these cutters would not do the run out writing ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon Glass To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land. Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 11:47 PM Subject: RE: [KLF] and especially an evergreen... 006T Now i'm wondering if the Vestax would replicate any faults in the vinyl that is being copied. Did anyone get one of the 008R (cough) 'reissues' that became available a couple of years back, and if so did they notice that they are pretty warped although still playable? I have two copies and they are both like this. I believe from Pete Robinson's book amongst other sources that of the 2000 originally pressed, half were too warped to be playable... Therefore can anyone who has an original 008R confirm that it is still a little warped, but playable? And if anyone has an original AND a reissue could they compare the two? And does anyone on the list by any chance own one of these magical Vestax machines? =) Don Gagen <DGagen(a)EnsembleStudios.com> wrote: You're probably thinking of the Vestax VRX 2000 http://www.vestax.com/products/vrx2000.htm I also remember seeing a cutter that would attach to a standard 1200, but I can't seem to find anything about them now.

POSTED ON CHRIS'S BEHALF: I saw that someone was asking for a scan of the "Adrenalin" text from the KLF006T's I've got. I checked and none of them have this on them. Thinking I'd been diddled after all I spoke to the guy and he said it's quite normal for white labels to be pressed up without the plant's name on them. Still unsure, I checked some of my white labels and - lo and behold - he's quite right. I checked my KLF4T, KLF004X (wandaful mix) and KLF8R white labels and none of them had pressing plant info on them. Also, my KLF92PROMO3 (which we all seem to agree is genuine) doesn't have plant info on it either. Given this, I really do think they're genuine after all. Given that the one on eBay didn't sell, I'm wondering if any list members want to buy one of the copies - I've already sold two so there are only two others left. If prospective buyers could email me at: cpeel2300(a)hotmail.com with an offer, I can still pick up that email. Thanks! Chris

You're probably thinking of the Vestax VRX 2000 http://www.vestax.com/products/vrx2000.htm I also remember seeing a cutter that would attach to a standard 1200, but I can't seem to find anything about them now.

> http://www.historyhouse.com/in_history/medusa/ Thanks for that. Interesting read. Nothing like a good cannibal story to make the skin crawl. Sawney Bean always gave me the creeps. This page allows you to view the painitng in detail: http://www.artchive.com/artchive/G/gericault/raft_of_the_medusa.jpg.html Shortly after getting my first copy of Space and seeing the cover I happened to be flipping though a friend's art book and had a start when I found this painting. Could never remember the name of it. -paul
