Re: collectors' corner
 

oh and my DM Boots arrived today...

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...

Re: collectors' corner
 

Does anyone know how much a double vinyl white label (with handwritten track titles) pressing of Beacoup Fish is approximately worth? I don't think that many were ever produced.
All the best,
Robin

Re: collectors' corner
 

So, too rich for your blood, Matt? Looks like one of the "shills" won it. Maybe it'll be relisted. :)

Re: collectors' corner
 

I have cd1 of the push upstairs master, is anyone interested, got it about 6-7 years ago on ebay, if you are interested or would like a picture of the item just email me(underworldrob@hotmail.com), my user id on ebay is idtwo if you want to check my reliability and i have traded with yannick also.

Re: collectors' corner
 

well i was away and though better about the price...

i might have bid being here...

i kinda regret not bidding to the max, but then, i need to save up for all these new UW 12" singles that are coming out ;)

Re: collectors' corner
 

new in...

The End - 2 x CD compilation album from 1998 (limited edition with postcards) includes: Way Back - Darren Emerson exclusive track recorded at Underwater studio in 1995 (while he was still in UW)

also

JBO 10 Years Sampler - the same as the red JBO sampler with 8 Ball and Jumbo, except this is the 5 track promo CD-R in plastic wallet - as opposed to the red card sleeved version (never seen this promo version before)

and

Soul II Soul - Volume III - Just Right - LP vinyl... sleeve and inners designed by Tomato (these are nice desined sleeves)

Re: collectors' corner
 

It really exists?
How Way Back sounds like?

Re: collectors' corner
 

yeah its nice... on this album as listed here:

http://www.discogs.com/release/367065

not sure how easy it is to get and i just stumbled across it myself whilst at a record fair...

but its a nice find

Re: collectors' corner
 

This is top shot! Nice find for sure;)

Re: collectors' corner
 

Anyway, since I haven't been able to generate any interest from the usual 'rare second hand records' outlets, I'll probably pop these on ebay at some point soon. I have a letter from JBO to certify that they are genuine.
Robin

Re: collectors' corner
 

check you're private messages...and get back to me

Matt

Re: collectors' corner
 

With a couple of serious collectors here, did you really think they would suggest a price? We're smarter then that. ;)
JBO certified letter to go with it is great. There was an art-opbject not long ago that didn't have any and raised some doubts on realness...

Re: collectors' corner
 

haha...

its only worth what muggins here is willing to pay really... :)

although i didn't win that PU CD set...(hope the winning bidder pays up) but hey, money is not always available everyday of the week...

but authentication is always a clue...

more often than not some people don't care for anything other than the original finished version and some w/l is just not desired, only crazy mad collectors will want this and sometimes they don't wanna get ripped off...

but i am interested in it...

;)

Re: collectors' corner
 

I know you are.
But coming here and making your first post trying to raise an interest for an ebay auction for a collectable and expect us to put a starting price to it.. hmm No wonder no one replied I'd say ;) I did see that post and do collect but was never going to reply.

Re: collectors' corner
 

me either... ;)

i say its worth a fiver at max


if someone said its worth... £100

then it goes on ebay with a £75 reserve or someting... (btw - i'm not saying its worth £100)

anyway, its not like we were ignoring you, but like Lloyd said, a first post selling something is not generally gonna get (m)any replies, even if people really want it...

Re: collectors' corner
 

Sorry - I didn't mean to cause controversy or hard feelings. I genuinely have no idea what the records are worth. I'm honestly not out to make massive amounts of money, since I won them in the first place - I'm more keen for them to go to a good home. If I do put them on ebay, I promise I won't put a crazy reserve price on them!

Re: collectors' corner
 

another arrival yesterday (kinda uw related)

Darren Price - Instigator - 4 track 12" - on intelligence records

trying to get some more of the DP back cat.

