Useless ....the same old story.....save your money.

That's a little harsh. Sure, the discography is imperfect, and there's nothing especially new in the feature. But what should we expect? It's a lot better than it could have been and is still notable to get such a substantial piece.

What did you expect? If you're a major fan of course you're going to know all the stories already.
Looking forward to reading this issue of RC. They do a good job most of the time.
Nobody has to buy it, but I am sure a lot will enjoy!
I thought the RC issue was interesting and well written. There are two pictures for the Pensylvanian Flickhouse shop burned vinyl. I know one was done by Anon but they must have created another one too.

not sure want you mean... can you post the pictures here?
One is on P76. Label has Emidisc on it.
One is P77. It has Tony Pike Music Ltd.
I will do second one again.
I'm also waiting for it ... looks like a nice issue. I do not expect tons of new revelations, though.
I also have the Anon digipak-CD. Ordered it some years back from the German fanclub.. Nice one!
I will do second one again.
Haha, that's funny! 
Because this is the fake label which I once photoshopped for April fool's day in 2009 in both the official and in the German forum: Link
Note the fingerprint. Seems I eventually fooled someone... 
When I saw that label in the article I knew that I had seen it somewhere before and then recalled that you had created it 
Yes, your reply the other day was very cool! 
The fact that Record Collector has now dug it up and considered it genuine does not cast a good light on this magazine...
LOL - well that’s ... cool somehow!
On the other hand, it makes you wonder how they did their research. Jonathan Dann - did they get in touch with you about the Anon stuff before they published the article?
I also would contact various fan sites ...
Still a nice story anyway
It's pretty funny. The fingerprint is hilarious, and yes, not a great look for a magazine called 'record collector'.
I also have this issue of RC, but my knowledge of this era (regarding releases) didn’t make me think this could be fake.
Great story indeed, made me laugh a bit. Not good for the reputation of the magazine, though...
I'm pretty sure if I hadn't posted this on April 1, every user would have been salivating profusely. But that would have been extremely dishonest, so I already knew that it would only work on those who didn't pay attention to the date.
I had found a few photos of these acetate singles with the "Tony Pike" label a few weeks earlier while doing internet research on the studio, all quite small and only with poor resolution (and of course with completely different music on them). But I therefore had reason to believe that the Pennsylvania Flickhouse acetate, long known to exist, also had such a label. I had then emailed the operator of one of these websites and asked him, on some pretext, to send me a high-resolution version of his scan after all. So the only thing that is not genuine is the inscription.
I can't remember the original, but it had enough letters to puzzle together "Pennsylvania Flickhouse" and "Anon". The fingerprint was also genuine.
The fingerprint was also genuine.
It's not yours?! I thought it was part of the joke! (As in, 'you can tell it's my work. My fingerprints are all over it')
