Iv obviously got a decent amount of white label promos in my collection. When I have bought them most have some details wrote on but if they are totally blank....

I was wondering was do you write on them so you know what they are?

I hate writing on the label... think it kinda defaces it and will try to write on the sleeve. Though if its got a black sleeve they just end up with me having to remember what they are lol :S .

Simple answer - yes.

Mainly due to when you have several white labels out of their covers, you'd never know what is what without something easy to refer to on the actual label, I used to mark the label with artist and title and put a sticker on the cover with same info on, that way things always found their way back to where they should be, helps for when you play out :thumbsup:

Yes....I write on them, but not always the artist and title.

I don't actually know what some of the tunes are called, so I just write something on so that I know what they are.

My booty copy of Techno Age - Movin On was already written on when I got it.......it says "Baked Potato" for some strange reason.

My Hooligan X doesn't say "Hooligan X - The Flasher".....it says "Soccer Thug??" and has a big green X across it.

Feck :fekked: knows why I do stuff like that, but I don't care...they are my tunes, so I can do what I like with em!! :moonie:

i tend not to write on the record but on the white cover/slip :

this is a sort of good reason not to write on the lable :) ...

Various - Sampler Ep Volume 1

(the original 500 copies where written in pen and the next 1,000 copies had a white sticker saying "metroplex 101 sampler" ... then it got released on peacefrog records).

:thumbsup:
