that picture can be found on the US single, if i’m not mistaken. it’s on the other side of the front cover. so the front insert is probably turned over, resulting in this weird picture for this cd.
you can also find this picture on the inside of the 1979 single that is in the TAFH box. and according to the release code, this is exactly what they’re selling.http://www.ebay.com/itm/330741579225
Q: What number is this Machina 2?
A: It is not numbered. I do not see a number anywhere stating which number of 25 this is. I am not sure if there is supposed to be a number. The only things numbered are what I took photos of which are the album sequence. Thanks for your interest.[/quote:yq54klpx]
didn’t she say it was numbered the last time? (number 19.)she’s once again doing quite a bad job convincing people that this is real.
also, if this really was sold ten years ago at an auction for charity that q101 donated many items to, then billy’s a little late protesting against the sale. it already got sold ten years ago. do you think the new owner knows that this is supposed to be a promotional item and that billy still owns the rights? it’s not like the set has any information regarding copyright, being promotional, whatever.
i find billy’s reaction (phony pony, sp owns rights) quite pathetic, to be honest.
maybe he’s disappointed that a copy ended up on ebay, but this is not a good way to go about it.
and where was he the last time it was on ebay? was it all ok then? it’s the same copy and the same seller.ok, i’ve seen the inscription on the APC award now.
now the question is: is this ebay seller the same person that received this award (ebay username history mentions a mary)? or is her story about the auction, and getting this from her friend, all true? maybe this APC award was also bought at this Q101 auction.
in the case that this is the same mary, then the story changes though. this means she used to work at Q101 and took the machina II copy with her (allowed or not allowed). this would also mean that there never was an auction, etc. and that she made that whole thing up. now that would be a bit fishy… did she kind of steal it from Q101? is that why she pulled the plug on the auction back in 2005? was she afraid that it was going to get too much attention and that she would be found out?
or was her story true, and was she genuinely afraid that her friend or ex-friend who gave it to her, was going to find out about her selling it? and has that situation changed now?I must say though: this is a VERY used copy judging per the labels et al.
you can only play these acetates around 25 times before degradation hits big time!
so what are you buying then???[/quote:1b38kotr]
agreed.
even if you could acquire a brand new copy, would it be worth the thousands of dollars?
the only reason to buy this is to have it in your collection. not to listen to it. right?if the story of the seller from back in 2005 is true (q101 gave it away for a charity auction), then this copy already got sold before 2005. and the woman who owns it now has no obligation towards billy to never sell it.
take a look at what else they are selling. look close at it. im guessing this is the Q101 copy.[/quote:36mdzrd7]
i now know for sure that this is the Q101 copy, but for another reason than you. (i still don’t understand how you concluded this.)my reason:
it’s the same seller as back in august 2005: http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI…unipertreeblue
i remember the seller was called selling4supper back then.i can’t remember if she ever properly proved that this was a real copy, but her story was that her friend or boyfriend gave it to her, after buying it at a silent auction for about $400. it’s the q101 copy. i think she said it was numbered 19/25, but we haven’t seen any pictures of that.
i also think this is real.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330741579225i mean, i can’t know for sure, as i’ve never seen detailed pictures of the real thing. but i remember reading that the sleeves were taped, and you can see that happen in one of the pictures.
also, if billy says it’s \"too good to be true\", this means he can’t see anything wrong with it. so it could very well be real. maybe he just can’t believe someone is selling it. as a conclusion, he bets it’s fake.take a look at what else they are selling. look close at it. im guessing this is the Q101 copy.[/quote:31z5xpqc]
why?i think he means the machina stickers were separate.[/quote:1l7khc7e]
that’s also what i understood.so not only did he buy a daphne descends promo for 9 euro, including shipping; he also got some free machina stickers on top of it.
that sounds like a decent deal to me.
Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis_(band)
Album titles: Celestials, Oceanic, Panopticon.
And there’s a pic of an Isis in the Oceania album cover art.
Coincidence?[/quote:199kzrb4]
wow.where do you see this "isis" on the cover though?
30 second samples of all songs were also available on amazon.com.
i don’t know. some clips sound ok, others not really. it could be a good album.
I have listened to the snippets on Amazon, but… [/quote:3cu7bata]
They seems to be down already.[/quote:3cu7bata]

oh… the sticker is in a perfect condition!!! the booklets too… what a beautifull first edition in a really perfect/mint condition!!!!
what a lucky man…[/quote:2b3u9huy]
how is it numbered? as far as i know, these are normally not numbered, no?Everyone’s pre-ordered the stuff they want, right?
http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/store/spoceania/[/quote:1ti092wk]
obviously not. they’re charging almost $50 to send the lp to europe.
i’m sure i’ll be able to find a copy in the shops here.
and i don’t really care when i get it. so what’s the point in pre-ordering?you’re welcome.
here’s a better rip:

[/quote:2zt5m63t]
loli have no idea. i guess not, but who knows what they check, and what they don’t check.
more bad news: i believe you had to apply for the flexi before the first of may.
i can’t remember where i got the link to apply, and i can’t find it anymore. so i can’t check if it’s still working, or if they already took it down.looks like i’m also getting a copy of this for free, even though i didn’t pre-order anything.
i just tried to apply for the flexi with an order number i had from buying one of the digital downloads, and it worked. it’s in the mail now.
so paying for digital downloads instead of downloading them for free from somewhere else is now finally worth it.
