that must be quite an old list. rspaa is still on it, but they haven’t been around for a long time now.[/quote:1m0h6d80]
You’re right, in fact they are into other business now (NSFW).
Because someone was sick, I get a free ticket to see Jeff Beck. Not bad at all, I was suprised. He, and his band, really rocks!

Good one, Debby! Still working well these days, this type of artwork, if you ask me.
Which reminds me I wanted to post mine also. It’s a pic I made at Bonaire, which I’m using as my desktop now. Note how I renamed \"My Computer\" and \"Recycle Bin\"…
Someone’s paid more than $593 for a SP cassette??? I can understand vinyl going for a lot more, but a CASSETTE?[/quote:2b5dxia1]
This cassette alone, is worth triple that price. Easily! It contains the Smashing Pumpkins song I Fall in a recording of December 1987. I heard rumours that even Billy Corgan himself wants it back, badly.Funny thing is, we even get to know from Amazon what songs to expect. Only songs 2 and 4 have been released so far…

what’s left of the oath
what’s right to the owners
memories…
your tongue in my nose
on the trainstation
platform 8
your 1 week of being doubtful
that alienated feeling
cloud nine, ground zero
my spaceship in search of a Neobloody hell, it was quiet
when we silently sucked the air and breathed… love!
breathed… love!
breathed… love!have mercy on us
we could have survived
the tears of pain on
the electric chair, the pills for
the cat that died in vain with Xmasbut it wasn’t meant to be
perfect sex is just a temporary glue
and 5 years is no lifetime, my pretty girl
you’re probably lost
riding on an incomplete horse
that is not allowing you to be you
a morbid dreamhorse, sufficiently flying
in the dark corners
of your brain, a farm of flames
a kingdom of queensI couldn’t kill the horse
I was no safe haven
I was 1 of the demons in the bloody story’s end
and you stayed, but left the book
and I left, but stayed in chapter 3
I humbly bowed my head to the powersand instead, I’ll have another dragon tattoo
a forever sign of my quest
to become a better me
a better me
a better meI’m so sorry…
god speed, lost love of my lifehow come It took almost 20 years for one of these to be listed on ebay![/quote:bb0aev8s]
We know the Israeli promos already for a few years now, but you are absolutely right, it took very long. My Israeli source told me the reason for the late entry on the market, but to be honest, I can’t remember it exactly anymore. I think it had either to do with eBay not being available in Israel for many years, or internet as a whole only being available in Israel since a few years only.Next to that, I did a little research back then, when we get to know the Israel promos for the first time. And it turned out that all promo cds for any band from that country look the same, sticker-wise. For me that is a second "proof" that they are genuine. Think of this: why create such promos on grand scale, if the risk of being catched is multiplied by the number of bands that are being counterfeited?
Here’s an example from another band, a very recent release of Muse:
I think this is a non-issue, really. I’m absolutely sure they are genuine, based on the source where I bought like 80% of my Israeli promos from. For fun, and for historical/completist reasons I collect them. If for whatever reason someone doesn’t like them, or don’t want to collect them, fine with me anytime. I’m not pushing them through anyone’s throat. I do file them seperately in the collection, for the moment under the genuine releases. All HUT stickers can be made manually also. Still they are not flooding the market, nor do the Israeli stickers.

Me likes. It poetically flows.
i still want to have it anyway for completeness, because for me personally Corgan’s music as a whole (SP and non-SP) is important to me. even if i might not like a song or two here or there i don’t want to be missing a whole era of his creative output because i still put stock in all of it as a whole. i don’t care if i have rare assed promos for everything, but i like what i have collected. i like it for the fact that its Corgan/ SP; i like the music (mostly); i like the art; and it strikes a chord with me as a whole.[/quote:twm4o7q8]
99% of my thoughts too on the subject. Thanks for putting it like this! Only, I limit my collection to songs-on-cds ONLY. And just for fun, I collect the promos and compilations and country releases and acetates/test pressings and whatever. Just because I´m a mad music collector.
The very few songs that were cassette-only or vinyl-only, I found them on MP3. No way I have the urge to complete my collection with every original cassette or original vinyl they released… So I could complete my collection of every song that Smashing Pumpkins made, anyway. Together with the live shows that I collected, I´m pretty sure I have a huge part of the Smashing Pumpkins legacy! And enjoying the music still, almost on a daily basis…
Someday this alternate version of Teardgarden EP01 vinyl-only, previously unreleased, song will appear somewhere I´m sure. I´ll grab the MP3 then, and I refuse to pay the higher price for the gold obelisk EP version. If the price is, like, normal, which is no more than 25-30 bucks, then I might be tempted enough to buy the physical release. We´ll see. Just my humble 2 cents…
Either Billy has lost it, or this is a hoax. How can you take someone seriously when he states…
