Non-factory press???

[Cotton Candy Lover]

I've noticed this classification on several ebay auctions. Was wondering what it meant. Does that mean that it's a cdr?? Anybody?

[Stacey0471]

Sounds like it. Self-financed for sale at gigs maybe?

Yes, it means it's a cdr. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bootleg or an unofficial release, but it does mean that it's a cdr.

Another question, Sandi, if I may. For some HTM auctions, it refers to the cd as a cdr. The HTM cds look rather professionally done. Were they originally factory pressed? I mean, sometimes it's an obvious cdr (CreEPshow comes to mind). Just wondering about those. Thanx.

LYCAN, I CAN TALK ABOUT BUBBLEGUM STARZ (MY CREATURE) BUT IT'S NOT SO DIFFICULT (OR PERHAPS I GOT SOME TALENT) TO MAKE A DECENT COVER!!! IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT I NEVER GOT A COIN AND ANYONE CAN SAY "MARKY SOLD ME B.S." BUT WHEN I TRANSFERRED THESE DEMOS FROM TAPES TO CD AND I SHARED IT WITH A FEW OF MY BEST FRIENDS (MOSTLY GNET'S MEMBERS) I SAID "WHY NOT GIVE'EM A GOOD LOOKIN COVER!!! BTW I'VE TO BE PROUD OF ALL THOSE FRIENDS WHO KEPT THIS STUFF SECRET AND OUT OF EBAY FUCKERS CUZ I'M NOT SURE IF ALL THE SHIT OFFERED IN EBAY IS BEING SOLD WITH THE ORIGINAL COVER AND THE SPECIAL AUDIO TREATMENT I GAVE TO THOSE SONGS!!!
DOESN'T IT LOOK PRETTY...???

Hey, ya know I built a fine summer home in France with the profits I made off of selling Marky's stuff on eBay, so if you have a problem with that, write to me in France and I'll maybe read your stuff!

Just kidding...Dan actually sent me the copy of the HTM stuff that I have been selling on eBay...and that bastard charged me $50 for it!

STOP JOKING YA BASTARD!!! OR I'M GONNA INVADE YER FRENCH HOME WITH ALL THE 80'S HAIRMETAL POWER!!! I'M STEALING NOW ONE OF MY COMPANY'S AIRPLANES TO PUT THE 1ST BUNCH OF THOUSANDS RELEASES TO FRANCE!!! LOL!!!

Lycan,

Yes, the original Heart Throb Mob cds (just "Hit List" and "Eat Your Heart Out") were original, factory pressed silver cds, not cdrs.

I agree with Marky...With the right programs, you can make very professional looking covers rather easily. Marky and I both make covers for tons of our stuff.
