The internet killed the fun of seeking them out, now everything ever recorded is but a click away. I must have burnt about 100 live Dylan gigs to CD. Now putting them in the cloud. Times change quick these days. Back in the dial-up days I postal traded about 50 or 60 Clash shows on CD-r, this was amongst hundreds of other live shows by other bands that I also amassed. In hindsight the majority of them were only worth listening to once as a curio, some of the better ones have since been remastered by fans and made available on forums or torrent sites. Times change, I don't have anything on CD-r now. |

A businessman who made more than £1m selling fake vinyl records was caught after a fan of punk band the Clash complained that the sound quality of an LP he had bought was not as sharp as it should have been. Trading standards officers launched an investigation into Richard Hutter and found that he had been selling thousands of counterfeit records to rock and pop fans over a six-year period. Hutter, 55, from Ringwood, Hampshire, was given a suspended jail sentence, ordered to do 350 hours unpaid work and told to wear a tag for three months. He charged up to £35 for albums from bands ranging from the Beatles to Pink Floyd, Nirvana and Amy Winehouse. He was found out when a Clash fan demanded his money back because of the poor sound quality on the record he had bought online. When the refund was refused the customer complained to trading standards officers, who bought two sample records – Appetite for Destruction by Guns N’ Roses and Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age – from Hutter’s online business and both turned out to be fakes. Hutter’s home was searched and officers seized his phone and laptop, which led to them uncovering the scale of his operation. As well as selling through his website and a US site, he listed almost 1,200 LPS for sale on eBay in one year. When questioned, Hutter denied knowing they were counterfeit records and said he had sourced them from Europe and sold them on. He pleaded guilty to 13 counts of selling counterfeit records and one count under the Proceeds of Crime Act (2002). www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/05/man-who-made-12m-from-fake-vinyl-records-caught-out-by-clash-fan |

Isn't that a big issue these days
Lucky though....
Recorder Richard Tutt said he was unable to impose the standard five-year prison sentence for a money laundering offence as magistrates had made an error with the process of sending the case to crown court.

That is absolutely criminal.
Fucking useless bastards.
I knew fakes of official releases was a big thing in the third world, not so much here.

...as well as wondering where he got them pressed, i am baffled as to how he went about preparing and then printing the sleeves, labels etc and managing to fool so many people  You should be able to tell instantly that a record is a fake, if the sleeve image/artwork is of inferior quality. |
