Yeah you're right Yankee... "... printer of choice..." was maybe a tad generous. Subcontracting and parallel orders would have been commonplace with high demand, just as in any business... These damn inlays, though... Will we ever get to the bottom of them and really find out who printed what for which record company...? Especially when many inlays do not give any printer credit whatsoever... The only true way to find out would be to get hold of someone who worked for either the printers or the record companies during the periods discussed... Or alternatively, get hold of some of the internal documentation from, for example, EMI, if it hasn't been shredded... I wrote to Virgin EMI but they haven't replied yet. I'll try to get a note to Delga to see if they can shed some light om the whole affair - I'll keep you posted ;)
.....nil desperandum BT, no use knocking yourself out, your input has been amazing thus far..............
......now I've massaged your ego a bit.........just enter what you know.
I stated before and I will state again, if no printer ID is visible, but you know who duplicated the tape, enter that information, with a note to that effect. More and more information will be uncovered as we move forward, who knows, a former journeyman printer, or a honcho at a tape duplicating might just join the fray, with all those tricky little kernels to enlighten us all with.
Think us lucky, US printers almost never added printing info. to picture sleeve 45s or LPs, let alone inlays for tapes, and their industry was/is enormous.......
I used to do business with a couple of printers years back as their Heating Engineer, but none printed any product relevant to the record industry to my knowledge.
I am a great believer in "something will always turn up", and we will be knee deep in useful information anytime soon............
