This sucks?

Of course, the LP format does not have an exclusive hold on these messages. Looking through my 45RPM collection, I found two. On a Floor / Ed Matus' Struggle split-seven inch (Space Cadette Records 7, 1996) the Ed Matus' Struggle side declares "CHUPA SANGRE!" Sangre is Spanish for blood, to me. As for "chupa:"

• Hebrew: n. marriage,canopy
• Spanish: v. [he] sucks 
• Swahili: n. bottle 
• Hindi: adj. hidden 
• Slovenian: slang. long hair 
• Tibet: national dress

Perhaps, then, this is "he sucks blood?" But who does, and why? On the Floor side, we read, "ONE MILLION FROM THE SKY..." I have another inscribed split single, Penthouse / Country Teasers ( Butchers Wig SYRUP001, 1996). The A-Side has two phrases: "BUTCHERED WIGGERY!" and "A PORKY PRIME HAIRY CUT." On the reverse, "SECOND BEST WHITE DRUMMER OOT AE FIFE." and "ANOTHER PORKY PRIME CUT." The helpful Janette Ferrise from the UK offers, "oot ae is Scottish dialect for out of, and Fife is a Scottish town." This helps explain what "Edinburgh's least favorite sons" are getting at.

Reader Keith Murphy from NJ says:

Neat site! Chupa Chups is the leading brand of suckers in Mexico, so blood sucker makes sense. On Phil Spector's first big hit, I think either the 45 of Uptown or Hes a rebel, I forget, it says Phil + Annete...

(This is undoubtedly a reference to Annette nee Merar, Phil Spector's first wife. He named Annette Records after her and that was the label he debuted Cher on.)

... I think I have a record by the Mothertruckers, a folk group, that has some interesting things on it. If you are REAL interested I could look for it. I forget whether it was 45 or LP

I'd like to hear more, Keith!

The variations on “Porky’s Prime Cut” suggest George "Porky" Peckham, a British cutting engineer whose cuttings on popular and rock music are often legendary. Richmond Audio Society covers many varieties of the phrase, but not this one. (Thanks to Tod Smith for making this connection for me.) Peckham's master discs, and the records produced from them, are known as "Porky Prime Cuts" and often bear either the motto "A Porky Prime Cut" or a cryptic or humorous comment (signed "Porky"), etched into the run-out groove. Other inscriptions attributed to him include "Pecko" and "Pecko Duck".

One of his most technically demanding achievements was the so-called "three-sided" album, The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief (1973), mastered with two concentric grooves on side two, so that different material would be played depending on where the stylus was put down on the record's surface.
