Karl did say look out on ebay fairly soon, on UW live....so i reckon this must have been from someone who is related to UW in some way...

well done all those who snagged one... ;)

(just checked the seller's feedback, and the only signs of who this seller is, is by looking at the ebooks that he's bought...he's not sold anything else really...

anyway how long did these stay on ebay for...not long by the looks of it...???

Nice one Raj. I pointed this out to Jayynee/BeautifulBurnout and she bought it. A classic release.
Yes, thanks to you both. Wednesday was a good eBay day for me: this, some dogtags and the Tokyo CD. I've moved my pc to the hall so I can watch the letterbox now. :p

*cough*

Ahh, you bought that did ya? I was sorely tempted. Then I looked at the likes of BSS. And Lloyd. And Stimps. And Geo. And I thought to myself "If I buy this I won't stop bidding for stuff on eBay". Then I looked at my bank account and made a sensible life choice.

:(

Being sensible really, really isn't all it is cracked up to be you know? :o

These are genuine and have been sold for a Buy It Now price of £15 each, limited to one per person. It strikes me that it is deliberate policy to avoid people making obscene amounts of dosh selling the japanese ones on eBay. I don't know if they are releasing any more, but it would be nice if they did.

Karl told us to look out on ebay and it looks like many of us did. There was no immediate warning apart from that. Of the 20 that went on sale I think at least 12 or 13 went to members of this forum (from looking at the buyer's ebay IDs). Congratulations to you all.

some of the tracks from bootleg babies

could only fit about 45 minutes of

well - if they were sold via someone related to the band...

why not sell them from the uwlive site? That way... those who don't feel comfortable w/ paypal, can just use their credit cards to buy them...

-> and am I the only one who gets at least 4/5 fake paypal emails each week? I signed up for it - discovered that it's like a direct-withdrawl from your savings/checking account, and not a way to pay via credit card... so I didn't fully sign up (never gave any info)

...heard nothing from them for literally 3/4 years and now - tons of phony emails

'new orders' site, that peter
saville had designed some
trainers : http://www.press.adidas.com/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-225/

(this coming after he designed
some levis jeans)..

and it reminded me about the
underworld adidas trainers..

i see there are still some available..
and they are pretty decently priced
(around US$100 or so)..

i figured they would be worth a lot
more by now...but i guess since there
isn't as much a demand for them anymore?

anyways, so did most people here already
buy them? how did they work out?

I think there is just one version, but because the uppers are made with 3M reflective fabric they can look very different depending on the light.

There've been quite a few pairs available on eBay, and there are also some still available from Adidas specialty shops like Harputs (http://harputs.com).

I don't think they've been going for high enough prices to make it worth counterfeiting them -- the design is non-standard enough that it would probably be prohibitively expensive to ramp up production for even cheap knock-offs.

They've got reflective material. Normally they are some kind of beige but with light they are reflective white. I've never seen them in reality, though. I would buy them but the biggest ones that pop up on ebay have size 11 and i need 12.:rolleyes:

You're being diplomatic. Those aren't considered real shoes for selling, are they?

i think the UW ones are amongst the best designed of the 35 in the anniversary series...

I don't like them. Once held them in my hands in a shop and was quite disappointed. The idea with the reflective material is cool but personally I don't fancy beige/white, especially on shoes. I have to say I don't like most of the anniversary series shoes.

Wow, that's really cool. Never heard of that one either. Do you think it could be a French release? I looks quite similar to the French 2 track Born Slippy (Logic, cat# 74321416062).

If it is, then there's a French 2 track cardboard version of both BS and PG,
(and a German 2 disk version of both BS and PG).

Let us know when you receive it. :)

ok, i got it today,

nope its not french per se....it appears to be
another release that may be specific
to Germany, or some other european country,
since it says made in EU.....although as
mentioned before there was a slimline
3 track pearls girl from germany already..

CD5: 1996 GE (Logic / BMG; LOC 209 / 743 214 4379 2)
3:47 01. pearl's girl (short version)
8:11 02. pearl's girl (tin there)
8:57 03. born slippy.NUXX (original instrumental)

i think the french born slippy promo might
be the only specific one from there?

