Fake $2 vinyl records that are actually real?

[@Xottapchenko]

Seeing Junko Yagami in “fake Amazon records” almost made my heart skip a beat. She’s a marvelous singer, a true icon of Japanese city pop, and it’s often hard to find her records outside Japan for a good price.

[@tw_judy]

The labels feel like a mix of "completely fake labels made for this purpose" and "chopped up concert posters."

[@ILoveWomen]

The one with the pounds had lorem ipsum. Definitely was a free template for someone to use to advertise their own club. And then the others, like you say, were chopped up concert / gig posters that someone in china must have found doing an image search. Super neat imo

[@zpxlng]

Not even real event posters, just templates with filler text - you can even see a block of Lorem ipsum at 3:47. They're probably free templates on one of those cheerful-looking online design apps like Canva.

The Marilyn Monroe label says "Fluss Ohne Wiederkehr" on it, that's the German title for "River of No Return", which is indeed a Movie starring Marilyn Monroe.

[@TheAmishGamer]

I think they’re “promos for promos”, and were made by an event promotion merchandise manufacturer, to send out to venues, to say “Hey, we can make your flyers look like vinyl records for just x amount of cents per unit!”, with generic “Imagine your business name here!” kind of labels.. one for more “trendy” clubs, one for rock and alternative nights, one for retro ‘60s vinyl nights etc.

[@frankowalker4662]

Back in the 80's there was a second hand books and records shop near me, I would go in about once or twice a month and buy a bag of 20 or so LP's for next to nothing. There were some quite good albums from artists I've never heard of before or since. (and a lot of utter crap. lol)

[@KurtWoloch]

@@frankowalker4662 I can remember there were bargain bins where they sold 7"'s for about 20% of the normal price which wouldn't sell otherwise. The catch was they were tuckered close so you couldn't listen to them in advance. But I bought quite a few of those, and some were actually pretty nice. Some of them had unknown songs by artists I knew, so I took a chance on them, and there was a specific one among those that still puzzles me - "Tu" by Umberto Tozzi - because it's actually a pretty well-known song which you can still hear on the radio today here in Vienna. I bought another batch in the early 90's when they sold off unsold singles by local artists which were a few years old, which you actually could consider rarities because they got some airplay when they were released, but failed to chart highly, still I could remember them.

The surviving Beastie Boys in a recent interview described a time they were high and took their Paul's Boutique gold record down from the wall to play it and found it was some old Japanese piano recording. So apparently Japanese surplus vinyl is the way to go if you want something that looks like authentic vinyl for decoration.

[@dogmosatchmo]

A record shop I frequented in the early 90s had a gold record of the Beatles Love Songs in a frame. The owner decided to play it, and it was a flute album. A God awful crazy person playing the flute. We never did figure out what it was exactly. But I'll never forget his facial expression when those first notes came out of the speaker. Fun times.

[@JohnDlugosz]

I remember hearing that the "gold record" trophy was never _that_ record, but might be an older gold record or some random album.

[@mogmason6920]

A mate of mine bought one of those replica gold records off the internet a while back. He decided to play it out of curiosity, expecting it to not be the original artist. It ended up being a children’s audiobook of Cinderella! What was really shocking was how clear the audio was, even with the gold paint over the grooves!

[@KeritechElectronics]

Fake records. whaaaaaaaaaaat?! Reminds me of fake books. All the things people do to keep up the appearances, signal sophistication to the unknowing eye.

RIAA gold record awards are fake records...sorta. A well-trained eye will spot that the grooves don't match the album. The Beastie Boys removed theirs for Paul's Boutique, played it, and heard a piano version of..."Feelings" by Morris Albert. Next time you spot a gold record plaque, think about what could've been. And if you like me find a grocery store auctioning one of those fake Led Zeppelin gold record awards, inspect the grooves-cause chances are they may be real records but with nothing but **white noise** recorded in the grooves. 19:40 the 7" 33 format never really died. It became more of a novelty, a promotional format or a cheap way to add bonus tracks to an album, for example Stevie Wonder's beloved _Songs in the Key of Life_ and the _Close Encounters of the Third Kind_ soundtrack. In Canada 7" 33 records seemed to endure as promotional products-record dealers like Sam the Record Man, for instance, offered them as samplers.

These 12 inch house singles were so cool. Btw, people do not realize how common the 12 inch single format is.

I love the rainstorm in the background.
