Bring ’em in, all of them! Show off your goodies!
My latest find is this funny 4CD promo box set from France called \"Virgin Delights\" released in 2001. It contains the track Untitled and the full artwork of this beautiful promo box with 4 CDs individually packed in cardsleeves can be admired on SPfreaks.com since a few minutes.

I pre-ordered AG.
I’m also tempted to try and order TAFH… there’s a good condition used one on Amazon.co.uk at the moment for under £40. I can afford it… but there are also a bunch of playstation 3 games coming out… and they are really useful for when i have free time…
It’s really annoying. I wish i had more money

[/quote:1z0e57mk]No need for more money. Just slowly accumulate. Like nonstop snowfall, slowly, you will have so much shit, you’ll need to post avalanche warnings.

[/quote:2enlrisd]Never seen this before Arthur. Pretty cool. I guess it’s not on Delabel though is it? Not that it really matters, just interesting as it’s from France.

I finally found a genuine DVD release of the video for The End Is The Beginning Is The End. And it was fucken’ easy after all… It’s on a Special Edition 2DVD of the Batman & Robin movie. It’s between the bonus material, which also contains 4 videos. And… I only paid ⬠8,50 for it. Boy, I’m happy! I love that song and the video to it.

heh, i paid 12 or 13 euro for it. but that was years ago. only watched it once, because i don’t really like that video. -

TEITBITE, not the best video (nor the worst). The song has such beautiful imagery- they could have done something better with it.
Now back on topic.
The most recent item I bought was the Hut double disc Adore with the interview CD. While listening to the interview disc I discovered James likes to listen to Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Go figure.

13 x 9 inch (A4 size that is, right?) trade ad posters is what they say yes. Isn’t that the same as a promo flat?
[/quote:3kpf2bgh]No, promo flats are 12 x 12 and are usually printed on both sides. And are also on harder stock paper, similar to cardboard.
Trade ads come from promotional record label magazines, and are pretty rare, as these are usually tossed after a quick thumb through.
-
Hmmm… right. Just to be sure about this, see this pic (again) and let me point you to the second-from-left little poster (just behind the I Am One 10\") and the little poster in front of the TAFH award, left of the Earphoria UK poster. Both are French A4 size promo \"things\". Are you saying the Earphoria UK poster (cardboard indeed) is a promo flat and the 2 French posters (thick shiny 2 x A4 fold out papers each, I thought they were Order Forms and hopefully you get what I mean here) are called Trade Ads (also)?
-
That is precisely what I’m saying.
The Greatest Hits thing you have is definitley not a promo flat.
Promo flats are meant to be displayed in stores. They usually send around 10 or so, maybe with some CDs and posters as well. If inspired, your store can hang them in a display. If not, they are either trashed or sold or given away.
And just underneath the store display, you may find a trade ad inside a magazine provided by certain labels for release dates and such. I think the trade ads usually precede the flats, but only by a month or so.
And promo flats are typically 12 x 12. I’ve personally never seen one that was a different size.

Nice items in this thread.
My collection growth’s stalled for a while now (unless I sell my only spare kidney also), so I treated myself to this Digipack recently – in ‘Zeitgeist Red.’
The discs are silver-bottomed, not gold.
[/quote:zy9fsgfy]
Looks quite a lot like this one… Is yours also in a wooden box? -
Looks like the one, A.
Here it is on eBay.
The one I have is box-free, which is a shame.

What is it exactly? The pic is kinda small, just like the price you paid.
[/quote:6cn5oy8r]
You can click on the picture and it will enlarge it. It is a Denmark promo Cd for "The Rose march"[/quote:6cn5oy8r]
Ah yes, thanks. That Danish promo is a bit in line with this onehttp://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?pa … &item=2104
But at least they didn’t make a typo in Pumpkins… I can understand why manillascissor is questioning that Danish promo. I don’t know either… I mean, 1 song only? Typo? Obviously a CDR? Hmmm…
Anyway, for the moment I think we will put it in the genuine CDs section. EAZYE121, could you PM me your real name and country for the Hall Of Fame? That is, if you allow us to use your pic?

Looks cool blueczarina! Bit politically incorrect, using the Arising! font on a 2000 concert, but who cares?
Will you scan it and send it in for the collection later, when you received it? Would be nice…
And I managed, with lots of help from my best friend in the US (you know who you are
), to get this top 3 rarity from my wantlist. It was a pretty close call, let me tell you… I never expected to get it anymore, as it is extremely rare. It wasn’t even on the SPfreaks website yet! I’m 
all over now!Boy oh boy, what a great weekend this is, together with kittykat’s stuffs…

When I get the DVD Arthur I will provide scans. I do think the cover is anachronistic. Plus I think the performance is with the "original" Pumpkins, not the new line up. I don’t care though as I like both.
Cool CD, lucky![/quote:138lefpk]
Cool
I’m curious as to which show its actually a DVD of! Congrads!
-

-

I don’t actually have them yet, but currently flying to me from the US is :
Posters :
~Black White subway size poster with band portraits in squares and French letters from the MCIS era~8×11 glossy print of Billy playing guitar on stage. Adore era I think, No pinholes
~SP with Garbage July 27 Cajundome art poster with WWII fighter pilots.
T-shirts :
~1996 tour shirt with yellow/orange cursive letters, silver stars and globe, black~Zeitgeist cover, back says \"Are you down with the mighty SP? grey shirt
~Machina Cover black
I’m not paying anything for these, just a trade for Irish indie/alt. rock music & some Irish herbs/incense/tea

i like pi, it is good.
i watched the intmate and interactive the other nite, it was good, but d’arcy’s singing was a bit off, she didn’t seem in a good mood for the interview either.
i liked it when they had questions from the audience, and a boy called on the phone, and then him and billy were talking about guitars and such, the lady doing the interview (the host i geuss) kept trying to get them to stop, they talked guitars for like 5 mins before she made them stop.
and someone asked a jimmy question, and billy was upset. but it was not long after the whole incident when they did the show.
but in all i really enjoyed it, and loved all the songs from adore that they played.

i bought the US promo for that’s the way yesterday. i couldn’t remember if i already got it. i hope not. my collection is one big mess so there’s no way to find out quickly.[/quote:2arr54tc]
Sounds like you have same organizing to do, because thats pretty bad.I just got my Adore press kit in the mail the other day. Its pretty cool and comes with two pages of info about the band Virgin sent along. Part of it lists how well MCIS sold in other countries around the world and another listed all of the awards the band had one up to that point. I was a suprised to see how many they had received and how many MCIS were sold.

My parents would NEVER do such thing. Instead they phone me when I was in Germany last weekend, to tell me there was a broadcast on Dutch tv later that night with a few tracks of the Pinkpop Festival last year. They ask me if they should record it for me… is that sweet or what?
I asked them to record it, as so far (to my knowledge) nothing of this festival was ever broadcast.
-
-
-
arthur your parents sound so sweet. can they be my parents too?
when i showed my mom the new stuff i had gotten she rolled her eyes and said, ohh goodness.
i think i may have sp overloaded her when i was a teenager, and she got mad at me, and got rid of all of my sp stuff, well actually all my stuff. sp included, i was upset, but not anymore, and i can and will get it all again, and she won’t be able to touch any of it.

I recently got this.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … :IT&ih=006
Thing is,on this site it says the cd comes in a jewel case.This is in a plastic sleeve.
The insert looks as its been photo copied,i think.
Fake possibly?

That looks real from the scan on the auction site. You can tell from the smudging inside the plastic case.
-
-
That’s what i thought made it look photocopied,though.
Do you think this is a new find,then?
The print on the disc seems to be very fragile also.[/quote:xwtt831f]
It is mentioned here already:http://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?pa … S&item=204
But we don’t have pics yet… Send them in if you like?
-
-
weird that spfreaks.com only has the one that comes in a jewel case. i can’t check right now, but i’m fairly certain that i have this promo, but in a plastic sleeve with paper inserts. i would even be inclined to say that the plastic sleeve one is more common than the one that comes in a jewel case.
i wouldn’t be afraid of this being a fake.
i’m not saying the jewel case one is a fake, but it’s more likely that someone put the paper inserts from the plastic sleeve and put them in a jewel case, than the other way around. (my bet is that both versions are real and were released as such though.) -

I finally managed to lay my hands on a really obscure 1992 German release called Going Underground. It’s a 2 CD compilation that gives an overview of the alternive music scene around 1984 – 1992. It contains a Smashing Pumpkins track, that’s why I badly wanted it. But I only just now found out it’s Rhinoceros, because I just received it. And the whole compilation: awesome listening experience! So glad to finally have it! And many many thanks goes to our webmaster (and personal friend if I may say so) manillascissor that helped me getting this one. You rock mister!

eww, i tried that for a while. i just couldn’t stand not eating red meat, i know that probably sounds gross, but it is just really good. and i have to eat it. not like every day, but at least 3 times a day. jk, more like 3 times a week. steak is good, pork chops taste good, bacon tastes good.
(this is where you say \"sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but i still won’t eat the filthy mofo’s)
can you tell i have watched pulp fiction to many times?

yo, i have that Perfect single. bought it around the time Adore was out.
shit, didn’t realize this stuff was going for $26… i paid like $6 for mine, and the cd kind of blows.
the b-sides they put out on the Ava Adore single were decent — or at least ‘Once In Awhile’ was a really good song. the other one, czarina, or whatever, yeah, don’t listen to that song ever.
and ‘summer’, from the Perfect single… blech. just blech. with b-sides (just like deleted scenes on DVDs), sometimes it’s like, \"wow, that shoulda been left in\" other times it’s like \"wow, can’t always write brilliance, maybe shoulda left this one on the cutting room floor\".
so yeah, sorry to rain on your parade, but that Perfect single sucks. maybe i should sell mine on eBay…

I think czarina / Once in a while and summer are great songs.But the Perfect singel i bought is the Japan PROMO.Got the standard singel if you can call it that,but the Japan PROMO was missing in my collection so those 26 dollars was well paid i think

a quick question
i just got my TFE promo and it says \"restricted release watermarked disc\" along the bottom of the sleeve.i was just wondering if anybody knows what a watermarked disc is. it says something on it about there being a unique identifier that allows the record label to identify the intended recipient as the source of unauthorized copies.
what does this mean? is there some kind of extra coding or something on the disc?

you’ve been really cleaning up on ebay, huh, mayonaise? good stuffs[/quote:3rp0ega5]

[/quote:3rp0ega5]i was actually thinking that. the stuff you’ve been getting has been a bit pricey.
but hey- its cool stuff. [/quote:3rp0ega5]A bit pricey.I agree Blueczarina.But some items i got pretty cheap,and some as you say,a lil pricey.But what can i do.We dont have any hardcore cd/vinyl stores here in Denmark,so its a bit hard for me to get what i want,so ebay is my only souce.I´ve been checking around the internet for good on-line shop,but the items were expensive.So if anybody knows of a nice decent price shop for buying records pls let me know,thanks

We believe it contains unreleased as of yet versions of Try, Try, Try and Age of Innocence, but we have yet to verify.[/quote:vop13qyq]
what makes you think these versions are unreleased?and fuck ebay for not warning me. god fucking dammit.[/quote:vop13qyq]
Well, for starters, Age of Innocence has an actual drum intro, instead of the fade in version. I haven’t given it a proper listen, to be honest.
-
-
-
the real shame is that these two cds went for really cheap. it’s not like i didn’t have a chance to win them.
i don’t really care that much about the TFE watermarked cd, since i already have 3 of those, but i was really, really interested in buying that untitled cd-r.can someone send me a rip of the untitled acetate? if possible in flac. thanks.

Sickly cheap if you ask me!! I paid even a bit more for it when I bought it new in 1996 (I Think)
Really shows how the market can value somethings different but at the same quantity
Compare with other items limited to 1000……..
I think it’s a really cool thing to have in the collection.

i dont get whats with the clothing attire sometimes. i mean, if your just doing it cuz you feel like it, or if its more comfortable to you, or if it helps you connect more with your playing, or if its that you feel that the attire goes with the music and sort of compliments it, or if you just dont give a fuck what anyone thinks, then fine, go for it. run on sentence. ive just always wondered whats the motivation.

hehe, i don’t need any spare kidneys,
but i just got one of those 1979/BWBW 7\" singles- nothing much, but cool. i always think its funny when i pick up packages at the post office though. for some reason they always give me a weird look because i’m always getting CD shaped packages from other countries. you would think Dazey was shipping me some of the leftover shrooms from the Arthur van Spud incident or something.
i swear they think i’m getting drugs when i’m only getting pumpkins.

I don’t beleive there is a first and second pressing. The boxes could have been assembled at two different locations and therefore the hinges are different…. or there were two suppliers of hinges to the final assembly line. I purchased my the day it came out at Best Buy and it has the so-called \"second pressing\" hinges. A promo box I have also has the \"second pressing\" hinges; one would believe that a promo box would be one of the first off the line.

there definitely is a first and second pressing.you’re right though, the boxes in the spfreaks collection have different hinges for the different pressings, but this doesn’t mean this is a correct way to identify different pressings.
the only way you can be sure is if you still have that white label with the barcode. (this is not a sticker, by the way.) -

yesterday i bought that suspicious looking danish promo cd for the rose march. i got it for cheap on the bay of E. otherwise i don’t think i would have bought it.[/quote:3kuylojn]

? But congratz on the item, im still looking for it -
-
the only way you can be sure is if you still have that white label with the barcode. (this is not a sticker, by the way.)[/quote:3p32nra3]
Well my TAFH box does not have a barcode on it anywhere, nor does it have the songs listed on the back of the box. It’s just the box design and nothing else on it..and on the cd’s itself no barcode-which I assume none of the cd’s have that…
So how am I to figure out which pressing I have if there is no barcode and it’s suppose to have one…
Why doesn’t mine have a barcode? -
i got to looking at mine also, the hinges look like the ones for the second pressing, and also have no white paper on the back, and the cd’s inside also have no barcodes on them, the code is on the left side next to the title on the spine of the cd case. so what does that mean? are me and reggaes just strange?
-
no, no, they all look identical. ok, there are different hinges on some, but as far as i know, the box and everything inside the box is identical for every copy of the box set, no matter where or when it’s been released.
the piece of white paper with the barcode and tracklist was attached on the back of the box right before it was sealed. if you bought your box second hand/not sealed, it’s not so strange that it didn’t come with the barcode label. it is a separate piece of paper that doesn’t really go anywhere and i guess many people didn’t keep it (and why would they, right?).
and when i say \"not so strange\", i think i mean \"not strange at all\".the cds don’t have a barcode, because they’re part of the box set. they don’t need a barcode, since they’re not meant to be sold seperately. (that’s the easiest way to recognize a cd from the box set, by the way: there’s no barcode. if it were one of the commercial singles, there would be a barcode.)
-
i just realized that the UK release, which has the same international release code as the first US pressing, has different hinges than the first US pressing.
one would think that the UK release was also part of this first pressing, right? since it has the same release code and all.so there we are. you can’t conclude much from the hinges.

ok, so there is no way really to tell if it is first or second or uk? unless we have the original paper that came with it. well that is ok, i am just glad to have it.[/quote:16vngtgz]
yes, i believe that’s how it is. as far as i know they look all the same, except for the separate barcode label (that gets lost easily), and the hinges (that don’t say much).being glad to have it is the right spirit. i was going to add that to my previous post, but it was long enough already.
-
OK… So I can understand there is a first and second pressing with the UPC# being different, but why would the second pressing have a lower number \"3\" and the first has an \"8\". Mine has a \"3\" and was bought in November. This leads me to believe that it is a first edition with a \"3\". It doesnt make sense to go down. It would be like Trent starting at Halo 25 and his next release be Halo 24, doesnt make sense. Also with respect to all Hut issues they go up in numbers.

don’t just look at the last number. the entire release code is different.also, i didn’t read the last posts good enough. as far as i know, the second pressing was US only. there’s only one pressing with the UK release code.

There’s 1 thing I don’t get here. Is this an official deal, approved by the band or Billy Corgan? And secondly, is it a high quality, professional, recording that is being sold?[/quote:3estq6t4]
of course it’s an official deal. how else would they be able to pull this off?and i’m sure it will be high quality, professional recordings. the quality could be discussed though: it’s not impossible that they try to get these out asap, not spending enough time on mixing it properly, etc.
it would be cool though if they would make a proper cd release. this is, factory pressed cds (maybe limited to 1000 or 2000 copies), and artwork/packaging that is a bit more decent than a recycled cardboard sleeve with a sticker.
http://www.pixiesmusic.com sells limited cds, and they’re factory pressed and come in a nice digipack. the nice product and the fact that it’s limited makes it ok to ask $25 for it. asking $22 for a cd-r (or two), or $18 for a flac download, seems a bit much for me… -
-
I see. Although I only see a lot of guessing and wondering so far, I think it’s better to wait to see the first releases to see the daylight, to judge properly. A handmade CD-R with crappy artwork is no addition to my collection either. Factory pressed stuffs is, however.[/quote:35hx759u]
this is from a month ago: http://www.countingcrows.com/index.php? … topic_3881I ordered the first 10 and am still waiting for them to arrive (but I’m in New Zealand). As far as I know they are pressed by Kufala who did the last Pearl Jam and Crowded House tours. If they are the same as these they come in a recycled cardboard slipcase with a sticker with the artwork and tracklisting on the front/back. The actual discs are printed CDRs.[/quote:35hx759u]
Yep, that’s it. I’m real disappointed now. If I’d known these were going to be CDRs I probably wouldn’t have ordered them. $20 for a CDR. Sucks. Probably not going to order anymore of them now. Packaging leaves a lot to be desired too.[/quote:35hx759u]
IF they’re from Kufala, I can give you a heads up, as I own all the Pearl Jam ones. They are top notch quality. Cardboard digipacks with a wraparound sticker with artwork and tracklisting on the back. The discs have printing on them (a picture). They don’t even really look like CDR’s. They look great.[/quote:35hx759u]
Here’s a photo of the first 9 shows:
[/quote:35hx759u]so apparently the cd-rs aren’t just cd-rs like you would make them at home. the artwork is printed on them. (i don’t have a cd label printer, so i wouldn’t be able to do this myself.)
another thing: maybe they’ll use another company to create the cds. but i doubt it: they’ve used this one for a couple of tours of other bands as well. if not all of them.
ugh, i don’t know.
it might be best to wait until the first are released, as you suggested. INDEEDELY-DOODELY. -

on ebay, i just won the black sessions show from ’93 promo vinyl![/quote:3cqa320m]
Bootleg right? Nice one though
[/quote:3cqa320m]you know, im not sure. theres a lot of black sessions vinyls out there. if im not mistaken, black sessions are shows in france that are radio broadcasted, then come out in vinyl format. ive got the bootleg cd of this show, thanks to dazey. i think its more of a promo. i bet cool as ice cream could drop some knowledge on this matter.
and nice buys on the muzzle promo and the rose march promo.

a yet undiscovered pumpkins vinyl. yep, still finding unknown vinyls.

