Does one hit a new depth of nerdom when you start reading about tax scam vinyl? It's a fascinating topic - I went down a wormhole over the Christmas break reading about it. I hate Christmas so this was a good distraction.

Which leads me to this. I've loved the the Jackson Sisters version of Miracles since I first heard it on a 12inch remix I bought from a junk shop in Strathalbyn of all places. I also love a girl group. I knew the original album went for a lot but I naively didnt know it was on the tax scam label. I was put off buying a repress of this album as the Mr Bongo one sounded terrible - although I am aware now tax scam labels were not known for the audio quality...However I found a 96 Japanese repress whilst away and decided to roll the dice. Spun it today and it sounded surprisingly good. Even my partner commented how good it sounded.

I have this vauge memory from many years ago picking up a Tiger Lily record at a fair or something and not knowing it was a tax scam record. I just remember thinking- that's a nice record label and putting it back...I possibly put down some collectable gold.
