I don’t want to spoil the fun here…
But eBay member tristan_hall46 buys a BMW Sunshade from eBay member joannbrown424, and tristan_hall46 appears as a***h (34) in the Bid History of that BMW Sunshade. Then tristan_hall46 obviously also appears as a***h (34) in the Bid History of the Moon tape.
To me it is quite obvious that you knew beforehand that tristan_hall46 was the winner of the Moon tape, and not because of the reply of joannbrown424.
Nevertheless, because I know a lot more background on this story than what is shown here; I’m quite sure you are right about the scam that is going on here.
what other cd-rs with the alternate mixes do you own? and are there any other releases known with the alternate mixes?[/quote:llkjysc4]
I own these 2:http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=184
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=3778 (my mistake, this one is from the US)
And so far these 2 are the only 2 versions of the Machina promo with the alt. mixes that we know of (until your discovery of the French promo containing these alt mixes, that is). But none of them got leaked, so there is at least 1 other copy. I’ll give the French promo a listen too, indeed.
I really want a Machina promo with those alternate mixes on. I you coms across one can you give me a heads up? It would be much appreciated[/quote:aw0zro7s]
I would love to help you with this, really! But they are super duper rare… In 13 years after they were made I only saw 2 copies of UK promos with these alt. mixes pass along. I happen to have bought them both. There are however at least 1 or 2 other copies out there (because someone has leaked these alt. mixes), but I don’t know who has them.Now it seems that the French Machina promo also contains these alt. mixes, but that promo happens to be super rare too. I have only seen 2 copies so far (maybe there is a 3rd copy out there also, I vaguely remember), and 1 is owned by me, the other by Cool. So don’t expect miracles about this one, my friend…
Even though it has been revealed to be a fake and a bootleg, I’ve wanted one of the Siamese wooden boxes for over a decade. I had an opportunity to score one and I thought it about time. So a few days ago, I did.

If it was the one from eBay that went for almost $75 (I think it was a #300 range?), then you made a perfect deal! I paid quite a few bucks more for my #19, but it came with the original box also.Just curious kylie, does it have the red Made in Holland CD or the silver US CD?

Congrats, Bram! Is it exactly the same French promo, the one that you just bought on eBay, and that we have on SPfreaks already? If so, i would be the owner of another source of those alt. mixes… The scans of that French Machina promo are from my copy!
2 official Malaysian promo compilations with SP songs and 5 Indonesian bootlegs of SP albums (I didn’t feel OK doing that, but we don’t have that type of stuff online yet, so I thought I should buy a few when I was over there anyway, for a holiday).
I try to collect all the promo shots like this and other old photos from back in the day. I got this photo from ebay as well about six months ago. Before that I hadn’t seen it.[/quote:1hp1jw7u]
Hi kylie, is yours exactly the same, I mean with all the Caroline text around the pic? This pic is probably a generic promo pic from that era, and not only related to the gig this seller is mentioning.deserves a frame. nice one![/quote:2mxiayn5]
Will happen, I told that the seller too lol!I have never seen this (iconic) pic of Smashing Pumpkins before, maybe someone else here did?
The most beautiful 5 dollar item I ever won on eBay.
From South Africa: Pisces Iscariot, Mellon Collie & Machina.[/quote:3q3hww0x]
wow!
[/quote:3q3hww0x]
That’s exactly what my bank account said when I paid that batch, they were not that cheap…
Still Gish to find though.
From The Netherlands: compilation cd with Disarm.
From South Africa: Pisces Iscariot, Mellon Collie & Machina.I am also curious what is there to find behind the sticker. More secret reissue messages, again not initiated by Billy Corgan?
Right. It’s sealed, so I am not going to check any further. But my heart skipped a beat or two finding this thing. I am after the other Japanese reissue deluxe boxes too, but I stopped hunting during my holiday period till March 4th. We are not at home anyway, so I cannot receive or pick up packages bigger than mailbox opening size.
No I did not order it, and as it looks now, reading your story, I am too late…
Ah well, I still got that Japanese promo copy, cannot complain, right?
i went to a shop yesterday, and we opened two vinyl box sets and one cd+dvd box (felt like christmas
), and they all contained the cd+dvd box book. they will bring the issue to the attention of an emi representative that is visiting them on wednesday.[/quote:17sq5w54]
Good move. Now let’s see what comes of it.
[/quote:lpz8mjn2]absolutely LOVE how the background images show that ‘moment’ in the video, really well done![/quote:lpz8mjn2]
After I have overcome my jealousy, I fully agree. This frame really does justice to the guitar. A collectors’ piece to be really proud of. Well done, Geo, you’ve got taste.wow, that must’ve cost a fortune.[/quote:2ecupeqm]
Yes, and no. I was kinda happy with the price. It was 60% of what EIL asks for a commercially available MCIS deluxe box.My latest purchase from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Note the promo sticker on the back, down right. It’s an EU import, btw.
That framed guitar looks amazing![/quote:2wolprvz]
[extremely jealous tone]Naah, it’s ok. It would not fit in my collection.[\\extremely jealous tone]
