hehe probably - I put another order in the day I posted that & got an email yesterday saying that the rest of the order had shipped bar the DF 12"s... Guess we'll see if they're out at the suppliers too.

after Dirty Funker did a knock off Kate Moss sleeve, Banksy was hardly going to give permission for them to use another of his images.

Also even when Banksy didn't have money he was a little discerning about his artwork commissions - Wall of Sound, Badmeaninggood, Monk & Canatella. How on earth anyone thought he'd suddenly put his name to any old bollocks is beyond me.

Can we stop talking about this fucking record?!!!!

Jesus

It's like banging your head against a brick wall

[ryskip]

Official or unofficial who cares, I bought a brown one because like so many Official Banksy prints a Sonic/Radar Rat is now out of my price range and with all the fakes knocking around on eBay I'd be uncomfortable with spending so much money on something from the secondary market!!

It's as official as the rat on the door that recently sold on ebay for over a grand so £10 seems pretty cheap to me.

Just for arguements sake if I/we release an album with an image taken from Banksy's shop, is it an official release as Banksy himself has given his permission for this image to be re-used?

[azzrat]

You don't have to post a reply......! and there is no need to go around the filter and use foul language prescriptionart!!!!...................i am a new member to this forum and have only recently heard about Banksy, till 5-6 months ago. I just want proof that this is either OFFICIAL or NOT.............not much to ask is it?

(Deep breath)

Banksy's authentication company - Pest Control - have said it is unofficial

Surely that is your answer

[azzrat]

Ok mike , i will BURN all 5 of the Banksy dirty funker's then .............................3 White 1 Brown 1 Grey...................if that's the case..And i am totally disgusted that record companies can sell these "official Albums" to the public..................they should be hung drawn and quarterd.......someone , or something should be done about this.!!
And i can understand after reading many posts about this that people are getting angry, so Prescriptionart, i now understand your reply...................and i apologise

[savilerogue]

I can't believe people got suckered in by this.

If you want a Banksy image on your wall without paying £££s print the hi-res images off his website and make your own, instead of filling the pockets of these bootlegger s**tehawks.

[bullet]

this is funny ;D

everyone might as well have printed the image out on some white or brown paper.

sucked big time...

If you like them keep them mate, I'm sure all 3 will look good framed up together. This isn't about the image, if you like it get it on the wall mate

There's nothing to apologise for. I collect Banksy stuff. Official or not I thought these were worth paying £6.99 for, so I bought a white & a brown one. I was under no illusions that these were anything other than what they are though.... a cheap way to sell a few thousand records. Banksy has always stated that he has a lax attitude to copyright, so though it's a pretty lousy thing to do, he's hardly going to persue them for copyright infringement. By all means buy the record, add it to your collection, stick it on the wall. But it's not worth 50 long threads on the forum!!

[azzrat]

Like i said, i bought them as Official .............and paid a lot for them ,as i couldnt get a copy from any record dealer for £6.99 or whatever.!
bought 2 white for presents, and the others to put on my wall.....................can't see the point now, if they are not official.
