FBD Project - Breakin Up / The Core mp3 album

Nothing short of Fucking Large, but much prefer the breaking up track.

In response to my comment on November 16th 2015, Neil Trix commented below, (Thanks for commenting Neil) Nobody is suggesting anyone is lying, but i am simply making it very clear that all of the pressings i officially paid for had NO labels on them. Any copies that have a label were never pressed, or paid for by myself apart from the 10x TP's delivered for approval. Back in the early 90's there was no internet (like we have today) and communication with record stores was minimal, this was left to the distributors, knowing a potential problem was happening was hard to confirm. You seem to be approaching this from the completely wrong angle.... Maybe the distributor pressed some without my knowledge, maybe the record plant did, maybe the mastering house who had the metalwork did... who knows.. who cares...i dont... If you were pressing / selling vinyl back then you would be aware of the goings on.Thanks.So Neil is saying the test presses of which there are 10 have labels on them, so the Discography notes on this page http://www.discogs.com/FBD-Project-Breakin-Up-The-Core/release/203855 are wrong as they state the test presses have no labels, different to what Neil has said. Learn something new everyday.So infact we have ended up with alot of new information and indeed questions about the test presses because if Neil never took the labels off these, and he hasn't said he did, then what is a test press and what isn't among the unofficial bootlegs? Potentially you could also take the label off your unofficial copy and claim it was an Official copy!! So it would seem there is more to this, it would have been nice if Neil confirmed how many Official presses were pressed too but hey ho, not to worry. like i say, learn something new everyday.

It's all weird isn't it. My copy has white (not pinkish) labels. I definitely bought it when it came out (if it came out!). I vividly recall playing it at a free party in a derelict bungalow in the New Forest in the same set that I played Valley of the Shadows and Tango and Fallout, which were both newish at the time. Bit of a shame if Neil never got anything for the pressing and sale of these, but I suppose that was far from a rare thing either!

I have exactly the same pink TP. And def bought in 93!

Perhaps Neil Trix could enlighten us some more as you could purchase these copies with the Pink Label one side and the White Label on the other side back in 1993..If you look at some of the replies to the comments listed here a few people confirm that too..If these where unofficialy pressed back in 1993 then Neil Trix must have an idea where they came from?..My copy is exactly as i have described here and the etchings in the run out groove are the same as woodyglobaluk announces, they are not freshly etched either and age can be seen also in the labels. It would be good Neil if you could clarify if you think these copies were pressed later than 1993 because people were purchasing these particular presses from record shops at that time!! I certainly do not think that these presses are a recent addition, furthermore VINYL2GO-JUNGLE on this site is selling a copy and claiming this is from DJ Phantasy's collection..There is no reason to believe that VINYL2GO-JUNGLE is lying, so with that said DJ Phantasy was a Bootleg vinyl buyer back in 1993, is that what we are saying?!! There should be more clarification as to the origins of these so called Bootlegs as it seems a rather grey area, i remember Bootleg remixes from back in the day which were happening real time such as the Edge Of Darkness/ Jonny L Come Together and Hurt You So Bootleg Mixes but real time Bootlegs of a tune just released?? Why was there no recall of these either Neil if you were aware of them??WEIRD!!!!!Incidentally how many copies of the black no label (Official) vinyl's were pressed?More questions than answers!!!

reminds me of zero b lock up ,i was talking to the promotor at roller express when zero b came on and he laughed said people thought there were only 500 copies of it but a few bootleg runs of 500 at a time had been done on it cos it was popular, identical to the official ones

are you shure pink label is unofficial?

I highly doubt it. I'm calling BS on this one.

My copy of this has the pink label both sides too. I don't know when these bootlegs were supposed to have been pressed but my copy of this was purchased back in late 93, start of 94 from the old ruby red records shop in wolverhampton.

White label version confirmed as a bootleg on Dug's interview with Neil Trix - Friday 10th Jan 2014

My copy has the same pinkish label one side as my copy of WG 001 D.S.K.F New Science Ep and then an off white label the other side with FBD Project written in pen with Rough To Smooth written on the same side. The etchings are *-JTS-* and BT 003 A on one side and the flip is *-JTS-* BT 003 AA. The sound quality on a big system is fine no bass loss, so if this is a bootleg someone has either pressed it from the original DAT or done a fantastic job of re-mastering it and making the labels look 20 years old. As for the quality of the tunes well lordy what a couple of great examples of early dark amen jungle. My number 1 is The Core based on the fact it was part of my all time number 1 set Jungle Fever Dj Red Ant and Mc Fearless. Mixed with I Bring You The Future made for each other. Timeless.

I have the pink and white and bought in 93

I think bootleg in the terms of "vinyl rip" is wrong these are just unoficial press's that Neil had no idea of probably were cut not long after the original black labels ..an inside job more than likely?!

I agree, i bought my pinkish label on one side copy back in 93 from Wax City Records

The white is defiantly not a bootleg as I picked this up back in 93'.