Brand spankin new sealed copy of MCIS triple vinyl, 14,205. I was glad to find this, havnt seen many of the AUTHENTIC versions that were still sealed, but I havnt been collecting Pumpkins memorabilia long. Ive been collecting vinyl for years now but just recently started collecting pumpkins vinyl. I wasnt savy to the bootlegs until I emailed arthur after id allready won an ebay auction on a bootleg copy for $200…fortunately, I caught it in time and didnt have to pay for it after I made a claim. Needless to say, the buyer was out of Germany and after the claim he withdrew from all his other auctions and started selling the boots again under the name missliszie…

Yeah, fuck that though. If they accept PayPal, you’re covered, no worries.
If they have a decent amount of transactions, they are not in the business of ripping people off, they are in the business of selling CDs, etc. You know?

hey mayo- what exactly is the exchange rate there and do you communicate in English?
i’m just wondering because its Hong Kong ebay. i guess i think it would be harder to buy from. [/quote:5rz1sdjv]This seller is awesome, just like Manilla said.His english is very good.Try go to Hk Ebay, at first your lost, i was for sure, but on the top right side there you can press english and things thats listed will be translated to english, if you dont do that your fucked, i was fucked first time, now i know my way around.I think its pretty easy to buy from HK ebay, just make sure they accept paypal then your safe.Im thinking about checking out some more of those Asian Ebays since i love collecting Asian cds.
You still got the other version of the Taiwan Adore.I still need to find it.Going to be hard though.I think the version you got is awesome.

SIYL and one of the Adore tracks may be the only promos i’d be after. don’t know of the top of my head.
unfortunately my sp purchasing is on hold for the next few months as i’m studying for the next two.
i have a couple of albums and a few singles on vinyl.

Seriously, I’m not kidding at all. I’m working in IT as a consultant, and as you probably know, people don’t stick around that long. So reaching 10 years is quite something. So we get a really nice present. They asked me what I wanted within a certain budget, and it seemed that the CD-set was exactly within the budget. I asked for it yesterday and my boss emailed me back today: You’re gonna have it.
Man, was I happy! I had noooo budget to buy it myself, so I was soooo happy!

I found out that \"Various – Indie Top 20 Issue 13 (2xLP, Gat)\" exists. And, you know, bought it.
Yet one more unearthed vinyl. This one I expect is quite rare.
And I still need to upload my Now That’s What I Call Music 27 promo 2LP as well. I guess I’m the vinylized version of Arthur when it comes to compilation records.

i missed out on a lost highway vinyl yesterday. i was trying to bid in the last seconds, but ebay didn’t accept it, and when i tried again, the auction was over. it went for 64 euros. i was going to bid a lot higher.
goddammit. i’ve been looking for this for years. this one looked good, and the seller trustworthy.
of course, it’s not impossible that the winner had placed a bid that was even higher than what i was planning to bid, but that i’ll never know.

it sucks cuz theres under a miniute to go and your waiting for just the right moment to place your bid and then your down to like 10 seconds and your thinking how this is gonna be great and you’re about to bid and then… you’re denied. for whatever reason. its the worst feeling in the world. first confusion, then anger, and frustration, and then resentment towards whoever won it.
-
oh no, no bad feelings towards the person who won it. i’m glad for him or her. if i had been able to place my bid, they wouldn’t have won, which would be sad for them, or it would have been 100 euros more expensive, which is also sad in a way. in case of the second situation, i’m actually glad i didn’t bid. i saved someone a lot of money. (which is of course money the seller isn’t getting, but oh well… i’m sure they never paid that much for this vinyl. it’s weird how prices vary.)

hmmm. i wanted to bid on that canadian promo too. (if i know for sure that your bid is way higher than what i’m going to bid, i’ll stay away.)and i also saw that "promo" of if all goes wrong. it’s a very small picture, but it looks like they took the regular dvds and put them in simple white envelopes. i’m not saying this isn’t a promo, but if it is what i think it is, anyone can fake this one in two seconds.
if you win this one, let us know if there’s anything special about the discs or envelopes, ok? -

And you know what… in the last minutes somebody was bidding, and he/she missed my highest bid by… 2.50 US$ only. If he/she had taken just a few seconds more to give it another go, I would have lost the auction. Makes you wonder… Oh well…
-
-
-
-
Today I feel like I learned a lesson on here. It’s not the first time that someone announced that they were going for an item on eBay, and that I found out afterwards that I would have bid a lot higher (and would have won the item if I had placed my bid).
This time I was simply too late to even participate, and another time the item got pulled from eBay for example, but that doesn’t matter. I always feel like I’m not really allowed to bid on these kind of \"announced\" auctions. That bidding would make me some kind of cheater.
From now on, I’m going to ignore all similar announcements and let the eBay mechanism work the way it works. If I want to bid, I will. One day you win, another day you lose.I’m not really sad or mad about any past auctions though. It’s only greed and materialism. For things you don’t need at all. So I’m placing those very low on my priority list. And the idea that someone else got something I’d really want for a good price also makes me happy in a way. It’s weird, but that’s how it is. I’m usually on the buyer’s side, so I empathise.
-
-
I still stick to the idea of the unspoken \"gentleman’s agreement\" I have with a few people on here (in fact with everybody, when I think of it): if someone sees the item first and announces to go bidding, I’m staying away. I’m not going to give the seller the pleasure of tons of money. Instead I want the pleasure of a fair price to go to my fellow collectors. Even if that means that I have to wait a bit longer.
The only problem I have is that the guest browsers/collectors on here (who are 5-10 times the number of SPfreaks members I think) are aware via this public forum that a rare item has popped up on eBay, so the number of (potential) bidders might increase anyway…

Yep.I totally agree with Arthur and Thom.If i see an item that i want i simply PM the hardcore collectors here in our forum and tell them if they could stay away from this particularly item i want to bid on, and the gentelmens of our community dont bid on the items i want, because of the respect for each other.Thats one of the things i so love about this place, respect for each other as collector.I soooooo wanted to make a bid for the 3 x Try Canada promo that Arthur wanted, but he was the first one to find it and pm me about saying if i could let him have it.Of course he could, so i dont make a bid for it, plain and simply.His always been nice to me when i found an item he did not have, did he make a bid for it ? never evar, same goes for Manila and Cool, they dont make any bids either if im frist.Well mostly, sometimes there probo an item someone else want so to keep the price down only one person makes a bid, .This is one of the things i love about the place, respect for a fellow collector and to keep the price down so the seller dont get overpaid for an item.Some item will apear again on EBay ,some will probo never, who knows.Lets keep this at it is, recpect for each other as collectors and freinds.

Just got me another Taiwan release.

Good thing that the \"unspoken agreement\" got written out for once. So it’s basically the first person who finds something on eBay and calls it that can bid on it? That doesn’t seem right to me.
I feel more for Thom’s approach: tell each other how high you’re going to bid and then only the person with the highest bid actually bids. This way you’re not unnecessarily pushing the price up for each other.
(I didn’t know about this rule, so I never \"called\" items on here, but usually when that happens it’s about items I’m already following in My eBay. Does this mean I found it first?)
(The problem with the gentlemen’s agreement Arthur proposed is that it’s based on who found or called it first. It’s not pleasant to let an item for someone, only to find out afterwards they got outbid for a price that is way lower than what you were going to bid. This way everyone loses, but it could have been avoided.)
I’ve done this who-is-going-to-bid-the-highest thing before, and that worked all right. But it’s a lot of effort to do this for every rarity you want to bid on, and in 90% of the cases, it doesn’t even matter: it’s only useful if you and the person you have an agreement with would be the two highest bidders. As soon as someone else shows up and bids high, this person is usually deciding the price.

Takes a lot of effort with 10-15 people, right? First call, first serve for me. Besides, it gives a fair chance to the less richer collectors also, that’s a part I like next to it. -

I feel everyone’s perspectives here on the bidding aspect of eBay. Here’s my two cents, so to speak:
I am a sniper. I don’t place a bid early, as I have a high profile name w/i the collecting community (samderek) and I’ve pissed off plenty of people in the past. So I have a target on my head, for jealous bidders who want to artificially inflate the auction, just to make me pay more; I don’t just say this, I’ve fell victim in the past (back when you could see the names) repeatedly, and the seller would then offer me the item again at my high price because the first bidder was never serious about paying. This is even more of a concern now, as sellers cannot leave negative feedback against buyers.
My solution is simple. I found a site that bids for me. I don’t even have to be online. I’ve won every auction on eBay this way, for the past two years. I send an email to a few people I know may be interested, to let them know I found it \"first\". Out of respect, most don’t bid.
However, I also agree with Bram. If I notify him that I’m going to snipe, he can still place a fair bid as well. He usually bids low anyway.
Point being, no one knows how much I’m going to snipe and only a few know that I’m even interested.I feel like I always win this way, literally. On eBay, with fellow collectors, and even assholes who want to make me pay high prices. This is how I will continue to bid.

So far for me trying to bring in some gentleman’s attitude in the collectors’ world. What a mistake. Collectors suck & they are greedy assholes, all of them. Boy, do I pity them. Tsss… OK, seriously now. I have no issues with who-ever that is bidding on auctions in his/her own way. And I won’t change my attitude either, because it brought me many friends and even more rare releases.

The Everlasting Gaze UK promo (with the blue Virgin logo) and If All Goes Wrong dvd promo.
and i also saw that "promo" of if all goes wrong. it’s a very small picture, but it looks like they took the regular dvds and put them in simple white envelopes. i’m not saying this isn’t a promo, but if it is what i think it is, anyone can fake this one in two seconds.
if you win this one, let us know if there’s anything special about the discs or envelopes, ok?[/quote:347vtyuj]

ok so I bought Earphoria. Now since I have no clue if it’s official or a bootleg not listed..I’ll tell ya it’s light blue with pink hearts on the front with no Virgin records printing on the cd.
It does say 1994 on the back and has lines through all of the sevens that are printed on the back of the cd cover.
Arthur I am sending pics to you of this one. I am not seeing this on the collection page. None of them have pink hearts -

ok now mine is light blue with pink hearts not red.
Also it has absolutely no Virgin printing on the front of the cd.
It has one page insert also has lines through all of the numbers 7’s on the back.
I have no idea if it’s a fake or not..
with my luck it’s probably a fake
I sent pics to the spfreaks email.
the code on the back of the actual cd are
PI5055B
IFPI L111 thanks Mayo for the link, but it was no help…

I bought 8 or 9 cd’s in a lot sale from ebay -
That does help! If it says 1994 and it doesn’t look like the official 1994 one on spfreaks.com, it’s easy: fake.

Is the cover made out of one piece of card, or are they two separate pieces of paper (front and back)?

Still looks genuine to me, but it’s definately not one of Delabel’s best promos. Let’s face it, they already made 2 different very nice Greatest Hits promos (in a looooong line of pretty cool promos!), so why fuck it up again with this less nicer promo? Weird indeed, if you ask me. Oh you did ask me… -

Oh, for the record: they did a few Earphoria promos that are looking like booties, but in fact they are genuine 2002 promos from other countries. A few examples:

I’m not sure about the text on that listing. Rocket WAS released as a single in the UK, it was just vinyl only. I don’t see anything to suggest this disc wasn’t just related to that rather than being for a cd single issue. Given the tracklistings of the other SD singles I’d expect a cd to have at least 3 tracks. 2 tracks suggests a 7\" related release to me.
-
With this rare, most probably 1 of a kind, UK acetate/test pressing popping up in 2008, it seems that Rocket was intended in this country as a single. To be released on 1993/12/28, as the sticker implies. It turned out that Rocket was only released in Australia. Some promos for Rocket are also known, coming from Spain and the US.[/quote:3oy6bdej]
I agree with Thom.
The ID suggests that this has something to do with the 7\". A cd release would have gotten an different release code. -
I googled \"Chop Em Out\" (mentioned on the front insert) and apparently that is or used to be a studio or something audio related in London. I think this cd was made by Chop Em Out while doing some work on the Rocket 7\" release. (mixing? mastering?)

This is the only reference I can see to the UK Rocket vinyl, which was indeed released as HUTL 48. I’ll change the text.But maybe the release date of the Siamese Singles vinyl boxes should be adjusted a little also? They are now set to Summer 1994 (July) and a testpressing of the Rocket vinyl was set to June 1994, because I read somewhere that the Siamese Singles vinyl boxes hit the shelves in Summer 1994. What do the vinyl experts recollect in this matter?
Oh, a funny thing I just noticed: the US Rocket cd promo is set to 1993/12/28 (same date is mentioned on the HUT acetate we discuss here). Could it be that it is just the date of the promo cd itself?

Indeed it’s the same date, but the tracklist isn’t the same and release code is different…
Perhaps this HUT acetate is a \"pre-vinyl\" version : perhaps they used to press Rocket vinyls ?
For the date (28th Dec), perhaps they thinked release the siamese single boxset at the end of 1993 (for Xmas ) ? -

In UK and most other (if not all) countries, Xmas is on the 25th and 26th of December. Releasing it on the 28th of 1993 would be just in time for Xmas 1994 then… I’m not sure if cds are used as a master to press vinyl also… My best guess is that this is a reference cd for band/label people for the upcoming release of the Rocket vinyl single. Maybe you can ask your seller about it, where it came from?

Ive never heard Jimmys album before

i like the album a lot… it’s a jazz influenced rock album, featuring jimmy’s drumming… half of the songs
are instrumentals, the rest with different singers (rob dickinson, billy mohler, billy corgan).
it’s definitely worth a listen, but it’s not comparable to smashing pumpkins or zwan recordings.my favourite tracks: cranes of prey, streetcrawler, life begins again, owed to darryl, loki cat
p.s.: on amazon you can listen to samples…

Just got two more TW CDs. One of which is the Gish w/ white obi-strip and sealed![/quote:7o3qrgq3]
Taiwan Gish with a white obi wtf ??? I only thought MCIS had the white obi strip.I only got the green obi MCIS though, would love to get the white one as well.[/quote:7o3qrgq3]
I think the white ones got phased out, but they used them in the early 90s.

Thats some very cool pictures Benway!! Where they not expensive ?[/quote:35li2y48]
So – so.
The last one was cheap: 20$ (with shipping). It’s in near mint condition, but unfortunately it’s already mounted on a thin foam-board. The one with the Lion was a long time available on Ebay for around 20-25$.The other two were more expensive. Can’t remember exactly, but i think something between 50-100$.
(plus the frames)
And yes these Lithos are phantastic. I like them a lot.

Amazing stuff indeed. If I had the money I would (try to) collect them also. But why did they only 4 of the whole set as proper lithos? I mean, these are all the lithos available: -

What dou you mean with "But why did they only 4 of the whole set as proper lithos?"?
There are two series of lithographs:
– The first series is the Machina Artworkas seen .
The prints are limited (100), numbered + signed and it looks that they used handmade paper for it.– The second series are the 4 promotional prints, unnumbered / unsigned. They are printed on thicker paper / cardboard. And they’ve printed (most probably) more than 100.
And if i had some money and the opportunity i would buy some of the machina artwork lithographs.

I just purchased, the UK 2 x DVD promo of "If all goes wrong" for 5 pounds sterling!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote:pn0m6llp]
Nice one Bryan, I paid around 11 times that amount! Since the exchange rate EUR-UKPound is really not that bad now, I wasn’t that grumpy about it though…By the way, is your promo also just the normal dvds in a paper slipcase with a plastic window?

