Dubplates don't have a built-in countdown-to-disintegration chip or anything
built into them ;) "attention: this dubplate will self destruct in 5
plays; attention:
this dubplate will self destruct in 5 plays" just doesn't happen. If you're
extremely
careful with a dubplate, it can last a long time; the problem is it's not
the final
version of a vinyl record, so it's not as tough and able to withstand the
elements:
dirt, sweat, touching it (because us humans emit body oil and our skin
flakes off,etc)
anything like that is going to degrade it. Wheras a final version of a
record is
easy to clean, dubplates are not so easy to fix up. You can beat around the
final
version of a record and it will withstand a lot of abuse; a dub is sortof
like a baby
whereas the final version of the vinyl is like the adult, so you gotta
handle dem
dubs with care. Hope this helps. Andrew :)
