ArthurSpectatorWelcome on board Cassie! Call me granny, grandpa, or whatever, as I have Billy’s age.
ArthurSpectatorI’m game Sven, you know it!
ArthurSpectatorReggea is making sense here… The appreciated release format of choice for music changed over the centuries from travelling troubadours to music boxes, radio, rudimentary wax rolls & wax vinyl, 78 vinyl , 45 vinyl, 33 vinyl, cassettes, cd, dvd, mp3, flac, blueray… and probably I’m forgetting a few formats also.
So I’m trying to accept that the times of the compact disc are probably over soon, after 30 years. Makes sense, history-wise. But collecting-wise I’m with manilla and others that say the same. I don’t really care about mp3, i want something in my hands. I want to walk to a shop, or find a little present in my mailbox. Why don’t they release a f&*king awesome cool digital player, all Smashing Pumpkins artwork on it, to be connected to your stereo, pc or tv, and then every few months we (those who subscribed I mean) get a Smashing Pumpkins sticky in the mailbox with 2, 3, 4 new songs on it?

I think it’s not bad at all. The distorted guitar makes me long for the whole song.

ArthurSpectatorHehehe! That is Shawn Turner’s website, I bought this cd from him many years ago!
For a slightly lower price as the one on eBay though!
ArthurSpectatorI bought mine also from the original owner, not sealed though. She was in bad need for money at that time also (many years ago, more than 5 at least, but after 2000) and I paid 330 US$ if I remember well. That was via eBay. Another one was sold last year on eBay for 700-800 US$ if I remember well again, and the prices mentioned on SPfreaks are the EIL.com prices in this case. EIL.com had one for sale also a few years ago, and they asked 1,250 US$ for it. Maybe this helps, .drowned.?
PS I would NEVER sell it, to be honest… I also have the TAFH sales award, and together they are amongst the most precious, special Smashing Pumpkins items I have collected over the years… I feel for you, must be an extremely hard decision, considering you are still a fan!
ArthurSpectatorAh well, forget about that anyway. I have another cd with really Billy’s writing on it, and the \"W\" is written very different. Keep on dreaming…
Billy:
Not Billy:
ArthurSpectatorYup. 85, as we speak!
When will we reach 100? Member #100 will get the world-famous SPfreaks group-hug, right?
ArthurSpectatorIs it your copy on this picture Arthur http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=1172 ?
What is "Dawn" write on the front cover ???[/quote:7oroqovl]
Yeah that is my copy indeed! To be honest, I have no idea what "Dawn" means, sometimes I like to think it’s written by Billy Corgan, as it looks a bit like his writing… But that’s just a thought of course, I have no proof of it.
ArthurSpectatorIt is damaged though, this copy. The sleeve I mean. Or it comes with a paper sleeve in a different style, can’t judge it on the pics really… But my copy comes in a proper sturdy cardboard sleeve anyway.

ArthurSpectatorHey Shawn! Welcome! Good to see you around again!
I’m still game for this update, but what does mayonaise say (she handles the SPfreaks.com price guide)?
Mayo to thread! Mayo to thread!
ArthurSpectatorAnother sick sick sick Smashing Pumpkins vinyl rarity has appeared in the collection:
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=2868 (Siamese Dream promo vinyl Colombia)
ArthurSpectatorI am pretty pumped to see what the complete set looks like.[/quote:29x0ynpp]
I’m with you big times! Be assured, as soon as I have that package, you guys here are the first to see pics of it. But it might take a while for shipment, as I’m in Europe. Pics of the whole package send to US fans might appear elsewhere way sooner. Post them here then, please!
ArthurSpectatorWow Tion, awesome! What an idea, to put all the lyrics to paintings!
I love the Landslide painting from the ones shown here, but that is also because I can dream a landslide on that pic… And I just LOVE the Smashing Pumpkins cover also… Keep this going Tion, you are obviously very talented!

My Blue Heaven [5]OK, OK, I give it another try… I hate this game actually…
But my favourite Marquis In Spades is just too good to leave it unprotected in your innocent, unknowing hands…
ArthurSpectatorMy package with the 24 concerts should be on it’s way now I guess, since I read that around January 10th all concerts were released… Can’t wait! Please, do not ship Economy! (But they will ship Economy, I’m sure…)
ArthurSpectatorIt was good indeed! It’s called \"Steamboat\" (type of fondue) with a huge pan with boiling water where you throw in several types of fish snacks (lobster, shrimps, squid) and soja and veggies and I’m sure I forget tons of things… Then \"fish\" it back with a metal net-like spoon (last pic, on the left), pour some steamboat-water on top and there you go: steamboat.
Oh, funny detail: the sauce in the little square, white bowl is called… killer-chili! Amasians Crazians hot stuff that is!
ArthurSpectatorAnother G.L.O.W. cd single promo going for too much!
