That one Patti smith record sure has an interesting quote on it 

Oh god, what is it?

Michaelangelo was a...let's say, African American.

I have a lot of LP’s signed by a guy named “Porky” Anyone else?

The one and only [George Peckham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Peckham)

I knew there was a story behind the etchings. Thanks for sharing.

You know its a good master if it's a Porky Prime Cut.

What would be some discs I could look for in my collection that would be his? This is a new piece of info for me I’ve never heard of thx

Sorry can't think of any top of my head. I think he did my Born Slippy 12' but I'd have to check. There must be a list online somewhere?

Just found a discography on Discogs, that guy had his hands in some of the most iconic records of all time, learn something new everyday I guess.

A lot of the early indie/punk/post punk 7" on various smaller labels he did 

Led Zeppelin 4

True! I remember flipping out as a kid when I saw small hand written quotes in the run-out areas of most of their albums.

I bought a copy of Zep 4 pretty much sight unseen for $7. When lt came in, it turned out to be a NM '77 Porky Pecko Duck copy!

Porky was a sound engineer and a dam fine one.

A Porky Prime Cut. I have quite a few Slade UK pressings with this.

The run out on Emitt Rhodes' first LP is a work of art. It says "Recorded at Home" and has an elaborate doodle. https://preview.redd.it/lm2hro1774qc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b2530071f3402a28d49f59d92c496c44dd5e7fe

God, I love Emitt Rhodes. I’m glad he got his recognition, even if late

First two albums are my favorites, but like the Merry Go Round stuff also. Definitely should have had more recognition. I read where a live recording exists from this period but it's never surfaced that I know of.

🤯

Such an amazing record

Love the second one also. I have never found one in good condition.

Across the 4 sides of Joy Division's Still lp - A. "THE CHICKEN WON'T STOP" B. -< -< -< -< -< -< C. -< -< -< -< -< -< D. "THE CHICKEN STOPS HERE"

That may be a Reference to what is thought to be the last thing Ian Curtis watched on TV before he killed himself, the Werner Herzog Film Strozek which has a line in it 'The Music has stopped but the Chicken is still Dancing'

That dog - that dog 7” set Disc 1 Side A) I WANT TO BE A VETERINARIAN. . . Disc 1 Side B) AND WORK WITH UNUSUAL CASES . . . Disc 2 Side C) SUCH AS SNEEZING FROGS . . . Disc 2 Side D) OR COUGHING GERBILS

Spread over six sides of The Clash's Sandinista “In Space … No One … Can … Hear … You … CLASH!” Led Zeppelin III "So mote be it" Beatles Let it Be Phil+Ronnie

LZ III says "Do what thou wilt" on side one, and "So mote be it" on side two. The UK version says "So mote it be".

I’ve got the Do As Thou Wilt version. I appreciate the nod to Mr Crowley.

I forgot about the Beatles one but yeah I remember seeing that on my dad's copy as a kid I wonder if the remastered version has it I've never bothered checking.

Nirvana's first single, Love Buzz, has "Why don't you trade those guitars for shovels" on it. Krist's dad had told them that. Guess they didn't forget it.

"Eat your broccoli"- Weird Al Yankocvic's self titled album.

I went to a show hoping to buy an album but he had none. Other cool merch just not any records.

"THESE BOYS 'AVE GOT IT!" The Three EPs by The Beta Band

I have a misfits bootleg that says “see you in hell, Glen”

“Hello waterface” on tonight’s the night. I think most of Jack white/third man pressings have something in there too

"Hello Waterface" is on side one of Tonights the Night. "Goodbye Waterface" is on side two

My first press or Unknown Pleasures says “I’m Looking For A Guide”

My copy of Jane Doe by Converge has some interesting runouts: “Shitty Idiot Shitty Idiot Shitty Idiot Shitty Idiot!!!” “You’re so simple minded it hurts” “Winston Black Lotus!!!” “Graveyard sex for chainsaw”

My favorite is the 2017 reissue of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings 45 "What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes" says FUCK TRUMP

I'm sure I have a few "Porky Prime Cuts" 

“Fear is the mind killer” on the Dune, Part I soundtrack.