I just managed to encode all the tracks to Mp3 files from If all goes wrong to my HD on my pc.So now i can actually listen to all the music without even using the dvd´s anymore, quality is also good.Yay

I couldn’t help buying this 3cd radio set. I have emailed a few times with the seller (an actual radio dj himself) and he was rightaway willing to ship to Europe, instead of to US only. As we are both Kiss fans (yes, I used to be one in the old days before Smashing Pumpkins came into my live!
), it was a nice conversation, and I’m VERY proud of this buy. As far as I know (correct me if I’m wrong) there have no soundboard quality songs leaked from that very special Pumpkins concert, except for Money & X.Y.U. Now we can add Today to that little list also. As far as the seller knows there are just a few of these 3cd sets on the market (he only knew of 2, including this one) and he is a Kiss collector for 22 years already. So I guess he knows what he talks about. Anyway, this is what I’m talking about:\"KISS !!!
THIS IS THE 1998 OPENING NIGHT OF THE PSYCHO CIRCUS TOUR AT DOGER STADIUM!!! THESE ARE THE ACTUAL 3 DISCS FROM THE ALBUM NETWORK STAMPED WITH THE MERCURY RECORDS LOGO!!! IVE BEEN HOLDING ON TO THESE FOR YEARS…TIME FOR THEM TO FIND A NEW HOME. THESE DISCS CONTAIAN ALL COMMERCIALS,INTERVIEWS AND THE FULL, UNCUT PREFORMANCE. INCLUDING INTERVIEWS WITH THE CIRCUS RINGMASTER FOR THE CIRCUS SHOW THAT WAS GOING ON THERE,SPOTS FOR THE KISS PROWLER CAR, INTERVIEWS WITH FANS, AND A LENGHTY KISS INTERVIEW RIGHT BEFORE THEY TAKE THE STAGE!!
AND EVEN A INTERVIEW WITH BILLY C. FROM THE SMASHING PUMPKINS..WHO TALKS ABOUT DRESSING UP LIKE THE BEATLES FOR THIS SHOW AND OPENING FOR KISS!! IT ALSO HAS ONE LIVE TRACK FROM THE SMASHING PUMPKINS!!! ( \"TODAY\" IS PLAYED!!)
THE DISCS ALSO CONTAIN MANY LIVE AND STUDIO SONGS ADDED FROM KISS AS WELL. THE DISCS PLAY EXCELLENT AND ARE A TRUE PIECE OF KISSTORY. FREE SHIPPING IN THE U.S. ONLY!!! ALL OVERSEAS BIDDERS CHECK FOR POSTAGE RATES. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING….!!!\"

omg, arthur!
that is an awesome find.are you planning to share the interview and today with the rest of us? i’d love to hear those.
i believe you are correct: soundboard recordings of money (that’s what i want) and x.y.u. were included on the faeomm tape. besides that i think only (two?) audience recordings of that show are available. -
-
I just thought about another recording: Cash Car Star was shown on tv.
Then I checked splra.org and they have an FM>DAT recording listed of Today and the interview. That must be someone who taped that radio show you just bought, Arthur.
This recording is listed as \"unsurfaced\" though, which means they know it exists, but it’s not available online. -

It’s my lucky day I guess. Traded a few things from my wantlist with another SPfreaks member, amongst it this rare Swedish promo:

I also have my doubts.I noticed both promos have typos. The Tarantula promo says "Chamberlain" instead of "Chamberlin" and the That’s the Way promo says "Smashing Pumkins" instead of "Smashing Pumpkins". But this doesn’t prove anything. Anyone can make these mistakes: a bootlegger, or someone at Warner Sweden (or wherever these promos are supposed to be made).
On the other hand, if you compare these promos to the Australian promos (with inserts that don’t fit nicely in the cd case), I think they’re on a similar level of crappiness. But as far as I know, nobody doubts the Australian promos are genuine. (Or am I wrong about that?)

In Sweden it is too cold to write properly, and in Ozzieland live all the deported criminals from the UK. You think they can write? Or create proper promo releases? No way. All promos are legit, I’m 99.9999% sure. By the way, Jimmy’s last name is in fact Chamberlain, and not Chamberlin. There is a story behind this, but I cannot recall that now.

TEITBITE was back in the day when they weren’t using cd-rs as often as today.What (kind of) convinced me that these Swedish promos are legit, is that a seller who was selling the That’s the Way promo on eBay, also had a lot of other EU and Scandinavian promos for sale, and some looked similar, but others looked a lot better, like they weren’t even cd-rs.
Someone who would be faking these to make some money would typically only sell similar fake looking promos. -

I have the same way of thinking about my Israeli promos. For some unknown reason they all appeared on the market a while back, but not only Smashing Pumpkins promos, also promos for other bands’ releases. I gave the other promos a look every now and then also, and I thought it would make not much sense to create that promo stuff in such rather huge quantities for rather cheap prices, and another thing: in such variety of stickers/logos/fonts etc. When that action was meant to make a lot of money with fake promos for many bands, it would have been discovered sooner or later, like with the Earphoria 1994 fake promos. Does this make sense? Again, I truly believe the Australian and Swedish promos are genuine. Furthermore, Virgin didn’t do much in Scandinavia when it comes to promo releases, but Warner Brothers obviously has a promo policy for Scandinavia, I like to think (see Denmark promo for Tarantula for example). -

Another radio cd was brought to my attention (second chance offer on eBay), and because I didn’t bid that high the first time I came across it, I took the second chance. The other one went for 15 dollars more, hehe.

do you know what the two white squares on one side of the display card are?[/quote:3txzgd48]
The display card was probably meant to slide in behind a Smashing Pumpkins divider in a row of CDs. The white square things are sticky if you remove the siding and would stick to divider to advertise the newest album.

I see.But why did they put the tracklist of the 1991-1998 promo on the display card? This promo wasn’t available for the buying public, was it? So why spend about half of the space on its tracklist?
Also, did you notice how they say Landslide is a b-side of Disarm, which isn’t incorrect, but it would be more logical if they said "Landslide (Pisces Iscariot 1994)".
Or, and this is way off, "Eye (Pisces Iscariot 1996)". -
Yeah, my CD is sealed, but it’s sealed within the display card as well. I spent $150.
But it’s cool it’s packaged together. Makes it more of a promo "release" from France, in a weird way.[/quote:160bn1sw]
I have seen several of those packages over the years, but I never thought of buying it. It is just the EU cd of 1991-1998, with a promo/display item that comes with it, but not really fixed to it. Of course that can be said of the French Machina snakeskin promo also somehow, but I thought that one was way more attractive as a set. I do not collect those promo/display cards (I have a few though, when they came for free with a French cd I bought/traded) and I already have the 1991-1998 cd itself… I saw this one on eBay 2 times, first time nobody bid, second time obviously Cool As Ice Cream bid and got it. Good price also I guess. Congrats! -
-
the sticky squares are indeed for either a divider in a rack-
or to mount the card on a door or something, to stick it on a glass plate and thus display it-
i guess the rack-option is the best, never seen it as such though anywhere in a FNAC… did see it two times on a glass door or shopwindow-
but all is welll- i’ve got a couple of those on my wall, I think these are cute -

No way these were sold as is in French stores at the time.By the way, I think I found why they put the tracklist of the cd on there: it was meant to be playing at the cd stores. This way, people could read the tracklist of what they were hearing, and in the mean time, check if they already got all the available Pumpkins albums.
If I’m not mistaken, the display even says something like "the cd you’re hearing is not for sale" in very small letters. -

Here’s what I think happened to most of these. They are shipped together, both sealed, and then sealed together. Store receives it, opens it up. Either uses it, or doesn’t. Mine came sealed completely, but had small cut to the side to remove the CD, which is also still sealed. Then they slapped a barcode on it to sell. Either the store did this or someone like EIL. I believe these came sealed together originally, because the display card is obviously meant to accompany the CD.

[/quote:2u6h2suh]Is this your second?[/quote:2u6h2suh]
No, first. I made a little mistake in My Collection stating I got it already. I checked it and it wasn’t true. I did buy it long time ago though, but it was not send yet (I always wait till I have several Japanese cds, then I have them shipped in 1 time => it’s a little cheaper), so I think that’s why I made that mistake. I had it, but not really yet.Another buy I just did, it contains Jackie Blue (but this 3CD promo is from 2000):

I have the other type too/two, Arthur. I thought it was just a copied sticker with the US/EU CD single used.[/quote:a9jvrs2a]
No, the one I have here now is almost the same Japanese CD like shown above, in a slimline jewelcase with a 4 page booklet as front artwork. The back of the jewelcase is black, like those ordinary cd-r cases from a cheap media shop. On the front of the booklet is the black and white flag and the text we already know of, for example, the Tarantula UK cardsleeve promo (and many others of course). Then 2 white pages, and on the back of the booklet the Warner Brothers logo with "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY / NOT FOR SALE".The text on the CD is:
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS (note the capitols)
Tarantula (Album Version) 3:49 (no Japanese text)WB logo on the right of the hole (instead of the left)

http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=1032
i have wanted this poster since i saw Arthur’s though- so yay![/quote:3bjzkdps]
Yay Blue! Awesome grab.

it was only $50 bucks actually. once its properly conserved, which i think a poster like that deserves it will probably have cost $100 or so, but that’s ok. i love that poster! and given its rarity i think it deserves the care.
[/quote:u6t5hi09]
That is one of the best deals ever, that I heard of recently. That poster has a potential value of hundreds of dollars (I wouldn’t even consider selling my copy for 500 US$, for example), and it’s only the third one I have seen so far. But besides rarity and price, it’s the most beautiful Smashing Pumpkins poster I know. blueczarina, you can be VERY proud of yourself, if you ask me. Rare gem, very good price and a lifetime enjoyment. -
whoa
i was thinking it was worth like $100 well its been shipped so i should have that beauty soon.
and once i have it properly conserved i will frame it and keep in a place of honor for sure. and it is one of the most beautiful posters i’ve seen for the SP. when i saw yours i was like holy crap! i love that poster! i’m proud to have it i must say.

today was a good ebay day for me. i won a 7” black starchildren delusions of candor vinyl, a 7” perfect jukebox vinyl, and a 12” siamese dream in pink. we’ll see just how pink it is when it shows up, but it looked pretty pink in the picture in the auction. and i finally heard back from a seller who hadn’t shipped out one of my siva 12” in over a month! he’s gonna refund me and still send it out! free siva 12”!!

It’s a wonderwall.[/quote:jzsex4uq]
and awesome posters
i just had an awesome and surprising find especially given where i’m from (not exactly the center of pumpkinfandom). i went into Hastings to look for a CD, but some ass was standing where i wanted to look and i think looking for the same thing. so being an SPfreak i decided to go look at the SP CDs even though i have them just to bask in there pumpkiness until the guy left and as i looked what should i find but this…
http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=160
i was shocked to find it and of course bought it for $6. someone must have sold it to the store used.
it totally made my day. -

-

it reminds me of Radiohead bear[/quote:jukxjtbq]
Thanks all on the Zwan poster. I really like it too. It also reminds me of the Radiohead poster.
Weird thing about posters, I only collect them if I like the poster. There are MANY that feature Billy’s Head and shit and I personally find them utterly repulsive. I think Billy’s a good looking guy and all, but his head on a poster? It’s just so…bleh.

i agree about the poster thing too. i need to like the art. and on the Billy’s head subject- i don’t have any of those weird Billy head posters either. some of those posters look kind of strange, especially the artist renderings.
i will admit i have been thinking of getting a TFE poster though, but i like the picture and i like a good Billy pic.
i like posters with the band on them though if its a neat pic. -
I must admit the posters are looking awesome!!!
For my collection I never cared nor do care for posters as I don’t intend to hang to or anything as my home is full of stuff already—-
But damn!
Collecting thát way I duh missed out on the totally awesome, wicked, rare and utterly for one-show only AVA-poster and that one is totally something I would have loved to get my hands on!!!!
Just like the one true show poster I DID buy from 1991 or something (would have to check) which was like a total low-key affair poster and thus for me brilliantly exemplified the then-current status of TSP….Congrats on ALL the posters therefore!
But especially the AVA one!!!!!!!!! Great find and buy! -

Yesterday the Kiss radio 3cd set with Smashing Pumpkins song + interview on it arrived, same for The Cornerstone Player 008 promo 3cd set with Jackie Blue. On top of that, an \"If All Goes Wrong\" screening poster I traded on the boards here, arrived from San Diego, USA.
The sender wrote my address on the tube, and draw this SP heart logo

It was the infamous Eiffel who won it.
[/quote:3fg3ecv9]
Who is this "infamous Eiffel" guy? Did I miss something? [/quote:3fg3ecv9]he is the guy who literally bought almost all of the GLOW promos for insane amounts of money when the first surfaced on ebay. and he bid early on them and drove up the prices- or so it seemed- which made no sense.

I know, I’m a freak. Or at least a freaky completist Smashing Pumpkins CD collector. I just ordered all the 20th Anniversary Tour shows on grey discs (14 in total), since Brad Serling of NUGS.NET told me they are still available, by special order via the man himself.
Now, start calling me names…

Just one question.I know the watermarked Zeitgeist is worth 100´s of dollars ( last one on ebay went for 250 dollars, not sealed), but the TheFutureEmbrace watermarked , what is that one worth? A sealed copy is probo worth alot right ? Just wondering if its as rare as the Zeitgeist.

– TEITBITE remixes 3-track acetate (with the Nu-Wave Batcave remix, $20) <— cheap!!! Good finds Bram!
[/quote:382nhppm]
Yeah. I already have a copy of this, but I didn’t see anyone else bid on this, so I placed a $10 or $15 bid (can’t remember) and I won it for $10.
Same thing happened with the sealed TAFH box. I already have 3 sealed boxes, but I tried again with a low bid and I won it for £46. I could swear I’ve seen used boxes go for more than that. -

-Mellon Collie
-Adore (not on SPfreaks.com yet)
-Machina
-Greatest Hits
-Zeitgeist (first pressing & second pressing with different booklet/release code) (1 of them not on SPfreaks.com yet)
-Greatest Hits dvd (not on SPfreaks.com yet)But why do all Russians go by the name \"Igor\"?
If you want, I can give you his email address, just PM me!
And mayonaise: congrats! Not really a bargain, but it’s a rarity indeed, and a true gem!

Very nice stuff Arthur.Looking forward to see some scans of Adore and Zeitgeist cd.

i was also going for a \"secret gig\" boot, but didnt win. kinda glad, that would be alot of money to spend on boots
-
-
-

yeah there was definately some irresponsible spending there. i was hoping they wouldnt go for so much since they were ending at like 4 in the morning my time, but i guess there was more interest than i thought. i had never seen exit mellon collie come up before and ive recently fallen in love with that show, so i had to have it.
-
i like bootlegs myself. some are really cool looking. plus i like having the audio all nice and packaged on a cool CD.[/quote:11c46hs2]
for me the audio has to be high quality or the artwork has to be something i really like.i want this one [url:11c46hs2]http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?page=COLLDETAILS&item=2746[/url:11c46hs2] and this one [url:11c46hs2]http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?page=COLLDETAILS&item=1317[/url:11c46hs2] really bad! ide even trade for them
-
i will say i got Tivoli considerably cheaper off of ebay. i try not to pay so much for boots, but if you will love them and the audio means something to you…
and will also admit i did bid irresponsibly to get Billy’s Home Demo’s, MCIS Demos, and i think a few others
i can’t help it. i’m a pumpkin addict and i’m taken in by pretty packaging.

I won a sealed promo TAFH box on eBay yesterday.
I think I have enough TAFH boxes now.
[/quote:2t2eu5w3]Kickass Ice, im still looking for that one, how much did you pay for it ?
[/quote:2t2eu5w3]
about $110 i think. can’t check it right now, ’cause they blocked most of ebay here at work. and my email too. -

My extra 14 sets of 20th Anniversary shows arrived, but it turned out to be the colored discs.
But I have to say, NUGS.NET just came back to me with a really nice solution (and tons of excuses too!): I can keep the discs they just send me, and they will send me the grey discs without the package again. So I will end up with a double set of cds of the first 14 shows, which I can use in the car or something!

I know this topic is only meant for Smashing Pumpkins, but im happy i just bought this set here.

oops. didnt realize the white starchildren was already up[/quote:nyf75ltz]
Brandon
I’m trying to upload the pics of the Korean Singles LP you sent in, but I need the matrix codes from the run off groove (usually etched by machine or hand in the center of the record) for side 1 and 2.Thanks!
PS-We are completests here at SPfreaks.

congrats honeymade. if im not mistaken you won it for $37 great price!
and manilla,
i’ll email them over to spfreaks this afternoon
and did you get the jpeg versions i sent over yesterday?[/quote:2ykljrs7]Thanks!
This is actually my first time on eBay! I had some problems with the PayPal-thing too, as I’ve changed the adress and such since I registered nearly two years ago (but haven’t ever used the account since then..)
But I got somewhat suspicious that it didn’t go for more money!
And yeah, $37 was really nice.Do you know how much they are used to be sold for? $37 sounds pretty cheap?
-
To be honest, I fear the box will be a little bit too small for the 14 extra shows. But I might be wrong. I hope it will fit perfectly.[/quote:3nc4dwc5]
Judge yourself, but I know my opinion alright. Here are 14 shows (grey cds) & 24 shows (colored cds) together in "the box". [/quote:3nc4dwc5]damn that’s a big ass box

Thats one fat ass boxset, very nice Arthur.
And congrats on the Siva vinyl Honeynmade, i was almost sure Brandon would get it.Him and his Siva fetish
[/quote:165r9b1o]i missed it. i was all set to bid and then work got in the way. (stupid people walking in)
and honeymade, i’ve seen them go in the low $30 to $90. so, good price.
i just picked these two up

Thats some sweet items and decent price for the Machina 2cd set.
[/quote:2dix0ow0]i wasn’t sure about the price. seemed fair. the seller has 4 negative ratings in the past month, and they are all about not recieving the item. i’ve asked the seller to confirm for me they actually have the cd before i pay for it.

We always wondered if those DK promos were fakes or genuine, The rose March and this one.They are genuine enough.My souces got this straight from Warner Music Denmark, also there is a Tarantula promo.He promised me to check out the Tarantula promo for me since he had that one as well.

