Rumor has it that they are hard to find records because they carve the vinyl's themselves, true or not, that's some serious shhh.. Lock em up.

because they have fucked people over when it comes to promising having various rare records in the past and then suddenly not knowing that they ever had the record in stock. also they have pressed up countless of bootleg vinyls with several rare/wanted tracks and in many cases from mp3's. case in point, the azareal reconstruction of east / west - the love i lost aka what ayumi hamasaki - connected (ferry corsten original mix) was called before altered and slapped on vocals.
also they pressed up azareal's reconstruction of pvd's born slippy remix, and this is just when it comes to trance.

I made some enquiries...

I'm afraid I have been unable to find out anything about this on the information you have provided. Can I suggest that you forward your enquiry onto the International Federation Phonographic Industry (IFPI) who are based in Regent Street, London or the West Midlands Police, who look after the Birmingham region and hopefully they may be able to assist you.
Best wishes,

So I emailed IFPI, but no response as yet...

Good
I actually reported them to the BPI and UK trading standards a couple of years ago when i bought what i thought was a rare record- and was some shitty repress with 4 different bootlegs on.
Glad to see they listen.

I too hope this is legit, and can't wait to see confirmation.
HTFR has fucked far too many folks over - And though it's been years since I've ordered from them, the wounds of warped records, shit quality bootlegs, and all around douchebaggery are still fresh.
When I was in London last year I wanted to find their store and burn that ****** to the ground.
The funny thing was when another forum all clubbed together and bombarded HTFR with e-mails asking when they were going to be stocking a made-up release... sure enough, a week or so later they listed it as in stock!
