Re: (don't) take off labels

[jurren baars]

taking off the labels of records to make sure no one can identify what 
you're playing (if that is why you want to do it), is (IMHO) showing a 
complete disrespect towards the artist that made that record. imagine you've 
produced some awesome track, and some dj plays it. then you see someone walk 
up to the decks to see what track it is, only to find out the dj doesn't 
want him/her to know what it is, and has taken of the label. i would be 
extremely pissed, now the dj has made it practically impossible for this 
person to by MY record, just because he wants to be the only one to play 
that tune.
as for 'famous' dj's doing this. not all of them do this, most just get a 
$#!Tload of white labels send to them, and half of the time they don't even 
know the title (or even the artist) of the track they're playing.
there's an interview with derrick may at forcefield.org where he talks about 
this 'problem', check it out.
