...do this: I often take releases that I have either bought second hand and have missing/damaged sleeves, that come in unusual "uncrateable" sizes like "Drukqs" ,or that have just become battered with age, and make my own. I've got loads of plain white card 12" and 7" sleeves (and paper inserts) that I bought in bulk ages ago and I tend to draw on these. Either my own artwork or things from stickers to do with the artist/release. I'll often also put info that's useful when DJing, such as RPM for each side, tracklising, BPM of tracks, description of which track/side a particular sample I use a lot is, etc. Aside from the pragmatic and aesthetic aspects, it helps me ID releases V. quickly when flicking through a crate, rather than actually having to read the artist/title on each one or look at the small circular hole in the middle and read the info on the record label. I also think it helps from a collector's POV; not only does it mean you're not tempted to write these things on the original sleeves records (I'm sure most people have written an ID on white labels, despite this devaluing them), but the original sleeves can be put in storage. I certainly don't do this for all releases, only done a dozen or so, so far, but doing more as and when I have time. |

haha, I tried to replicate the joyrexJ9 label, using regular aluminum foil, but it looked crap, and not at all like depicted below. no wonder seeing as it is printed on the original as for noting down rpms and such, no I don't do that. never had any use for it basically, I think its the only thing I use that mental space remembering technique, it almost never fails |

Technical explanation of how I generally label the sleeves with "DJ Friendly" info. The only thing I forgot to cover was that the brackets around certain tracks show they go well in succession/mix together well. The blue lines between the tracks on the left hand side (not sure if you can make them out in the pics) correspond to white markings I made on the record to aid quick cueing. |

I've done Drukqs (see top left corner of the 4 sleeve pic). I plan to do AFX/LFO split EP next and then Analord next. I'll post some more pics (hopefully better quality) next week. Enjoy. NB: The artwork on that last pic is a snake eating itself; the sign for infinity. This shows it's a lock grooved record. For some reason I've done my mixtools with animals in the artwork; this helps part of the very quick visual sorting when flicking through crates at speed. Lots of references to the art on the record sticker in the cover; IE the green of the snake and the texture of it mimicks the green texture on the sticker. Same with that Illicit record; it's the artwork on the sticker "remixed" and drawn to a much larger scale. |

I'd switch to cd's, much too much trouble. come to think of it, I do actually own quite a lot of vinyl, most of which I have never heard, seeing as I don't have the means to play them. what a git. |

hahah :) looks alright. i used to make my own tape inlays back in school, i didn't like the original ones. |

I stick to the original sleeves.. got a few where I can't pick them up without the record rolling out a random side, but they're not really that important... |

Oh yeah, so you're collecting records without listening to them. Do you really care about music ? |

i have a few white labels which ive used a permo on, usually stuff like "is shit" or "throw out" though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i write on all of my white labels and any record that doesnt clearly say A or B side on it. i don't really care if it devalues them because i'm not buying music so i can look at it for some years and then sell it, i bought it so i could listen to it and pretend to be a dj |

Yeah, my warped copy of "Hee Haw Breaks" has "This shit is ruined" scrawled on it. |
