totally with u Alex. I remember reading 30 copies.

I think the e-mail I posted up as well at least proves a figure of around that number "a small number of limited test pressing" and everyone seems to miss the point in that e-mail, right at the end it says. "NEVER for general release"

So how/why is it still for sale? It would of surely sold out by now
mate, after 2 years of it being on sale it would have definitely sold out....even if the 'small number' was 100. all he has to do it sell 50 of them a year...i just dont get y people are on his side for this after being shafted...?

I agree strongly with this. All the Karim tunes i own from the present and going way back are very poorly mastered. What the fuck is the man playing at? I, foolishly, paid £30 for one of these and am quite dissappointed that its shite quality. No amount of corrective equalising is going to fix the problem with that pressing. It the same with Columbia, Shut Up, U Have Control, Afraid Of Us. He's taking the piss! thumbsdownscrewuthumbsdown


Pasion records PURPOSELY make their records sound like this, no one ever has a go at them!?

Maybe you did but Karim didn't say it.  How is he at fault if someone comes on here and says that?

What's a small number?  Surely that's relative to what is the normal amount for a pressing?

It's not on geneal release, it's on his website.

GREAT! That does not negate the fact that it would be so mych nicer if they got someone who is not capable of sucking their own genitals to make the master pressing. Why the fuck would any label in their right mind deliberately press a record to sound shit. Does it make it more "UNDERGROUND" for you hapless NRG wheeny!!!screwu

If you go by that e-mail FROM HIM, that I just posted. "I also have a small number of limited one-sided test pressings of the
following, which will NEVER be on general release: "

How can they ave not ave sold out in 1 and half - 2 years for the amount of people that wank over karim?

Dont add up mate.

Karim has said, no. So what. That's all he said. In reply to alex him to e-mail him. Why? In other words he wants it hush hush.

Well I reckon u e-mail him Alex and see if u even get a response.

they are still not "general release" so only a few DJ's and collectors will get them. If you are thinking along these lines, ie. "i must have it for my collection" even for the shit tunes, maybe you are getting them for the wrong reason.  I'm not saying that as a dig, but if you like a tune and the general retail price is £30 when it comes out then it's got to be worth it hasn't it?

i reiterate the point above - this thread is just sour grapes. if it riles you that more people than you thought have this tune and it is all about having a tune that no-one else has got rather than on whether the tune is any good or not, then you're approaching this all wrong m8.

Another point worth mentioning: Do you think TIDY know about this, or even SOLID STATE (whoever owns the copyright)? Surely they would sue his ass immediately if they knew he was selling an un-licensed remix for £30?

Well I aint gettin pissed off about having people having rare tunes which I might have. I for one didnt buy them. Their fuckin shit remixes so can hardly justify thier price even if they were limited

Maybe its STILL for sale because contrary to what you MAY believe, maybe that limit Hasnt sold out!? you cant prove it either way pal. and while you cant this will go round and round, untill you find somewhere where it did say this wass only 30 OR prove that more then that have been sold!!

tp answer your question,Im on his side because, i like his sets, i like his tunes, we have booked him for our club loads of times, hes always turned up(more then can be said for some) and has always rocked it, hes a nice bloke to boot, and thus i have never felt "shafted" by hring him or buying his tunes etc. When you like something you tend to have a bit of loyalty towards it.
Saying that though, i have never bought one of the £30 tracks, and probably wouldnt, as personally i would rather buy 5 tunes for the same price. that however is my choice, the same as its pother choices TOO buy it!!

A limited pressing of which 30 were available from 1 other source.

As he's asked you to email him for more information then I don't see why everyone is second guessing.

very true mate. but am just making the point that some people like that distorted bass line, yet when one person does it its shit and fraudulent and when another does it its deemed good?!. Wheter its £6 or £30, it still sells.