The Japanese KoS looks like the others, just another shade of green (turquoise). The French BS 12" is not very exciting, and won't fit in my scanner. :) I think there's a pic on discogs.

that BMG front cover looks like a bootleg, but i assume its geniune because of the back details...

yeah, i got a pair of those dog-tags recently from ebay... i remember seeing them on sale years back and was kicking myself for not buying them back in 1995 and 1996. i especially remember seeing them in the Birmingham Que Club in March 96 along with the Kiteless video and the Skyscraper book. Instead, i bought a cream long sleeve UW shirt... hmm. Did i make the right decision? at least i have the dog tags now...

Been after the mmm skyscraper book for a while

Hello!

Thanks for your congrats!

Yes im someone from this board!
Altough i dont post a lot (as you can see) im reading this stuff for some years now!
i love underworld music and have been spending a lot of money on it!

Im, in fact, one of the proud owners of 12" ME! Sometime in the future i'll post a picture of it just to tease you all :D Also own one of the £15 live in Tokyo triple cd sets. :p

Now i'm very happy to have won this 4 cd singles, However i have already the MMM Skyscrapper cd, so very soon i'll be selling this one. (Looks like ultradave has a similar story)

:confused: but now im freaked out. How can a seller have two sets of this 4 rare cds? I'm getting suspicious, because he has no seller positive feedback!!

The guy should post a picture of the disc - if the disc itself doesn't say promo, what good is a sticker on the plastic case - for all we know it could be a plastic case from another CD single. My 4 disc's should be arriving today and I'm excited. I better hold off selling my duplicate Mmm... Skyscraper single since it seems a few people are getting ready to sell theirs.

so ultradave,
you got the same 4 items?
but the 'mmm skyscraper' is a duplicate for you?

anyways, i kind of wonder about this thread..

i know there are always requests for rare items,
but what exactly is rare or collectible any more?
(see the thread 'underworld and ebay')..

i know i post links from time to time..
but most people check ebay anyways...

if there are people that want to trade
or buy items, maybe we should start
another thread just for people that
want to do that?

the thing is this thread is rather large,
and that people might not look at it,
since its hard to read through..

i wouldn't mind it, if it was easier to
get information straight from people
that want to trade/sell their items ..

thoughts, anyone?

I think this thread is useful for pointing out collectible items on venues (mainly eBay) outside of direct trade/sell with other member on this board. Doesn't necessarily have to be rare to be collectible.

The new trade thread should suffice for member-to-member transactions, but I think this thread still serves a purpose for pointing out available stuff elsewhere.

for me:
i usually check the US one first: http://www.ebay.com

that usually picks up most of the UK auctions (but not all),
then i go to the UK one : http://www.ebay.co.uk

then the German one : http://www.ebay.de

after that you can check all the other ones,
(australian, canadian, etc)...to pick up on other
foreign releases.

would be nice to have a google-like search for items,
or if someone wrote a search that would go through
all the ebays for items, maybe someone has done it already?

by the way, if you're looking for 'gat decor' - passion,
try to pick up the 7 track italian cd-single with the
exclusive mixes on them, the uk cd-single doesn't
have all of them..(the darren emerson 12" edit)

The dutch version of ebay has a link that gives all underworld items at ebay worldwide if you do a search for them. 'Watch all objects, also by international sellers'. Also there is a search option to search in the EU or worldwide at the left sidebar when you are on the search result page.
I see that it is there on ebay.com too.

Rez / Why Why Why just went for £4.99 on ebay this afternoon. While this may seem like a bargain for something so rare, it was described as ORIG but looked like a bootleg, the label was very was worn (no 33RPM COLLECT002 at the top or A JUNIOR PROMOTIONAL TOOL at the bottom either) and there was no photo of the vinyl which is a good sign that its a bootleg as the bootleg vinyl is much pinker. The quality of the record was also described as "VG" (very good) which means it will have surface noise on playing and may have light scratches. Can also it means labels/covers are worn.

On the whole I think it may be that the buyer got what he paid for.

