Okay, so most of you will probably think this is a stupid question, but it bothers me anyway... Whenever I buy a CD i almost immediately remove the price-stickers from the box, because they annoy me very much. BUT, i like to keep the "original" stickers... the one that (i presume) the record-company puts there. Like for instance on Druqks there is a sticker that says there are "30 new tracks" on that album... i'm keeping that one. So today I bought both "go plastic" and "my red hot car ep" by squarepusher. And on both those cd's there is an almost identical sticker on the back. I have Go Plastic here next to me... it says: 80500852 squarepusher go plastic 1 (barcode) Now it's been bugging me if this is an "original" sticker, or if the recordstore put it there? ;-) You can laugh if you want, but if it turns about to have been put there by Warp i wanna keep it... otherwise i'm taking it off :-p |

lol! i came across the very same squarepusher sticker the other day! well, i had removed it, but i was thinking the same thing you are, doubting its origine and all... :) |
||||||||

|
|
youll be shocked to know that i take out the cd and the front cover...and throw the rest in the trash |
||||||||
|

|
|
my go plastic was bought from a local record emporium,and that had no stickers at all. i think you can peel without regret my friend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

hm, if it was exactly the same sticker... it couldn't have been a sticker from my local recordstore :-D That settles it, it's staying on there ;-) And yes Zeus, that does shock me! How do you keep your cd's scratch-free without the jewelcase? And what about the back-cover? it often contains the tracklisting! You throw the tracklisting in the trash? Crazy :-p I treasure my cd's in their original casings! |

peel peel peel |
||||||||

|

|

but netlon sentinel found the same sticker!? Probably the recordstore where you bought it (hannibal), dropped your copy of go plastic or whatever, and replaced the broken cover with a new (and thus sticker-free) one. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i bought it in leiden at plato or velvet, maybe it's the same store? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i put the front cover and the cd in a large cd case i dont have enough room to keep all the cases for all the cds i have and as far as track listings... i just pop that cd into my iMAC, and it goes on the net and automatically gets the track names off the net |

surrounded, this topic made me laugh. I do exactly the same thing. so you may be sad, but at least you're not alone :) check out the design of other stickers on cds in the store you got 'em from. if they look similar they'll be the store stickers. probably the store stuck the wrong ones on one of the cds you got. if in doubt, keep 'em there. Or peel them off, attach them to an easy-peel backing paper and put them inside the sleeve inlay :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
Wow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

what?! pumpkinland means holland? :-p I hadn't realized you were dutch. Yeah I also bought the CD from Plato in Leiden. This changes everything! I now think it's probably a Plato-sticker. However I also bought Music is rotted one note and Maximum Priest EP yesterday, and they didn't have that sticker. I guess I'll have to do what xceque said and look at other CD's @ Plato. Or make a fool of myself and ask someone behind the counter about that sticker ;-) But I have the same "if in doubt, keep 'em there"-policy. I mean I can always peel it off later, but I'll never be able to put it back just as neat as it is now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Not having enough room is a pretty good argument... cd-collections DO take an awful lot of space actually. But I would never be able to make myself throw away the back cover. I consider the entire cd-package a work of art. It would make me so sad if I missed a part of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Zeus, I used to put the booklets in my CD "leather book container thing" but they made the amount of space in each sleave a lot tighter, and subsequently my cd's would get scratched just by puting them in and taking them out. So I stopped doing that, and luckily before I got into Aphex Twin so all those CDs are still pristine! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree! it is art. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i also agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha no pumpkinland means i dig good music ;) yeah i thought you might have bought it in leiden, as you're from alphen :) peel it off, man. i did |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh? So it is more like smashingpumpkinland? ;-) Or am I missing a point here? Anyways, yeah I have to go to Leiden for good music. Sadly the best recordstore in Alphen is probably Free Record Shop... nuff said... (sigh). Also I E-mailed Plato about the sticker. So hopefully when they reply we'll know where the sticker came from. ;-) I'm still hesitating to peel it off... it reminds me of the sticker on "2 remixes by AFX", and that sticker was pretty much the entire artwork :-/ So I treasure that one. It's nice to see other people also consider the CD-covers more than just a way to wrap the cd's and think of them as art! I'm still getting used to the minimalistic aproach most IDM-artist use for their artwork... I used to listen to alternative rock, and those albums always come with nice fat booklets full of lyrics and stuff... it was somewhat of a shock to find Aphex Twin and Squarepusher don't use more than a single piece of paper...not a booklet. But I still like them! The Go Plastic cover looks absolutely great in my opinion :-) |

you assume correctly, george :) the art works are the only reason i buy cds, these days, instead of just burning them to cdr. emailing plato is close to exaggerating the whole thing, man ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm exactly the same! When I got my drukqs promo the sticker was on the shrinkwrap- not the jewel case so I carefully peeled it off and put it on the case in the same corner it had been when it was on the wrapping. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, yreah me too. also beacause otherwise the cd would be hard to identify, anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
george is happy he was right ;-) Yeah, awfully close to exaggerating, LOL I know, but i can't help myself. I'd never forgive myself if I peeled it off and later found it wasn't a plato-sticker. But i realize it is rather silly... I opened up the tray earlier today, to take out the backcover and see what was under the sticker... just another barcode! :-p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Somehow it just doesn't feel "real" to me if I just have a downloaded album burned to CD-R... I can only truly enjoy it if i have the actual CD with the artwork! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's prolly just a dutch barcode replacing the english barcode. i think plato orders at warp, just like we do, at warprecords.com |
||||||||

You've been sucked into the artificial desire for authentic commodities. I bet the record companies have a good wank when they hear stuff like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

when i bought NIN's downward spiral there was also a shrinkwrap around that, with a sticker about the explicit content (not the famous black and white one). It wouldn't peel off, so I carefully cut it out with a pair of scissors... To this day I've still kept it... neatly tucked away inside the lyrics-booklet :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's so artificial about that desire?? |

I enjoy GBA games that are copied- but not to the same extent as the originals. I don't know, it's probably that I don't fell the need to play them as much... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
now this about a 4 on the boringmeter |
||||||||
|
|

doesn't play it again sam (PIAS) take care of distribution for Warp in these parts of europe? I always assumed the Warp CD's were delivered to stores thru them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe. my go plastic doesn't mention pias, though. im just guessing, mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how exactly do you copy a GBA advance game?.... its not exactly in cd format.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GB advance or GBA.... whatever =p |
||||||||

You can get blank rewritable carts that link to PCs that you can DL .gba files to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Okay, so Plato mailed me back :-) They wrote: >Hoi Erik, > >Deze sticker is niet van ons en zat er dus al op! > >Met vriendelijke groet, > >Wim, Which means: Hi Erik, This sticker is not from us, so it was already on there when we got it! Kind regards, Wim Wow... ;-) Glad i didn't peel it off yet! :-p My sticker is staying on there FOREVER! |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha :-p Dank je! Na deze hele tread en dat mailtje enzo vind ik het nu eigenlijk een NOG leukere sticker ;-) Nu zit er een heel verhaal aan vast. |
