Duh scratches head furiously.what do you think of:-
1.
they changed the printing ink colo(U)r from duh white to duh Red
2. they ran out of red ink as they were making big losses
seriously
3 I have a suspicion that it was common for promo copies of vinyl albums and singles to have plain white labels to signify that they were the highest quality pressing from the best master to impress disk jockeys as much as possible hence thes are presumed by vinyl collectors to be better and thus command a higher price.Right Walter or fortyfivesfrank in Ohio??
Now that vinyl has been supplanted by CD'S of which all copies are to all intents and purposes identical and therefore all
should be perfect
White labels are no longer necesary
Unless anybody knows different??

""You know what? I'm too humble. I'm humble to the point of feeling inferior most of the time. And I've had this treated because I suffer from depression. So I can talk to you about that, but it's a very nebulous topic."
Lightfoot says he's been fighting depression since "I came face to face with my mortality at age 10.
"With some people, it happens a little bit later in their lives. You realize you're gonna die. It hits everybody between the eyes like a big stone around pre-adolescence. It hit me when I was 10, and I've been depressed ever since."
While he doesn't feel he's particularly gifted, Lightfoot does own up to one characteristic
I'm a very practical person"