That’s quite cool, Mayo!
On that cd there is a Disarm/Soothe sticker?
-
-
That is an interesting item… On the front and the back is a dead give away that this was not released in 1991 like we have it listed. First, it is the HUTCDx 2 release which did not come till 1994. Second, the Disarm sticker, that would also place the CD from 1994. Maybe we should change it on the page.

just to put the word out there-
I AM TOTALLY LOOKING FOR a BLACK vinyl UK press of Pisces Iscariot LP….
i’ve got the LP+7\" and the USA LP but both sound like total shit…
it’s gotta do with the translucent vinyl not being able to reproduce the same freq-response as massive vinyl….for my turntable pleasure I’d LOVE a UK press on black vinyl…
still- somehow this press seems totally rare or something….if you see one somewhere or whatever; lemme know!!!!!! via PM or something or my @smashingpumpkins.com address!!!! thnx….
also for those in Belgium-
the other weekend I was in Brussels…
just next to/off the Great Market/Grote Markt, there’s quite a messy record store with an awesome collection…. I spent a lot of money there!!!!
he also had the SIYL 12\" promo there!
i already have it and ran out of cash-
but it might be worth checking out- loads of singles and promos of other bands too- so some TSP might come in there too or something…
just a tip/hint! -
i agree on the PI gold vinyl not being amazing but having clear vinyl doesn’t necessarily mean bad sound quality. The black colour is from a dye i believe, clear vinyl is the same but not dyed. also, having clear vinyl generally means it isn’t recycled bits of old vinyl redyed as sometimes happens with black records, but fresh stock.

basically you ARE right-
however: i’ve got numerous clear/translucent vinyls.
all seem to lack punch and depth.
it COULD be poor mastering all along the way and across the board of course…
still: I feel picture discs (basically transparant vinyls) and translucent/transparant vinyls DO NOT sound as good as solid coloured vinyls, of any colour that is; be it black or whatever…
But that could be a matter of taste or something…. -
yeah, the black vinyl is harder to find than the yellow one.
but it appears on ebay quite often. if you keep your eyes open, and be patient, you should be able to find a good copy for a reasonable price.also for those in Belgium-

where exactly is this record store located? do you remember the name, or the street? is it big? does it have just music, or is it also selling other stuff?
the thing is, there are so many record stores in the neighbourhood of the grote markt. and i’ve visited quite a lot, but most were crap. the only one that looked a bit decent was a tiny one, next to the artist entrance of the ancienne belgique. (apparently billy spent 1000 euros there the day before their show there in 2007.) -

I’ve found them for little money on the German E-Bay. And yes, the ‘Hot Saki’ is very good. I didn’t know them before. Nice pop-songs for a sunny spring day @Arthur: Congrats.

Just bought 2 promos.I have no idea what they are worth, so let me know if i overpaid or not.

Yeah price is not too bad, they are indeed very rare (now). I bought them a little cheaper back then though, but over time they have become more expensive, makes sense…
Couldn’t help grabbing that Tonight, Tonight BBC Radio 1 Playlist Edit disc, as it is rare as fuck. Second time I see it for sale. A must have from my top 5 Smashing Pumpkins rarities! Thanks for giving the direction, mayonaise!

Muzzle is a regular on eBay, i think i see one, once a month or something like that.[/quote:3vd5l1ie]

THe last one that hit eBay, how much did it go for. 200-300 dollars, can you remember that ?[/quote:3sekwycc]
Yeah, way over 200 if I’m right. It has never been different, it was always very expensive. After all, it is their first CD single.[/quote:3sekwycc]errr—
i totally agree with Arthur here-
but, err—
what happend to the way I used to deal way back when????
sure-
i could wait for an auction and pay top dollar and stuff—or-
i coukd go out and try to find the stuff-how?
meet other people online, check with them, their offline outlets and stores-
do the same in your country, swap stuff, get this for this person; he will try to see what he or she can find for you-i was in Brussels, Belgium two weeks ago-
i did mention it here-
dead center there’s a record store that was then selling the SIYL 12" promo-stuff like that-
that how I got my SIYL 12"-
how I got my other gems-even more so-
way way way way more effort went into my getting the demo tapes and stuff-still-
from the uk and befriending peeps online-
i got some items-
as via the USA-
as they did from me-
as Holland got some special stuff too which was readily available here in store(s)-now-
We stll don’t know the numbers for the Siva CS of the Siva CD, both AUS, but-
Australia is kinda like HUGE!!!!
So – common knowledge says-
It’s not gonna be like 100-1000 only….
So-
There are bound to be copies somewhere!now-
Get to work if you want one!!!!how?
ha!this anecdote from my collector’s history might be kinda "cool" and/or may serve as a testament-
one time-
as a collector-
i had all i needed and wanted-
per my idea of collecting-
just not the demo tapes-per my research i found a guy with a copy of the TSP demo tape-
the first one that is-
as per then I had a one on one dub on cd of the TSP tape to listen to-
he however told me this tape was dubbed over per accident by his little sister-
so-
this tape had Michael Jackson on one side / TSP on the other-
still-
I bought it, for a genuine ok price-
a few weeks later, through the same guy and some mails and calls-
I found a guy with an original tape-
(turned out to have been signed way back when too!!!)
The "Jackson" tape I sold on, without taping over Jackson (nobody would have noticed on my decks)
The signed tape is a priced gem now in my collection-What I am trying to say is-
Both guys were from Chicago, close to TSP? NOPE!
These guys were close to music in THOSE days!
As such and thru bands from then I found them-
And found these tapes.So-
Don’t wait for eBay-
Think for yourself and how it works-
And get a move-on!It works!
Still!So-
Do your best and there will be even more stuff popping up….
I mean-
Who would have thought I’d have a very old demo from a somewhat obscure band we all don’t know about somewhat between The Marked and TSP on my PC (one track only) – which only came about my deep deep deep deep deep research into those areas??I mean-
Why should or WOULD a guy from The Netherlands OWN a tape, THE TAPE (for as much as we know as per still now, untill Frank Q tells me he has the master in the Archive – BC told me he didn’t, that’s why I gave him a dub on CDR from the tape) featuring the VERY FIRST EVER TSP RECORDNG (as per BCs own admission and recognition and more and that’s why he told me immediately then and there, as via taking me apart a little: I don’t have this; Sven: this IS the very first song we EVER did…) ….I mean-
This is NOT meant to compliment myself-
As it’s been an accomplishment of chance, vision, effort et al…But-
This IS to say-If I can to THAT-
Surely in getting to know peeps down under-
You can unearth a Siva CDS or CS!!!!!How?-
OK- one hint then-
I didn’t exactly peruse of use the TSP-communtiy-
Why would I?
Looking for the demo tapes?!
These where like sold at shows with like Jane’s Addiction and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult-
So-
That’s how-
Move beyond and get beyond your expectationsThat’s all –
Good luck!!!!
-
This is sooooo true.
A lot of my rarities didn’t come from eBay. But from record fairs, and making online \"business friends\" with owners of online shops, travelling people with some music interest, and sometimes \"random\" people that I light with the Pumpkins fire. It builds you a network of friends, and every now and then something will pop out. That’s how I got my La Saga + order form for a good price, for example. And there are many more examples!

Sven.
Im doing the best i can, what i mean is to get new souces and contacts, i got a few contact all ready.
I got a guy in Taiwan, not only that, ive established a good contact person whos in contact with Warner Music Denmark, who found me a very rare Thats the way promo and sealed watermarked Zeitgeist, also i will get the Tarantula promo soon as well, also im negotiating with a guy in France as well to find some rareties for me, and believe me when i say this, ive asked my contacts about the SIVA singel, yet non has it, that cd is on my top 3 list, but i would not swap anything from my collection to get that item, i only pay cash.
Remember ive only been collecting for 1 year only, and check my collection and let me know if i haven´t done a decent job to get that collection i have now. -

Your new SP treasure wasn’t bad either Arthur, although I know very little about these ultra-rare cds! [/quote:ms82zgmy]
Let’s be honest, my heart jumps to my throat when I find such things, as they are almost 1-of-a-kind items, just a few of them are known to exist. And only when I saw that the artwork and the writing on the CD was exactly the same as the one shown on SPfreaks.com, I dared to buy it. Also, the extra sticker on the jewelcase just made my day… I know, I’m a freak… As I bought it:

A little Pumpkins related, and because I’m a Pearl Jam early 1990’s fan, and because it was only 12 Euro:
[/quote:12mmmoaq]Tadaaah….
Like you might wanna check some Pearl Jam fans…
Or some Peppers fans-
Or even a QOTSA fan who might have picked up the promo from the Arising! tour…Get familiar with the stuff from way back when-
Have patience-
Do you thing-
It will come back to you-
In due time-
I guess… -

Just got IAGW Promo DVD and a EU 5 song sampler CDR/Honestly CDR… all for under $15.
[/quote:ev57mm8p]I saw that auction for the DVD set and was hesitant to bid, since the seller him/herself wasn’t sure if these were true promos. There is no press sheet or anything and the DVDs are the same ones in the commercial release, just in a paper sleeve. So for all we know, the DVD box could have been damaged and this is what the seller had left…..but a good price regardless.
I like the Zwan 5 track promo.
I wish I could find one of the Zeitgeist 5 track watermarked listening party CDs…….
-
-
oh yeah, one of those listening party promos would be super cool.
but i think it’s basically impossible.
these promos were never sent out. someone from warner arrived at the listening party with one promo, protected the cd with their life, and took the promo back safely. and who knows what happened then. maybe all 5-track promos have been collected and destroyed? doesn’t seem impossible to me: only some of their own people ever held these cds in their hands. must not be too hard to get all the cds back, to avoid early leaks.
if that didn’t happen, people won’t want to sell their copy as long as they’re working for warner bros. obviously. -

I bought IAGW off a website that sells mostly promos. I have been buying promos from them for years, so I figure it would be a promo since I also saw the auction for the DVDs. I believe Authur picked one of them up off ebay. Anyways for $7 you can’t go wrong (no pun intended).

Here in Holland – as far as I know – there was NO (press) listening party…
I.e. there WAS – but press was afterwards given the watermarked FULL promo…
Not there and then, but still….However- through the label rep. here I learned, these promos were to be sent back to Warner US to be destroyed/kept/whatever…
Chances might be slim to find one- however: NEVER DESPAIR… stranger stuff has popped up!
However- back in the Virgin days Virgin Recs might not have had too tight a policy and now with all the leaking going on stuff might have gotten a lot tighter…
Still- it’s not beyond imagination to find one, just dig deep into Warner and see what you can come up with…
I just can’t be half-arsed anymore, but that’s the way I found some gems… so give it not one, but NUMEROUS tries, even through some years (maybe even- EVEN through the years!!!) and see what happens!! -

fluke remixes JP promo CD
some fucked up SD US promo CS[/quote:2mln9zhp]Please upload some full pictures of the cassette when you can, I’d be curious to see the rest of it, since the seller only showed the front.
As for me, I’ve been on a buying binge of late. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I will tease one item that is being shipped to me currently. It is rare, it isn’t on this site, and it is the 3rd "version" out there and I wasn’t aware of it, until I was sent a picture of it and yelled "holy shit!" at my monitor.

It is rare, it isn’t on this site, and it is the 3rd "version" out there and I wasn’t aware of it, until I was sent a picture of it and yelled "holy shit!" at my monitor.

The suspense… the suspense… (*me, walking to my desk… opening the drawer… taking that Colt Defender .45 gun… pointing it at my head… pulling the trigger… not shooting though… putting the Colt back on its’ place…*)
… is almost killing…
Good job Shawn, I’m very curious what it is!! Could it be En Concierto En Mexico? If so,…

Please upload some full pictures of the cassette when you can, I’d be curious to see the rest of it, since the seller only showed the front.

i’m also very curious.and my first though was also "en concierto en mexico", but in that case i’d be less excited. i think it’s very suspicious that there are two versions already. and although i’m not 100% sure, i think the numbered one is a fake.

Numbered one?? I would wager that a numbered one would be fake, to be honest. It isn’t ECIM, as I’ve already owned that previously. This is something I’ve never owned before and again, we know of 2 different versions, and the one I will be receiving will make it the 3rd version out there.

there are two different versions on spfreaks.com. the numbered one looks suspicious. it also has logos from virgin and hut on the back. very strange.apparently there is a reason to believe it’s real anyway, because it’s listed under the official cd releases instead of the bootlegs. if someone knows what that reason is, please let me know.
if the only reason is what is in the extra information ("As the glossy artwork is exactly the same as the other type, we presume it’s genuine.") then i think we should retract that reason, because the artwork isn’t exactly the same. the front seems to be a copy, so it indeed looks the same (but the colours are worse), but the back is not the same. both versions show a part of the adore cover (zoomed in), but they don’t show the same part.
and then there’s of course the fact that out of nowhere, there’s a hut and virgin logo, and the fact that it’s numbered. makes no sense to me.version 1: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … LS&item=78
version 2 (the suspicious one): http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=991 -

Cassette came in today. It’s awesome, completely genuine, in case anyone had doubts (I admit, I wasn’t 100% sure), but now I am!
I’ll upload to the site tonight.
Also got two AR promos (already on the site), and 3 Alice in Chains albums and Mad Season for good measure.
I can easily see myself collecting AIC soon. Wonder if the depth is as deep as Smashing Pumpkins discography.

[/quote:14dwz77p]That’s an interesting theory though. Maybe it was made in the USA, but released in ZA? Maybe this is why we don’t see many of these. It looks like a pretty standard 2trk promo cassette, for any album ever. Meaning, I see this being pressed in high numbers, for promotional purposes, why the hell aren’t there more of these?
There are a fair amount of the 5 trk promo CDs for Siamese Dream, for example.

I just discovered there’s a The Marked video tape coming to me… From Ronald E. Roesing.
As the chance was there, I’d luckily asked for it to be autographed and was told that it would be.
Pictures, etc., in future for the site sometime, if all goes well.
-
-
-
-
-
that’s from roesing? i thought someone made it from an online download.
jebus.
how expensive was it?[/quote:2hpdbj54]
I’m assuming you mean the one that was on eBay, it went for £6-odd UK.
This upcoming one might be it (?), I didn’t ask as it’s via a friend as a present/gift.[/quote:2hpdbj54]
yes, i was talking about the cassette that was on ebay recently. the description was very short and just mentioned that there were two songs on the video, and that it was old school or something.is that the one your friend got for you, or don’t you know?
-
i recently got a chinese siamese dream cd. the regular jewel case comes in a cardboard slipcase. i’m convinced it’s a bootleg. there’s an ifpi code on the silver side of the cd, but i think they just faked that one as well.
i was curious how it would look like and it was quite cheap on ebay, so i thought, oh well, why not?
-
^ Sounds like an interesting disc.
I’m hoping to start collecting again in June/July, just small items mostly, I can’t compete with the decent rarities and such.
I’ll apologise about the video tape, as it sounds like that might be it – I’d not have bid against a fellow Freakie myself.
Hopefully not, the timing sounds about right though, so… -
were there any other bidders? if it went for only £6, competition can’t have been too high.
and i still don’t understand it. i’m confused. what exactly is coming your way now? the ebay vhs? or a signed vhs from ron roesing, via a friend? or did a friend buy it on ebay? or are you getting two video cassettes? the ebay one, and a signed one from ron roesing, via a friend?

he doesn’t mean the pre-gish tape, but a (1997?) promo tape for the song eye, off the lost highway soundtrack.ps: collectspumpkins, where’s your website? i can’t find it with google anymore.

Ah yes, we have that one on SPfreaks also (with the same pics, at that time gathered by fellow founder of this website, Thom).
I was a little surprised to read about the Eye Promo tape, as Davin said it does exist (the pre-Gish tape that is)! He told us that a while back when we met him in Amsterdam. He thought he had a pic of it still, but I never heard from him since… Davin? Reading this maybe?

Funny, all 3 types of this release have different tracklengths for that Perfect remix.The shortest edit is already on SPfreaks (my "autographed" (siggie looks very real though!) US copy
): -
yeah, i think the 1cd and the 2cd version are \"mixed\" together into one long continuous track, resulting in different track lengths for the different songs. the 3cd version has the full songs, not mixed together.
i noticed you can buy every version for about £15 each on http://www.cdwow.com (and they have free worldwide shipping).
they also have a http://www.cdwow.nl, but most of the time it’s way cheaper to buy it in pounds instead of euros, so i go to the uk website at http://www.cdwow.com. -

i think they’re cool.[/quote:2mdjq2kv]I think this is awesome and very rare stuff, some pumpkins. Some people here will definately be interested in a flac rip of these tapes. As far as I know, these are Virgin inhouse tapes of, in order of appearance, the rough mixes of Mellon Collie, the 1989 Moon cassette ( http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=506 ), and the 1993/06/29 Studio 105 Paris acoustic set ( http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &locid=317 ). It might be worth quite a few bucks I guess, but I’m not a cassette collector, so I don’t know. Nice stuff anyway!

@some pumpkins: Looks like some cool items. Congrats. And yeah, flac rips of the tapes would be appreciated.

I don’t think you overpaid. These are (most likely) really amazing items.
The description of the seller is a bit weird though. I can’t really judge if the Moon tape contains anything that isn’t out there yet, for example. And it’s also hard to judge if any of the other tapes contain unheard stuff from those descriptions.The acoustic live show looks a lot like the Black Session indeed, but is the tracklist accurate? I didn’t think Crush was played, for example. And is this a recording without a dj talking over some parts? If so, that would be something we haven’t heard yet.
Also, the MCIS tape, does everything sound like on the album, but with the vocals turned up, or is it an alternate version, with early takes of some vocals, and maybe even an extra solo, a bit like Sequence IV, from May ’95?

Probably nothing much but here goes:
As I came to think of, recently you know I bought the 1994 remastered version of the Gish lp.
Searching in SPfreaks Collection I only found the one without the \"Remastered\" sticker on the front, and it said that it’s only noticable by the different codes and the word \"Remastered\" top left on the back of the sleeve.
Now, mine has got the sticker on the front and looks like this:

I’m collecting those as well, mainly the UK ones in cardboard sleeves. Last week I got the Tonight Tonight (blue) promo one with the promo sticker on it for only £0.99.
I just won this by the way:

What do you guys and guysesses think about the price on this one? Pretty OK?
I checked it on http://www.popsike.com and to me it seems to be a quite fair deal.
Oh yeah, and Blueczarina, check this out if you haven’t before:

Had that one in my "Watchlist" also.

i have 54 items on the watchlist right now. most of em have ended and most of em im not gonna bid on, but its nice to have a selection to choose from, when im able to spend the money. and its nice to see how much certain stuff goes for. so when it comes back around you can see if its worth it to bid, or wait it out for the next one.

