Wouldn't they press up a few extras anyway in case of breakage / damage when doing a specific number ? just in case a few got dropped / knocked over before the event
Pressed at the same time.from same plates but over the amount requested
Unless you know about the secret markings on the official.ones then you will never know.
Its not going to be easy to prove it but probably not the first limited edition release to have more than actually stated
They are all in demand under the radar going to go big anytime now when they are selling them
When you sell to a dealer they are unpopular / crap / unknown/ failed plays though
There's less and less good dealers out there, now with ebay sellers and cheque book dj buyers prices and conditions are being exagerated
It used to be good but 2 from the last 4 purchases I've made have gone back or overgraded
Ovo is there for the purists and for the old school djs to keep them relevant on the scene and to stop younger people taking the dj spots .
Playing oldies means they dont have to buy new records to keep up
Vinyl nights are for people who dont care about the history and want to.be djs playing whatever but see them superior to cd / mp3 playing djs but everything is available on a Carver for 20 quid or so so.they dont have to spend a fortune.
Mp3 / cds are cheaper / remastered and dont have any background hiss so some say they sound better.
It just depends on your view and budget
Top 500 on original vinyl = cost of a house
On bootleg / reissue vinyl about £5000 / 7500
On CD probably about £1000 / 1500 if you bought them when they came out maybe less if second hand cds
On mp3 collection from ebay / etsy / dodgy soul night trader £10 / 20
So it depends on the budget to what format you get the music to play
But in the end they are the same songs
If you are worried about a particular rare track and dont want to damage your vinyl then you can download it from YouTube with programmes easily
Nero is what i used for burning but had a programme called sonix before that