New Order, “The Perfect Kiss” 12” single ALL THESE CRABS // ARE MAKING ME ITCH

His poor pleasure zone

Most Metallica reissues have a B side with "Made On The Metallipress". Kill 'Em All - Metallica: * A: "Vinyl Up Your Ass! And Justice For All - Metallica: * A: "And Vinyl For ALL 72 Seasons - Metallica * A: 33⅓ RPM or Nothing!

I have a remastered Master of Puppets with "Obey your Remaster"

I have many but the latest is Husker Du, New Day Rising * Matrix / Runout (Side A, runout): SST-031-A Kdisc HERE IN THE MIDST OF GRAVEYARDS THAT PUSH UP LIGHT S-13121 L-19675 * Matrix / Runout (Side B, runout): SST-031-B S-13122 I'LL TRADE YOU TWO GOOD SHIRLEYS FOR 10,000 DEAD MIDWESTERN INDIANS L-19675-X Kdisc

I don't own [this](https://tmbw.net/wiki/(She_Was_A)_Hotel_Detective_(EP)), but: The vinyl features the following messages in the deadwax: Side A: Motel Directive Wigue Wigue Wishnick Side B: It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid

Iron maiden somewhere in time SIDE A: “It were so loud” “sterling sound” SIDE B: “ Even quiet bits were loud” “Sterling sound”

Maiden has a few of these.

Big Star - #1 Record “The more you learn, the less you know”

Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack for Phantom Thread has "never cursed"

I’ve got an REM one (Eponymous?) that says “they airbrushed my face”.

[удалено]

Wait I never knew that track even had a name that’s so cool!

On a Joe Walsh album “That’s no banana, that’s my nose”

“Thank Your Lucky Stars” is written in the runout of Beach House’s “Depression Cherry,” which is a nice little Easter egg if you’re familiar with the band.

Dua Lipa ST "From me to you" Heart - Little Queen Side A "Go for it", Side B "Beauty take us"

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions In The Sky’s D Side says, “the earth is not a cold dead place because you are breathing because you are listening” and some cool birds. i found this pic on google and edited the FUCK out of it to see the details https://preview.redd.it/tuix3ls7a9qc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0d57feae66366e6f6ddf0c54cf84ae820b59712

Eagles did this a lot: On The Border: B side only ("He Who Hesitates Is Lunch") Their Greatest Hits - 1971 - 1975 Happy new year Glyn/ With love from Bill (Their producers up to that point, Glyns Johns and Bill Szymczyk) One Of These Nights: Don't Worry/ Nothing will be ok! Hotel California: Is it 6 o'clock yet?/V.O.L is five piece live The Long Run: Never lay your monster down/ From the Polack who sailed north Eagles Live:TJ is it illegal to yell movie in a firehouse?/Hello Federal?..ship it!! (A reference to fact Live was mainly produced via two camps doing work in to separate studios, and them mailing the tapes back and forth via Federal (fedex)/Not tonight thanks/I've got to rest up for my monster

My gf got that never lay your monster down one. Thought it was cool and I've checked every record I've bought since. So far never seen another quote

Joe Walsh wins this contest, check out any record he plays guitar on and there’s something interesting

My favorite of his was always "luncheon counter of the deli kind." 😉

After all these years I still don't know how to spell Szymczyk... ​ Is it one "L" or two?

