Theo Parrish - Ugly Edits - OP5 (tracks)

=(

OPO is clearly "in the basement"

i was thinking about the whole screwed minimal thing and realizing that theo parrish has pretty much already done it.

my opo would be "the love i lost"

most but not all are on slsk. quality varies, some are horrible sounding rips. i have a few of the booted 12"s and they weren't pressed very well, so either way you're screwed.

i think i have all of these on slsk but i cant vouch for the authenticity (ha!) of a couple of them.

What about these? http://www.turntablelab.com/search/index.html?search_field=Theo+Parrish§ion=&type=more&page=1&reviews=&s=1&action=search

Are the ones with the stencil-y looking labels "official" or is it impossible to tell now? I've seen a couple (like th picture of Ugle Edit 5 in the Forced Exposure list) that don't seem to have the spray-painted stencil looking label and I always figured they were the (double) bootlegs. Any clues on this?

Also, just for fun this is from the Ugly Edits "label" page on Discogs:

Some say that some of these truly Ugly Edits have been bootlegged but what Mr. Parrish is busy with nowadays (probably due to lack any remaining creativity and imagination) is just as close as bootlegging.
At least when Greg Wilson output re-edits on Tirk, this records company fixes clearance terms with the track's copyrights holders', so that it turn up to be a legitimate release (such as with any official remixes), EMI does the same for it's brilliant OST series.
In Theo Parrish case it's not done so but pirate style, this is why it looks like promo copies, test pressings or white labels.
There is no much wrong with that way of doing in my view in such limited quantity but if then in turn Parrish's edits are pressed again by others and in turns these are judged by his own fan base as rip-off copies, this is shear non-sense. At least West-End or Unidisc do release their respective back catalogues legitimately: at some level to the benefit of their own artists (not like Trax or DJ Int. who never dealed fair with anyone) and anyway music on such re-issues are way better and deeper in scope than with any of such indeed -Ugly- Edits. So please, stop spreading here and there on how Theo Parrish is such a creative genius.

one of these that i found pretty much sounds like a very good and inspired dj working with two copies of the same record with EQ tricks (it was a classic deep disco cut). it came across as a new work to me which said a lot about dj culture, vinyl as an artistic medium, etc. i'm sure it could rock a party too. i think use of the word ugly is important and part of the point because they are indeed ugly/dirty/haphazard/high/messed up/emotional (inclusive of the copyright issues too!). in 2006 is it antiquated to say that the dj is channeling something else besides music with those decks?

ugly edits 11 is on the way at the end of the month!!

sweet!

REJOICE! An Ugly Edits Comp is on the way.
