Still puzzled by Freshgrind...

[Si the Sigh]

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:

[Methodixxx]

Isn't it a watermark....?

[Numeric]

It is a cool little feature...

Who cares though when the music is so accomplished...

[Si the Sigh]

I care!! :lol:

[serox]

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 :)

[Si the Sigh]

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.

[Si the Sigh]

...I found out when my needle skipped! :doh: :lol:

[serox]

ahh one of those :) yeh i got aq old hardcore record like that, really confused me for a while as i had not seen anything like it before!

[Si the Sigh]

Whats the name of that hardcore tune. Its on the tip of my tongue! Argh!... Its an old one, around 91 - 92 init? :eh:

i know the one ... break beats? ... super fast? ... got some bird singing after inhaling some gas from balloons??? :lol:

[TechnoWhore]

Hmm...

I think Lawrie is doing summat different here. The old skool records were either picture discs (e.g. Lucky Spin, suburban Base special editions) or they were etched vinyl where if you hold it aginst the light, you see the picture (Rugged Vinyl, Tone Def etc)..

Too many came out them days to name 1 specific choooooooon tho!!

[serox]

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:

[basslinejunkie]

any1 noticed how thick the fresh grind vynil realese's are?!? u could do sum damage with dean roddels last 1!!! :lol:

[Si the Sigh]

I'd rather them thicker then thinner!!

[serox]

yes sound great, good quality. same as squat records, they all get done in hackney i guess

[dan the acid man]

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:

[Si the Sigh]

ha ha! :lol:

[dirty_bass]

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?

[Si the Sigh]

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? :?:

[anx]

probably has to do with the same method as making picture disks

[Si the Sigh]

...and how do they do that? :eh:

[dirty_bass]

picture discs are clear vinyl with the print sandwhiched in are they not?

[Si the Sigh]

Dunno? :eh: I'm confused now... :crackup:

[duncandisorderly]

call curved pressings and ask for lawrie and ask the man? sort it out one time!

[spunk breath]

call curved pressings and ask for lawrie and ask the man? sort it out one time!its done at the cutting stage,but it dont take a rocket scientist to work out how its done.
considering that the lacquer is made of acetate.