Nailed this one.Only 1 were ever made, so i can brag about having a cd you guys dont have.

however:
your copy bears the infamous "APPEARING’ sticker on the front—-
as such this very copy at least was issued as a PROMOTIONAL copy… hence the sticker…

let’s say-
– for a vinyl TH normally kinda makes like 1 to 5 copies to check for label, management and artist; this seems kinda like OK, doesn’t it- I mean: this is kinda the VERY least you’d make for a major release before production starts full scale—
– for a cd TH normally kinda follows the same path as these too have to be checked—-now-
that’s just for the TRUE ‘check’ copies of the ‘master’-
now-
what’s this then?
a- a ‘master’ copy which was promotionally used?
b- a promotional cd made by TH as it had to be done quickly and such and thus they made a couple of copies to be distributed to the press or radio or something?at the very least I would suspect this one at least is not a one-off—
i might be wrong, but these were just my two cents—-
cheers,

anyone can put down the ‘1 of 1’ right?
i mean if that’s the case… why write it down in the first place? and why then promotionally use this?

it DOES look cool and still it’s a VERY cool item!!! -

well, it does say "for marc goodier". isn’t he some radio guy?
this cd doesn’t say it’s the master, does it?
wouldn’t it be ok to conclude that this is a (unique) promo cd? maybe issued by the town house, because this marc goodier guy was supposed to get it earlier than anyone else? -

True, that is a little expensive. Still it’s a really nice rarity, as it contains many unreleased songs. And all the b-sides on it make it a true gem also. But it’s the unreleased live tracks that makes it an awesome collectible for me. Funny anecdote: my max bid was 51 dollar, and the other bidder stopped at US$ 49,01… If he had put a few dollars more on it, I would have missed it! But luckily I didn’t!
I put a little research in it, and Cherub Rock & If You Want My Love (Chicago 1995/10/23) and all 3 San Diego tracks (1979, Today & Tonight, Tonight) have never been released officially or promotionally so far. I couldn’t find that exact date for San Diego though, for the moment I presume it’s the Soma venue in San Diego, where Smashing Pumpkins played those 3 songs on 1996, January 31. But I might be wrong.
I had never heard of Jeff McClusky & Associates so far, but they do exist. They are even based in Chicago! I have send them an email asking for more info about this and possible other Smashing Pumpkins releases. Keep you posted!

[/quote:1q81xjw1]
Aha, smart move, Arthur.I also saw this on eBay, and was interested, even though it looks a bit dodgy. Who calls his own compilation "unofficial"??? I looked up McClusky and found out this company exists indeed, but of course that doesn’t prove anything. I’m interested in what they might answer.
I don’t think the live tracks will be anything special. I think they’ll be from recordings that are already out there, and maybe even sourced from bootlegs. I might be wrong of course. In that case this is indeed a very interesting compilation.
The confusion about the San Diego date is probably similar to the confusion on the bootleg "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Ga Ga Goo Goo" ([url:1q81xjw1]http://www.spfc.org/songs-releases/boot.html?boot_id=147[/url:1q81xjw1] – http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=1342). The first songs are listed as 2-7 San Diego, but are from 1-31 San Diego. (There is no 2-7 San Diego. And on 2-7, they didn’t play Rhinoceros.)
If you can make mp3s of the "San Diego" tracks once you received the cd, I wouldn’t mind comparing them to some bootlegs to see what show they are from.Anyway, I forgot to bid. Ha. (And I also forgot to bid on a sealed GLOW promo, and it went for $70.
) -

I’m hoping the live songs are sourced from the band directly, so maybe they have a different or even improved quality. And yeah, good point about that date thingy. Wouldn’t surprise me indeed, if they (McClusky) sourced them from the bootlegs out there… We’ll see. First of all I’m hoping (expecting actually) this cd to be genuine. -
I just picked this one up on eBay for 50.01 bucks, but there’s another one for Buy It Now US$ 199.99.
[/quote:1zq7elo1]This item is curious. I too, saw the Ebay auction and did look up the McClusky’s website. However, there were a few things that really cautioned me from bidding:
a) The picture of the CD. Ok, as the story states, this is one of the largest music promotion companies in the US and that is the best they can do for a CD? I sure as hell wouldn’t want them promoting my band with that type of shoddy production.
b) The tracklisting. So this was released in the late 90’s, but yet really only features tracks from the MCIS singles that came in the AFH boxset. So they couldn’t have released anything form the Gish/Siamese/Adore era’s?? That just doesn’t make sense.
c) The Cheap Trick track. Why would a promotion company, promote another band, instead of their main client? It’d be one thing if you wanted to include a COVER (e.g. Never Let me Down, Landslide, etc.), but to inlcude a "live" track with another band? That just doesn’t make sense at all.
d) The 1st appearance. As collector’s, we’ve pretty much seen everything. I find it odd that this is the first time that we’ve seen/heard of this CD. You’d think that at least a few copies would have been on sale prior to this. Plus, have we seen any other McClusky CDs on Ebay for some of the other artists they promote??
I really hope this CD is the real deal, but there were just too many red flags for me to bid.
-
also, why would ugly, believe and cherry be listed as \"german b-sides\"?
looks like the creator of this compilation didn’t really know what he was doing, and just grabbed whatever he could find. one of those things must be a european 1979 single that was imported from germany.
i also see some non-us tonight, tonight b-sides on the compilation, but here no origin is mentioned. seems random to me.i fear this only indicates that the band had very little to do with this compilation, and that the live tracks didn’t come from them either.
-
Hehe, I’m glad nobody on here bid on it, so I got it not-so-expensive. When it is genuine, I think the price is even very fair. I just took the risk, as I didn’t find any real flaws in the eBay story. Didn’t put a high max bid on it, and was lucky so far. Bad luck when McClusky tells me it’s fake, though… But, furthermore:
a) Maybe the biggest, but still only 7 or 8 people work in that McClusky company… And the Chrysalis promos are like this too. Kinda crappy, but genuine. Chrysalis is way bigger.
b) I think it was released in 1996 or 1997, when everybody was still focusing on the success of Mellon Collie and its singles. I guess the tracks came from the band or from Virgin, so what can they do?
c) Makes a lot of sense to me, actually. When this McClusky company was very much appreciated at that time by band or label, they would allow them to use 1 or some very special tracks.
d) Agreed, but only partially. I never checked on other McClusky cds, so I have no opinion on that. But every year we collectors find new items, even in the vinyl category (December 2008, the 1990 German vinyl test pressing of the 12 inch single for Tristessa, for example)!

Makes sense, yes. There was 1 thing however, that I found very peculiar in the seller’s story, to say the least, that was: "and usually SO RUINED by DJs playing songs off of them on the air" and on the other hand: "but tight formats didn’t allow the broadcasting of unfamiliar album tracks and b-sides, therefore the disc went right into the station’s library." -

i tend to agree with Shawn here-
and with Bram-upon recieving this cd-
please make a proper transfer of some of the live tracks-
i don’t have the time left-
but I am sure Bram will be able to match these recordings up with existing ones out there-if this TRUELY contains SBD or pre-FM or whatever HI-quality takes of these live-tracks this is one HELL of a CHEAPO gem!
if not > nothing lost!
then > i’d like to know more about this rather ‘obscure’ company active in some kind of ‘promotion’ with cds which – to be true and honest (i’ve done some radio-work and still sometimes assist here and there in the field) would like be ‘nice’ to hear when presented with the promotional cd, but would indeed kindalike NEVER make it to radio…
so > what’s the promotional perk there for The Smashing Pumpkins and the other bands mentioned?
plus > when you work for these hi-profile acts: wouldn’t WE kinda expect a more hi-profile status/tenure/site/presence/profile online for this company?as per now >
– you didn’t pay a lot of dough-
– if this is legit; you have a steal in your hands!-
– if it’s nothing special as per the live-tracks (or even worse: if these turn out to be mp3-sourced!)-
– let’s team up and put some effort into checking out this ‘company’-
– "maybe" i can be of "some" help in forwarding a question or two towards the band, just to make truely sure, but only after we’ve done our own ‘home work’ and ‘ground work’ in research, ok?damn!
this IS a curious ‘releases’!!!!
damn!
collecting The Smashing Pumpkins just never ceases to amaze me!!!so >

If there were some hits included on this McClusky thingy, I would agree. But there aren’t any hits. It’s Smashing Pumpkins b-sides and live tracks all over on this "promotional" cd. What’s the use of putting 100% songs on a promotional cd, that radio stations aren’t even allowed to play when they receive it? Anyway, I can live with this little discrepancy in his story. My guts feeling says it’s a genuine release anyway (this type of cd reminds me of your German Machina II promo cd, being a gift for business relatives of Virgin), but I would still laugh my ass off when this McClusky cd is a hoax/boot. It would be a boot welldone! Keep you posted of course, I just resend the email to 2 other McClusky email addresses… The other one seems dead…

Got the P*U*L*S*E dvd by Pink Floyd from my girlfriend for me birthday today!
Finally. I just love this gig from Earls Court back in 1994.
Now you might wonder what this has to do with the Pumpkins. Well, I just discovered that William P Corgan sings on Wish You Were Here (haven’t seen it before) so it’s kinda’ Pumpkin-related. Or is it? Not?
A bit I guess.
Love the dvd though! You guys should check it out.

That must be one of the coolest pics of a young Billy.[/quote:1jz9w4ev]
Yeah, I thought so too, that’s why I wanted that pic badly. The guy that sold it to me, also said it was 1 of the coolest pics he ever shot in his whole career. This shot was taken at 1 of the early Canadian concerts of Smashing Pumpkins, in 1991. Montreal, if I’m right (by head). It is numbered (not that I really care though, but it adds a little whipped cream to the pie… ), he send me # 2/3. -

I’m not sure I’m following you CAIC
he met her way back then? years before she became the bassist?
Did she know how to play bass? I’m lost now…
I read way too much stuff…wasn’t there some article posted about how he knew he wanted her to be the bassist?
I can’t remember with everything that has being going on in life lately
please someone fill me in again…. -
Yeah. Following the death of ex-Hole basist Kristen Pfaff in April 1994, Corgan told Coutney Love that he knew a bad-ass bass player to fit the band. Auf Der Maur that is. So since like 94-95 she played with them. Also Corgan has known Matt Sweeney (ex-Zwan for instance) since back in ’89 or something I think, when he played in that band Skunk. One of Corgan’s favourite bands, supposedly.

gosh, i’m too lazy too start looking for the source. but what i remember is, approximately, that sp played montreal and melissa was in the audience. a friend of melissa was really drunk and acting badly and billy reacted to him (not sure if he attacked him). afterwards melissa came up to billy and apologized for her drunken friend.
dunno. that’s when they first met. i doubt that’s how they really got to know each other though. aka, melissa definitely remembers, billy probably too, but a bit less…now if someone else remembers hearing this story too, and would be kind enough to dig up the source, that would be great. otherwise i’ll start doubting my sanity. thank you very much.

Hi Arthur,

No, nothing. Yesterday I send my third email to them, now to 3 new persons…[/quote:oc05ac69]
Hope we get some information about the release & the connection to the Smashing Pumpkins. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.And two new (old) posters arrived:

Here is a CD I got from Thailand: It looks to be a promo that is not yet on the site.[/quote:320l28ya]
I have downloaded them, and will try to look into this soon, ok?@Ayoe: nice buy!
That rather rare item comes in a gold version: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=749
And in a silver version too.
http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=928
I think the silver version is more rare, but I might be wrong.

You told me the gold version was rare then the silver version some months back.
I dont blame you for not remember, oldie.[/quote:3b44frgq]
I think the purple one is the rarest. No seriously, but I might have said that actually. And changed my mind now, since I see that gold set appear multiple times on the market. And I have not seen the silver discs yet, except for my copy… But there must be more of those silver disced sets also I’m sure. I’m not sure what the collectors here think about this Intimate & Interactive set and it’s rarity?

i don’t collect radio promos, so i don’t know about that CD.
i picked up some CDs recently:
tonight tonight JP promo

Dunno anybody who sells BR stuff, sorry. -

I don’t buy much these days since I’m on a budget, but every now and then I receive a nice present. This one is quite something, I received it a week ago from some of my best friends here. Beyond awesome, this one!
It is the very rare BBC Transcription In Concert 651 cd, with the (almost complete) Reading UK August 1995 concert. I think "very rare" is an understatement, I have seen this one twice only in my whole collecting career of almost 15 years. And I also own the other BBC disc of 1993, so…
This is an extraordinary concert by the way, where Smashing Pumpkins played some material from Mellon Collie already. It was the second time they played Porcelina live, for example! And as you can see also, the Smashing Pumpkins hardly played live in 1995… http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=TOURHISTORY&year=1995 All in all, a very special disc.
I will try to scan it today and upload the pics on our site.[/quote:367j87lj]
well Arthur-
amazing addition to your collection for sure!!!
sympathising with your current situation as i totally am!- this is one heck of a true gem to add!!!!
i’d love to hear a straight rip!!!
i must have one somewhere i guess, but these are always TOP-NOTCH recordings!!!!!!
awesome disc for sure!

i don’t know the specific pressing numbers of course…
but:
normally these discs were rather limited in numbers…as far as i’ve been able to find out and it makes total sense-
it all depended on the stature in populairty of the band-
big bands – more radio stations interested or willing to do a special – hence: higher numbers made-
small band – only the really important stations (might even have been smaller or college radio ones only!) – hence: smaller numbers made-tihs one is for TSP in 98-
quite a HUGE band back then!-
ok- ADORE didn’t DO very well-
*which might have meant: PROMO NEEDED!!!!! though*
but still-
no 1000s of copies-
but no 10s too, i’d say-
somewhere around 100 or something? -

Nice finds my collecting friends.

it’s a little booklet (12 pages) with some pictures (matches the tfe album-artwork) and a text about (recording) \"The Future Embrace\" and music & faith. here is the beginning:
i begann recording this album in the beginning of 2004
working in the cold confines of what was once
the smashing pumpkins rehearsal space
(around 7000 square feet of
ghosts, memories, failures and triumphs)
… friends ask me at the time, wisely so,
why i just didn’t get out of this ‘old’ space, because
at times the shadows of my past felt oppressive
… but i knew and believe i was in the right place
… because even though my band broke up over 4 years ago
i still consider myself a member of The Smashing Pumpkins
(…)

how expensive was it?to be honest, i wouldn’t dare to pay a lot for this. the fact that there are two versions of this seems very suspicious to me.

any chance you can send me some flacs from this cd? i wonder how they compare to the factory pressed cd.

it was a coincidence. i can’t remember what it was exactly, but i was searching some small pumpkins related bit of info on google, and i ended up on a website with smashing pumpkins \"easter eggs\". this was one of them. so i started looking for \"blood bitters\" on google and ended up finding this one, and for sale, even.
if i’m not mistaken, this is the site i stumbled upon. the creator speaks spanish, or something. http://smashingpumpkins.pbworks.com/it still hasn’t arrived though. i hope it will arrive soon.
the link to where i found it, with huge scans of the almanac: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?li … d=23752134here’s a blog post by someone who did some research about burdock blood bitters, because he found a small and old bottle. it’s an interesting read.
http://dumpdiggers.blogspot.com/2007/06 … tters.htmland thanks for posting about this again, ’cause it made me search a bit deeper, and i found this nice postcard on ebay. this postcard is probably where the artwork comes from (and not the almanac). according to the \"easter egg\" website, you can still read \"burdock blood bitters\" in the corner of paper that’s turned over, on the bwbw artwork, if you focus on the blue dots. (i’ve checked this, but i don’t see it…)

Picked up the German promo of Adore.
http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=234
Is it a fake or the real thing?
Arthur and i did make a check up on the studio who maybe manufactured this cd, Atlantis record does excist in Germany, still is this a fake or the real deal?? Discuss pls if needed, so we maybe can solve this one
This maybe be like those Danish promos (Rose March and Thats the way) we thought were fake, i think they are very real, since i got the Danish promo from a guy who used to work for WB Denmark, and he confirmed That the Danish promos were the real deal.

i know, i know. but it was really cheap. (actually, i offered an even lower amount, and the seller agreed. it was $24 buy-it-now or best offer, and i got it for $16.)
and i’ve never seen this sleeve before. so it seemed worth it.and you never know. maybe the vinyl isn’t absolute crap after all. then this would be absolutely worth it.
-

bought this for cheap from an ebay seller from the philippines. i don’t think the vinyl is in good condition, but the sleeve is cool. hadn’t seen it before.
[/quote:p5xzyw43]this is INDEED awesome. very cool.
however, i wonder, out of ALL the PH 7" for Today that have surfaced W/O a sleeve, if this seller just had a random sleeve hanging around for the 7".
not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but, it just seems more than ONE of these sleeves would have shown up with this release by now.
whatever.

yeah, i was wondering the same thing. oh well. -
It does look nice and I was interested in the item until I read the description:
You are bidding on PHILIPPINE PRESSED VINYL VG+
BUT CRACK
NICE COVER SLEEVES
I figured the "but Crack" is referring to the vinyl having a crack. Interested to know when you get it.[/quote:e55u28my]
yeah, i saw that too, and i had no idea what was meant.first i was considering contacting the seller about it, but then i decided just to put in a low offer. like, a "how much is this worth to me if the vinyl is completely ruined?" offer.
maybe the seller is only five years old and thinks that it’s hilarious to put the words "butt crack" in an auction?

Also, I’m curious about that red Germany CD as well. Maybe it’s just a reissue, who knows.

