of new/reissue 45s have much smaller labels than were used until the 2000s. The first one I remember definitely noticing was the boot of the Vibrettes - Humpty Dump on Lujon from 2007.
Philb Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I may be wrong but shouldn't the Nolan Porter label be an abc dunhill not abc donhill recording.Phil. 1
Quinvy Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 I know what you are saying, but on a turntable in a dark club........ 2
Bazm Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Just done a double take on a Helen Shapiro going for 21 quid on e-bay......no mention of it being a re-issue apart from the 'B' sideFritning!
Frankie Crocker Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Scary stuff. Won't be long before they're sold as the real thing or outnumber the originals coming to market. Not so bad if it's plainly a reissue but there should be something on the label to identify it as a later edition such as the date or a symbol.
Robbk Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I may be wrong but shouldn't the Nolan Porter label be an abc dunhill not abc donhill recording.Phil.Not to mention "Catologue Music"on the Musicor record, rather than "Catalogue", and my friend, Dennis Coffey should be insulted that his name is misspelled as: "Coffee". Do they make one small misspelling to identify it easily as NOT being original, for those amateurs, that don't know how the original fonts for each pressing plant looked. 1

Mike Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 its all a bit like the old 'even the tattoos are spelt wrong' linenorthern soul 2015 - new lows daily 2
Liamgp Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Pretty shoddy workmanship - you just can't get the same quality of bootlegger as in my day!
Ian Dewhirst Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I think this is a UK pressing plant that's doing these. Any ideas anyone?Ian D
Benji Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Eagle eye Benji says Constellations wrong as well: Mala and Bell logos are missing. Only Amy logo there.
Dazz Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I think this is a UK pressing plant that's doing these. Any ideas anyone?Ian DHere's an idea, How about finding it, laser targeting and sending in the Drones 2
Steve L Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Here's an idea, How about finding it, laser targeting and sending in the DronesGreat idea but only if the people doing/selling em are inside at the time…… no point in taking it out on the poor pressing plant just for the sake of it 2
Robbk Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Eagle eye Benji says Constellations wrong as well: Mala and Bell logos are missing. Only Amy logo there.Good catch. I'm convinced the bootleggers leave a little something small, but obvious when finally seen, just to keep peope from thinking they tried to flood the market with boots, and, perhaps, pass some off through secondary sellers, as originals. I am also of the opinion that those boots were made in Britain. Why bother to have a US plant press them, and then have to ship them to UK, when the existing US plants can't make them look any more legitimate than these are?
Ady Potts Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 The Constellations - 'I don't know about you' didn't come out on white demo.
Podge Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Who the hell is Dan Mancha ? Jack Montgomery should know, he wrote this labels version !!
Robbk Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Jack is one of Marvin Jones' best friends. Dan Mancha is yet another stage name for another guy Don suggested use his family name.
Dave Pinch Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 wynder k frog is the wrong label design..and as stated the font is wrong on all the others except maybe voodoo workin
Ady Croasdell Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I await the day somebody tells me they've got an original Musicor pressing of The Magic Touch.
Harrogatesoul Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I await the day somebody tells me they've got an original Musicor pressing of The Magic Touch.I await the days these people are named and shamed Ady. These are other individuals work and copyrights held in most cases and is out and out theft. At least buy legit re issues!

These are other individuals work and copyrights held in most cases and is out and out theft. At least buy legit re issues! Me too, name and shame, I would imagine it takes a lot of hard work/money to get the rights to re issue legitimately a record, these ''individuals'' are ruining the record buying part of the scene, dishonest,against the law practises and should be held to account in my view................... step down from soap box ! 1
Ady Croasdell Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Good comments people, it's a great job but can be frustrating when bootleggers who steal the artists and songwriter's talents get away with it. 1
