 Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:05 pm Post subject: Question about licensed vinyls |
 |
|
| In a previous post someone from Niji made sure that the Niji vinyl re-releases where always made from analog or original digital tapes. But what about all the licensed vinyl releases from the likes of Back on Black records or Night of the Vinyl Dead Records - does Niji guarantee that they are also taken from original masters? |

| I wouldn't buy those Italian/Greek Night of the living vinyl releases. Those are crap bootlegs. |

Really?! How can they go on claiming it's officiall and why doesn't any of the big acts' manager go out and tell people not to buy their records? I'm surprised noone from Niji replied to my post when I made it a couple of months ago. |

| I don't know why, but those guys are dodgy. Although they "might" be "official"...they deal in/manufacture alot of counterfeits records(fakes) of Kiss, Iron Maiden etc vinyl and pretend them to be Japanese vinyl |

| That sure sounds dodgy, but still it's a fact that some of their vinyls are pretty cool, for example "Killing the dragon" with a pop-up dragon sleeve or an Alice Cooper album which folds out to be a strait jacket. I'd still be interested to know what masters they use but alas they don't reply to my emails regarding this - which is pretty dodgy too. |

| ah man, you asked them what kind of master tape they using and they don't reply? that IS dodgy. They're probably using a damn cd and direct to vinyl. |

| Exactly - that sure is dodgy. What puzzles me is that Niji which claims to have such high quality control licensed Ronnie's stuff to them. |