I finally received the CD today. And, it’s fucking red! The only difference I can find is the second IFPI # is different. Here are the codes on the CD:IFPI L012 IFPI 2M01
I can find info on L012 quite easily, but the 2M01 is throwing me off. Can anyone pinpoint this origin of manufacture and why this CD might be red and not black like all the rest?

Have you some pictures of the CD and the matrix code? Is the Mould IFPI "IFPI 2M01" pressed into the plastic near the inner ring?
[list:13f9ttve]
[*:13f9ttve] LBR IFPI (mastering IFPI): IFPI L012 = Warner, CD was mastered in Germany by Warner[/*:m:13f9ttve]
[*:13f9ttve] Mould IFPI: IFPI 2M01
I’ve done a quick Google-Search for "IFPI 2M" (last two digits identify only the specific mould which pressed the disc, so not relevant for the search).Search results points to Thailand:
MPO Asia Co.Ltd. / IFPI 2M**[/*:m:13f9ttve][/list:u:13f9ttve]
So the CD-Master was manufactured in Germany, and the CD was (perhaps) pressed in Thailand?
Hmmm, not sure about that.
EDIT:
ahh, pictures already uploded: http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=3178
Matrix-Codes looks like a German-Release, only the "IFPI 2M01 is little bit strange. Perhaps an error at the pressing plant? -

$160.. not too bad of a deal. The first one I got back in 2002 I paid around $350. They used to go for a lot more.[/quote:2qef71pu]
I can confirm that. I bought my copy of that same MCIS award for 300 US$ several years ago, which was considered a bargain already also. You are 1 hell of a lucky bastard (no insult meant! just stressing out how REALLY lucky you are! ) to get another copy for 160 bucks. Enjoy it!By the way, note that EIL has one for sale also: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalo … adtype=DAT
-
I have been collecting record awards for almost 10 years and I keep a perpetual eye on ebay for what’s available. Two MCIS awards have shown up nearly back to back. The auction that ended before mine went for about $25 cheaper . But yeah… $160 is $160, but it was too sweet to pass up. I’m still saving up my green for when the big garage sale happens on the official site. I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff they list.
-
Cool… I only have two, and that’s where it ends… not interested in purchasing more… The other one is the TAFH award, which is quite rare I guess… but it’s stunning, together with the MCIS award!

Yep! The TAFH-award is a TRUELY stunning piece!!! The 3-D effect really brings it all ‘to live’ so the speak! That one’s really amazing!
I’m still looking for the ‘fish eye’ Gish-award though. Beyond awesome? Yep! Never seen one up for auction nor sale though, unfortunately…
-
I have only seen a handful of Pumpkins awards on ebay in the past 8 years or so… MCIS (probably 2-4 per year), TAFH (only saw this once), Siamese Dream (A simple square wood frame award where the 12 inch promotional flat is used… I saw this twice), Machina (I saw this only once within the past couple of years… I think it was around $700-800 or so.. no way for that price).
The ones I see in Kerry’s studio are plucked right from my dreams.

i want arthurs TAFH award.[/quote:2lhprnsp]
That sounds like I should be vey scared from now on. You send a Killer Squad to pick it up, whatever I might say of that? Hehe. But yeah, it’s a cool item. I’m trying not to brag too much about my stufs, but that TAFH award is one of my top 10 items, that’s for sure.

I’m with you, let’s drool together. I could never afford it though. And I want to focus on the CDs, like test pressings and rare inhouse promos. So no more awards for me.

ooh, that’s a nice one.yesterday i bought another watermarked zeitgeist on ebay. it was no longer sealed, but it was only £16.67. can we say the price on this is dropping quite fast? lol.[/quote:3noh3wvh]
damn good price! i didn’t think you could get one of those for less than a hundred bucks.

-
definitely a cool poster. i added it to spfreaks, so you can log it into your collection too if you want.
plus, i was going after that myself. but i didn’t want to spend more than $25 on it. oh well, maybe one day.
there is another cool early gish era poster that recently went for sale that has me a little confused so i haven’t added it yet. i’ll make a thread about it soon.
-
i will make sure to add it.
and i thought i recognized one of the bidders, but i wasn’t sure. i think the guy listed another copy after he sold this one. its probably ended though. as for the price, i paid about $50 total including shipping. it was a little pricey, but i thought it was neat and i don’t get things too often so i decided to go for it.
and was the poster one of the others this guy had listed? i think he had 2 or 3 up. one of them was that German Gish poster i have and then there was a third i think.

[/quote:3gmkf0q7]SO SO SO SO SO SO very very very deserving to win this dear Arthur!!!
this ONE show in The Hague, this one show, recorded too… at: Paard van Troje, or: Paard (short for the whole name of the venue, the one the venue currently uses too, by the way); no less than an awesome and astonishing 17+ years ago too!!!… > just to see this poster was a joy to me, finally, to see a poster from so long ago, from here, in The Netherlands; from a show too, even!, which was one of the very first i ever got when i branched out from the official releases collecting into the first steps of bootlegs and live-recordings… i recall the over-sped ‘RAWK’ boot clearly… still; hearing the band live then and there was bliss!!!…
dear Arthur: i can already see this neatly pro-framed like your other gems in your house! a highly valued and coveted addition to your collection and one of the truest ones too, in a special way, as this is your home town!!!
love your TAFH-award, love your MCIS-award, love your PI-poster, ADORE your Metro New Years Eve poster…, still, Arthur: this is back where it really belongs!…
enjoy! enjoy! enjoy!—
see you soon
see you this weekend, with loads more TSP- and other talk to follow; no doubt!great buy Arthur!!!
(i wanted to grab this too of course, learning you had your eyes on this one, i of course backed out!- although it’s a latter date one, my massive format Utrecht-poster (and: my Pinkpop-posters) are the same to me, like this one to/for you… this one is deservedly yours i thought! and i’m very, so very glad you won it!!!- congrats!) -

Nice to see you back, Arthur.

Yeah, feels good, really. Last week that pretty cool 1991 live recordings, now this fucking rare poster.Little update on my life, hope you don’t mind… Wrong thread, I know, but I don’t want to make it a big thingy. And since nobody reads this thread anyway…
Few days ago, that Bank that is chasing my ass for quite a big amount of money, and even found a judge that verdict me for little over 50% of that amount, that same Bank called my lawyer and announced that they want to call it a shot. Stop the lawsuit against me. Since they sold the properties from the bankruptcy case of my ex-business partner, and even made a little profit (though not all intrest of the mortgage was paid off). To cut a long story short, my lawyer told them that they now should pay me a big penalty for this useless case, and gave them 6 weeks to think about it and come up with a deal.No party yet, though!
It can go here, there and everywhere still, but AT LEAST I don’t have to pay 525,000 US$ (where the Bank put me in court for) or 275,000 US$ (what the judge said I should pay, which I did not agree on, and went into Appeal for) anymore. So it feels like a turning point again.
Second thing, we are doing better with our company. Many projects came in lately, and I start hearing rumours that all salary cuts will be paid back with a little intrest, and all my bonus money that wasn’t paid also last 6-7 months, will be paid in January or February next year. Believe me, that is substantial money altogether. So yeah, from dark clouds and rain, back to a little sunshine now.
So I thought, let’s have a little treat. That poster that Peppe pointed out to us (thanks again, bro!) came on the right moment, I guess. I have to wait for next year February/March to be fully back in business though, but hell, this is already very nice.
Thanks for reading, guys. Thanks for being my online friends here. Hats off to you. The gift you send me about half a year ago (the BBC disc) was a big thingy for me, and your neverending sillyness here also.

These days, while doing research on the early shows of the Smashing Pumpkins (remember that unknown 1991 US Tour gig and recordings…), and on that 1992 Paard poster (to check if it is genuine, and it is), I also came into contact with the Smashing Pumpkins’ Tour Manager of the early Nineties. Well, with his girlfriend actually, that claims that her current boyfriend was the Tour Manager back then of the Smashing Pumpkins. I’ve asked her if I could have an interview with her guy, about the early days, and about being on the road with the Smashing Pumpkins. Should be an interesting article, right! Hopefully I will hear from them this weekend again. Keep you posted.

Ah, I see. Is the artwork and cd and matrix code the same as the European cd single?
Or, is this just a European cd single, with a sticker slapped on, or is this really made in Israel, as the spfreaks.com entry suggests?[/quote:3urui7i8]Its the European cd single, with a couple of stickers.Printed in UK.

Be careful with this one!
It’s numbered 1/1000. The Q101 cds are normally numbered as one of 2000.
My guess is that the cd set is real, but that the numbering is fake.We’ve had problems with dodgy numbers before. Either Q101 really messed up their numbering (in that case: what value does the low numbers still have?), or they had a couple of extra copies, unnumbered, and some people got their hands on them and decided to number them with numbers that would look interesting for collectors.
Just keep that in mind before you decide to double your bid only because it’s #1/1000.

Just checked with the seller and they said that they contacted the radio station,who said this….
”i think that is a bit of misconception. i called Q101 and they said interns worked there and initially there were to be only 1000, and then they subsequently made more. thus the numbering is all over the place with some of the cd’s. thats at least what the station has said.”
Doesn’t sound that bad,but i got a reply to my question after about 10 minutes,which makes me think.
I also got this about 2 weeks ago sealed for 12GBP.

i believe i heard a similar story before. it does not sound to strange to my ears.
by the way indeed, the release itself does look very much to be the real thing.
good luck!
-
that story doesn’t really change my point of view. could be true, could be false. (it doesn’t make much sense though: this is the first copy numbered out of 1000 i’ve ever seen. and i’ve seen plenty of \"2000s\". and we have a scan of #1/2000 here on spfreaks!)
either way, the cd set appears to be real, the numbering is fishy (many red flags). bid accordingly, that’s my advice. don’t let the cheaters run away with your money.
i still believe the extra-copies-story is what really happened.
what i heard is that q101 didn’t even hand out all 2000 numbered copies back in 2000. they still had quite a lot of copies at the radio station, together with a stack of unnumbered copies. every now and then they would hand out a couple of numbered copies to listeners who called in and stuff. and in the next years, all the remaining copies \"disappeared\" from the radio station.a couple of years ago (2006?) there was this seller with a handful of copies for sale on ebay (one at a time). all looked fine, but suddenly we realized something was a bit dodgy, and that’s when the lies started. \"i swear these are real\" was all the seller wanted to say. any question regarding the funny numbering was ignored.
heck, maybe (maybe!) this is even the very same seller. he stopped selling back then because it was getting a bit too hot for him. maybe he started again now, immediately going for the jackpot (1/1000) instead of trying to sell multiple copies with low numbers like he did last time.i have a bit of trouble with remembering the story, because it’s so long ago. it was on netphoria, but i think the thread got deleted.
but if i’m not mistaken, he sold two copies with the same number on ebay by contacting the second highest bidder shortly after the auction ended, saying that the winner hadn’t paid. unfortunately for the seller, the two buyers knew each other and so we found out that he was secretly trying to sell two copies with the same number.
now, it’s not impossible that q101 messed up and that there were two copies with the same number, and that this guy somehow got both of them, but the seller never gave any good answer when he was asked about it. conclusion: he was very likely numbering the cds himself. and probably made a second copy with the same number when he saw that the second highest bid was also interesting enough for him. (saved him another ebay auction.)ugh, scum.
i really hope this ebay seller is not the same person. -
yeah, that’s all very interesting.
one other note, i also have #1/2000! lol. it’s not the one on SPfreaks either. another person claims their #1 is the real one, but there is no way to tell.
davin bought one of those today PH 7\"s w/ the stupid sharpie marks on it. he said he was able to remove the sharpie mark by applying some sort of chemical to it, without ruining the paper of the 7\". i think this may also be possible. somehow altering the numbers.
i guess my concusion is that all of these are genuine, but paying for a low number makes absolutely no sense, as the numbers are all FUCKED UP, one way or another.

Oh, I agree, they look real. I would be surprised if these were fake.But this is clearly the same seller, and all of a sudden, he’s selling unnumbered copies. This proves the theory that he somehow got his hands on a pile of unnumbered copies, and has been numbering plenty of them himself before, in order to get more money on eBay.
It seems like he got smarter now though: he waited a couple of years, then sold #1/1000 for $405, and is now no longer going to risk his neck by selling more low numbers (too suspicious), so he’s simply selling unnumbered copies.
I expect another low number (#4/1000?) in a couple of months. -

-Machina vinyl
-Siamese Dream vinyl (pinkish orange)
-Zeitgeist watermarked promo cd (sealed )
-Lull cd (first pressing US)
-Tarantula Swedish promo cd
-Up Close 98-42 radio cd ( http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=2193 )Not the first Teargarden EP yet, because I want to see first if there are different pressings in several countries (which I don’t expect, to be honest, if you look at the rather low pressing numbers).
Furthermore, 3 cd albums of Kings Of Leon (I got very hooked on them lately!): Youth And Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak & Because Of The Times. Also a DVD concert of Kings Of Leon: Live At The O2. And I noticed that my other favourite band 16 Horsepower released an album that I completely missed when it came out in 2008: Live March 2001, so I bought that one too!
So yeah, I’m a happy camper these days!

I was in for the "#1/1000" version auctioned last month until I was priced-out. Had I won I would have removed the ink for sure. All you need to do is vigorously rub the area with a marker of the same colour , then wipe it off while it’s still wet. Repeat until the surface is clear. The only problem with this is you reveal any marks/scratches – if any – that the seller made when originally numbering the reverse.

Congrats on the strange fruit.

looks like the q101 seller is back with another copy. no mention of a number this time.[/quote:3rs8edla]
They look real to me… Not that I’m interested though, at the moment.[/quote:3rs8edla]
Oh, I agree, they look real. I would be surprised if these were fake.But this is clearly the same seller, and all of a sudden, he’s selling unnumbered copies. This proves the theory that he somehow got his hands on a pile of unnumbered copies, and has been numbering plenty of them himself before, in order to get more money on eBay.
It seems like he got smarter now though: he waited a couple of years, then sold #1/1000 for $405, and is now no longer going to risk his neck by selling more low numbers (too suspicious), so he’s simply selling unnumbered copies.
I expect another low number (#4/1000?) in a couple of months.[/quote:3rs8edla]hey bram, i have another theory. maybe he just got his hands on like 20 copies or something, all numbered, but has figured out a way to remove the sharpie on the back without compromising the intergrity of the paper itself. i don’t know, just an alternate theory. otherwise, one of these unnumbered copies would seemingly be worth some money as well. but i think you can "make" these if you know how.[/quote:3rs8edla]
All you need is Cotton and Methylated Spirit (Denatured Alcohol), it easily removes any ‘permanent’ marker writing from a shiny surface – without visible damage… I often used it in Medical work for different reasons! The chance someone’s doctoring numbers can sadly be very high. I’ll guess my high-numbered one’s genuine, simply because it’s high and I trusted the European supplier.
Edit: Received one of these yesterday as a gift, just the sleeve and disc only: http://spfreaks.com/default.aspx?page=C … S&item=210

I have a list of about 10 CDs I consistantly look for other than eBay and I am very proud to say o found one of them. I just bought a "Gish" GOLD cd and can’t wait to receive it.[/quote:2zrfhd2h]
Congrats! That is on my top 10 list also, together with rarities like Mellon Collie (French promo), several French Adore promos, Zero from Korea, Gish longbox, some Mexican and South African releases…So yeah, always good to find something as rare as that. Congrats again! How did you find out it is a true item?
-
The person had it on their website as a sealed promo Caroline copy (hole punch in bar-code). I was curious and contacted her. Earlier in the month I found a copy of Gish with a hole punch in the front cover and the person told me it was a promo copy that he received from the label, so I started to believe it was a GOLD copy (the only scan on this site with a hole punch in the bar-code is the Gold CD). When I contacted the seller I asked if she would open it and tell me if the CD is gold or silver and if the screen-print was black or purple. She opened it and told me it was gold. I also sent a scan of the CD from this site and she said it was the one. I figured she thought she had something before she opened it, due to the price she was asking (right around $100). But never did I figure it would be the GOLD CD, I paid for the item and she stated she shipped it.
Once I have it in my hands I will confirm it.
-
Awesome story! That’s how the Sherlock Holmes of the Smashing Pumpkins collecting community grabs his cuties, and nails them down in his jailhouse…
Cool, cool, cool! Congrats again!I found an owner of that Gish Gold cd a few years ago also (in the UK) but never did he want to sell it… And it’s pretty funny (not) when you think of it, as I have many one-of-a-kind and almost-one-of-a-kind SP items, and this thingy came in a release of almost 200, and I never managed to track one down!

We definitely have some Gazillionaires here in this thread (not me!). Good work.
I killed my Bank acct. permanently with a small splurge recently: A few more Catherine items and an ADM autograph (submitted to/for the site earlier today).
SP-wise, I don’t envisage buying much more now, aside from standard mainstream releases… I’m sure I’ve said that before though.
I also grabbed a few things from our friend JamesIha in Sweden, the last item arrived to me this morning.
Now, I have the new ADM release to try saving up for – the shipping will probably be horrendous.

