Mike De Lorenzo Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) 13 hours ago, candyflip said: Not quite. The US retailers did this to mark albums that were being returned to the suppliers, unsold. They were called 'cut outs', and much like books and magazines used to be, the retailer could return unsold stock from their shops for credit, while the suppliers went on to wholesale these 'cut out's' for a significant margin reductions to bulk buyers, who then retailed them again at a retail discount. To my knowledge, this was never done with vinyl records in Australia, and certainly not with US pressings (which were relatively rare in this country in the 80's) - the far majority of our retailed stock was local, lest it be sourced overseas and then marked 'imported', and that retailed at significant extra cost. 12 hours ago, April Snow said: Very interesting, but this was purchased from an Aussie, unless they brought it in the US and brought it here with them maybe, but they said they brought it here like that back at that time? Who knows - the thing with preloved vinyl - they hold secrets of their journey I guess. Just as a side note - I mentioned it to a friend of mine in the UK and she said in the UK the record shops there would do that too to on the covers to show the imports. Guess the secret is with the record now I don't care either way really, whatever it's story is - it is a near mint copy and they are hard to find from 1984. Thanks for the reply. 10 hours ago, Full Range said: I have several LPs with corner cuts or hole stamped I always thought after speaking to some industry people - that those records were sample or promo units that were given to DJs and people in the recording industry yes here in the states... A cut corner... Are and were known to be called cut outs.. at deep discounts... Or in the Bargain bin...

hlov Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 This album changed my life . A salesperson from an audio shop in Sydney played this album for me when testing my old turntable as in my opinion it didn’t sound good and I was so impressed how good my TT can sound and I told him that I have seen that album many times on the record shops and he told me “I’m pretty sure no this one” and then he explained me that it was an special pressing and also explained me about the whole setup pre-amp, power amp, speakers. I have had several copies of the album looking the “special one” I was very happy with the Japanese but then got the one in the picture, a first US pressing but then I was told in the forum that there’s a half speed pressing which is the one to have. At the same time I started upgrading my gear. The music is pretty good as well, Boz Scaggs - Silk degrees 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
