yeah, cool is just being a douche.[/quote:1fv49pbx]
haha, yes. i was just taking the piss.snorry!
[/quote:1fv49pbx]it’s okay. just wanted everyone to know you’re poking fun.
If anyone has a 33 UK cassette handy to scan and submit that would be good, not on site yet.[/quote:1phyhw5e]
is there one? i only have US and NZ
yeah, cool is just being a douche.
anyway, here is the listing – added today (no pun intended):
Just won an EMI promo CD from Chile called ‘Prioritarios’ with the Smashing Pumpkins track Stand Inside Your Love. So far we only know Chile from releasing the Zwan album, and Zeitgeist. Quite rare, such Machina-era promo from Chile, I think.
[/quote:mtxkn3pj]don’t forget about thefutureembrace. there is a chilean version of that as well.
you guys are why we are here! symbiotic relationship
so glad to help! (thanks to cool for being more specific)
the german original lp on caroline? i’d definitely get some pics to prove what \"sealed\" means, because i’ve never heard of a sealed one. not to say it doesn’t exist!
if it’s the UK, i guess same story. i haven’t priced gish vinyl in a long time, but i’d say you’re overshooting it just a bit.
$50 seems reasonable (also too high) to me.
Hi,
just went trawling through my collection to confirm the Today Cassette I owned was the Australian slipcase release with the clear tape with blue printing; but no it is a New Zealand release not yet on this site! It comes in plastic case with j card. Same cover art and barcode as UK Release. The tape is has the swirly logo that is unique to NZ cassette releases. I am a little pushed for time over the next few days but will have images up soon.
These NZ cassettes are hard to find, even if you live here like I do.
[/quote:1txtlsu5]indeed they are. awesome find!
Just bought

Looks like we’re both out of luck(no music shops,allegedly?).
[/quote:2va8kuaj]all good, thanks for looking!
1979 AU cassette
[/quote:2rhz2vt0]
Sure it’s not the New Zealand release?[/quote:2rhz2vt0]completely sure. blue print on transparent cassette in slipcase
I won the Siva 12" off eBay, autographed by the entire band (original band, D’arcy included).
And got a solid price on it too!!![/quote:3cxqhqpr]
awesome!
good job everyone!
should have asked me, jesus. i have an extra one and have seen a few (many) in 10 years.
Just also acquired a US Virgin adore promo cassette. Things are getting busy on the collecting front for me again.[/quote:7klsajwn]
good to see someone keeping the spirit alive! congrats.
+, thanks for looking out for me. which adore cassette did you procure?
jesus, been looking for that for 3 years! can i buy it from you!?[/quote:jwl835l6]
In short No
, I will have a look tonight for another for you![/quote:jwl835l6]i may be wrong here, but i also get the impression that nobody here is actually keeping up with the reissues like a proper freak.
by that i mean no blame. it’s just an impression.
some of us used to be all over a new release, collecting all the main international versions and promos within weeks. (i remember it used to be like that when zeitgeist and american gothic came out, for example.) now it seems like we’re all a bit slower, myself included.i guess the reissues – even though they’re being released fairly slowly – are coming too fast, and are too expensive. you need a big wallet to stay on top of those.
and there must be other reasons. some people are less into the band, compared to a couple of years ago. that takes away part of the drive to collect.
and for me, the fact that i think some of the reissue prices are a rip-off, doesn’t help either. i don’t mind spending some money, but if i get the feeling i’m getting ripped off, i stay away.[/quote:3jpn6r1z]i’ve been trying my best bram, but other opportunities are making it harder and harder to justify the amount i used to spend on the pumpkins. thankfully, the bottom dropped out on the collecting market, but even with that, the newer releases just are not dropping in price. i have time. i wish i could just buy everything and scan it in, but i can’t afford over $100 for the 5LP TAFH reissue box. even though i want it pretty bad!
and the small things, i keep a track as best i can on eBay and i don’t think they release to as many countries as before. if there is a weird country pressing, i pick it up. for example, i only have the US version of the oceania DVD, but also picked up a TH promo version as well because i assume it’s hard to come by. everything else i also assume will be easily attainable later on at ridiculously affordable prices. i hope so, anyway
just obtained CR-04 from eBay. so put me back in the running for a complete set! (although, it may take quite some time)
*stoked*
do you think the pisces reissue got a canadian standard cd release? (since amazon.ca sold the US standard cd release, one might think a canadian version doesn’t exist.)
clearly we have to catch up on these reissues, here on spfreaks. a lot of the standard cd releases of the reissues are still missing. i’m not even sure if all the deluxe editions are up yet.
[/quote:nytyc2dv]not sure about pisces.
and i agree we have some catching up to do. i know arthur and myself have been RIDICULOUSLY busy with personal jobs and the like. i’m 3 records deep into scanning the US MCIS vinyl reissue. very laborious task, but it’s looking great so far! (i stopped before christmas and haven’t returned)
