BoomTssPhace Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Just found this at the shop, said it was stocked april 20. Wonder if it's from the same motley crew that put out the AB1-5 bootleg Haven't had a chance to play it yet but it's a pretty satisfying package (minus the sewage-inspired vinyl colors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 26 Mixes for Cash is a legitimate release (as if there was any doubt), but the ABB 1-5 is certainly a bootleg and illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new 4LP of 26 Mixes is obviously bootlegged. It looks terrible, and so does that other ugly AB thing. Amazing that people would want to pay for this shit.

BoomTssPhace Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's a good release to have on wax, albeit illegitimately released, and luckily it is indeed a quality pressing (span), so stop being lil binches (jan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 i guess.. the whole thing feels v compressed in a bad way which is a shame because that track is incredible. worthy of a nice remaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomTssPhace Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Well it sounds like the cd from Warp that i've listened to since like 2007, i.e. it sounds pretty good to my ears. I could be wrong but uh i don't plan on ripping each track and pouring though spectrograms any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but uh i don't plan on ripping each track and pouring though spectrograms any time soon But you don't really need to be poring over spectrographs to be able to hear it - as dr lopez has already made light of, some of the tracks just sound janky as fuck. I specifically didn't mention low-bitrate MP3 sources (although some of the tracks are this), due to the fact that there are some tracks that have problems with distortion, and also have been edited down to shorten their duration.

oscillik Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yeah so i guess it sounds as good as it will get? Unless it's like remasters directly from richard Well, as good as it will get would be at least compiling the bootleg from the originally released media (CDs or records) - that would resolve the edited / poor quality tracks. For the ones that aren't available on other releases, then yeah the 26 Mixes For Cash CD copies would have to suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's how the story goes - WARP even reached out to me to see if I had the 3" CD of Heroes... it all came down to timing (poor that is) - WARP supposedly got wind of some label wanting to do exactly the same thing, so they beat them to the punch (probably why tDR phoned in the design work too). Now, you might say "Why wouldn't WARP just have gotten the masters from Richard?" The rumour at the time was he wasn't interested in such a release, and it would take him too long to find the masters for those out of the hundreds of tracks he did (and recall he famously took his own tracks and offered them up as "remixes" of other artists' tunes). OK, I think I've made up for my memory faux pas earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
