Nissing Words DJ/hole punched version

[Paul Rodgers]

Hi all

 

I've just uploaded a new file that I can't find on the main site.

 

It's the Nissing Words miss-press, but with the centre punched out, European or Jukebox style.

 

Not the most exciting discovery I know, but it would be good if everything 2Tone ended up on the site.

 

I have one of these spare if anyone is interested and wants to make me an offer.

 

Cheers

Aha, that's an interesting story. Of course some records come ready dinked.

I wonder who it was had a love of dinking the mis-pressed Nissing Words?

Last week I learnt the difference between a quarry and a mine, this week
I've learned what that big hole in a record is called. I literally can wait
for next week's useless bit of new knowledge!!


Cheers



Jason

Technically speaking Nissing Words is not a mis-press because all re-
issues of Missing Words were pressed as such.

Must have been a pretty cool juke box to have had Missing Words in
it , though.

Donkeys years ago there was a greasy spoon type cafe in the town where
I lived which had the old style juke box which played 7" vinyl
records. I was friendly with the son of the owner of this place and
one day he showed me a contraption which looked like something short
of a Medieval torture device. After a few minutes guessing exactly
what the hell it was, the bloke in question produced a 7" single (OK
Fred by Errol Dunkley, if I recall) slapped it this mysterious device

pulled a lever, twisted something on it a few times and out popped the

Thanks for that.

My next question, literally because I can't remember the answer to it:

Were any of the paper labels ever reissued? I seem to recall that at one
time TT5 (The Beat) was really hard to get on paper label and then it
suddenly became relatively easy (maybe around 1985?).

Is my mind playing tricks on me? I know that at the time Chrysalis was
trying to claw back every penny because of the cost of In The Studio and the
failure of all the new material (except Nelson Mandela) as there were only
about 3 of us actually still buying 2Tone releases by then!


Cheers

With the exception of Gangsters none of the singles were re-issued on
paper label. By 1985 the Made In France re-issues were beginning to
dried up. By then Chrysalis were well along the way of turning 2
Tone, at least on the album front, into a vehicle for them to release
old material.

Your mind may very well be playing tricks on you because TT5 is A
Message To You Rudy!!! You are right about buying material on 2 Tone
in 1985. It was a very lonely past time by then.

[Paul Rodgers]

D'oh. yeah I mean TT6 don't I? That'll teach me to rely on my memory!

I don't even recall seeing The Friday Club's record in shops. I'm sure that
was one I had to get a few years later when I started travelling regularly
to collectors' shops and record fairs in London.

As for why I bought The Higsons or The Apollinaires? Purely for the label. I
thought the music was utter cack! With the latter, I even have to look up
how to spell their name after all these years.

Cheers

I was in NJ by 85 and travelling to NY City a lot to seek out the missing TT
numbers - I was amazed at how much of it was around once I went to all the
little cut out shops - every single was available in the 100s - nissing
words, paper labels, swinging cats, bodysnatchers, the lot. It was like a
warehouse had unloaded all its old import 45s into any shop it could. It's
possible that the sudden appearance of records near you was similar, old
stock getting cut-out and sold off cheap in bulk. I still remember the shop
that had over 50 copies of Elvis Costello single, but even then they wanted
$100 each! Almost every other release was $1 or so...but Elvis TT single was
already known as rare

I don't own any of the UK releases of the Higsons, Apolinaires, Friday
Club or JB All Stars. I think I can also safely say that I have never
played any of these tracks in their entirety when they have appeared
on CD compilations.

For me It was all over the for label after Jungle Music.
