Does anyone know how they managed to get Freshgrind written in what looks like varnish on the releases? I remember buying number 1 and thinking how the hell did they do that, and why isn't the sound quality affected. Anyone know? :eh: A sad question I know, but it puzzles me... :lol:
Isn't it a watermark....?
It is a cool little feature...
Who cares though when the music is so accomplished...
I care!! :lol:
oh, r they all like this?
i got one of em and thought was cool too
must be done before hand i guess, is ok as long as the needle stays in the grooves :)
There are many records like this thought, i got one that goes to the middle them coms back to the start :) got many that you play from the middle too, very confusing when your bit fukt :)
The best one like that is Pounding Grooves 17 S.E, the one with the twin spiral. Class! :lol:
I didn't even realise there was another track on that side until about a month after I'd bought it, haha.Quote:

Too many came out them days to name 1 specific choooooooon tho!!
nah is a old gabber record, name hehehe
**** knows :) could not name 1 record i got in the shops last week
my memory has totally gone :nono:
any1 noticed how thick the fresh grind vynil realese's are?!? u could do sum damage with dean roddels last 1!!! :lol:
I'd rather them thicker then thinner!!
yes sound great, good quality. same as squat records, they all get done in hackney i guess
i heard that lawrie get's branded on his arse for each release and then just sit's on them before they are sent out :eh: :lol:
ha ha! :lol:
I think the etching takes place at the cutting stage. It can`t happen at the pressing stage, cos all that happens is the soft vinyl is pumped into the press and then stamped by the stamper, therefore the stamper must have the pattern as well as the cut on it?
Nah, it can't have, because the Freshgrind writing would be pressed in to the vinyl. The actual Freshgrind writting looks like its varnished or something as its slightly raised. Maybe they stamp it on after the press & then cut it? :?:
probably has to do with the same method as making picture disks
...and how do they do that? :eh:Quote:

well if yer the man with the pressing plant yer can do what you want and still charge 6 pund in the shops. Really shows up some of these euro releases that do a wicked Rolf Harris wobble board noise. :lol:Quote:
