anybody here win this (http://cgi.ebay.com/UNDERWORLD-Mother-Earth-The-Hump-12-1st-Release-TOMATO_W0QQitemZ4750636544QQcategoryZ68071QQssPage NameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)?

[lloyd]

it wasn't me :(

[Dirty0900]

Nope:(

......

[holden]

Sweet Baby James! $182?! Someone wanted this bad! :o
imho, that's a borderline unjustifiable amount. i feel ripped off when a single costs $12 and only has three tracks! But like every other collectible on ebay or elsewhere, this is worth only whatever someone will pay for it. Today it was worth $182.

[stimpee]

15 mins before it ended, it was £25. then at the last minute there were loads of bids and it rocketed to £104! to be honest, the final price doesnt surprise me but the way it shot up does.

[lloyd]

Yeah real sniper battle in the end.
Last few all went for 100GBP+. It is that collectable...

[big screen satellite]

its a £100 record no doubt...don't foget that 'The Hump' is only avialable on this 12" and there are only 499 in existence...

and its also the only release on Underworld's Tomato label....

so £100 is a bit light...

i mean who has it and who doesn't?

499 not 500?:confused:


EDIT: U mean ur copy right?;)

[lloyd]

No..
The person selling the one before this one got one that was broken in the mail.

[big screen satellite]

yeah...i know someone who got two copies sent to them originally and one arrived smashed....so the 500 became 499....

[Haagen Darth]

Hi there!

I have one spare12inch of ME and over the Hump.
This record is from 1991 and looks good.. but I cant test it because I have no record player... before I put it on ebay to millions of people I would like to give you the opportunity to buy it directly

If you are interested... let me know

cheers

Haagen Darth

[dubman]

(either it's obvious that you do or you're not THE COLLECTOR we know you to be)

(its trebled since this picture though)

[Haagen Darth]

sorry ! I do not want to offend anybody!

I just thought you guys might be intrested...

np to me

all the best

Haagen Darth

[lloyd]

For a fair price, I'm interested yes.

[Haagen Darth]

ok ! ok ! here for the people who think i am faking

I received this record in Dec1991 in a white sleeve (maybe Promo?)
on one side before the middle hole is an carving "dog man go woof"
the subline to over the hump is :the hump 1- wild beasts and the hump 2 - groove without a doubt - remixed by stepping razor/ emerson &smith.

If somebody needs a picture I am willing to send it in the next few days

Haagen

[dubman]

i didn't think you were faking, i was just poking fun at my persistant state of financial ruin by humorlessly asking you to give me this vinyl of yours, the joke of course being that if you actually did give it to me for free, several heads in the room would EXPLODE.

edit: i would really dig a "dinosaur adventure 3d" shirt as i think it's pretty rad even if you didnt know it was an underworld song.

[big screen satellite]

that DA3D t-shirt - is a custom made one using 'the click n create' transfers offered a while back on the merchandising site...

and Darth, no one was complaining about you offering the Hump (or even thought that you were faking), i have it as a collector, but there are certainly many people here who will buy it from you, especially lloyd...he's yer man ;)

[Haagen Darth]

@big screen satellitesorry didn´t get you joke... maybe because i am no native speaker :)

anyway if you have this record too, can you tell me does yours have carvings?
on A side: doog man goo woof on B side 2001 +a+ Plum and porkey prime cut?

kind regards from Hamburg

no probs - glad to have you on board (especially if you are a star wars fan?)

yeah it's the same one by my reckoning, if it has all of those etchings and details....

[lloyd]

Still interested in selling it Haagen Darth?

[ultradave]

been scouring the web for a copy of this and the only one available is for sale on Discogs.com for $402.38 (http://www.discogs.com/Underworld-Mother-Earth-The-Hump/release/126592) ... it's been up there for a while. not sure anyone in their right mind would pay that much for vinyl rated VG instead of MINT.

at any rate, if anyone has a copy they'd be willing to part with for something less than excessive, let me know.

wow, talk about bringing back threads from the dead!

i know the vinyl kick can be addicting once you get it!

well, considering there were only 500 copies, ok maybe 497 (i think
i read 3 were messed up)... i know that when i tried to get one off
ebay, the seller said it was broken, but had another copy, which is
the one i ended up with..

mine is VG condition, with one minor scratch on the b-side i think.

i have no idea how much it is worth, or if/when i would sell it.
there are 37 other people that have this listed at discogs,
and if you're serious you should try contacting them.

but this is one of the hardest and rarest to find releases from them period.

i know they have a few more limited promos out there,
like the 'confusion the waitress (remix)' acetate,
but since this is one of the first for 'underworld' mk2, it has more of a historical
significance and should be more valuable.

i do agree on this - which is why i'm finally starting to hunt for it. i do kick myself now because i could have gotten a copy for about $105US about 2 years ago...

i think i just have to wait for one of the 497 individuals who have a copy to pass it on...:cool:

[Dirty0900]

I'm one of the 497 owners and gave Mike some money for it. Well worth it for the condition and history of the rekkid.

[dubnobasswithme]

One of the 497 is up on my wall. Scored it for 50 UKP from htfr.com back in 2003 if I recall correctly.

