have you guys ever heard of this...
"Basically this DJ fella was out looking for records one day and came across some funky soul records from someone he's never heard of, but after closer inspection he realized that the records were fakes- they were made from cardboard and the grooves in the records were done by hand. These "records" were individual creations and couldn't be played on a record player. It was more about the fascination of being a soul superstar that Mingering Mike made his own records- over 100 albums with extensive liner notes, gatefold interiors, and some with shrinkwrap, as if purchased at real record shops."
here is a link to pics of the book about these "records"
