Yo! so I realize I ain't never gonna fork out that cash for LEGO feet on Skam (just took a look at PUCKERD1's auction) I have the Skampler and was thinking of getting it cut like all the junglists do in LA. I'd like to throw that track 10 on Skampler in my 'lektro set, it's a short groover:) anyway, to my point. HOW LONG TO Plates last? How many chances can I spin a plate before it starts to suck in quality? motherfucking limited SKAM 12"es from yesteryear. Why oh Why wasn't I paying attention? I HATE CDS!!!!!!!!!!! damn, gilly

I heard something like you can use a dubplate 50 to 80 times. Bye Sebastian -- Sebastian Herrfurth (seher@cs.tu-berlin.de) pages for Bernd Friedmann / Riz Maslen / Daniel Meier / DJ Krush / ... at http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~seher/music.html

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 :)
