That‘s a really interesting turn of events. At least that‘s some useful information about the label if true. Then I have to wonder, though, why they mimicked the original 1994 promo’s vinyl label so closely, even down to the supposed record label „Subway“? Why not be transparent from the beginning that it is a modern release from Notalkin Recordings? Edit: To be clear, I‘m not blaming the manufacturer Berliner Vinylwerk for all this „confusion“. I am grateful that they stepped up and put some clarity into this.

Maybe I could understand this behaviour if it were sellers with thousands of items on offer, but this is clearly not the case here (and even then it‘d be strictly prohibited). Especially Gas, as he only has a handful of records for sale, so no one can tell me he couldn‘t create a dedicated release for this obvious re-issue that he was charging 280 € for. Furthermore, they only added that disclaimer after hlennarz had complained to them as they‘re probably fearing refund requests after buyers realize it‘s not the real thing. I find it shady how even now they are defending this thing as if it was the original release, but „improved“. Doesn‘t make any sense at all, except for trying to fool potential buyers into falling for this.

Let‘s say I enabled them an opportunity to sell the item on the correct release page this time 😉

Will you keep your copy anyway or will you return it since you’ve been offered this option? Another quality issue is that despite being a possible mp3 sourced recording, of course it’s practically unprovable, it might’ve been just low-passed, the sound could’ve been also post-processed, like auto declicked, denoised which potentially even further decrease audio quality if not used wisely. We can’t tell from the YouTube video, it sounds pretty bad there, but it is just 480p, so the audio track bitrate must be quite low too. Those high bitrate mp3 files that used to be offered on his website could give us some idea about the sound. If the original audio tracks are not available anymore, he could’ve tried to re-record these tracks, that wouldn’t be the same as the original but certainly a nice approach in my opinion, and of course being clearly stated to be a reissue. Daft is right that it’s against the Discogs policies to sell something under a different entry, e.g. you cannot sell a cassette under a CD or vinyl release page with a note like “WARNING: This is a tape, NOT a CD/LP”. Actually such listings may be reported, but I understand not everyone is keen on submitting a release they just want to sell and I’m personally fine with that if sellers are honest and clear about that in the notes, some sellers even warn you after you place an order, so they can cancel it if you overlook their notes and don’t want it. There is a reasonable argument for heavy weight vinyl, 180 g or even 240 g, that is they are less prone to warping, but if they do, they are nearly impossible to straighten, though I personally don’t put much faith in these techniques. It certainly doesn’t sound any better, though some audiophiles belive it.

Welp, now the guys from Berliner Vinylwerk have changed the release page on Discogs with description text: "This release was issued in January 2024 under the Notalkin Recordings label, owned by Daniele Gas, with catalog number NT002. It is a limited edition of Experiments Vol 1, featuring a white label and audio remastered from the 1994 version. The vinyl has been meticulously cut onto a 180g support, and the cover is white with a distinctive hole, accompanied by a white inner sleeve coated in plastic."
