Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorDammit! I missed the announcement of the Lost Highway reissue. Only found out about it last week, when I received the email from Music On Vinyl’s mailinglist.
I don’t think I’ll be able to find the version on yellow vinyl anymore.
I can imagine it must’ve been quite hard to find a copy, even if you were one of the first to hear about it.2016.08.07 at 11:20 am in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? (cont.) #8564770
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatori find it hard to believe they’d have 50 drum heads to sell, for example.
however: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e56f8f_d86aced4607e48d0b2a50679f11f6212.jpeg
apparently one out of one hundred… (but did they ever make and sell 100, or did they stop earlier?)2016.08.05 at 11:32 am in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? (cont.) #8564741
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorwow.
was that from the sp.com webstore? i seem to vaguely remember these.2016.04.12 at 11:04 am in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? (cont.) #8529730
Cool As Ice CreamSpectator^ whoa!

Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorooh, what does this look like? “Disarm Warner music benelux archive copy”
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatormy open copy with corrected barcode on the sticker also has the extra CAR-xxx in the matrix code.the label on side D is white though, not black or red.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatori’ve checked my own copies.
my first copy says “printed in the USA”.
the two later copies are still sealed, and don’t have the “printed in the USA”…
funny. i’ve never noticed this difference before. the rest looks identical. (sticker with release code on the front, release code on spine, etc.)all three copies have the sticker with the new barcode on the back.
however, on one of the two sealed copies, the font used on the barcode sticker is different than the font on the other two. weird! it’s the same barcode though.i also want to add that “printed in the USA” probably only refers to the sleeve, and not necessarily to where the records were pressed. we should keep that in mind.
if i’m not mistaken, there’s another SP album that always says “printed in Canada” (was it pisces iscariot? i remember some inner sleeve mentioning canada), even though it was (probably?) pressed in the US.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorcool beans
still need to check my own copies
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorweird.
i don’t think i’ve seen a copy without “printed in the usa”. (but i’ll double check my copies later. who knows?)
maybe they later repressed the adore vinyl, and left out the “printed in the usa”? but then why still use a sticker on the barcode? if you’re changing things on the sleeve, you might as well correct the barcode at the same time, no?
very weird. is there a scan of this adore lp without “printed in the usa”? what else do we know about this copy? where was it sold?

Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorAbout that Adore test pressing:
I assume it’s not this one?
http://spfreaks.com/item/adore-14/Does it look similar to this cd?

Cool As Ice CreamSpectatornice one, pcorgan!
did you get the US machina II eps, or the UK ones?
do you already own cr-04 (“the album”)?
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatori’m sad to hear things are shit for you, manilla.
i hope 2016 brings great improvement. best wishes for the next year!
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorI’m not Arthur. 🙁
I’m doing fine, though. Thank you.

Cool As Ice CreamSpectatoris that a cd or a record?
i guess it’s a cd, but it looks like it could be a record too.2015.09.15 at 12:59 pm in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? (cont.) #8520436
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatori agree. the autograph looks very jimmy chamberlin to me too. with the little face (or what is it?) in the “j”. not very neat, but who knows in what condition the autograph was placed on the relatively small vip pass?
check out this picture for another jimmy chamberlin autograph, that actually looks quite similar: http://i60.tinypic.com/vym5pg.jpg
this one also has more autograph between the “j” and the “c”. later autographs – machina or zwan, for example – seem to be a bit shorter.we can’t be sure about the heart, but like i said, my guess would be billy corgan. because why would someone else sign a vip pass with the sp heart? it kind of has to be him.
also, the “s” in the sp heart looks very billy corgan to me. it’s a typical billy “s”.2015.09.14 at 4:16 pm in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? (cont.) #8520414
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorlooks like jimmy’s sig to me, but it seems to have an extra letter in the middle? it does have the typical J and C, so i don’t think it could be james. his signature looks different.
i would guess that the heart was done by billy.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorNo, not that one. It was at the Toronto VIP, on the 4th of August. This youtube video is from the 5th.
And theoretically, that’s true. Maybe Belly was lying at first. But it is extremely unlikely that Monty was telling the truth. That’s just not in his character.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorhmmm… that’s a good point.
i find it unlikely, but it’s not impossible that he made that up; that he never asked bc about the matrix codes.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectator“it is out in the open. monte had notified the band before you had emailed them. that’s how we know billy is offended and more than likely hurt by this.”
so it was monty who lied to us about this? make us believe that bc was offended, and as a result definitely not the one behind this?
but why?
is he really that manipulative?
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatoryeah, that is odd. could be intentional. who knows.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatoroh, don’t worry, i won’t forget. 🙂
i still remember finding out while typing an email to you. i didn’t bother retyping it, so you can see it happening. heh.these are from 8 february 2012.
me, 6pm:
siamese dream vinyl.scans labels: see attachments.
matrix codes:
5099967929016 Siamese Dream Disc 1 Side 1 A+R Dallas SPGII S-27899 RE-2 6.21.3.11 25.15.21
5099967928910 Siamese Dream Disc 1 Side 2 S-27900 RE-2 19.21.3.11 13.25 4.9.3.11
5099967929016 Siamese Dream Disc 2 Side 1 A+R Dallas SPGII S-27901 RE-2 12.9.3.11 13.25 16.21.19.19.25
5099967929115 SIAMESE DREAM DISC 2-SIDE 2-Re1 S-27902 RE-3 2.3.5 12.15.22.5 25.15.21weird matrix codes. not very consistent. but this is what’s on the records.
you, 8pm:
Cool, thanks. Those matrix codes are indeed very strange…???me, 9pm:
especially those numbers at the end. they’re not on the gish vinyl.i was wondering if they were maybe some code. as no number is higher than 26, maybe each letter stands for a letter in the alphabet. (1=a, 2=b, 3=c, …, 26=z)
for disc 1 side 1, “6.21.3.11 25.15.21” would stand for “fuck you”. hmmm… this can’t be a coincidence. let’s check the other ones.oh gee. i think i’ve cracked the code. i wonder who’s behind this.
the other ones are: “suck my dick”, “lick my pussy”, and “bce love you”.
this probably means that the last one should start with 23.5 instead of 2.3.5, so the result would be “we love you”. but i’ve double checked, and it definitely says 2.3.5. oh well.i don’t know what to think of this. “lol”?
would every copy of siamese dream on vinyl have the same codes?
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatoraha, i see. thank you for the answers.
i stopped looking after the disappointment of finding and losing one. maybe i should pick it up again.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorsorry for bumping this ancient thread, but i believe we have an update.
someone went to the VIP thing before the show at toronto yesterday (4 august 2015), and asked billy about these coded messages.
this is what he came back with:
the matrix codes were intentional… it was Billy’s idea… he thought it’d be fun to see if anyone would ever figure it out…. he said he was surprised when he realized people found about it within the first few months….(link: http://forums.netphoria.org/showpost.php?p=4209305&postcount=29)
maybe a video of the q&a will pop up later. i’ve seen that a couple of the previous vip things are on youtube.
why didn’t bc talk about these when we were wondering back in 2012?
oh well, at least the mystery is solved now. i’m happy about that.
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorHello. Welcome to the site and its forum.
I don’t have any t-shirts, but good luck with tracking them down.
The shirt in your pictures, is that an official shirt, or could it be bootlegged/fake/unofficial?
It looks official, with the dates on the back, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this version.
I only remember all black t-shirts, with the same picture and dates. (Here: http://spfreaks.com/item/adore-85/)
Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorsorry, my mistake. i saw part of this tour t-shirt in the corner of a picture, and thought it was the i am one t-shirt. but it isn’t.