I hope they will atleast hold their value, I just picked up the other one with Stitch and planes. A bit more @ $99.[/quote:24nu9762]
I think they will be pretty sought after in some years, 250 copies, defo not much.
Anyway i think the artwork looks cool, think im goin to see if i can buy a set of these even though i dont collect the vinyl format, and i want that poster as well

Bought another copy of Stitch and Planes, got it for 50$
Looks like 75 – 100 $ are what ppl are willing to pay for them.
Watching all of them on ebay, so we know what they are worth[/quote:r272g82k]
they were $7 at the record store, if i’m not mistaken.i’m sure the price will drop further, if you already found one for $50.
i’ve heard these didn’t even sell out in one day. -

Yesterday morning i seached ebay.us for what i could find about red vinyls.
At that time they there were 75 $ 85 $ 100 $ buy now offers on the LA vinyl.One went for a 100$, one for 85 and 3 for 75 ( I bought one for 75) at that moment it was the cheapest buy now.
Later that day, 2 other copies of the LA vinyl popped up for 50$, both were gone within 10 min, also buy now.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … K:MEWAX:IT
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … K:MEWAX:IT
Those 2 auction above ended late, one went for 65 and one went for 80
There is still 2 buy now offers for 75 $
So actually the cheapest copies went for 50 $ of the LA vinyl (So far), but there is like 6 of those left on ebay still, and it seems like everybody from the LA store listed there vinyl on ebay.
However the Chicago vinyl, ive only seen very few copies, there 2 on ebay atm, the cheapest so far is the one EAZYE bought for 55 $
But yeah Bram, Seem like all those LA vinyl will drop fast in price if ppl keep power posting auctions on ebay

It was you that outbid me then.
Seems like an uncut 7" test.[/quote:2oc0513i]
Are all 7"s made from cut 12"ers? I thought 7"s were made from 7" acetates. I had no idea they were made from 12"s and then "cut".
Very nice Derek
Was it on ebay?[/quote:2oc0513i]
Yeah it was on eBay, but listed horribly.
fucking a! nice! just when i think I get something nice, you pull this out of your pocket. if this was on ebay, im embarassed for not seeing it.[/quote:2oc0513i]

[/quote:kdrvc7x1]i think both options are used. somehow i do think a 7" is always cut on a 12" acetate plate and then cut to make the master/mother. this test press was made from the uncut acetate plate which i believe is a little bit of a curious anomaly, but pretty cool nonetheless…

Sentimental tone on:
I became a Backseat Fan of SP for the most part after Jimmy C. was no longer in the band, much prefering him in there and the ‘good old days.’
I’d given up hope of ever having all the original members’ autographs; not only Billy C.’s.
Due to a very special person who kindly shared one of her prized possessions with me, I’m really happy to own the set on a Gish vinyl.
This item pretty much ends a part of history for me, sealing it forever with irreplaceable memories.
For this to me was something no amount of money could ever buy:

I know, but this cd was my crown jewel of my collection.
Im am truely happy it stays withing the family, else i wouldn’t sell it.
Some guy over at sp.com offered me more money then Arthur bought it for, i declined him.[/quote:ieeb6aqi]
That’s how I got away with under-paying for it, bringing in the SPfreaks family thingy… Just kidding of course. I’m honoured that I’m able to do Ayoe a little favour in these hard times. I truly love these type of acetate promos (and this is a one-of-a-kind!), and it’s going to be 1 of my top 10 Smashing Pumpkins items also, believe me!
And talking about the price of that item… I paid the same to Ayoe what she paid on the auction a while back. I think it’s fair in a time to help a friend (oh sorry, family member that is!
) out. Normally I would never have paid that much money for a single song on a single cd, though… That’s 1 of the reasons why I let the auction for this item pass by at that time, the other reason being my budget is limited anyway these days… Anyway, Derek is right, Ayoe, don’t forget that. 1 year ago I was fucking close to also selling my collection, when that stupid judge put 190,000 Euro on my head in court. They tried to collect that money twice in the meantime, it was my lawyer who was able to push them away. For 1 year I had to hide my whole Smashing Pumpkins collection, and only a few weeks ago I moved it back to my place, and started building the "SP rock hok"… Because I feel rather secure about winning the Appeal, which is due in August, I just heard. So I know what it is to have something precious, and (almost) having to let it go again. But all these stories add emotional value to an item, right! Also to your Cherub Rock Townhouse promo, Ayoe!

I went to Saturn yesterday, and they had the first Teargarden EP for â¬26.99. Not too bad. I picked up a copy. I listened to it once. I don’t think I’ll give it another listen anytime soon. Quite awful. Cringeworthy. Widow Wake My Mind is the least awful song of the EP, and that says a lot about the other songs.
But hey, at least I own that obelisk now. Booyakasha!

I’m with Cool.
I’m in London, UK, for a few days and picked up a Made In Holland release for Siamese Dream. Found it at HMV Oxford Street. Nothing special one would say, and I have it in my collection already… But this one has a somewhat strange matrix code: GZ VB2848 4650102-CD IFPI LD02 IFPI 5J54. On the back of the jewelcase the code for France is PM 538. Compare this to the NL pressing already on SPfreaks.com: 465010 2 @ 3 1-2-3-NL with PM 520. So, wtf?

I purchased a 5 record lot off ebay. It wasn’t a very good description, but was pleased when it arrived. All vinyl looks unplayed and the covers range from vg to nm It came with:
Siamese Dream on orange vinyl
Gish UK reissue from 94
P.I. UK black vinyl
Adore us release
1979/bullet 45
1979 remix 12\"The first 3 was worth the $50 shipped!

Oh boy, I did! Just came home though 1 hour ago, with the Eurostar train… But we went to all the touristic places like Tower Bridge (damn, it was more impressive than I thought!), Tower of London (awesome too! spend almost the whole day there after a 1 hour tour with The Beefeater, and we saw the British Crown Jewels…
), London Eye, Ripley Museum, Houses of Parliament with the Big Ben clock, Buckingham Palace… And of course: Camden Town! Found a few cds there too (Muse and Pumpkins), but to be honest, watching people in the Stables and have a coffee in front of Cyberdog was more fun! Most impressive part of the trip for me, Tower of London:

They are all stickered with that official SIAE thingy, yes. Furthermore, Pisces is exactly like the one in the online collection (artwork from Holland, cd made in Italy), Adore is Made in EU on the artwork, but matrix-ed EMI Uden, while the Italian sticker says \"PROD. ITA\". Zeitgeist and Greatest Hits 1CD are still sealed, and heavily FNAC stickered too (1 SIAE sticker says IMPORT, the other one is neutral/not telling anything), so I cannot tell anything yet. I will break the seals someday for scanning purposes, however, and tell you what I find inside. Later.
-
ah, that reminds me. the regular us edition of zeitgeist doesn’t have matrix codes yet in the spfreaks collection. instead it says \"sealed\". i wanted to look this up recently, when i was away from home, and \"came home from a bald journey,\" as they say here in belgium.
regular release: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=1475
with promo stamp: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=2071the matrix code is the same as on the promo cd, except that it has IFPI 2U6E instead of IFPI 2U7P. (i also noticed that the other ifpi code, ifpi L909, is present twice on both cds.)
can this be added?

I’m honestly quite curious to hear where the story from the pressing plant pressing numbers comes from.I’d say there’s nothing too special about this. Maybe just a curio…

I’m with Thom here. It’s very easy to punch out the centre to make this. [/quote:1riuqb5f]
But wouldn’t you damage the label if you try to do this? Or do you believe the result of doing this yourself can look like the scans on spfreaks.com?[/quote:1riuqb5f]You see hundreds of them in second hand record shops, look next time you’re in one. Find a stack of 7"s with big centre holes and look how much missing text there is. It cuts straight through the label as neatly as it does the vinyl. Hw do you think it would have happened in a pressing plant anyway? would that not be pressed out in exactly the same way?
-
i have no idea.
i always thought that there were just two kinds of 7 inches. but now you’re telling me that all 7 inches are born with a small hole, and that they can push the middle bit out and make it a 7 inch with a larger hole. and that you can buy a small hole 7 inch and make it a large hole one yourself at home. a certain 7 inch hole pusher tool is mentioned.
this is all new to me.

I haven’t had anything new in months now, but Lady Luck blew me away. Picked up two of these during the week, I’ll give the extra one away though.

Maybe a rude question Herr Daze, but are both copies of good quality? My copy’s quality is so so (see scans on that item 82, they are from my copy, the back of it has a little damage), maybe we can do an exchange/trade something, before you start giving away? -
Hiho…
Today i’ve received a lucky eBay-find.
A Tourbook from the Zeitgeist Summer Tour 2007 (August – September 2007).
It’s a our book in pocket-size (8cm x 12,5cm) (uhh, don’t ask me whats this in these abnormally dimensions like ‘inches’ )A little detail: Lisa ‘Harriton’ islisted as Lisa ‘Navarro’. Does anybody know something about this name-change-thing? Was she married / divorced? (SpFreaks gossip-style
)

very impressive. i had never heard about this misprint.do you think it’s easy to fake/emulate this misprint if you have the normal 7"?
i personally don’t think it is, but i wonder what your opinion is.[/quote:1rtaohxf]It’s incredibly easy to do. There’s a special tool to do it. Most jukeboxes run on 7"s with large holes like that so to play a normal 7" you have to stamp out the centre.[/quote:1rtaohxf]

The seller was selling off the whole of siamese singles this way so I believe that it must be simple to do. -

it’s derek’s set.
i still don’t really know how to feel about this. i’m very glad i finally have a complete set. i’ve been looking for this for years. it was at the top of my wantlist. but i’m also very sorry for derek, because i think this is one of the things he was planning to never part with. it makes me feel a bit guilty. -
I know what you mean. At least Derek knows that the set is in good hands, and all known complete sets are in Dutch speaking countries. He will feel extremely proud about that, I’m sure.
Talking about this MII Virgin US promo set again, could it be safe to assume that there are maybe around 10 complete sets, 1 or 2 of them sets were split up during the year, hence the few eBay auctions with 1 CD of this set only, and the rest of the sets are owned by the band members and their management? And only 2 complete sets found their way to the market, and are in European collectors’ hands now?

I treated myself on a little Xmas gift, I had my If All Goes Wrong poster framed.
It’s very impressive in reality, the pic doesn’t do justice to the actual looks. It’s hanging next to the Stand Inside Your Love subway poster. All in all, it’s a pretty cool addition to my Smashing Pumpkins Music Room.

I have both, still little suspicious about those two. Seller said that those are from Warner, but i’m still not 100% sure. Never heard that interview before though. Probably they are legit.. Would love to see some program which could determine date of burning.

they look totally legit to me. but i suppose that’s obvious, considering i bid on them.
one thing i’ve always tried to collect the shit out of is smashing pumpkins interview CDs. i was really intrigued by (mostly) billy and co. and their personalities, especially early on in their career. billy interviews nowadays are quite boring. he’s lost something, i can’t quite put my finger on it just yet. but anyway, this promo interview CD, even if it’s for zwan, is the only \"official\" interview CD i can think of, for any band billy has been in. hope it’s worth listening to. if so, i’ll upload it here for anyone who wants a listen.

Thank you, girlfriends son! So, that was the reason it didn’t go to 70 or 80 USD, which I expected to happen anyway! I mean, I know those recent promos are kinda rare and US only, as far as I know, but paying 50 dollar (which I did for Freak and The Fellowship now), come on!

I command you to feel sorry now. It went for super duper cheap after all, it is quite rare, and it contains 6 cds in a rather big & nice plastic fold out sleeve.

Just bought a US compilation cd called Loaded Volume 1 with Disarm (acoustic). No idea if it is something new, but for 1 buck only I thought I could take the risk. Discogs doesn’t even mention that track on that cd. And I’m trying to hunt down the 1992 German Virgin Summer Slam promo cd, since it contains I Am One and the tour dates for the second German tour. Quite the curiosity!

I might have an idea which one you bought… I was having an eye on that one for a long time, but I thought it was too expensive. So I waited till the auction was over and ask the German seller… But he said he just sold it… Most probably to you, I guess! Congratulations! But I just scored something else from eBay. A Gish album UK promo cd for 7 dollar, not mentioned on SPfreaks yet!

[/quote:2om60reg]yeah, thanks. i made an offer for less than the listing price, and he accepted.
i messaged the seller about that gish CD as well. turns out, it’s only denoted by a sticker, so i passed up bidding on it. however, here’s what the seller said:
Dear samderek,
It has a ‘Promo Copy’ sticker on the back of it, which doesn’t sound like much, but if it helps to validate it it was lifted straight from a ‘Hospitality Pack’ issued to the band Gomez when they signed to Hut Records.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Matt.
– thelonelylimpingpigeonSo, it’s got a little provenance to it, which is cool.
-
Yeah I knew about the sticker, I asked also before I bid. To me a (genuine) sticker is the same as a promo stamp, so I’m VERY happy with it. But to me he did not explain about that \"it was lifted straight from a ‘Hospitality Pack’ issued to the band Gomez when they signed to Hut Records\". What does that mean exactly anyway?
-
well, it sounds like when the band gomez was signed to hut records (1997), virgin/hut sent them a little gift basket to say, \"hey thanks for signing with us, get to know your contemporaries!\". aka, other bands on the hut label. since gomez is english, they were sent a UK copy of gish, from ’94 apparently, that featured a promotional sticker on it. makes sense for virgin to label the cd as such, as it would be a truly promotional item.

What I know of this M2 promo, is described already on SPfreaks. I received some (rather small) pics of it years ago and uploaded them in the collection. Check this, it contains the pic I showed here.
http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=553
I discussed this thingy with a few friends years ago, and what I heard was that it contains/might contain the very first vinyl rip that was slightly too fast. An American friend of Billy (the initial vinyl ripper maybe? I don’t know) traveled with the band on their Europe tour (or followed soon after during the tour), and he was posessing this vinyl rip on a cd-r, or something like that. He gave that vinyl rip cd-r to Billy, who gave it to Virgin Schallplatten (or a copy of it). Virgin then made a little promo out of it for a few people (see letter). And I will hopefully soon receive one of those promos…
(I’m not sure why Sven thinks it will never hit the market again, well, at least NOT MY COPY, but there will be a few more copies around I guess. Sven? No?)
I will scan it to improve the pics on SPfreaks of course, and will let you guys know what version of the M2 release is on the promo (presuming I can figure that out
). We can hope it is another, unknown version, but I don’t think so. And I’m not even sure if I remember this story described above properly, so anyone who can correct/finetune it is happily invited to do so. -
the \"first fast rip\" is the eric agnew version. he’s also the one who recorded the soundboard recordings on this last european tour.
his (complete) machina II transfer is available here: http://www.archive.org/details/machina.II.ver.Agnew
maybe you can compare once you receive the promo. -

And: indeed, i was talking about your copy. Maybe another one will pop up eventually. You never know. -
Well, the Virgin letter speaks of a \"CD-Master\" given to them at the Munich concert (that was 2000/09/24), and the Machina II vinyl was released on 2000/09/05. So I found the vinyl rip story trustworthy, though funny… Why would Billy want a vinyl rip back of his own release, while he can order to urgently send a proper master from the US if he wants to listen to it, or give it away on the road? Trustworthy, when it was a rather spontaneous action in Munich and the only thing to give away was the cd-r of his friend (Eric Agnew, I understand now). But, when it is indeed a CD-Master as a source to this promo, it might be interesting to check it out anyway. Let’s see, I’ll keep you informed.

1- EA made the transfer, quickly and went on tour in Europe.
2- BC wanted a copy for Mel to listen to.
3- BC asked EA to make these ‘tour’ copy or copies…
4- EA made the cdr BC got
5- this is the ‘too fast’ initial rip of the vinyl
6- BC didn’t have any masters at hand so he asked EA
7- it was only meant for on the road listening for Mel and the band
8- until finding this CDR promo i’d never known about BC giving his copy (with his writing) away to Virgin Germany and i don’t think it was meant to when he asked EA; i gather it was an act of gesture and spontineaty on BC’s part as per the letter included
9- this CDR is sourced from BC’s ‘master" which in fact is EA’s CDR rip from the album’s vinyls -

i don’t know! this was stored somewhere in my memory, but if you guys haven’t heard about it, it must be false. maybe i was getting confused about this copy and i thought they handed it out to random people instead of the record company.
also, maybe they say \"cd master\", because for their promo, whatever cd they got from billy was the cd master.
i don’t think billy would give a way a non-vinyl source of this album just like that. doesn’t match the whole plan. sometimes i even wonder if the couple of machina II tracks that were officially released on cd were sourced from the vinyls. i wouldn’t be too surprised. -

yeah, this is also what i’ve always heard/read. but how exactly do we know this? is it just the most logical guess, or has this been checked or confirmed?[/quote:1oxoirrt]uhm official confirm > not that i KNOW of…
but, it doesn’t make any sense to use the poor vinyl cuts…
the degradation in the cut acetate vinyls is so huge and the quality of the off. released sound is so high i just cannot fathom how even a ‘virgin’ copy of the MII vinyl set would yield that quality; even the Q101 copy sounds terrible when compared to the released tracks. -
i’ll compare the \"virgin promo\" to the officially released tracks again, but i doubt my ears will be able to hear the difference. my ears aren’t very good.
do more people notice a big difference in quality when comparing the known vinyl transfers (the \"virgin promo\" in particular) to the officially released tracks?
-

I don’t claim to be an expert on any level but, aren’t the official tracks different takes and mastered differently?
For me, the officially released tracks sound better than the vinyl rips. I always prefer to listen to vinyl recordings than digital/CD but these rips seem overly compressed and muddy. Most of it is probably due to mastering for CD vs mastering for Vinyl. I can say that the differences between vinyl rips are less noticable to me than the difference between the vinyl rip and official tracks.
-
-
-
-
are you offering to provide the tracks, so i can compare them, or are you asking if it’d be helpful if you compared some tracks yourself?
in the case of providing them: that’s very nice of you, but i own it all myself/have access to it online. so there’s no need.
unless that german promo contains another transfer than the one we’re expecting. i don’t have access to that one.in the case of doing some comparing yourself: be my guest.
if you can rip a song or two, three from that german promo once it arrives, i wouldn’t mind confirming where it comes from.