Anyway, here's the link (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNDERWORLD-REZ-WHY-WHY-WHY-ORIG-PINK-VINYL-JBO_W0QQitemZ4860585044QQcategoryZ58642QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem) so maybe you can decide for yourself and prove me wrong.

wow that rez looks battered just by the label alone...

one thing i've just noticed on the bootleg and the original - of which i have booth, the bootleg has an indented inner circle around the centre hole on both sides, whereas the original copy has a raised circle...

now the copy in the photo for thsi auction does appear to have a raised circle, and where 'a junior promotional tool' is supposed to be written it is not shown, so its hard to tell if this is the bootleg or the original

but the original should have as Stimpee stated the text at the top and bottom of the label and as far as i am aware a raised outer circle...

either way a battered version of the original without the official pink sleeve is not worth much more than £4.99 anyway...

well its just the AHDO CD in the case...but the details on the sleeve notes are worth having - its hardly a 'press kit' as such, its a promo CD in a DVD case with an interesting 8 page booklet...

also of note is the track listings on the back which are slightly incorrect, with Mo Move Listed as 13:49 Long - its not its actually 6:54, unless you get a special one in yours ;)

The copy i saw yesterday had IIRC something like 4xxx. (I'm really not sure on this)
So it's not unlikelily that there are around 4000-(5000???) copies of this item.

wow that does seem excessive for a promo item though, considering they gave them away...the exclusive style case although not expensive does incure a cost as does printing a nice 8 page booklet and inner slip sleeve...plus the cost of the CD itself...its not just some shoddy CD-R type promo its a full CD

They have the rotating parts of the front cover bigger than the ones on the promo. the back cover wont fit the replacing back cover box and i have no intention of triming the back cover of the promo!!!!:mad:

You are correct. I was looking at the Jumbo stickered promo. I don't know how I confused that, guess I didn't notice the TMO single right in the front row. If I'm not mistaken - that KOS promo looks like the one I have - a 2 track JBO promo with Rick's Bungalow mixes - nothing very special. The disc has no info just the title on top - "King Of Snake" - no catalog # on the disc or anything - but a must for the collector I guess. I got mine as part of a LOT I purchased - If you're interested - I'd be willing to trade it.

no fucking way....these are so dodgy...

do you really think that KH would knock something so piss poor up, even if it was for charity....these are taking the piss...what with the lager cans at the back...

well - i may have to eat me acetate - as there appears to be loads for sale...but i'm investigating this right now....

they all look dodgy...but it may be real after all....its just the photo and listing look a bit 'basic' for a registered charity auction...and there is also a function in ebay listings to make it known that the auction is for charity...

it does appear a bit basic for such a prestigious charity...but then again it would have been pulled if not legit i suppose...

so i checked them out fully (and now i've made a bid)... and well, as dodgy as they actually look they are kinda neat if they are UW designed...especially if they come with the action man...

so i take it all back about them being piss poor...(its just i expect so much quality from our boys)

it was just the shoddy photo and simplistic listing details that made me initially think these were a piss take...

afterall the listing just says:

Size four, from the singers of born slippy. All proceeds go to the National AIDS trust.

there's no actual authenticity or reason for listing... just a 1 line comment...seemed a bit odd... but as its on the official NAT site... i believe,

but its a bit difficult sellling stuff if you don't advertise well, and your buyers have to check you out before people want to bid

I must admit that the ebay site looks bad indeed. If you want to raise money for charity you should a far better job on it. If I would happen on that page while searching for UW stuff at ebay I don't think I would give it a second look. You atleast expect a bill of authenticity like with movie props.

wow that'd be really nice, i'd rather acquire this for a fan rather than it go to some gallery - in fact if i won it i could put it in a case / box or something and tour it round the dirts like the old dirty box, so that everyone gets to own it for a while, well, everyone who chipped in...;)

i know its just an idea...but i wouldn't want this to go to someone not interested in the band, if someone does wanna bid against me then fine, thats not a problem, after all its for charidee, but you know its going to a good home if i win it...its not like i'm gonna sell it on...

mmm... it kinda looks like a V2 promo, but its hard to tell - some of the type fonts on some CD's are a bit strange, and this doesn't look like one i've seen before, but who knows...

all i know is that the Cowgirl Atomic Hooligan mix was never officially released, because AH asked me how they could get it released and I suggested that they send a copy of that and their Rez remix to JBO, which they did, (and in return they nicely sent a 2 mix acetate CD-R to me as well - ;) )

When it was announced that they were re-releasing Born Slippy, in 2003, they were persueded not to release the Cowgirl / Rez remixes...although they did have some white labels knocked up ready to go - which is what came out...

