Wax Slab Etchings.

Wax Slab Etchings.

one day i was looking at one of my vinyl records and i noticed a message etched into the blank space between the music and the label. i found out these are etchings they put on the wax slab imprint when pressing vinyl records. i just thought they were interesting and i decided to put them up here. not all records have these and if you're interested in vinyl you may find this listing interesting. even though many of the messages seemingly have no real point and are mostly random, that's not really the point. like i said, you probably have to be into punk vinyl to actually be interested in these little nothings. NOTE: my record collection is not big in the slightest and most of these aren't mine. thanks to every one who emailed me from the skylab message board, seb, todd, justin and anyone else. it would be extremely appreciated if you would possibly take the time to glance at your vinyl and email me the messages you may find. i'd like to get a substantial list going here.

thanks, patrick.
