Fractured desires
Too many rushes of blood
Not enough buzzes left to expand
Too many let downsIdeas imbibed
Too many thoughts flowing freely
Not enough action followed through
Too many expressions left unsaidSucked dry
Too many emotional investments
Not enough receiving
Too many goodbyesResolution undefined
Too many fish in the sea
Not enough time in the world
Too many times to be driven blindA requested theme and a suggested title:
Poop & Circumstance
A heavy load upon my heart
An urgent need to bescumber
I drop my trousers to the floor
To fertilise the cucumberI saw her there on the train
oh boy, she had it coming
i reached down and pinched her bum
she kicked me in the plumbingnot sure if this is the right thread, but this entry can be improved: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … S&item=227
it’s the spanish promo for try, try, try.
it doesn’t contain the full album version of the song. it’s edited. note how the cd and sleeve say 3:57. also note that this edit is different from the radio edit that is on some of the other try, try, try promo cds.[/quote:z1iv2sqi]I’ll work on this.[/quote:z1iv2sqi]
The CD also comes with an info sheet aswell. I’ll see about scanning it for you. I’ll have to nick it off my dad during the week as i’ve got 2 or 3 other items i need to send in:
The Greatest Hits acetate (Rotten Apples to the already added Judas 0: [url:z1iv2sqi]http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?page=IMGVIEW&item=7993[/url:z1iv2sqi])
The Greatest Hits paper sleeved acetate (I thought it was already added but i noticed the ones on the site are in a jewel case)
Siamese Dream acetate cassette (With written date as opposed to typed date)I’m going through all my stuff week by week at the moment, i don’t have a lot and it’s shrinking fast. So i’ll get anything missing catalogued before it’s gone.
The Zero EP was one of the first SP items i bought. It was store bought aswell. I’ll go and dig it out and give you the dirt.
Edit:
Pretty much mint. Printed on the front of the CD:
74243 8 42046 2 4
HUTCD 73
LC 3098

EMI SwindonHope this helps.
Edit 2: Kinda ignore this, as i just re-read that it was the EU version that you wanted info on. The ring info on my copy differs slightly to whats on the site already though. I’ll go back into my hole now
That’s right Arthur, i took a hit for the team
You know what, i even looked at the official tape on here, saw the concerts on the tape, which one was the wrong year, and everything on the cassetteis incomplete anyway, and nothing even registered.
I could of put that money aside to pay for the Limited Potential I Am One or the Pisces 12\" + 7\"…
You’ve got to laugh really
I looked but couldn’t find anything, ah well, it’s too late now. I had some bad feelings, especially at that price. What the hell was i thinking?
As soon as i can work a camera without it being one big blur i’ll start working on.
I think i’m the running for the most stupid buyer of the year:

i must say i can’t really decide where these come from based on the label.
little help here?[/quote:25rizau8]Well buddy, all i’ve got to go on myself is the labels. I’ve just checked my ebay feedback history, the VHS was bought from a guy in the US, as was the DVD.
The only number on the DVD centre ring is: EE625A406866G.
There is nothing on the labels to say any country of origin, all i can say is the sellers lived in America.
Hope this helps, as that’s the extent of my knowledge without ringing up Warner\\Reprise and grilling the Director on production locations.
Woah, these collections are awesome, mine pails in comparison, i would do some shoots myself but it’ll just be a disapointment in comparison
The only SD vinyl i have is sealed so i have no idea on the colour, awesome collections though. Why do the vinyls vary in colour\\shade so much?
Snippets.

They’ve also done a Christmas compilation with ‘Christmastime’
[url:2zznngiq]http://www.netsounds.com[/url:2zznngiq] are like GEMM but based in the UK, they seem to have loads of stuff listed but prices vary on a lot of items.
You have mail, here are a couple of scrapped digicam pics before i resorted back to the scanner:

can you tell me more about these?
is the dvd PAL or NTSC? is it an american or a european release?
and how about the vhs?thanks.[/quote:9vtg8jno]
Never says, 2 of the 3 of the DVD players in the house i’ve coded into being multi-region but the Sony DVD recorder has to be chipped so i’ll give it a try on there, it’ll tell me what region it’s designed for.
The video might be harder as the VCR’s play videos from anywhere, but NTSC tends to play as a lower quality.
The info i have about where these items originate are pretty much what they say on the label.

[/quote:u66lrct2]hey hey hey…

[/quote:u66lrct2]Aww i’m sorry, i really didn’t think id win the DVD, i didn’t mean to upset you
. I will be uploading it in a few weeks though, it’s a very insightful interview with Billy & Jimmy about the run-up to Zeitgeist, old band members, recording the album…*pops back into existence*
Glad i saw this thread, i was about to pay £50 for a red one, thought something was fishy so i checked here.
Edit: Red one

I got my TAFH box quite early in my collecting \"career?\", i got it at quite a bargain price, it wasn’t very descriptive on the ebay description but still…
It all arrived, every CD was there and in great condition, the book was a little frayed but i didn’t mind, it was mine, ALL MINE!!!… ahem.
But on the sticker under the lid, the seller had attempted to draw the TAFH booklet aeroplane and the SP heart very badly, then scribbled it out in thick marker. Ah well, i’m putting off buying a better condition one as i have this one, there’s no rush.
Not exactly rare, but i bought the Singles soundtrack CD for the bargain price of £1, it turned up scratched, in a slim jewel case and no back cover.
So far i’ve been fairly lucky, especially since probably the worst incident i’ve encountered myself, my own stupidity really. I bought a couple of items of on ebay user. He emailed me after the bid saying he had rare items he wanted to sell. So i asked him what and he replied with such items such as the first metro cd from the last metro and some other highly sort after and rare items. So i sent him $200 in the post, excited about getting ahold of some really rare items all at once. The origina items i bought on ebay arrived fine. The ones he emailed me about didn’t, i never heard from him again and he dissapeared off of ebay shortly afterwards.
I have learnt my lesson.