in return they were asked to remix Born Slippy 2003, because that was already scheduled and JBO/V2 didn't want conflicting tracks out there, well thats how i understand it....and as such Cowgirl (the AH mix) was never on the JBO/V2 schedule - which is why i'm doubtful about the origin of this CD...V2 wouldn't promote a 'bootleg' track, i don't think

although - either way its a good CD to have - as a CD quality copy of the AH mixes is nice, (as is the Rez mix...)

personally - i'd say it was a bootleg - it was never official as far as i know...

the only Atomic Hooligan remix that was officially sanctioned was Born Slippy 2003, Rez and Cowgirl were knocked up by AH to showcase their work, and as such are not official items...although nice to own....

I wonder why you are bidding so early... When i want something, i just wait 5 seconds before the auction ends and (hopefully) get it cheaper.

i'm not sure,
but since this one has a reserve price,
you can't really wait until the last minute,
unless the reserve price has been met..

Hm, that set has every remix on it, eh? Is it legit? The only problem I see is that the Full Length of It edit is 6:09, not 4:34 (the album version).

Even when there's a reserve, I still do the last-second bidding thing to avoid a bidding war. I just e-mail the seller and ask what the reserve is set at, so I know what I need to bid. 90% of the time, they respond and tell you the reserve.

yeah, but if the price hasn't hit the reserve,
and you bid at that price, you can still get
outbid... so that doesn't gain you anything..

also, i've noticed if you try to bid up the price,
when it hasn't reached reserve, it still doesn't
'set' itself at that price...i don't know how to
get around that..

yeah, but if the price hasn't hit the reserve,
and you bid at that price, you can still get
outbid... so that doesn't gain you anything..

Sure it does. It lets you know the absolute minimum amount you would have to bid in order to win the item. I've seen items where the seller has set an unrealistic reserve, and knowing that ahead of time, I can delete the item from my Watch List and wait for a more reasonable auction to come along.

Assuming the reserve is reasonable, I can determine how high above that I am willing to pay, place my final (and only) bid at the last second, and again, avoid any bidding wars with people who like to bid throughout the auction, thus, hopefully keeping the final price at a minimum above the reserve price.

big screen satellite

05-08-2006, 02:53 PM

well the reserve on this one is $100...which is quite high...

but now its been met, its a bidding war...

although i'm always wary of a bidder with '0' feedback rating... could be the buyer bumping the price up, using a friend or someone... but the current highest bidder is on 'zero' feedback... which seems a bit odd

In this case, I doubt that seller and bidder know each other or are the same person. In this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=307&item=4847696664) the very same bidder's bid was cancelled because of zero feedback. So winterroth123 seems to be a bit slow-witted :)

05-08-2006, 04:23 PM

And yet, let's look at the facts. You have a bidder (winterroth123) with a less than two month old account. He bids up to the reserve on a seller's (analog_model) item, and he has no bids on any other auctions for the past 30 days.

The only bid we can find from before that period is, again, on an item from the same seller, analog_model. And, in fact, the winterroth123 account was created on March 11, the same date as the first bids on that item.

It all looks very fishy to me...
Maybe he signed up initially because he wanted to bid for the 4 cd lot...we all have to start somewhere. :) He could be some Underworld maniac (thenumbertwosuperfan) only bidding for the super rarities. We'll probably never see those Push Upstairs cds again.

Anyway, I don't see anything suspicious per se...

TheBang

05-09-2006, 01:34 AM

thenumbertwosuperfan and he's never had an eBay account before? Right . . . :)

In any case, the bidding's gone kinda astronomical now, and there's still a week to go on the auction. I wonder how badly numberonesuperfan wants this?

Well, if he just started collecting he couldn't really have had an account before, could he...? :) I just don't see the logical connection between a long history of ebay bidding and the user's ability to bid on some rarity.

as much as i'd agree with you...

i have to say that if you had just started collecting would you seriously start buying one of the most expesnive items you could, surely you would pick up some cheaper bits first...

personally if i was selling a rare item at a high price i'd be very wary of bidders with 0 feedback and would investigate their intentions off ebay, by contacting them...this the seller may have done...

but asd a bidder on an auction like this it does lead me to be a bit wary too...the price has shot up because of two bidders with no feedback at all...

just seems a bit sus...but we'll see what happens at the end (i've emailed teh sleler and am waiting to hear from him as well..)

