More likely just too lazy to do a little five minute research before calling foul.

I don't think it was ever booted as such , there's the Stardust reissue and the 'Vintage Soul' E.P. but that's it as far as I'm aware , no counterfeit lookalike.

And fire if required ...

You should have turned the iron right up to the highest setting and finished it off ...

A very colourful macro week so far ... A hungry no-more spider. Ladybird on the way. Scissor Bees in the Poppies . A voracious little spider-hunting wasp who's taken up residence in the top of an old calor-gas lamp in the summerhouse , as I sit doing my solar imaging she's in and out every ten minutes or so with paralysed spiders for her broods larder , I've grown quite fond of her ... The "original" Velcro. An unidentified insect pupa hanging underneath a Hazel leaf. And as I wandering about the other evening I shot this single frame with the same Laowa 100mm F2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens that I used on the shots above , a remarkably sharp piece of glass from 80mm to 384,000km ...

If it hasn't got the raised , mirrored MSI Co stamp it's a wrong'un.

It's the beak that is all wrong to be a chaffinch ,which has a much stronger triangular beak as finches do , the Goldcrest has a finer pointier beak for picking insects , the chaffinch's shoulder markings are very similar but the upper bar is usually more pronounced ... And the Hornet is most definitely a hornet not a wasp , when I come across a dead one I'll do you a side by side comparison photo , they are less forgiving than the Scissor Bees so I don't fancy pushing the camera to within 80mm as I did yesterday ...

Another new arrival here today , a cloud , for want of a better word , of Small Scissor Bees decided to take up residence in the old Oak doorframe to my back porch. Delightful little folk they are too , disappearing into all the old nail and pin holes in the weathered frame ... not the easiest things to photograph as you can probably gather from the millimetre scale in one of the photos ... ! And at the top of the garden the young Goldcrests were out in force again as I was solar imaging , so managed to catch some frames of them as well , along with one frame of my favourite jumping spider who came out of hiding too.

Been meaning to test the video side of the EOS 90D for a while and this was a great opportunity. Shot in FHD only as I need to get a faster SD card for the 4K recording , got another opportunity next week so I'll try again then. Summer Solstice ISS Solar Transit 21st June 2023. Canon EOS 90D + Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary @ 600mm + Baader ND 5.0 Film. Slowed it down to 0.25x ... and made a looped .gif in PIPP. https://astrob.in/jb70ed/0/ And all the transit frames combined.

A few easily identifiable critters before bedtime and a couple of birds I need help with please. The Harlequin Ladybird larva is a vritable armoured machine close-up ... The baby Long-tailed Tits were having a proper knees up , about thirty of them but only one sat and posed ... all under the watchful eye of the young Crow who was swiftly shooed away before his ideas of an easy supper came to be. And these last two I need help with , both look "warbler" to me with the first maybe a female Yellow-browed Warbler ... ?

The song is "If you don't dig the blues" , it may help in your search for a copy especially if you're using a remote e-bay search/notification program .

One extreme to another this morning , a nice steady atmosphere let me capture a lovely busy Sun in nice detail and then a tiny jumping spider popped into range as I was processing the solar stuff. (Sun false coloured) He wouldn't sit still for me though and eventually took to hiding in a crack in the shiplap , the tile is 6"x6" and he was tucked away in the crack in the little yellow box above it ... And finally for those that think planets are only available at night a snatched shot of the Moon and Jupiter in the morning light , handheld with the 90D and Sigma 150-600.

I would assume the quality control dept would perform a similar test before sending a stamper to a pressing plant ? Hence maybe the lack of pressing plant stamps present on the 45. Would seem odd to me to send something often hundreds of miles away before it was tested and potentially returned with all the associated rigamarole .
-
Just a test press to check the stamper for that particular side of the 45 surely , I would think that would be a not particularly unusual event at a metal mastering plant.

That's a badly handcut label , probably stuck on the Outta Site boot for some silly vanity thing. Zoom in on the cutout round the centre.

Was quietly minding my own business cooking my tea when I spotted this one casually walking towards the kitchen window ... 🥰 Luckily the 100mm Laowa macro was on the 550D after I'd been messing about with the 90D earlier , I bought it for getting close up and personal with tiny creepy-crawlies but it makes a fine portrait lens too ... There are some benefits of single glazing after all , shot from 3 feet ... And people keep asking me why I don't move into town to be nearer civilisation ...
