Dodgy Cd's

[Barely Human]

just wonderin how many people have got copy's of bootleg cd's of mark or m-zone? And where about u live? They are usually copyed and are named like mark eg volume 4 or summit like that. the guy who is doin these is bang out of order, and i can see why they are pi**in mark an that off!

Also, Mark, ive found a shop that is sellin them. im gonna see if i can find out who is distributin them to them. if u wanna know the shop name, send me your new e-mail address and i'll let u know.

there is already a large thread about this subject somewhere on the forum, i think its titled 'Can anyone help ?' Anyway Cataplut vinyl online sell them and ive already asked them where they get them from and they didnt know Hmmmm yes im sure, anyway if u read on this forum somewhere loads of people have named places all over the UK that are selling these CD's.

Ive got a few different ones including mark eg, mzone & hixxy. On the hixxy one the mc says its recorded live at die hard. Ive seen them for sale allover the place. Its not fair if they havent got the dj's permission to sell them as the mixing is generaly quite poor on most of the ones ive heard. If I find out any more ill let you guys know.

Yeah ive got couple of mark eg one's-sorry mark didn't realise they were dodgy!!!
they were from acorn records, yeovil, (£4.99 each or 2 for £8.99 or summat).
when i got them home and listened 2 'em, i was dissapointed cos they didn't sound like anything id heard mark play b4, real sh1t sound quality aswell. id be gutted if anyone sold stuff that they were claiming was me in shops, specially when its not up 2 standard. :x

[darkstar]

Yes and some of them even cut out and go directly to another track like as if its 2 totally different mixes

[DJ Corbzy]

yeah ive got a few...dont know if this is true or not...but i heard it was a guy in guernsey doin it...not for sure though...the mixes do cut into another track quite alot...they are shit quality...mark - i still have that copy of it for you if you want it.....i lost your address...corbzy@hotmail.com if you want me to send?

Swannie m8, you work in weymouth hifi dont ya...could you fix my mixer and how much would it cost...? mail me or sumfing...and we'll have a chat..its just me dodgy crossfader and i dont know whether to buy a new one..you best have a look at it innit!!

Also..has mark confirmed whether he is playing in weymouth yet..cos i would like to know the date..if its in feb and on a fri..theres a good chance it will clash with a night since there is a good night on most fris in feb...

[Elle]

Theres a board outside Players (metro bar) sayin that marks playin on the 7th feb. im not gonna miss this one!! (although shame about the venue!)

[Elle]

um... just spoke to mark, its not true!! Must be his drug dealing double again?!

[Hakka.]

Hardcore stuff.

[Dj Swannie]

Didnt think that mark would play at a club like that !
I used to be a resident there at group therapy, that was alright but it was full mostly of tossers that can't get into anyother clubs in weymouth !
Glad to hear it !

lol i've bought a few of these cd's and they ****in minted!

got mark e.g. vol. 3 (a big, purple grey's head made up from the cosmos)

mark e.g. vol: 6 (a full-body grey over a blue background)

m-zone vol: 7 (a picture of the universe and different planets)

the sound quality is excellent and the mixing is next to perfect.

i don't doubt there is other dodgy stuff going around though. i've noticed some new old-skool ones of clarkee and stuff coming up. they sounds like they've been encoded at a lower bitrate, and one i listened to had a crackling-vinyl sound all the way through it (that happens to be the sound as a poorly copied cd that doesn't spin perfectly in some stereos. bung it in your pc drive and they can play fine).

dunno if this is any help :lol:

[frequency]

frequency recordings and mark e.g are working together in a bid to relieve the country of all cheap and unofficial cds that are currently ripping him off. Check out www.frequency-recordings.co.uk for more info.

up to you:

official, mixed in the studio, top quality glass mastered
or
unofficial , mixed live by ?????, cheap & nasty cdr, unsupported by mark


thanks for your support

[Chazbloke]

i seen one on www.imorecords.co.uk other day .. site not open right now though, front page says maintanence...

[MARKEG]

spot on, thanx for the info guys.

but yes, i'm going to get up off my arse and sort this problem out. the first step in place has been this new frequency recordings cd above. it'll be a studio mix that is mixed properly and i'm happy with. i'm trying to get ahold of copies of the bootleg cd's as we speak, cause i just want to know if the quality is actually ok. if they don't seem too bad - well there's no harm in them being out there.

but i do need to know where they're being recorded from. at least if i know that i can approach the club and sort out some sort of deal with them (they need to know what they've done is wrong though)... that way it can say 'recorded live @ xxxxx' and i also get to know that my set is being recorded that particular time i play.

it would be nice to know that don't you think?!!!!!!
