ok i think i solved it! ;)

Potential Bad Boy / Atomic Dog

The Spirit [iMO-2674]

Drum & Bass 12" [Ebony Recordings] EBR011

 

there was a series of tunes that came out looking like this (A, B and C although there may have been a D too) that i always thought were by shy.

 

this thing on IMO seems to be #11 and i posted a while ago about the C one which is mad apache remix and is EBR013. it would be safe to say that EBR012 is "B"

 

dunno whether these should be split from ebony as i never really considered them part of the label but perhaps they should all be kept together

This label still needs the correct cat nos put in place...we need to go by the etching of each one.

I'll have a look through to find exactly what's what seeing as I've forgotten

 

I think these should also be deleted from the Ebony page...or not??

 

 

Oooh I dunno about that. The cat no.s on them are definitely EBR cat numbers... and yes there was a 'D' - perhaps the least common of the lot but there were all a little rare, wernt they.

 

Checking my own, personal 'tarzan' database, created in Access years back when I.... (etc)

 

I have EBR013 and THATS the one that says B on the label...

 

I also have a 'mispress' of these with just a white label on both sides, and one etched EBR010AA and the other etched EBR013AA. A side (EBR010) is that "Certificate 15" tune (surely Shy FX) - wicked tune, if maybe a bit cheesy...

He should a used the "certificate 18" sample I reckon...!

 

And if thats not Shy FX I'll eat my avatar...

 

The other side (EBR013) is the same as the B side of the proper EBR013 release, and is a strange, 4:3 time signature tune which has got to be T Power. Odd that my proper EBR013 tune has 'B' on it and not 'D'... and I heard 'D' and its definitely a different tune... on both sides...

 

I did actually ID that Alphabet 'D' as one tune I had on a tape - from a Kenny Ken Kiss 100 show I think... but dunno if its still there.

Ignore the first post here...I think it's misleading

 

From this post...

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33403

 

ALPHABET A - EBR013 (other side - EBR010?)

ALPHABET B - EBR013

ALPHABET C - ALPHABETC (was IVORY3)

ALPHABET D - ALPHABET4 (was IVORY4)

 

That's what needs to be in the db :huh: :wacko:

 

I think we really need to get rid of IVORY3 & IVORY4 in the Ivory listings as well as sorting out the "unreleased" (aka non existent) EBR releases that came out on the Alphabet label rather than on Ebony. These labels should be treated like the De Underground ones and where releases don't exist they should be deleted, not listed as "remains unreleased"

read the other thread. arrrrgh (in a dead pan voice)

 

'reminds me of the limited e / ibizas - with

scratched out cats and cross pollenating labels...

 

 

EBR010 - Alphabet 'A' [EBR010/EBR013]

A) Shy FX - "...certificate 15..." [ebr010aa]

B) T Power - "4:3" [ebr013aa]

)if this is the official alphabet 'a' then obviously a mispress. wonder what -EBR010A- was. again, my copy has white labels on both sides, no 'a' designation or anything)

 

 

EBR011 - Potential Bad Boy / Atomic Dog

A) Potential Bad Boy- The Spirit

B) Atomic Dog - ?????

a full release for this one? or just white label?

 

 

EBR012 - Ivory Records #1

A) Shy FX - Mad Apache

B) Shy FX - Strokes

unreleased - put as Ivory label debut release

 

 

EBR013 - Alphabet 'B' (EBR013)

A) ????

B) T Power - "4:3"

(no 'ivorys' etched out on mine...)

 

 

(???)EBR013 - Alphabet 'C' (???)

A) Shy FX - Wild Apache (Remix)

B) ???

(So whats scratched on this vinyl???)

 

There's your Ebonys sorted

Posted
EBR012 - Ivory Records #1

A) Shy FX - Mad Apache

B) Shy FX - Strokes

unreleased - put as Ivory label debut release

My copy has full artwork & I could have sworn has an IVORY cat no...will checkall Ebonys from home later

 

Some of the other threads were me getting confused as I didn't have the tunes in front of me at the time. I'd ignore all info from me in them at the moment

EBR012 - Ivory Records #1

A) Shy FX - Mad Apache

B) Shy FX - Strokes

unreleased - put as Ivory label debut release

Unreleased? Or promo only?

Well I take that info from Tech's post here:

 

"C" is "changed" from IVORY 3 to ALPHABET C and "D" is "changed" from IVORY 4 to ALPHABET 4 on my copies.....

..and IVORY001 is "changed" from CBR(or GBR)012

I suppose if there are white label promo's of "Mad Apache" then I spose this might count as having 'promo only' status for the Ebony label...

It doesn't mean that the 12" ever actually came out as EBR012 (or whatevr is crossed out). If the cat no was scratched out on the master then we can't count it as an Ebony release. The whites have the IVORY cat no on them, scractched out cat nos should be ignored and just included as extra info

Posted

Yeah, maybe,

but at least that kind of info enables us to fill in the blanks elsewhere - or do you prefer miscillaneous questions marks in your label release listings?

 

I think its more than fair to have at least some reference on the Ebony release list to say that EBR012 appears to have probably intended to be the "Mad Apache"/"Strokes" 12" but was cancelled.

 

I'd say exactly the same thing for the RAP001 release - a pointer should be put under the Philly Blunt listings to indicate that the tune was seemingly originally slated for a Philly Blunt release but was cancelled and put out under 'Rap Records' instead.

These dodgy Alphabets are probably another candidate for that old 'shared label' conundrum...

Oh dear...this is all getting very confusing again!!

 

What are these two?

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/alphabet/ebr013b

http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/alphabet/ebr013c

 

Is that just a way of duplicating the cat no? Can they not all be listed as EBR013?

 

THis

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/alphabet/ebr013c

 

Should be ALPHABETC - that's what's in the runout groove. EBR013 is crossed out

 

There's no listing of ALPHABET4 that I can see. It is here as IVORY4

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/ivory/ivory4

 

It was not released as IVORY4, this was scratched out in the runout

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/label/ivory

 

Ivory 3 & 4 do not exist...they should be deleted
