[QUOTE="Winslow, post: 912248, member: 9104"] Interpack being just the printers and originators of the record selves and later farming the origination out merely printed the selves, and had nothing at all to do with the pressings. Same with artone. Worked with the record industry involved in the printing side for long enough to loose my hair. They were cost cutters deluxe our local record publishers. Even used to design some of their logs at no cost to them. Tight fist'd was not the word. I know Gallo had a record pressing plant in Rhodesia. And being open to correction most if not all local SA pressings came from the EMI plant in Steeldale Johannesburg. Some good, some bad, some awful, pressings pot luck. Interpack record pressings is a misnomer. A lot of the selves were not the same as overseas ones due to the fact that a lot of the time the origination material supplied to us was either rubbish negatives or just a sleeve to re-screen and take it from there. We used our skills to tidy up what we could, and I for one was given cart blanch to redesign the selves with what we had in hand, all with the various record companies final say. So in the respect of them being collectible some SA and Rhodesian selves are unique, and only printed in limited quantities. The layout and design thereof being to product of some underpaid bloke working on the light table. [/QUOTE]
