Hi 'Pig' Thank you for the clarification of information on Vinyl releases. My website link above, links to details of the box set releases which both included Interpress moulding pressings of URT3 + 4. I appreciate that you probably had no need or indeed paid a fraction of attention to the pressing variations that some of us collectors have, but I would appreciate if either here or vi a private mail you could help identify which pressings were not made by TSP. MON , CDC and GZ mastered discs. Thanks in advance for nay help.

Hi Moptop, I am able to confirm your assumption that the 15 TSP titles prior to Ultra Rare Trax were all non-Beatles releases. I don't know the cassette (box) for URT 3 & 4, this was certainly not manufactured by us, however it is well possible that one of our distributors manufactured these, although this is nothing that I am aware of. Magic Dwarf was indeed a Pig sublabel, while The Genuine Pig was just a copycat label from Italy trying to create the impression that their product had something to do with us (just like another label called "The Welfare Pig", also from Italy).

Hello Werner, On your great web site I had notice few mistakes or wrong informations. In order to improve the web site only, please note the following marks: 1.Instead John Lee Hooker:Mid Valley '92 the right title is: Mill Valley '92 2.Instead Rolling Stones:First Night Stand 2CD TSP-CD-180-2 they are splitted on two separate discs as: -Rolling Stones:First Night Stand Vol.1 TSP-CD-180-1 -Rolling Stones:First Night Stand Vol.2 TSP-CD-2 For the above please check at Hot Wacks Supplement 3 Book. 3.You mention that the item U 2:Achtung Bootleg 2CD TSP-CD-158-2 are Gold Discs. In my original correspondence and records with The Swingin Pig Company I never notice this fact.Furthemnore for the Gold Discs Edition the TSP company usually used notice that this is "Limited Numbered Edition". Directly from TSP Company at that time we had received standard silver discs from the above title. Finally I would like to remind you that few years my company was TSP distribotor, up to their closing in March 1997. I will be glad if the above notices will be useful to many TSP fans. Regards, Alex
Comment: Hi Alex, thanks for your corrections, I thought already there were some mistakes perhaps by typewriting also, I will check them. For this the guestbook is standing too, to inform me about the mistakes and to help other Pig collectors to a better understanding. This keeps the website alive. Werner

Hi Werner Sorry I do not own any of the Beatles LP's . They are easy to distinguish from the CD versions as the text is Gold rather than white , with the exception of Five Nights in the Judo Arena which is red on both. According to Clinton Heylin's Bootleg ! book there were 15 Swingin' Pig Releases prior to Ultra Rare Trax CD releases in the summer of 1988. I can only assume that these were non Beatles titles as I have not been able to track any down. There were also a couple of box sets including a cassette for URT V3 + V4 Beatles. Magic dwarf singles, EPS and shaped releases were also said to be a subs. of The Genuine Swingin' Pig with at least 8 Rolling Stones titles and 1 Beatles.

Sorry to report that ALL the images used for the Beatles LP's in the Coloured vinyl section are of the CD versions NOT LP's
Comment: Thanks, I want to give an example, have these images about that albums only . If you can help with the real LP images, you are very welcome.

A great site, on a quick look around I have spotted a couple of items in need of update. Hopefully I will get time to add more in due course. URT1 + 2 TSPCD001+2 were originally issued with SDRM royalties and dayglo covers. The cover image you have of URT1 CD is of the LP not CD. There are multiple pressings for ALL of the Beatles titles, including some FAKE or reissues with alternate masterings.
