Yeah, it's 'cause I'm an "old guy".
Home taping means you can make your own copies for your own use - like a cassette to play in your car.
Time to grow up.
I have two (2) problems here. You tried to copy (for free) a friend's discs and failing THAT you went to Walmart!
Stand up and be an honorable human.
Not sure I would want my kids in your room.
So............I guess this is the wrong place to say Cannon gives me the heebie jeebies and I only enjoy him in very small doses and in contexts where I can't avoid the irritation.
I suggest the recent Select price increases and "expense reductions" suggest more "common" titles in the future. Sales do keep these guys alive, not "plaudits". The Mulligan Mercurys might fly.
Wrong Cliffie. Test pressings were done on the regular vinyl used for production. The original reason was to send copies to the label and/or producer to compare the quality of the metalwork and see if this was a good representation of the approved mastering. Historically 3 or 4 copies were supplied but as the years progressed more were pressed to provide advance copies to the most important media folks.
Devoting a single press to "lesser quality" vinyl for tests would be economically silly for the plant.