The third option is that the bidder is one of those irresponsible ones who drive up the price with no intention of honouring their bids. They are a pain in the ass for both seller and well-meaning bidders.

About bidding on cheaper stuff first - maybe, but personally I have sold a few quite expensive items to bidders with low or zero feedback, but I've had non-payers as well

Look forward to what the seller has to say about his zero-feedback bidders :) Let us know...

so my 8 track Buick Project (Remixes and Production) Showreel CD arrived today featuring two excellent remixes of Vanilla Monkey...

the Buick Project being Nic Fanciulli & Andy Chatterley...

the first mix, Buicks Early Doors remix is quite minimal in its featuring of Underworld (hardly any KH Vocals), but you certainly know its Vanilla Monkey...its a nice building groove

the second mix, the Buick Project Mix - is likely to be the one on a 12" or something, it features more of the instrumentation of teh original and more mumbled KH lyrics...

maybe both will feature on CD or 12" somewhere..i'd like to see that but if i was to choose one, it'd be the second mix...neither mix is an instant classic, but then again they are really quite far away from the original version and so do the job well, i'm not sure everyone will like them, but i do, its the kind of track that plays and you wonder what it is, and when someone tells you you go.. oh...and then try and find it

the production and remix quality are excellent, i hope the boys like what these and all the remixers are doing with their current work...

to be honest they are not very well done, and look a bit rushed... i was waiting to hear back from Darren regarding his input, because i think he was the only one involved in these, as its his signature on them... but i think he's busy ;)

basically its a pair of size 4 DM's with red (aids awareness ribbons) two jelly snakes (to symbolise King of Snake?) stuck on the sides, a train ticket from Romford, a Train with 'trainspotting' stuck on the side, three cans of empty Stella Artois hanging off the back (lager, lager lager), and a soldier with a gun sitting on top... the labels and aids messages have been stuck on with blu tac type substance...

i've tidied it up a bit and will take some photo's and post them here

i'm happy nonetheless, my £50 helped the cause and i own a one off dodgy Darren Emerson designed and signed item... after all it is Underworld memoribilia...

the ending date for that Auction is for the fifth... which, I think is the same day as the release of the next RR.

So therefore - the seller could've just made a generic, real looking promo cover and put the item up for auction (technically before it exists)

then the guy could just d/l the tracks and burn them to cd

06-02-2006, 12:41 PM

if you read all of the details on the sleeve - it does look very convincing - with the copywrite details and the fonts look like the most recent promo's i've got from UW

its possibly a sampler that they send to magazines to review before the actual download release date... its just a shame that the misterons mix isn't on there...

if I win this i'd expect to get it on Tuesday ;) and hence before the guy gets the chance to download part three...

Sadly Underworld are not the Beatles and despite their most unique of items gping for big bucks on ebay, these mp3's are readily available (or will be) albeit not in this format, and as such the guy selling this may not make big bucks out of it... (i hope) its not really worth bootlegging and in advance its very clever if it is...

here's hoping its genuine, which i believe it is...

06-03-2006, 07:59 AM

Has anyone ever seen an mp3 promo like this? Obviously it's like that as the 3 RiverRun's wouldn't fit onto one audio CD together. Is it feasible that UW would produce a promo featuring the first 2 RRs several months after they were originally released? Is a disc in mp3 format actually usable for any 'promo' purposes, i.e. radio airplay? If the tracks aren't split up then I seriously doubt it. Stinks of bullshit to me.

Anyone else appreciate the irony of Matt telling people not to get overexcited about the big sister preview and then watching him cough up money for this? No? Just me then?

joethelion

06-03-2006, 08:42 AM

wait...

the promo isn't even an audio cd? It's just mp3's... then definitely seems fake

I mean, I have seen promo cd-r's (and vinyl) of internet-only releases, but they were neither mp3 sourced, nor data discs containing mp3's

now - if the promo's auction was going to end like, even two days before the end of the auction (so then - it might be possible for it to be shipped prior to it's release) then I wouldn't doubt it's legitimacy

Stephen

06-03-2006, 09:00 AM

I agree. It's got to be a steaming pile of fraudulent shite.

