Quinvy Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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.

Bazm Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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?

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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Croasdell Posted September 26, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