That’s… cheap!
And call me crazy, because I never thought I would fall for a signature, but this one is VERY special. To me that is. Because of what it stands for as a total. It’s the Today 1 track promo, signed in the year of release by Billy & D’Arcy and by Yingy & Magda, the girls in the picture of this iconic 1993 single of the Smashing Pumpkins. I think it is the most awesome Smashing Pumpkins-related signature set ever seen, and the price was good too (125 bucks, that is 85 Euro, almost a laughter, because of the exchange rates these days…
). Of course, James and Jimmy could have been on it too with their autographs, but again, I don’t care about signatures so much. It’s the total package of iconic song, promo item, signed in the year of release + 2 extra signatures of the girls on the artwork. I’m happy, and will definately frame it!

yeah i know, but it’s weird they type and print it out on the insert.
still one of the coolest finds, arthur. i’d pay a fortune for that cd.[/quote:2oz2pz2k]
You mean more than 150 bucks? That’s what I agreed on eventually. That includes a package deal discount for 10 rare cds in 1 go, btw. It’s by far the most expensive cd in the package, but I think it’s still a rather fair price for this rarity, right?These are the other 4 cds I just obtained.

so, can any info be given on how you found these? i can only assume it required a proper amount of digging. do you have an inside source in the record company somewhere?[/quote:4t6pl1na]
Haha, well, almost. These items come from a very old US friend of me, close to the band with a network in the music business. He provided me with quite a few nice Smashing Pumpkins items over the years, but this time he struck it big, I guess. He never told me how and from who he got the items, just that it is honest business with the managers and whoever within Virgin. So I never asked further, and just let him do the digging… BTW, this is a tip for you collectors. I have quite a few of those business friends everywhere around the world, from Australia to South America and the US/Canada region. Keep in touch with them on a regular basis, be nice and friendly, play fair, pay in time, and they will consider you as the #1 on their list to contact when a rare item hits the market. Look beyond eBay, is what I’m saying also.

No idea, it’s definately not BC his handwriting. I guess it’s an inhouse promo also?[/quote:3gh2xpzo]
that’s not billy’s handwriting? what makes you think so? it looks like his handwriting to me.and why are there only 14 tracks? where is age of innocence?
have you received these items already? how does the cd itself look like? -
-
-
Yeah, I know what you mean, Bram, I was a little confused too. But when I compared the W and E for example, Billy writes them differently.[/quote:35vbpu60]
but those are mainly small letters. the machina promo is all capital letters. of course there are going to be differences between how someone writes GLASS and glass, or E and e. no? -
i think age of innocense is missing due to the early nature of the promo?[/quote:6h76c6zn]
possibly. wasn’t age of innocence the last song they recorded? i believe i’ve read that somewhere.btw, it’s age of innocence. two times c. http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=8656
-
it’s direct from the movie [studio] itself. i was thinking it was maybe more of a virgin-related thing, but it would appear not. not sure what the big W on the j-card stands for. maybe it’s just a generic label, but i don’t really think so.[/quote:1hr0yf4g]
this looks like the same thing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 0726027026they way it’s described, they’re cues for billy corgan. so maybe it’s the movie, but without the music? so that he can find out where he has to compose music on top of?

yeah i don’t know. the more i think about it, the more i think i bought something that someone just made themselves. basically, i think it’s like if i bought a VHS tape of a movie i liked, and made my own cues for quick reference. not sure why anyone would do that, but i guess this particular seller needed to.
yes, same seller as well.

Fair enough. Maybe it is Billy’s handwriting after all. And I think Derek is right, I have seen this promo with the SP logo somewhere before, so it must be a tracklist copied from another source… Or this is the source maybe? I hope to receive these items in September I hope, after I paid the full bill. Will keep you guys posted, as usual! -

Yeah, kinda. I know this person for many years already, and I don’t want such thing to backfire on me also. You know, even with the higher price for this Billy CD, I paid the same amount for this 10 CD set as what was paid for the Live Bercy Delabel promo, to give you an idea. Before I paid a little less, even. Still a nice deal, I guess. -

i was watching that pink sub pop poster on ebay. i already have it, but i was interested in how much it would go for. wasn’t it fairly expensive? $80-90?
or did you buy it elsewhere?[/quote:3t9erkq4]it went for $86.01 (if it’s the one from eBay). i was way outbid. i also have this poster, but it’s creased, so it sucks. i want one in better condition.
also, i never thought of it as a tristessa poster before, but that seems completely accurate. cool!

hmmm… yes, i was the winning bidder on this ebay-auction…
fairly expensive? hmm, it wasn’t cheap i’ve never seen this poster for sale before… so the first and only thought was: want, want, want
i think this poster wasn’t that rare in ’91… but nobody cares about this stuff / type of posters… so nowadays it’s rare… over the last years i was in contact with some sellers of sub-pop-promo-stuff, but nobody had this poster or was collecting posters from the early sub pop years / seattle music scene…and the next tristessa-poster will sell for half the price…
the same seller had also the ’91 metro poster… winning bid for this poster was around 160$, but i wasn’t the winning bidder

[url:2z3r2xlb]http://www.ebay.com/itm/320761976914[/url:2z3r2xlb][/quote:2z3r2xlb]
Is this a bootleg cd? Or just a very unclear listing of the "Live at Cabaret Metro 10-5-88" cd? What about that code in the auction description? Is it just their own reference to the auction, or is it supposed to be the release code or matrix code of the cd? -
-
-
that seller is selling another copy right now. he’s also selling drown, the live bootleg. both facts make me indeed believe it’s probably a bootleg. but who knows?
what makes you think it’s homemade? are you thinking cd-r? wouldn’t it be hard to get a 100% positive feedback by selling nothing but cd-r bootlegs on ebay?
-
I’ve seen such sellers before, also for radio station cds. Maybe it’s an \"official\" boot, but at least this one has no intention at all to mislead the potential buyer with a genuine Metro 88 cd. No pics, no misleading info. Just the songs of that show on a cd. People who think that it might be the give-away promo from the 2000/12/02 Metro show, mislead themself, or are hoping for a lucky eBay shot.
-
what if it had never occurred to you that it might not be the real thing? if your first thought is: \"oh, cool, that cabaret metro cd for sale. that doesn’t happen very often. and it’s only $20 for now. and it’s in excellent condition. let’s give it a shot.\"?
dunno. i’ve never seen a bootleg for this cd before. it’s not impossible to make the mistake of not thinking that this might not be what you first thought it was.
i don’t think it’s fair to put the responsability with the buyer. you say the seller has no intention to mislead, but then why didn’t they include a picture? or a description that makes it clear what it is (and what it isn’t). this auction could be for anything. not clear at all.people shouldn’t be selling fakes on ebay in the first place. it’s against the rules too.
honeymade opiate, can you let me know what the case is with this cd? if it’s a fake, i might start reporting these to ebay. -
When in doubt, always ask the seller for pics and extra info. No answer: don’t buy. Otherwise you get what you bought based on the current description only, and that can still be a homemade cd-r with these songs. Right? Just use common sense, or you will be fooled by your own presumptions or high hopes based on nothing… That’s not buying/collecting, but that’s gambling. Been there, done that, moved on!
-
-
Its a re issue, not sure what the seller mean by that.
I mailed him, asking if it was the official metro show or maybe a bootleg.
This is what he wrote.THE CD I HAVE IS A RE ISSUE OF THAT DISC…BUT ITS NOT THAT DISC !….LOOKS SIMILIAR….SOUNDS THE SAME,,, AND IF MUSIC IS IMPORTANT THEN MY DISC IS GOOD ENOUGH…IF OWNING A PIECE OF PLASTIC IS IMPORTANT THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE….GOOD LUCK
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Well, of course that it must be a fake for 20 bucks! I mean, c’mon.
Anyway, I was too eager with bidding on this one (knowing that it’s probably a fake) but I still sent a question to the seller:
\"Just wondering if this is the regular CD that was given away at their last show on December 2nd 2000? The scuba diver painted by James in a paper sleeve cover.
Regards, Danni\"
And I got this reply:
\"no – this is a re-issue of that disc – it is NOT the disc given away free
cheers\"

-
-

i don’t know.
i’ve bought it years ago. i can’t remember how much i paid, but i think i only got it because i placed a low bid on ebay and nobody outbid me.
i think for that peel sessions cassette, i placed a bid around 5 pound. that’s how far my personal interest goes. i was quite surprised it went for £41. -
yeah for me, i like certain things. CDs, sure, CDs in cardsleeves, super, must have those.
promo cassettes? love them.
test pressings on vinyl? probably my favorite thing to acquire.
so these 3 categories, i’ll bid pretty high. but for other things, like bootleg vinyls or those teargarden releases, i bid low. for example, i JUST won vol II for $16. i thought that was pretty good, sealed too.

i’m buying strange fruit/peel sessions 10", unnumbered. finally. i bought this before, but then it got lost in the mail. hopefully all goes fine now.
also: astral planes 7", and that mcis 3lp test pressing.[/quote:c1v8ij2h]
HOLY Records Batman!!! Those are excellent additions to your collection.
Being a vinyl guy, I still need a copy of Strange Fruit. It’s easy enough to get, I just need to get around to buying one. How much harder is it to obtain the un-numbered?
I have both 7" so I’m glad you got to finish your quest. I know you’ve been waiting for a while now, did you get a good price?
I know that I am better off only dreaming about a TP like MCIS so congrats. On a more serious note, what does one do with a TP?
-
strange fruit 10\": i’ve been looking for the unnumbered one for years. i found one in april last year, but that one got lost in the mail. now i’ve found another one.
this is what spfreaks.com says: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=2965There are rumored to be unnumbered versions that exist, however, one has yet to surface.[/quote:1872vwld]
what does one do with a TP? no idea. own? we’ll see soon.
-
-
i don’t think the unnumbered mcis lp is on spfreaks.com.
i think the unnumbered mcis lp should have a separate entry on spfreaks.com. it’s a different pressing, with a different release date (somewhere in early ’98 if i’m not mistaken) and one of the six sides has a different matrix code.for the unnumbered peel sessions 10\" i’m not sure. here it’s not a different pressing. a couple of copies just don’t have a number.
if we’re going to conclude that the unnumbered copies are promotional copies, then i’d give it a separate entry. if not, then i don’t know. one entry or two entries would be equally good, in my opinion. i guess two entries are easier for the people who want to add both to their spfreaks.com collection. -

agreed totally… -> that was a new pressing as they had to switch to new master ‘stamps’ (old ones worn out or something, no remastering or anything) and demand was so huge they went on with production, but didn’t number any longer.as for SF 10" >>>
there’s just a quite large bunch of unnumbered copies. back in the days i did not care for this release for some reason, but i’ve seen quite some. i guess it’s just the same pressing and there were sleeves left and pressed copies left so they went along.
for the collector i’d say the idea to list them seperately would be best as the one without the numbering is excpected to be more scarce than the numbered one. but still quite a lot (i.e.: not just promotional) -
-
-

i hadn’t seen this one before.
looks very similar – almost identical, even – to the promo with the purple cover: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=2363[/quote:snmstnh9]seems weird to me that they would make a purple and red promo, but whatever. it looks legit to me.

found the real deal promo version for the gish US remastered CD ():

i thought, let’s get that one quickly, rather than ending up looking for it for months and end up paying quite a lot anyway (just like with those teargarden promos).
this seller had two auctions that ended at the same time, and i wanted to play it safe (not miss out), so i put a snipe on both, and ended up with two copies. -

which is excellent news, as i was still looking for the purple one.

won this on ebay just now. it’s supposed to have a radio edit of bullet with butterfly wings. i’ve never seen such a thing before. i wonder what it’ll be like.
[/quote:3nr782be]nice one.
i think i’ve heard this one once.
it’s – if i remember correctly – a version of the master mix with some frequencies pumped up so that with the FM modulation / compression the song would still sound as heavy.
same applies to the extremely heavy mix for Cherub Rock Arthur has, made for Mark Goodier of the BBC for Radio play.
although it might be a shortened edit. But i’ve never heard of those for this song. -

-
-
-
-
sure. here’s an mp3: http://www.mediafire.com/?mdjaco7p9phg6e6

Is that Singles OST the same pressing that I have from Holland? It seems to be the only release with the yellow sticker on the front. If it is, it’s still not in the database. Not only did you pick up a LiD retail but a TP also…WELL DONE! And, those cardsleeves look amazing. I’m not even a CD collector but I’m impressed with your purchase.
I still need a regular retail LiD for my collection if anyone wants to help me out.

Yup, that’s the one. Not sure why it’s not on the site yet, I’ll upload once I receive it. The Korean vinyl also has a yellow sticker, but it’s in Korean.

In your expert opinion, given todays market, what is a fair price to pay for a NM or better copy? I stopped looking for a copy over a year ago. And given SP vinyl prices are all over the map and flucuate far to much and far to often, any advice that the pros can offer would be helpful.[/quote:wni964tw]
for a sealed copy I’d say anywhere from 200 to 250 dollars would seem reasonable. not sealed, maybe 100 to 150? i bought mine a long time ago so i haven’t been paying attention to prices on this item.

latest little things for my collection:
.Adore Japanese cd in Tower Records promotional canvas bag
.Light Into Dark limited reissue cd
.another Daphne Descends french only cd with promotional sticker (?) ( will post a picture in my twitter account followed by the team)…to be continued…[/quote:nydrn3mi]
You’re welcome on the Adore CD,
I’d be very interested in seeing a picture of this Daphne Descends pic with a sticker. Very cool.

As for me, not much, cheap items here and there, but I received back the official Japanese translation of the text that accompanies the Greatest Hits/Judas 0 (initial pressing?) from my JP stepsister. Not completely as exciting as I would have hoped, yet, still cool to have this information officially translated. It will go into some sort of accessible database once the new site launches. If you simply cannot wait, email me, I’ll send it to you.
Also, I have two Chilean Zeitgeists in the mail FINALLY! Very excited to get those and put them in the database.
To everyone, once again [there are a lot of you] who have submitted pics to me personally, I first of all want to thank you for continuing our mission on this site. And thank you for your patience. Arthur has had to take a step or two back, hopefully temporarily, and my work at home (the real job), has me working 12 hours days, typically. I just haven’t the time. It will get done, it’s my promise to you!
Love you guys, very much.

yes, you’re right! no serial number (no mention anywhere)… the word "numbered" is inapropriate. -

how about that daphne descends with the sticker? can we see a pic of that?[/quote:uaeoag6a]
sorry…
not really what i (we) did expected… the stickers are from "Machina" era promo (given away)… but i can say for the price ,7 euros+ 2 for shipping, who will hesitate?[/quote:uaeoag6a]
Are you saying you bought a Daphne Descends promo for 9 Euro inclusive of shipment? Damn, that’s a deal of a lifetime!
(funny that they slapped a Machina promo sticker on it, though. not sure if that will increase the value… think not.) -

i think he means the machina stickers were separate.[/quote:2mvzffo6]
that’s also what i understood.so not only did he buy a daphne descends promo for 9 euro, including shipping; he also got some free machina stickers on top of it.
that sounds like a decent deal to me.[/quote:2mvzffo6]awesome deal…
if those were glued to the promo the value would have quite been lower, but now— amazing deal!!! superb in fact, congrats!

We are spending the weekend in Brussels, Belgium and between the famous tourist spots I managed to hit-and-run some music shops. Some cds: Zwan – Post Pumpkins (Brazilian boot), SP – Live At Budokan (Dutch 2cd boot, couldn’t find it on SPfreaks), Oceania (EU pressing) and… Some vinyl! I Am One 12\" and 10\", Cherub Rock & Disarm both 12\". Paid 79.50 Euro in total, in 3 different shops. I am not a vinyl collector, but when they are 10 euro each… I just could not resist!
The vinyls look new, unplayed, just that Disarm has a fold mark in one corner, and I think I noticed some shelve wear on I Am One 12\". I already have the 10\" but I never liked the quality of the sleeve. Now I can sell/trade it…

Oceania: Canadian, Australian, Mexican, Japanese, Korean & UK (promo) on its way, US and EU already in. JP (promo) in the picture…
Furthermore Siamese Dream wooden box #19, Earphoria Taiwan (not on SPfreaks yet? Weird…), Sweet Relief promo and a bunch of Delabel order forms and etc. Last but not least, a Zeitgeist Ukrainian cd album.

OK, OK, fair enough…
Should have called it \"has been taken care of\" or something.
I was outbid on the Japanese promo cd for Oceania, but that’s OK. Will find it again…
As a sweet revenge I won a US promo compilation with Today (a TM Century HitDisc from 1994, not on SPfreaks yet).
This is what I called a Korean release before, but maybe it is Taiwanese?

Looks like she is selling some stuffs on eBay. I noticed another award she has up for auction. She just sold an Adore award too…
[/quote:29ml705h]
This award I mean. I’m sure she was hoping to get a little more for it, after that Adore award sold for over 700 bucks. -

\"Limited Edition 1 of 5 2\" Commemorative Ocean Cruise & Listening Party Souvenir Button featuring Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and Jonathan Monte of Crestfallen.com. \"Everything the light touches is our kingdom.\"
Ships everywhere.\"
I already had the very firm idea that I recognized Mr Monte, but I also wandered who is that random stranger next to him? Billy Corgan of what? Right. Noooooo idea who that is, but I think a price of $250 – $500 would have been more fair… Lucky buyer!
What did you pay for your button, Bram? And even more important, should we reserve an entry on SPfreaks.com for this it-really-blows-my-mind collectors’ item?

the creator sent me a button for free, as i was the person who inspired him to make these.and i guess it could be added to the unofficial part of the spfreaks collection, but it would be a bit silly. funny too.

Westwood One July 1996 radio show cd \"On The Edge\" for US$ 5.95, with Smashing Pumpkins special: ‘Disarm’, ‘Tonight, Tonight’, ‘Thirty-Three’, ‘Beautiful’, ‘Cherub Rock’ and ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’ were on the playlist. Not on SPfreaks yet… I just love to find such rarities especially when they come for almost nothing.
On a sidenote, and I might be very wrong with this prediction, but I think there will be a time in the future that those radio cds are highly valued and quite valueable. Don’t know why, just a guts feeling.