I think its still too much...
I got my copy last year for £ 84.99...
Seriously £ 150 is too much in my honest oppinion.

[ultradave]

Seriously £ 150 is too much in my honest opinion.

I totally agree. Honestly, I think the value on this should be around $150-175USD. I can't see myself paying over $200USD for it, although I really would like to get a copy.

[TheBang]

Yeah, most copies recently have gone for about £100, so I think that's a good going rate for it.

[ultradave]

contact the seller with an offer..

i did. just waiting to see if the seller will accept. for all i know, the seller could be the same bloke that offered it to me from the forum, but has since vanished... :eek:

[TheBang]

Not the same person.

[ultradave]

Not the same person.

i know... i was just being silly. :D

[TheBang]

Oh, I just got mine today. It's absolutely gorgeous. You're going to be really happy when you get yours, ultradave.

[ultradave]

Congrats! It does look immaculate. I received my tracking number today. Should be receiving it in about 5-7 days. I am even more excited now! :D

btw - what weight is the vinyl?

I dunno, do I just weigh it, lol? The scale says 155 g.

Well, OK, so I recently decided that my Underworld collection needed expanding, and so I started considered obtaining releases that I hadn't previously considered, including this one. So, I was watching prices on auctions and other marketplaces for a couple months and determined that £100 was about the current going rate for a good copy.

A week ago, I happened on a closed eBay UK auction that no one had bid on. The guy had related the history of the record in the auction description. Basically, the seller worked in a record store in the 90's, and Rick had come by selling them, asking that the stores "sell them to the big DJ's". The guy bought 5 copies for himself, one to listen to, and 4 to go into storage. He sold off 2 of them a few years ago, but now he's hard up for money, so he decided to sell this mint, unplayed copy.

The auction had closed with no bids at £100. I sent him a message and worked out a private sale for £110. He mentioned that he was reluctant to sell his last unplayed copy, but was considering it because he needed the money. I knew ultradave had been looking to purchase a copy, because we had been bidding against each other on some recent stuff, so I referred him to the seller. ultradave offered a premium over what I had paid, and the guy relented.

My copy arrived today, and I'm really pleased with it. It's really is gorgeous. Absolutely pristine surfaces. ultradave is going to love his copy when it arrives.

known copies (5/500)... pretty cool..

rick and karl...

Would you be willing to do a clean and loud vinyl transfer? My mp3s are 128s and not the best sound.

[ultradave]

there's 160kbps files around the web you can find easily...

one of the few lucky enough to own a copy, please, the community begs you, make a clean, loud vinyl transfer in high quality so we can enjoy the full 12" too.

thank you

Yeah. Sad but true.

I recently visited this site where all the hard-to-find remixes and longer versions, etc previously only available on long out-of-print releases were available in pristine 320 kbps. You had to pay a buck per track into this paypal account and ALL the proceeds went to a charity of UW's choosing....

... and then I woke up.

[Tendinha]

It was me who was offering Mother Earth 12" to Ultradave and the Bang.
I mentioned it over here some time ago and they both sent me private messages asking about it. After there lucky break, i still have my copy and before i try to sell it on Ebay or Discogs i'm posting here my intentions.

My price still is about 150 Euros, this includes shipping to anywhere in the World with traceable code, if you'd like insure that will cost about 25 euros more. That's about 125 GBP. Bear in mind that 150 Euros was the amount i have paid for it some years ago. Of course my copy isn't mint but it was very well kept and is in excelent condition. It was played very few times by me.

About people asking for quality transfers from the vinyl, i think some years ago, no one dared to ask about that over here right? ;-)

[ultradave]

My price still is about 150 Euros, this includes shipping to anywhere in the World with traceable code, if you'd like insure that will cost about 25 euros more. That's about 125 GBP.

That translates to about $205USD. That isn't a bad price. There are 3 now listed at Discogs, however the cheapest in similar condition is going for about $187GBP shipped, that's just under $300USD... now that's just too much... the other 2 are listed over $300USD shipped :eek:

[TheBang]

The £175.00 copy on Discogs is actually not available. The seller sold that one for £125.00 on eBay last month, but hasn't removed the Discogs listing.

[ultradave]

:D:D Happy Day :D:D

In anticipation I opened a package shipped from overseas in a box covered in brown tape. Inside the box was bubble wrap and plastic bags. Inbetween was a brown eco-friendly padded envelope which contained, yet another envelope made of cardboard. Now what was inside all of this was a mint copy of the Mother Earth 12".

I had to explain to my co-workers who have no idea who underworld are, what it was that I was excited about as I held up this nice shiny black plastic disc.

Unfortunately right now the Numark PT-100 portable record player I have is hardly worthy of this 12" - so it will remain in an unplayed state until I can find worthy equipment. I know there are several replacement needles for this player, BUT, is it worth it to upgrade the needle or invest in a nicer record player? :eek:

[big screen satellite]

i have this at 320kbps if anyone's interested

vinyl is long gone though... nice find for the MINT copies - reckon they are worth £200 really - unplayed super rare - so you have a bargain
