Some form of live recording for what I imagine is Dubno is being done tonight. Imagine it'll be sold at some point.

Hi Matt, Can you elaborate a bit more? Link to source?

Just saw this tweet from Underworld:

What's a Black Label and who is Gorgon City?

Ironically looks like it's being sponsored by Carling and is being filmed for TV. Unsure really why it's happening and how limited the release will be.

Gorgon City at facebook : "Last night we recorded our remix of Underworld's 'Cowgirl' live to vinyl at Abbey Rd Studios. Such an amazing experience!! Big thanks to Underworld & BlackLabelProject. Audio/video coverage coming soon"

The vinyl of this only looks to be available to those lucky enough to attend the recording, but you can get the MP3 of Gorgon City's remix of Cowgirl here (http://blklabelproject.com/)

Apparently, Underworld played a set also:

Wonder what they played, aside from the obvious cowgirl and nuxx. If I had to guess it'd be similar to I<3Techno

That's a pretty terrible remix. The guys voice and overly earnest delivery is severely off-putting to me.

So Carling paid a fortune for a bad remix, and made a rare piece of vinyl with a proper live version on it that there is absolutely no way at all for Underworld fans to get hold of?

Way to piss people off, Carling!

This is right up there with Volkswagen's 'we've made this amazing generative music app with Underworld but we won't let anyone have it' in the dumb marketing ideas that seem specifically designed to get people to hate your brand stakes.

Listen to it here: http://bit.ly/1BPhQeo (pretty lame though).

Any setlist for the UW gig?

Wow, lame indeed... I now understand why we only found out about the recording on the night it was planned ;)

I have added the date to the Gigography:

http://uwlive.rowla.com/gigs/view/504

I am looking forward to any footage that Carling releases in the near future.

I don't mind the Cowgirl "remix", it is a different interpretation.. perhaps the vocals a bit too shoegazy, but its better than yet another "Club/DJ" mix. Anyway I consider this more of a "cover" than a "remix", but thats another debate.

I bet that vinyl will be extremely collectable though.

Anyway, here are a handful of decent remixes of Underworld tracks:

Bruce Lee (Micronauts Remix)
Jumbo (Futureshock Remix)
Ring Road (Kris Menace Remix)
Born Slippy .NUXX (Darren Price Mix)
Play Pig (Pig & Dan Mix 3)

I won free tickets to this but couldnt go at the last min. So i gave the tickets away to two lucky london Dirts. I got a goodie bag out of it and will also get a copy of the vinyl they recorded. if you search for the hastags on twitter you can see lots of photos. Apparently UW played a small set afterwards but played almost the same set as they did at 6Music. #blklabelproject #blacklabelproject

Did your goodie bag look like this?

I havent seen it yet, but I know that those two vinyls were in there, so I suspect thats what it looks like!

So, what does it have on it? Just the Gorgon City remix?

Side A: Underworld - Cowgirl Live at Abbey Road
Side B: Gorgon City - Cowgirl Live at Abbey Road

...according to the person cashing in on ebay at the moment.

Live sets from ultra miami are getting posted about, saw gorgon city and poked through, they played their cover of Cowgirl. Can't say I'm surprised such a track is getting more live play... ;)

It's second in the set, and it cuts out a couple times, but it's there. Haven't bothered to listen to the original rendition more than once so can't comment on if it's any different.

Finally managed to pick up a copy of this- does anyone else have it?
Took a bit of negotiation with a couple of sellers (one who wouldn't budge from north of £150 and claimed to have sold a couple at that price already) but I eventually got one for a reasonable amount.

Yeah, I got one for £37, but I think I probably got a good deal on it. I haven't listened to it yet. There weren't many of these made.

£7.49 anyone? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNDERWORLD-Gorgon-City-Cowgirl-Vinyl/272743835152

Rather shockingly considering it's worth 5-10 times as much, and it there's no obvious reason any one person would have 8 copies, I actually don't think it's a bootleg!

I bought one expecting it to be a shoddy fake, and either they have nailed the sleeve reproduction better than any boot I've ever seen (no sign of moire on the halftoning) and got the handwritten engraved message and catalogue number spot on, or it's real. The only issue is that it's got a few flecks of black in the white vinyl, so it might be that this guy has a pile of rejects? Oh, and it was packaged awfully - just wrapped in brown paper, so I'm amazed it got here in one piece!

They're legit. I've talked to the guy before. He somehow ended up with all the overstock from Black Label, about 90 copies. He really wants to dump them. He was trying to sell them in big lots, or even the whole bundle, but no one was biting. I guess he's trying to sell them individually again. If you wait, he might lower the price on them. All these copies are going to crater the value on this release, which is fine. I'd rather the collectors that want a copy can get them, than some guy who doesn't even know what they are just sitting on them.

I seem to have missed it! :( Sent him a message hoping for more, but I'm not hopeful.

edit: He has 93 remaining! plenty to go around

Yup, there he goes again, trying to offload them:

Well, he's got 70 more, so keep an eye on his auctions.

the individual listing for £8.79 each is back up if anyone missed it before like me.
