    long play (LP) does, in fact, by definition, only refer to vinyl. so arthur was right. :P (according to wikipedia.org)

    however, i think commonplace jargon has colloquially accepted LP to mean an album on any format. but, technic(ally), that is wrong.

    i’m not sure how big demand is, but i guess it must be higher than 3000.

    if someone is able to pick up an extra copy, i’d be grateful to take if off their hands.[/quote:1wh2b111]

    i would assume these would be flying off the shelf. nirvana, sappy? are you kidding me? one of their best songs, imo. not sure i give a shit about any other songs on there, minus glynis.

    it’s illegal to secure a copy beforehand, so you just have to get lucky or get there early. or live in wyoming. i’ll be on the lookout for you and let you know what’s up.

    i think it will be very similar to the target celestials release, in that i don’t think many stores will receive more than one or two copies (typically). which by the way, i have for sale! (shameless plug).

    you’re my razor
    oh no

    hey!
    and the situation wasn’t quite
    as intense as i thought
    i need you around
    to remind me what not to become

    and the situation wasn’t quite
    as intense as i thought
    i need you around
    to remind me when not to be calm
    calm, calm, calm

    you’re my favorite
    of my failures
    you’re my favorite
    oh no

    yes you’re my favorite
    of my favors
    you’re my razor
    oh no

    hey!

    Nirvana – If You Must

    i can read, i can write
    i can breed, proven flight
    nurse my greed, crease infold
    is it me, or my ego
    write some words, make them rhyme
    thesis or storyline
    set the mood, something new
    is it me, or my attitude

    if you want to put off an image
    the extremes, the extremes
    act it out
    practicing
    perfecting
    pressuring
    onto me
    onto me
    onto me

    i will wade in the fire
    to explain your asylum
    idle times, analyzing
    we’ll compare all our sightings
    you must

    i speak to hear my voice

    i can read, i can write
    i can breed, proven flight
    nurse my greed, crease infold
    is it me, or my ego
    write some words, make them rhyme
    thesis or storyline
    set the mood, something new
    is it me, or my attitude

    if you want to put off an image
    the extremes, the extremes
    act it out
    practicing
    perfecting
    pressuring
    onto me
    onto me
    onto me
    onto me
    onto me
    onto me
    onto me

    it all makes sense now. the aeroplane was never an aeroplane. it was a metaphor for a record player to be released and thrown at billy over a decade later. and since it flies high, maybe it will be made of lightweight composite materials. we obviously need to contact monte to get to the bottom of this. can anyone email him?

    i believe, at this point, monte cries FOR billy so that he doesn’t have to.

    well, curiosity got the best of me. however, there are no promo markings on the CDs. at least, not this set.

    you weren’t ripped off. mine clocks in at 3:58 as well. looks like you discovered a little misprint. :) 8)[/quote:xlwkf0oh]

    Thanks for checking, I feel better for that.[/quote:xlwkf0oh]

    no problem. i need to adjust the entry as well. thanks!

    just got the US MCIS Reissue CD in the mail with a promo hole punched out under the shrink wrap so i guess promos exist?

    Nice finds! 8)

    Just curious, is the Lost Highway CD the stickered A Estrada Perdida version? I passed on a non-stickered version on eBay a few months ago, since I’m only looking for the stickered version. Most probably you beat me to that. :evil:[/quote:35h7ys3j]

    mine has no sticker. i wanted that, but it was more $, so i settled on a cheaper version.

    personally, i would have calibrated to siamese dream, as it’s my favorite record ever. make that sound superior, and nothing else matters.

    i remember sven speaking of the heavy bass on the machina test pressing. perhaps it was changed for the commercial release. also possible, is a difference between the US and UK pressings.

    Where’d you find that gem? Super jealous![/quote:3iatizjo]

    by the way: just curious…

    does anyone here own the one and only I Am One 7"t/p that got out (word of mouth has it that BC has two copies, three were made)? this one copy was sold long ago or at least put up for auction on eBay…

    (damn myself: i remember clearly how it looked and all, might have saved the images then, but i did that on a work computer (as I haven’t had a computer until pretty much 2000+)… anyway… all my TSP-files I then copied onto ZIP-discs, gave those to Jeroen, he then transferred the files to CDRs for me and maybe I did put those back onto an old computer I no longer use (but still have in the attic)… I never threw any TSP-related stuff away, so these CDRs should be somewhere, just like the audio for the Still Life / TSP gig (very first Pumpkins show) where I had some snippets of (and one or two complete songs) from the Still Life set where BC filled in if I’m not totally mistaken… so many years ago… might need to bring my archive(s) back in working order I guess… :) …)[/quote:3iatizjo]

    i remember that going for sale on eBay when i was in college, so probably around 98-2000, somewhere in there. it went for $700ish. as i recall, the vinyl was yellow, but perhaps that was just the sleeve it came in. i think it was probably mike potentials copy. i didn’t bid, had no money then. oh well.

    i don’t even like posting in this thread anymore because i just feel like an asshole that is bragging. but i felt that one needed to be posted. :lol:

    anyway, been working on acquiring that gem for over a year. very fair price. no real story, at least, not one i want to share. just a great seller and all around great person.

    it’s my second copy that i currently have, so i’m holding it for a friend. i’m holding it ransom!

    i bought a few other \"normal\" things though:

    1979 mixes 12\" t/p (US version – to be confirmed)
    bunch of promo tapes
    MCIS 12\" with empty white box – FINALLY
    few mispressed vinyls
    Zeitgeist CL CD (not promo, commercial release)
    few ID cassettes
    singles BR
    lost highway BR
    some other random items i can’t remember

    Did spfreaks get taken down yet? :)[/quote:fvxmtacp]

    he told me to tell you to go fuck yourself and that he bought the moon demo, original psycho tape, NEC and eye demos from joann. which is strange when you think about it. why would she consult him for prices as a friend and not just sell it outright? then she lists it on eBay for him to buy? what a shitty friend.

    "how much is this worth?"

    "maybe $250"

    "ok, i’ll list it on eBay then. hope it sells for $250!"

    "good luck! i’ll bid on it. hope i win!"

    "don’t worry, we’re the same person!"

    "oh yeah. tell devon i’m not going to be able to see her tonight. i have a prior engagement with thuy."

    "will do!"

    "thanks devon!"

    i used to play the cherub rock 12\" quite a lot, as the bass seemed to overpower on the record. perhaps that’s not a good record for fine tuning!

    this is funny. even his entire class hates this guy:

    \"[dude’s name]….it is very obvious to us that you are writing these posts. They reek of your intense desire and malicious intent to bring others down in order to make yourself feel superior. If you were trying to hide your identity then you are failing miserably. Has gaining so much weight since high school really made you this cruel?

    Karma is truly a wonderful thing and you will get exactly what you deserve.

    Sincerely,

    thanks to debby for clueing me in to this video’s existence. it is now, perhaps, my second favorite video ever fucking made.
