Would you be willing to show pictures of the tape itself also, that’d be great to see.

Correct answer, A.
I try to up something once a week, so always check on Fridays in case there’s something of interest.[/quote:13o51dph]
You mean on Zomb, right, Dazey?Was that cardsleeve made as an exact copy of the original? To be honest, I would have been fooled if there wasn’t the year 2008 on the disc…
Looks a bit like a homemade product, doesn’t it?
haha, cruel.[/quote:31b1zoo5]
I created seperate entries for the yellow and red bootleg vinyls.

His answer just came in.
\"i dont no which country it was pressed in,it is not an official release,but it is a superb addition and they gain value.\"
Gain value? Yeah right. At least we know the truth now. I reported this seller to eBay.
Oh, and I suggest you check out his shop and some recent auctions in his feedback. Quite a few blue, yellow, green, red and clear vinyls of famous bands and albums. Makes you think, right?
My guts feeling says: he knows nothing, probably telling what he heard from others (most likely his supplier). When I judge his appearance on eBay:
-member since June 6th, 2003 in United Kingdom
-feedback since 2003: 16 with 1 very recent negative (actually today: \"Very disappointed, Disc advertised as mint, but it is scuffed and scratched!\"), total score 94.4% positive
-changed his nick less than a month agoThen all in all I’m not impressed. To say the least. Curious about his next answer though.
Thanks Dazey! Downin’ as we speak. We’ll use the artwork scans for the SPfreaks Collection, I’m sure you don’t mind, right? Haha don’t answer, I know your reply already. \"Mine is ours\".
if i get one of these, i can make the belgian flag with mcis vinyl bootlegs…
[/quote:1if90b8p]
You just gave us a clue where they are pressed. I asked the seller what he knows about the background of this MCIS red vinyl. This is his answer.
"hi this is the second repress of the original LP the first was yellow vinyl this is red around 200 copies printed.the original with number sells for mega bucks."
So I asked him (again) if this is a bootleg or not, whether and where it was pressed by Virgin/HUT, etc. Keep you posted.

(couldn’t help highligting that Pink Floyd part a bit myself… badly want to hear that!)
This is probably a good place to copy my essay for that SP media job application a little while back.
\"To you, the Smashing Pumpkins fans.
Who are you, tormented souls? What are you, rockinâ crybabies? Where are you, Pumpkins fans? Tell me, and I will tell you my story in the meantime.
1994-1995. To be honest, I donât remember the first contact with the Smashing Pumpkins anymore. But Iâm pretty sure it was via this local Radio Station called VPRO that I first heard about them. Later on, the 1995-12-12 Melkweg Amsterdam gig was broadcast live on radio. Wow. I taped it, and I still play that tape sometimes. Sure, I was kinda late discovering this American band, but what can you expect, good things sometimes arrive a bit late in Europe. OK, they played Europe since the early Nineties, but somehow I missed that completely. Shame on me! But I bought the first CD albums in 1995, which turned out to be my all time favourites. Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream. There is no album like Siamese Dream, not any band has ever created such a masterpiece that is so much in my blood. Soma will be played on my funeral, and Mayonaise is giving me the shivers on my spine every time I hear it.
1996. Yeah. The year of the Pumpkin. Well, my personal year of the Pumpkin anyway. Many more amazing Pumpkins singles and albums found their way to my house and to my CD player. Pisces Iscariot, Zero, Gish⦠And at the end of the year I was so hooked I even called some friends when the Thirty-Three single came out, to let them listen to The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right) track. It blew me away! And no doubt I went to Ahoy Rotterdam to see them. Of course I had heard that some concerts were absolutely amazing, and some were spoiled because of the mood swings of this singer Billy Corgan. Drugs. Death. Troubles with band members. Still touring. Who is this crazy guy with his band anyway? I want to be there.
1997. More singles, more rarities, more friends and even my lover at that time, all into the Pumpkins. What connects us? Music of course. But what is it in this music? Rock, grunge, eclectic, epic and electronic sounds, almost from a different planet? That journey into the deepest holes of onesâ heart and onesâ mind? What connects us to a certain band? Billy Corgan is no god, he is no teacher, he is no ruler of the world. Still he is writing and performing in a way that makes me know he knows it also. He knows the suffering, the long search for love and a caring family and the insecure moments of a tormented soul. He knows the struggle, the wisdom and the painful moments. And he knows how to find a way to express life in its many forms and shapes. What a great escape, what a great way to spend my listening hours!
1998. Adore. Ava Adore. Tear. Pug. Shock. Beautiful, but different. I love that album, but the band moved onwards to areas I had harder times to follow. I know, Iâm a rock guy most of the times. But the album grew on me quickly. Pinkpop Festival, weird performance, but cool anyway. And my collection of Pumpkins music was still rapidly growing. Japanese singles and albums with rare bonus tracks, occasionally a South American release, mostly found in shops or on record fairs I attended. Being a collector sweetly sucks, and is costly sometimes. I miss Jimmy Chamberlin.
1999. A rather quiet year, after Jimmyâs return to the band. Not much more pops up to tell you about. Sorry for that.
2000. Of course I was the first to buy Machina. The promise of the return to the rocking roots of the Smashing Pumpkins was tempting enough to buy the album. However, the listening experience turned out to be a disappointment. Urgh! Why is Siamese Dream always the album to compare? Why are Slunk and Marquis In Spades the ultimate b-sides? I have no idea, but it wasnât that shocking after all to hear about the bandâs break up. No, I didnât go to the farewell concerts in Chicago. I know I should have gone though⦠But in my parallel universe it was enough to keep on collecting the whole Pumpkins music history. So I did. Machina II, what a great way to say goodbye. Respect to you, Billy.
2001-2008. Too much to tell, too little space to do it. Next time, promise!
So, since 1994 this deep love for the Smashing Pumpkins and their music never left me. Did I really mention love here? But is it really love, or is it admiration, or feeling like being soul mates of the band members? Is Billy Corgan writing and singing what I wanted to say, if I was able to put it to words like him? Yeah, here is a big clue I guess. What is your clue, Smashing Pumpkins fan out there? What is your world, what is your mystery, and what is your Pumpkins story? Tell me please, Iâm very curious.\"
Great topic, Dazey! Keep ’em coming like this!
One of the best recent rumours I remember was about the first concert the Smashing Pumpkins were supposed to play.
\"Smashing Pumpkins’ return is looking more and more likely, with this year’s Coachella Festival rumoured as their comeback gig.\"
\"Today, the NME have issued a report which puts the 90’s alt rock act as rumoured headline act for Coachella 2006.\"
Yeah funny interview that was. Few more buys I did last week.
