    I have this (as well as That’s the Way). They looked so generic and sketchy, I thought they were just made by someone to make some money. I didn’t spend a whole lot on them.

    Do you think these are real?[/quote:3kdhrhbn]
    I also have my doubts.

    I noticed both promos have typos. The Tarantula promo says "Chamberlain" instead of "Chamberlin" and the That’s the Way promo says "Smashing Pumkins" instead of "Smashing Pumpkins". But this doesn’t prove anything. Anyone can make these mistakes: a bootlegger, or someone at Warner Sweden (or wherever these promos are supposed to be made).

    On the other hand, if you compare these promos to the Australian promos (with inserts that don’t fit nicely in the cd case), I think they’re on a similar level of crappiness. But as far as I know, nobody doubts the Australian promos are genuine. (Or am I wrong about that?)

    I gave priority to uploading new items in the Collection.[/quote:hqu09pip]
    Good decision. I agree with it. :wink:

    I just thought about another recording: Cash Car Star was shown on tv.

    Then I checked splra.org and they have an FM>DAT recording listed of Today and the interview. That must be someone who taped that radio show you just bought, Arthur.
    This recording is listed as \"unsurfaced\" though, which means they know it exists, but it’s not available online.

    Today I’m starting the day with the TAFH box. Now playing: the BWBW single, Clones (We’re All)

    Lots of sweetness to come… 8)

    in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? #6681

    omg, arthur! :shock: that is an awesome find.

    are you planning to share the interview and today with the rest of us? i’d love to hear those.
    i believe you are correct: soundboard recordings of money (that’s what i want) and x.y.u. were included on the faeomm tape. besides that i think only (two?) audience recordings of that show are available.

    in reply to: If all goes wrong poster #30386

    yeah, i just checked. my poster advertises the dvd release on november 11th.
    the artwork/background is the same, but there are a lot of differences in the text, and its position. and there’s no black border.

    in reply to: Zwan vinyl album on eBay #30393

    It’s not worth 40 euros.

    in reply to: If all goes wrong poster #30385

    i got if from someone who went to a show on the 20th anniversary tour. apparently they were handing out these posters.

    i think it comes without the black border around the artwork.

    in reply to: If all goes wrong poster #30382

    You assume that they made only one poster per venue that showed the documentary on November 25.
    I wouldn’t do that.

    Also, I might be wrong, but I’d guess that the posters in the UK aren’t identical to the ones used in Germany.

    And I have a poster for If All Goes Wrong from the US. But I don’t think it’s advertising the screenings. I think it’s just an ad for the dvd release. But it looks the same.
    I’ll check it later.

    pixies – at the bbc

    in reply to: My Collection: Update Thread #28987

    My FutureEmbrace EP contains four songs:
    – Mina Loy (M.O.H.)
    – A100
    – Walking Shade
    – Now (And Then)

    Matrix Number: WB-BILLYCORGAN-REP 2091240077

    (i’ll send you scans from the cd / back-insert)[/quote:2j7ycwkp]
    Confirmed. The US "TheFutureEmbrace ep" has this tracklist (in this order – the UK sampler has a different track order) and matrix code.

    in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? #6611

    i bought a glow for £40 on eil.com. :)

    a bit expensive, but seeing for how much they’re still going these days, it’s not too bad.

    in reply to: Latest interview about the 20th Anniversary Tour #29708

    sounds like she perfectly memorized some bolly rants. she’s a good student.

    in reply to: 20th Anniversary Live Show CDs #24922

    Still a bit too expensive. And they’re just cd-rs. So right now, it’s still a no. Maybe another day. I have the flacs of every show anyway.

    in reply to: 20th Anniversary Live Show CDs #24920

    The value of the dollar is decreasing again. It becomes more interesting to buy the cds. I think they cost about 12.5 euro per show right now.

    in reply to: What is the latest Pumpkins related item you bought? #6608

    Why two copies?[/quote:3sn7azx4]

    in reply to: About vinyls releases…. #29521

    It contains all the genuine vinyl releases of the Smashing Pumpkins we know of[/quote:rsjx588e]
    correction: almost all.

    the adore vinyl doesn’t come with any booklet or lyrics.

    in reply to: Cherub Rock WLP #29435

    \"The Wild Flowers\" maybe?

    They exist(ed?): http://www.last.fm/music/The+Wild+Flowers

    in reply to: Cherub Rock WLP #29433

    I’m not sure about \"Howlers\" either. Looks more like \"Howers\", but that’s not really a word.

    Do you have the original picture of that label?

    in reply to: Cherub Rock WLP #29431

    \"The Wild Howlers\" is what I read.

    in reply to: Cherub Rock WLP #29427

    Now that you mention it! I noticed mirrored text, hardly readable, on two of the labels. I wondered what that was. It all makes sense now.

    So the \"pink\" white label promo labels are probably red labels, used upside down, right? What do you think?

    in reply to: Cherub Rock WLP #29425

    My Gish/Siamese Dream 12\" WLPs:

    4 x Peel Sessions, in black Hut sleeve:
    Side A: HUTT-17-A1 white label
    Side B: HUTT-17-B1 white label
    (One comes with artwork proof.)

    1 x I Am One, in black Hut sleeve:
    Side A: HUTT18-A1 pink label
    Side B: HUTT18-B1 pink label

    3 x Cherub Rock, in black Hut sleeve:
    Side A: HUTT 31 A1 JA CLAIRE white label
    Side B: HUTT 31 B1 white label
    (Note: The \"jA claire\" is also present on the commercial release.)

    1 x Today, in blue Hut sleeve:
    Side A: HUTT 37 A1 pink label
    Side B: HUTT 37 B1 pink label

    1 x Disarm, in blue Hut sleeve:
    Side A: HUTT 43 A-1-1-1 TOWNHOUSE DMM white label
    Side B: HUTT 43 B-1-1-1 TOWNHOUSE DMM white label
    (\"HUTT 43 A/B-1-1-1\" is done by a machine. All the rest, also on the above promos, has been done by hand.)

    Some of the white labels might be a bit blueish, but none looked convincing blue to me tonight, so I put white everywhere. Might recheck that later, especially if everyone else has blueish labels.
