its nothing to do with being unexperienced, it's simply for ease of use so you can utilise time elsewhere. they are also printing the key of the track on the sleeve. Get with the times!

p.s. whats the fuckin point in moaning about it here anyway!? go to anjunabeats.com and make a thread there or complain to [email protected]. If its not worth complaining about to them, then dont complain at all.

Oh noes, the poor bloke's upset! Maybe you can sue Anjuna for mental anguish or something?...

Bpm has been printed on sleeves forever.

I noticed this on my copy of Smith & Pledger - White/Black. Sure, it's easy to say, "Oh, they are making this too easy for the noobs with the BPM printed, etc." However, suppose I open my set with a track that is not at 138BPM (like White/Black). I still have to match my beats later on when I work in the track with the stated BPM. And even if I did nothing but spin every record with the same BPM, I have to cue and phrase properly, or my set will sound like holy hell.

Off topic, I'm digging some of this Smith & Pledger stuff, guys. I have Forever, White/Black, and Hijack. Anything else of theirs I should pick up?

guys stop joking around, this is a serious issue.

Jeez that's terrible. I also have this one vinyl that says: "THIS SIDE" and "THAT SIDE". I mean, what happened to A- and B-sides???? Dj-ing is getting way too easy this way! Unacceptable!

Sueeee!

You pick up this working girl who's hooked on smack, who hussles and scores. "That's all I do" she says, she says "Ten bucks for head, fifteen for half-and-half". She says "Three hits a day at 35 per", you say "That's seven tricks a day at least", but she says "Sometimes I get lucky. Once this guy gives me a bill-and-half just to eat me, only time I ever came".
You figure you can save her. You sell your color tv, that keeps her off the streets a whole day. You hawk your typewriter for one jolt. Then your shotgun, your watch. A week later you say "Listen I'm a little short", but she says "No scratch, no snatch". You say "Look it is better to give", but she says "Beat off creep".
One night they spot you on the street in your skibbies trying to sell your shoes. You tell them who you are, but they nail you. Then she happens by and she says "Christ you look fucked", she says "Hang tough!". But you don't say anything, you just think "what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me".

yeah, cause only the pros with their 1337 DJ skillz can figure out the BPM of a track.