The seller also has his feedback set to 'private', a setting usual reserved for scamsters and people who sell dildos and that.

stimpee

06-03-2006, 09:12 AM

Well i did just show how easy it is to make your own so it wouldnt surprise me. However, these have been released in mp3 so an mp3 release does make sense. The auction finishing on the release date of the 3rd RR does make it all the more suspicious I do admit but you never know, it may be genuine. I'd like to see the CD.

holden

06-03-2006, 09:20 AM

Agreed. the promo label doesn't scream "official" to me. In fact, here's what seller Charliecbury has to say about it:

"Comes in typical promo format - clear sleeve, paper insert with tracklisting on....see photo."

Seems like he's trying too hard. Like, 'see, check out the official-looking label! This is how they're done! Typical and not-at-all made-at-home in two minutes!';)

There seems like a CD is behind the label, because of the circular impression in the label, but i agree with Stimpee...let's see what's printed on the CD (other than Memorex CD-R :p )

big screen satellite

06-03-2006, 09:55 AM

you'd need some clever info to be able to put the details on correctly...

and he's sending me a scan of the CD - said it came from the record company - so i'll wait and see...

most people who set themselves to 'private' on ebay are protecting themselves because they sell promos which clearly state 'not for resale' and they often get clobbered by the record companies who send them these items - and don't want them sold on

Stimpee, its easy to knock up a CD with this kinda info after the event, i agree, but to get the details this 'right' for what really is a two bit promo that may not even make him £5 is hardly worth it - also after june 6th - no ones gonna wanna buy this anyway as everyone will have it

unless your a stupid 'must own' fan like me, and i'm certainly willing to take the risk - but if it gets silly money then i won't - i can't see that he's gonna make or sell loads more either because its not worth it - so why make a fake???

i have plenty of official promo's from record companies that look a lot more fake than this one does - but i know for a fact are geniune promos...

i have no reason to doubt that this is genuine because its not a stupid price and he's set no stupid reserve or anything like that...

well see anyway...

you'd need some clever info to be able to put the details on correctly...

Yeah, like a visit to UWlive, where all that info is listed!

your points are well taken, though, and it's no slam on you for wanting this item or the seller for offering it (if it's legitimate). it's also true that promo sleeves are often pretty lame looking. i hope it turns out to be the genuine article if you buy it. Just seems like such an odd item and sketchy timing.

Sounds like you'll see what you want to see Matt. Isn't the fact that there's no reserve more likely to suggest that it is a fake? I mean, if it was a genuine collector's item, he's not going to want to let it go for peanuts now, is he? Depends on how you look at it I guess...

Having said all that, the other items he's currently selling seem genuine enough, including a few promos with the tag 'not a pirate or a copy'.

Who knows eh?

A tenner doesn't even buy you two double vodkas and orange in a London pub. Worth the gamble I'd say.
Nummily illustrated. :)

I dunno - even if this goes for a tenner, it is a risk worth taking, for someone like Matt who is a collector par excellence. A tenner doesn't even buy you two double vodkas and orange in a London pub. Worth the gamble I'd say.

exactly

say it is geniune, and one of only 5 or so promos in existence (or even more)... i'd be stupid not to try and own it - and regret it later

if it turns out to be a fake, then if i haven't spent too much, i've not lost out...

For me owning the actual mp3 is nothing, unlike a lot of big fans here who just want the music in decent quality. For me its mainly about the product and as far as i can see this is a viable product to buy.

Despite this though i will still download it on Tuesday as i want to get the Misterons megamix, because if i can't own anything the next best thing is to 'own' the mp3 version.

You only get that if you buy the other two promos, too.

I mean, I thought Matt was underworldnumberonesuperfan.
Doesn't he (or for that matter don't we ) have the means to contact
a certain memeber or two or three of dirty or tomato and find out?
Maybe a yannick, a scott or an aNt? And then if this IS a fake, have
the seller rooted out and flogged?

just a thought.

crank!
pS MattI still need to send you yer thingy!

The real question is: Does the RR promo have Big Sister at some bit rate higher than 160 kbps?

For the hardcore collectors (got to be REAL hardcore to want this I think) there is yet another bootleg remix of Born Slippy. It's called born slippy (spacecab remix) and is out on a 1-sided 12".