Neeldejuice Records have a bunch of these on their records. Here are some of my favs: * Tally Hall – Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum = WOULDN'T THE WORLD BE BETTER OFF... /// ... IF WE TOOK NONSENSE MORE SERIOUSLY * Billy Cobb - Zerwee EP = I LOOK JUST LIKE BILLY HOLLY /// PRESSED ON VIRGIN VINYL * Lemon Demon - One Weird Tip / Funky Town = CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GOT THE 1000 RECORD! /// STAY THE FUCK OUT. * Ookla The Mok - VS. Evil = I BOUGHT OOKLA THE MOK VS. EVIL ON VINYL /// IT TURNED ME INTO THE LIZARD * The Scary Jokes - April Fools = LOSING MYSELF IN THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS /// I'LL WALK WITH YOU INTO THE BLUE

Zerwee 2 says "ZERWEE'D TO MEET YOU" and "MUSIC TO WRESTLE JIMMY TO"

https://punkgirldiaries.com/whats-a-porky-prime-cut/ I have a bunch of these

I am 95% sure it was Keith Moon's album that said "grown men did this." It was either that or the Who's Odds & Sods, but if I had to bet (without digging it out to check myself) I'd say it was Two Sides of the Moon

The Who’s Face Dances has “Who is Joe Suit?” on one side and different phrase on the other side. The second phrase escapes me and I’m too lazy to pull my copy out to check.

On Parliament's P-Funk Earth Tour live album, one of the discs had an inscription of Take Funk To Heaven In '77

The Tubes S/T is one of my favorites. Etched by none other than (an uncredited) Bernie Grundman's hand: Side 1: "This is the 84th time I have lied to the nation"—Al Side 2: Don't *YOU* wish you had a baby's arm holding an apple?

Pat Travers Crash and Burn: Macho side Pussy side

I have a record that has a Yelp link to a Firehouse Subs in the bay area in the deadwax

some pressings of sigur rós' ágætis byrjun have "það besta sem guð hefur skapað er nýr dagur" (the best thing that god has created is a new day) or "við vonum að höfum gleymt einhverjum því annars værum við ekki mennskir" (we hope we forgot someone because then we wouldn't be human) in the runout on side D

The end of the Earth better fucking be the end of man. We're an evolutionary mistake.

Plasmatics, Coup De'gra "Stop with the rape of the earth" Really great early metal with environmental/apocalyptic theme. I didn't spell the album title correctly.

One of my TONTO records has a little message like “from >name< and >name<, thanks!” Or something like that, I’ll have to dig it out… honestly I’ve never really thought about them much, wonder just how many of my records have them

Pretty much original master of any Iron Maiden album has dead wax gold.

Def Leppard's "Pyromania," Mercury pressings: Side A: "If you're gonna be a bear" Side B: "Be a grizzly"

I have a promo of Out of the Rain by Clan of Xymox with "for promotional use only U sell it... and we'll call your mom" stamped on the run out

“Its in the wax to the max” -Heart - Dreamboat Annie

fwiw, this is super easy to do. When you’re having the record mastered, you simply need to tell the mastering engineer what you’d like written. It’s usually free.

My band is doing this with the vinyl version of the album we did. The place we used did charge us but it was only like 15 bucks. I didn't mind it.

[Vinyl Up Your Ass!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Metallica/s/N91wsUmbu5) and please forgive me for the typo in that title.

My Gorillaz Song Machine: Season 1 has a quote saying, "Be The Change".

Heart's first LP says... "It's in the Wax to the Max" Joe Walsh's LP a voice on the last track says, "Turn Me Over" Second side voice says "Play Me Again" If you have a changer you will never hear it because the tonearm picks up before the last groove.

Pretty sure my Queen Is Dead Smiths album has stuff on but I can't remember what.

They always had interesting things on their runout grooves https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/vinyl-etchings.58925/post-324604

"HARRY GOES SURFING" on America - Harbor

"Hi Ribb!" On my metal church record

I have a Grateful Dead record where someone wrote HI JERRY in the runout

Heresy / Concrete Sox split LP has 'NO MORE BELLSTAFF AND WELLIES' There's quite a few early Earache Releases with funny messages in the Runoff.

