Re: collectors' corner
 

I think all of those are on Discogs already, except for the Remix one. I have better (non-blurry) pictures of the Remix tape that you uploaded to RTSR a long time ago.

Re: collectors' corner
 

here's a brief overview of some of the deluxe editions of the albums.
(not pictured Japanese 2cd+3 track second toughest in the infants).

Also some promos:

Re: collectors' corner
 

Did all of the Riverrun EP's come in unmixed promos or only this one?

Re: collectors' corner
 

I believe this is the only one, which is kinda why I didn't buy if myself. It would just set my OCD off to want ALL of Riverrun unmixed lol.

Re: collectors' corner
 

LOL. Very true, but I also kinda really want them, at least in digital so I could play them seperately.. but then again, they flow very nicely mixed as well :)

Re: collectors' corner
 

Snagged the dubno Blu-ray for $27.67 from here on eBay. It's legit, sealed, has download code, etc. He's raised the price a little to $30.97 shipped in the US but still seems reasonable? I never picked it up on release. I'm seeing it for $30-$65 shipped from China and Croatia on Discogs.

Re: collectors' corner
 

finally got the barking cd and dvd PAL version:

Re: collectors' corner
 

Any idea who picked up the Lovely Broken Thing Promo? I was on that like a shot and missed it.

Re: collectors' corner
 

I know it's been 7 years, and this may have been posted somewhere, but since the dubno box I just got is sealed, it has an unused download code. Any chance we can we redeem somewhere?

Re: collectors' corner
 

Try this thread and let us know if it works.

Re: collectors' corner
 

Thanks. Have the same issue DarkDrums had. Site's not passing the correct cookie/query string. :/

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

The nature of vinyl pressing means even pressings from the same plant can differ wildly, some labels will prefer to use Optimal, or MPO, or GZ in Europe, but there's others too. Some will swear by one or the other, but in my experience there's no reall noticeable difference between them (appreciate that contradicts my first statement somewhat).

A lot of it comes down to the mastering or cut which can have a huge impact on the final press.

Most of the cost in a box set will be in it's packaging - not everything goes up in value on the second hand market and sellers will sometimes have a surplus of titles (especially box sets which can take up a lot of space) they prefer to move on at nearer cost price rather than waiting for it to sell at full price. Of course some box sets will go up in value hugely, but there's no real science to predict what will or won't, but you can often make an educated guess as to what might increase in value.

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

thanks for that.

i've noticed with cd boxsets, most have stayed flat with their prices, compared to their original prices. now granted, i don't have the 'barbara barbara' one, which i will be getting. but i'm ok with whatever price its going for, because it was more limited.

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

Some fool paid $52 for the Barking box.

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

some of those are overpriced. i wouldn't pay over $50 for the barbara barbara
one, because i can't stand that album. but will probably end up paying more
just to have it, and never play it.

someone paid over $200 for the original drift boxset, its not worth that much either.
i think i paid like $80 for it used.

but thats what collectors do.

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

Bloody hell, I'd love to have enough money to justify buying music I won't even play!

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

to be fair, i have everything legit, as digital files.

so that's why nowadays i don't bother opening up most of the
releases i buy. unless there's a book, booklet or something else
besides music in there.

Re: Drop #3 - Cowgirl Limited Drop
 

With only 400 copies made, you'll pay a pretty penny if you want to own one.

Yes, well, it spiked for a while when it sold out in the distribution channel just a month or two after release, and there was no indication of any more physical product coming. Prices cratered after the affordable Complete box set was announced.

Re: collectors' corner
 

I just got the Beaucoup box set for £35 on eBay.

Still need the STITI one.

Re: collectors' corner
 

For a while those STITI and BF ones were hard to get. Maybe I should have waited. Still, I with the prices on the Barbara set would drop, that's the only one I'm missing.

Also - it's probably been said a million times but man oh man I can't wait for the Oblivion box set, especially if they bring in the RiverRun material.

Re: collectors' corner
 

A Hundred Days Off could be interesting.

I have the DVD case promo (somewhere) which had a lot of alternative artwork not in the official release. Some of the b sides released could also go there. The last proper album where b sides were a thing.

Re: collectors' corner
 

Yeah, it had far more b-sides than Beaucoup Fish.
Karl did mention the fact that a second Drift boxset might get in the way of the AHDO box, so it's definitely still on the radar. Probably be next year for the 20th anniversary, although I can't help thinking the pandemic would be a great time to go through the archives and put together a really good boxset.

Re: collectors' corner
 

Oh, interesting, I didn't realize that existed. It looks like they chopped up and trimmed the track order. I would've maybe considered getting it if the price weren't so exorbitant. It looks like that bootleg label put out another UW vinyl of bootleg remixes too:

https://www.discogs.com/Underworld-U...elease/2187074

Re: collectors' corner
 

Bootleg Babies was such a quality production, I can see why it'd be a sought after collectible. But it's lame that someone is trying to profit from it.
Boots have been traded and sold forever, and I guess no one but the original artist has the rights to the music. Traders etiquette suggests you don't sell and many artists are cool with the hardcore fans trading. But this one, bootleg Babies, was more of a fair use recreation of a gig. Lots of effort and expertise. I guess if anything is on the internet, it's impossible to preserve intellectual property or control distribution.

Around 2001 when I found this forum (well, the old version) and was really discovering the band, I downloaded all the fan remixes and burnt them to CDR. Can't say it was a great hi fi listening experience. Now they're on vinyl, so the pops and clicks accentuate the low bitrate glitches! My own AVID remixes from that time, using freeware and dubious techniques have appeared....cool to say they're on vinyl, but again, who would pay for this? I guess if you were just discovering the band like I did 20 years ago, you'd be excited to hear something rare and you wouldn't know their free origins. 5 seconds on Google should tell you something about the obscurity of those remixers!

Re: collectors' corner
 

I would love a 6LP colored vinyl set, or something lathe cut.

there's a ton of cool new order bootlegs:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5QcAA...TLZ/s-l500.jpg

I think that would be pretty cool. But anyways.

Dear collectors,

Now YOU can look just like Karl Hyde!

Sorry, this just popped up as an ad on Instagram. Karl really loves his black and white striped shirts as he has many variations it seems.
