For the newbies, what does this mean? How will this differ to the original press? Sound quality? HTFR just cashing in?

If they've just pressed MP3 onto the white label and advertised it as the "promo" they're going to make an absolute killing!

Surely Polydor would take their ass to the cleaners?

I'm thinking it's probably on the up and up. If you want a copy of that record you should probably get it. I imagine if you're buying it on vinyl it's for more than the novelty of owning something that 499 people own along with you... for the record, there are a lot of rare shitty releases too... buy it because you like it. If you value it for the tune and care about vinyl, that is...

well then I am wrong, but i swear they were only pressing 500, well whatever, if its a fake its a fake if its real its real..

so is this not an actual release?

if so does anyone know when??



wouldn't mind having a copy that doesn't fade out when it goes double time to play about with......

apologies if i was a bit short with the above reply...

am having a bad morning.

Well against my better judgement I bought one.

If this is real surely they can't last long? I'm thinking of emailing HTFR and getting the lowdown on it.

Like, im pretty sure that would be just about the most illegal thing ever
Htfr are dodgy stnuc, but I would have thought they're big enough to not be messing around doing things like that lol Besides, I would have thought if anyone was gonna do that, they would be flogging them on ebay jacked up buy it now prices, instead of 5.99 a piece? They wouldnt even really make that much money.

Well I just sent them an email inquiring if these are the original white label promo releases. I'll post the reply I get here shortly.

just bought a copy before reading the rest of the thread. hoping it is genuine!! got me all exicted !! big tune so gonna be mad its some dodgy shit

Hope it's the real deal but HTFR have form.... bought a white label off them years ago which turned out not to be the original pressing, and was in fact one of the worst pressings I'd ever heard.

Got in touch with the artist concerned who confirmed it was not bona fide.

Was there any action taken?

Surely If these people are doing this there has to be repercussions for their illegal actions?

I really hope It's not the case here.

Whoever gets the first copy from HTFR MUST post here with regards to the quality etc
