Hmmm. Funny things happened with Transmatt stuff in the UK. First of all
they're rare as fuck, I paid 25 quid for an original Nude photo, but last
year some of the old stuff 'reappeared'. I bought it on sight, thinking
it was the real stuff, but on closer inspection it turns out have 1992
copyright things on it, the label art is very shit (not original) and on
the copy of K-Alexsi "All for lee Sah" [Awesome acid btw], the sound
quality is very poor, in fact it sounds exactly like a copy off vinyl,
not a master. I therefore came to the conclusion that these were bootlegs.
But of course I'm probably wrong...
However I got a copy of Energy Flash at the same time and this *is* original.
The dodgy represses/bootlegs were RiR - Strings, the k-alexi and
Suburban Knight.
Oh and guess what. I'm doing a Transmat discog :)
