well, first they will ask him (?) if this mixup is really a mistake.
(i wasn’t able to convince them entirely. not that they denied it, or acted as if i was wrong. but they left the option open that the book with the information about the three bonus cds and dvd is supposed to be in the vinyl box set. which is fair enough.)i can only assume the emi representative is going to be honest and confirm that it’s a mistake. that it’s the wrong book.
(if he’s lazy, he might lie and say that it’s supposed to be there. you know, to avoid any extra effort on this issue. i hope this doesn’t happen or i will get very angry.)and then they should find a way to correct it. either replace all vinyl box sets they still have in store, and the ones that might be returned. or just replace the book.
if i understand it correctly, jeroen, who had the wrong book in his cd+dvd box set, already got his book replaced. but i don’t know the details about this.
there’s a small chance they’ll give me the correct book, while i get to keep the \"incorrect\" book. in that case, i’ll have a spare cd+dvd book, which i can use to mess around with. (read: try to get the sticker off and see what’s underneath that needed correcting.) fingers crossed.
well, arthur, i went ahead and ordered one copy from this austrian website. shipping was only 3 euro. (i didn’t see any deals for free shipping.)
today i’m the proud owner of the EU deluxe edition of the mcis reissue.
and that for only 23 euro. that’s even cheaper than the 25 euro i spent on the US vinyl set.[/quote:msocgfil]
I might order a box there also then, to have both the US and the EU version.[/quote:msocgfil]
arthur, did you order a box set there? did you receive it?i ordered another one, ’cause 23 euro is very good value. but today i received an email that i got a refund, because the item was "no longer available". oh well.
maybe they realised they made a mistake.
their reason is a lie though: it is now available on their website for 199 euro.i see.
is this the right conclusion (so far)?
cd+dvd box US: always the correct book
vinyl box US: always the correct book
cd+dvd box EU: sometimes the wrong book, sometimes the correct book
vinyl box EU: always the wrong booki 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.My vinyl arrived today with the correct book.

where did you buy it?
or, in other words, did you buy the EU or the US vinyl set?i have no more incomplete sets. (just your complete set.)
two cds were sold to geo, the other one i sold earlier, but i can’t remember who i sold it to.got this delabel promo tape:

appears to contain what’s on the tin: a press conference, given on 20 october 1993. i guess it happened in hollywood, from one of billy’s answers.
journalists from all over the world are present and ask questions (including journalists from finland, australia and brazil, for example).
billy does most of the talking. james says a little something here and there. not sure (yet) if d’arcy or jimmy are there. (still listening.)i did some quick googling, but couldn’t find any references to this press conference.
i was really surprised nobody else bid on it. (i thought you would have been all over this, manilla.)
can’t read that language. assume you are making jokes, which are probably funny. but have no clue.[/quote:1197dsdm]
i’m sorry about that.let me try to make it up to you, and provide some translations:
Gert-Jan’s Summer Clogs Fair – Festive Fifth Edition
Albert Heijn’s Mill Festival ( is a Dutch supermarket chain)
Kees’ and Joop’s 40th Birthday BBQ (Kees and Joop are very Dutch names)
Bingo night at nursing home Evening Rest, Breda (nothing typical Dutch about this, except the location, Breda, which is in the Netherlands, somewhere)http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=1641 (FR Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness promo 2CD)[/quote:384cwk4m]
is the track order really different (in the arms of sleep between stumbleine and xyu)? or is the tracklist incorrect?http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=1057 (UK Adore interview promo CDR – contains extra track!)[/quote:a1r8h5yf]
oh no! now i’m really annoyed about forgetting about that auction.
