White labels are eagerly sought after and traded by many people!


I've got many hundreds of them - legitimate test pressings
and review copies.



Lovely.


Many don't have any info except the matrix number. It's

fun to pull one out at random and guess:-)

Yes. There is no CD recycling -you can't punch the label out
and put the rest back into the vat:-)


Or even leave the labels in - according to some people!! (??)


I personally believe that's an old wives' tail.
Many people claim to have heard about pressings with
bits of paper in the grooves, or know someone who
had one, but, to my knowledge not a single person
has been able produce one as evidence that it
actually happened.

This kind of thing was mentioned quite often here
on UKRA at one time, and I aways asked if anyone
had such a pressing which I could borrow and photo-
graph. No-one had.

But piracy is rife - it's so easy:-)


Oh yes, 'digital' quick, easy and cheap - three *sure fire* ways to make
absolutely certain summat isn't worth bothering with in this life.....


It's an easy and tempting way for Jack the Lad
to make a few bob. Abbey Road is to be sold
as the result.