Re: collectors' corner
 

This one is actually quite rare, I think
Born Slippy / Rez 12" promo
Cat# LOC 188
Sellers says 500 copies only - don't know if that's true (I have one already, but no info avail).

[Klicken Sie]

Re: collectors' corner
 

yeah i have that, not sure of its limitedness though... it is pretty rare, but its only really for the collectors, as it contains two readily available tracks... and so its not worth forking out loads for it...

[sven_vath] -> _retrospective_
 

well, i really haven't been keeping
up with sven vath,

so i'll be getting this old
1990-1997 retrospective
with these:

Track listing
1. No Fate (Struggle continuous mix) - Zyon
2. My Name Is Barbarella (Deep Dish Armageddon breakdown mix) - Barbarella
3. L'Esperanza
4. Harlequin (The Beauty And The Beast) (Underworld mix)
5. Electro Acupuncture - Astral Pilot
6. Ballet Fusion (radio edit)
7. Vernons Wonderland (The Future) - Vernons
8. Spectrum - Metal Master
9. Accident In Paradise (original mix)

it does have 'harlequin(underworld mix) on it..
but i really want it for the 'deep dish' mix, since
that was only on vinyl..

there's a 2cd set from japan with more mixes
(including the other deep dish mix) on it..

Re: collectors' corner
 

Too rich for my blood right now.

(How long have I been saying that? :rolleyes:)

Re: collectors' corner

Re: collectors' corner
 

Where was I when that March auction went up? :mad:
Almost $200 for this one... woe... (nodding my head)... don't think I can do it... want to... but I just can't right now... :(

Re: collectors' corner
 

more items:

1 x ticket stub from Glasgow Barrowlands dated: 4th March 1999

to add to my ever growing gig guide ticket stub collection!

and also from Emerson, a really hard to find remix - unreleased as far as i know:

Seventeen - Ladytron - 12" promo only

also just arrived is a nice box of Underworld cuttings / clippings from magazines going right back to Freur...just sorting these out now, but there are things going back to the earliest days, including all press type adverts, reviews and clippings - all nice material for my book ;)

i'll let you know whats in there when i get the chance to sort it all out

Re: collectors' corner
 

Riverrun series mp3 cd on ebay
Open to UK bidders only :(
Hard to say if it's genuine, though

Anyway, we already know who's gonna win it... ;)

Re: collectors' corner
 

It looks genuine but surely if it was for promo, each riverrun would be broken down in to its seperate tracks for radio play, i.e. like on Rob Da Banks show when he showcased one riverrun.

Still, how could Im a big sister be on when it aint been released, technically i guess its impossible to leak seeing UW release it themselves.

Re: collectors' corner
 

it looks real, but whats the point of an MP3 CD?
if they were real cd tracks then yeah, it might
be worthwhile...

Re: collectors' corner
 

This really good track. How does the Emerson mix sound like?;)

Nice spot!

Re: collectors' corner
 

can't say i should leave it alone...

it looks pretty genuine - too much of a risk not to bid...

Re: collectors' corner
 

um...

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

which, I bet is why the tracks aren't separated out

Re: collectors' corner
 

Most promos are send out before an official release.

Re: collectors' corner
 

i'd be willing to bet the cost of the final sale that this is a bootleg.

can someone from UW confirm the existence of this promo?

Re: collectors' corner
 

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...

Re: collectors' corner
 

Did someone ask the seller for a pic of the actual cd? Maybe it could clear things up a bit.

Re: collectors' corner
 

agreed

but - I mean, that's one hell of a coincidence that the auction ends on the same day it's readily available as a download know what I mean?

Re: collectors' corner
 

Isn't it "The Riverrun Project", not "The Riverrun Series"?

Smells and looks fakey to me.

Re: collectors' corner
 

http://www.underworldlive.com/index/...ig-sister.html
"...is the third in the riverrun series..."

Look closely at the picture... You can even see the titles printed on the CD... I'd say it's genuine. (or a first-class fake :p)
