Bought them last Tuesday and still aint got them. Apparently, the company that hosts the tunes is based in Oz so it takes ages to communicate with them?!?

Have any of you bought mp3's from them? I bought an old Texture 12" on mp3 from them and it's just a horrible cd rip that skips all the time. Generally their mp3's sound like really bad vinyl rips. I can't see how people can charge money for that sort of thing. I have never had any problems when ordering vinyl from them though.

I've had a couple mp3's that were 56kbps instead of 320! If you contact them and let them know your tunes aren't good they do eventually sort it out.

Okay, I'll try that. But I still can't see how you can put garbage like that up for sale. Bleep have a stock which is a thousand times bigger, but they never fuck up like that.

It's the same thing with the fucked up pressings of Benga's album - how can you actually distribute a vinyl record that has two wrong tracks on it? Excuse my honesty but you have to be pretty retarded to do that.

I bought some vinyl and a t-shirt form them and received nothing! Tried to mail them but no reply.

So use this site at your own risk....

erm, to be honest that's just something a coupla peeps have posted up here. I'm not taking 'sides' either way but it's not been confirmed by anyone (yet). And if it was a mispress it's not the fault of the label - it's a fuckup at the pressing plant.

I didn't say whose fault it was. But I can't figure out how you can spend thousands on mastering and pressing a record and then release it without listening to it.

it's perfectly possible for a record to be mispressed, but this only happens at the Pressing Plant - the artist/label are not involved in this part of the manufacture process, which occurs after the mastering/cut.

More often than not a large amount of the stock will go direct from pressing plant to distributor - so the label will not be able to check the vinyl before it's sold (and noone checks every single record anyway).

Like I said in the specific thread, I worked with a label which had about 100+ vinyls (from a 500 run) pressed with completely the wrong B side - this was because of the pressing plant confusing similar catalogue numbers on the metalwork. It can & does happen, and it is rarely the fault of the label - they're just paying other companies (for mastering & pressing) who occasionally make mistakes.

We're not disagreeing at all. I never said it was the label's fault. I'm just saying that it's an incredibly retarded thing to do.

the last version of dubplate.net had a terrible, terrible store too. I had more problems ordering and getting records from them than i ever had with any other web store. not shipping stuff i ordered, sending doubles of things i didn't order. slanging me off in emails that i was trying to rip them off. eventually not responding to my emails at all...

steer clear i say...
