True true......although It's the cheapest I'm going to get the real deal of it around. I'd have no chance getting it from ebay for less than £50.......hell I'd being doing it tough to get a dodgey copy for less than £25 on ebay!
I'd be very surprised If the prices of it did come down on discogs.

My god,
This is madness.
It seems i have been talking to Godflesh Fiend on ebay! haha
My auction must have looked dodgey!
I am incredibly disgusted at HTFR!
Haha. Oh dear.
I bought this off my pal, hmmm something makes me think i should have just stuck to my dubplate of the tune.
I cant believe that HTFR and juno would stoop so low just to make a bit of cash!
Haha, limited second press my bum. Nevermind hey. haha

Why hello there.
I'd say it's pretty safe to say that at this point any listing that does not have an actual picture of the stamped vinyl is dodgey. And since HTFR & Juno unleashed the beast there have been an avalanche of listings.

Aye.
However i guess my listing is just a confirmed dud. At least ive not put pictures up of the original promo, i assume as you quite rightly say that some of those are dodgy.
Bit off topic but i saw ntype like a week ago, im sure he used a cd copy of it! Wouldnt he have a total original dubplate?
Anyhow, i apreciate the heads up on this situation so thanks for messaging me on ebay

sounds just like HTFR to press up hooky presses of a tune...

They were even stupid enough to put their name and polydor's on it, and the wrong name of the remix

. Would be interested to see if juno were as fick.

Although they didn't put Polydors.

ah shit thats well bad, i got an original copy off dubplate.net, but being in birmingham, htf is one of my local shops!
i had no idea they were involved in dodgy stuff like this, but anyone whos actually been in there and seen the guy who runs it probably wont be surprised, he looks like a scary, dodgy bloke

I used to buy a ton of speed garage vinyl and I think HTFR took rarities and pressed white label EP's. They had all these series' like Bassline Rumblers Vol-1-9 and Trotters Independant Trader's (LOLS @ the cheek) volumes with 4 tunes on each record, funny enough no where else seemed to sell the same EP's.

It really does amaze me that they get away with this? Why isn't anyone (artist or label) doing anything about this. I mean this is blatant.
Some poor young girl gets her ass sued for downloading a crappy Britney Spears album yet this record store gets away with murder???

They can easily deny it, wasn't maybe HTFR directly but someone was cashing in. Those EP'S started going for top dollar on ebay too.

Got mine through today. They sound pretty good but still obviously not the original.

Sorry to bring this all up again - but noticed HMV were selling these too?
Are these still not legit ones or has it been officially pressed now?
