Just a factual statement: Silver all gone on Juno.

[webby]

They have all sold out!!

[They call me Stephen]

Juno claim it is only £5.99 on the main page but then the price hikes up to £9.99 when added to your basket...v cheeky me thinks

I've bought one in silver. Although I don’t agree with the whole affair surrounding this & dirty funker record, I love the image and can’t afford the real deal. I am under no pretense it’s a genuine article but am looking forward to getting it into a £10 record frame and putting it in my loo! ;D

This thread should be locked now before it becomes a 20+ page fiasco again!

[bmjt]

Indeed sorry, all gone.

[bmjt]

I fully concur 'Theycallmestephen'

[cubrik]

at least its not a chessy dance house track !! the "keep it real" side looks cool have one set ordered i will be happy with that, hate all the flipping that will be sure to go the bay!

[mafekingnuns]

Try here, they still have some in stock.

i understand why people buy these but i have a problem with them because the artist does not profit from this in anyway.

its just a cynical ploy by record labels to make money, they saw the fuss caused by the dirty funker record and have simply copied that business model

we have even see Juno bump the price in the space of 2 hours!

when the artist, (be it Banksy or whoever) puts in all the work, goes thru the creative process and effort to create such an amazing image, why should we support others who rip it off for their own financial gain?

this is just a corporate version of the low lifes who spray up their own Banksy street pieces and sell them as genuine. by buying into it you are encouraging others to do it.

ok, he doesnt need the money, but that doesnt mean he should be ripped off either,

thats why id rather have a genuine banksy piece. at least it has Mr Bs approval.

i hope Banksy has something to do with this and im proved wrong, but i doubt. it.

if banksy was worried about making money, he would not paint his work in public where it can be photographed/stolen/ripped off for other peoples gain.

There is no copyright on banksy stuff as its all illegal...

[thinkbank]

im not saying he is worried about it at all, infact he probably hasnt got any money worries at all.

its about ripping off his artwork.

any1 managed to buy any from this site,


cant find uk in delivery options?

what is the shipping,

might just wait to see if juno have any available

i have the perfect space for these and if they are metallic as well they will look awesome as a set up on the wall. Could not care less if they were real or not. If someone had these on ebay without anyone knowing about the juno release then they would probably be snapped up as they are unique and a good price

You clearly know nothing about copyright law. All those images are copyrighted. You are really pushing these records, do you work for the company pressing these?

So basically youre saying you couldnt care less about the artist. its all take take take.

[webby]

[cubrik]

[bmjt]

Probably took them down to change the prices.

Thats not what was said at all. JF said that he had a space on a wall for these pieces. And he also noted, correctly in my opinon that if he had seen this on ebay at the same price he would have been tempted.

You guys sure like to argue about not very much.

If your a graf artist if you cant let your art go, dont put it in the public domain. Once its wild its been set free.
Have a coke, and a smile and shut the fkuc up!

While I understand where you are coming from thinkbank and sympathise with your view I think this last post of yours takes it a bit far - do you really think Banksy is going to be in any way affected by whether jboy buys a set of these covers or not???

If Banksy wanted to do something about these record cover releases he could. Everyone knows he created these images and he could claim copyright over them and sue the musician or more likely the businesses selling them. He CHOOSES not to. Whether he likes it or not that is seen legally at least as a tacit form of approval.

[GB]

so any more detail on the numbers of these? are they numbererd?

[fastone]

They are back up again at 9.99 ea if you are interested.....

[Wearology]

I spoke to the girl at Juno in the past 5 minutes - You need to go the website and click on the button (todays new releases) - scroll down to the almost the bottom of the page and you will see the 4 laugh now variations - the price is $17.00 us bucks - I bought 4 extra records and would like to donate them to Tom's brothers charity -

[tommyboy]

think they are just numbered on the lables according to loop23

Well he certainly would know about the radar rats by now which are still for sale...

[thinkbank]

he may not like it, doesnt mean he wants to take action though and doesnt change the fact that he is being ripped off.

you know what the headlines would be if he started taking legal action

Underground artist using the legal system he hates to stop people making a fast buck. etc etc.

hardly worth the hassle for him is it?

[graffoto]

noone will know if they are official (doubtful) and be they'd be sooo honest about it anyway

- but that said I like them more than Mau Mau print - and i liked my rat framed on the wall - but let's let this one go know before people go eaby crazy (rat anyone!!!)

[GB]

just been to oxford st HMV, these are limited to 1000 and are numbered on the LP. they were £6.49 each at HMV.

good 3rd track that just has laughing all the way through, bit creepy, but wicked to mix with and sample!

[bmjt]

GB, is Each colourway limited to 1000? or 1000 in total for all 4 colours?