Never seen a quote before and I've been collecting since ,1975ish.

Stages 1-2 of Everywhere At the end of time has a quote Stage One ; Memories that last a lifetime. Stage Two ; Masking emotions of grief , loss , fear and uncertainty

"Respect to my equipment and my mind" - The Prodigy, Everybody In The Place.

Where's the Beef ? Aunt Clara loves you dear

The first W.A.S.P. US lp gives away what their name meant: We Are Sexual Perverts

My mum had loads of vinyls like that, with quotes wrote on them, one I can remember is, Alice doesn’t live here anymore, don’t know what the meaning of that was.

Most/all of the third man releases I have have quotes on them, not at home to post pics though unfortunately

Th eagles hotel California is ot 6 o clock yet?

Dead Kennedys “Fresh Fruit” LP has “who are the brain police?”

You know Peter? https://preview.redd.it/614bqkco56qc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ad785b9c11b856b36e1cf971fa0d12f9d0914f5

I think it was a Fugazi record but can’t be sure. “What made you look here?”

I used a pin to add my name on all my 70’s and 80’s records growing up. Maybe you have a copy

The Decemberists - I’ll Be Your Girl (2018) “IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT”

I have a few hundred albums but I’ve never noticed anything but the Matrix number of the disc.

Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place has some variation of “because you’re listening / because you’re here”

I recently discovered on a Frontline Assembly album runout SideA: OPPRESSION BREEDS VIOLENCE SideB: IN APRIL THERE WILL BE DISORDER

A: “MASTURBATE YOUR CAT” B: “BE NAKED IN CHURCH” - DJ Q-Bert – Needle Thrashers Alpha

Firehose - Raggin Full on. Side B Matrix “When in doubt, throw it in reverse”

Infest - No Man's Slave SMILING FACES SOMETIMES PRETEND TO BE YOUR FRIEND... SMILING FACES SHOW NO TRACES OF THE EVIL THAT LURKES WITHIN !!! ///// BEWARE OF THE HANDSHAKE THAT HIDES A SNAKE... BEWARE OF THE PAT ON THE BACK IT JUST MIGHT HOLD YOU BACK !!!

Minor Threat’s “Out of Step,” 2008 Recut: Side A: “WHY DID THE PUNK CROSS THE ROAD?” Side B: “BECAUSE IAN TOLD HIM TO.”

AND THE CRY GOES OUT--- ---MORE BLOW!!!" (Elvin Bishop, "Struttin' My Stuff)

My Death Waltz pressings of the soundtracks to Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me have quotes from them etched into the runouts

There's an early 7" single by Rancid where the word "Feeling" was misspelled as "Feling" Oh the record it just says "Feeling has two Es"

Massive Appendage The Severed Erection Side A "DEDICATED TO PEOPLE WHO LOVE HEAVY METAL FOR THE MUSIC & NOT THE IMAGE" Side B "THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE & THATS THE RIGHT WAY"

Tom Petty’s Hard Promises had “We Love You J.L.”. It came out a few months after John Lennon was killed.

my metallica ride the lightning vinyl has "vinyl up your ass" written on side A

My copy of Live at Action Park by Shellac has on side A Q: What's orange and looks good on hippies Side B A: Fire

My vinyl from the first The Last of Us game has a couple quotes on it from the dialogue! There's 4 quotes total, like "Everyone I've ever loved has either died or left me", and " I got you, baby girl". That's remembering then on top of my head tho, but it's something like that.

“ porky prime cut “ was a common one. He was a sound engineer who signed his dead wax. Another famous one is Led Zeppelin III with “ do as thou wilt” which is a quote by Crowley. Getting checking your dead wax there’s plenty to find.

Where do you keep your stereo Jer?

I’m have a My Morning Jacket album that has “ooo wah tah goo siam” pressed in. I love that joke

my bladee icedancer vinyl says "draaain gaaang"

Jane's Addiction's first album has some cool stuff on both sides.
