being a long term fan myself, i have never had trouble getting anything i wanted, in days gone by i did scour the sites and web for everything, in fact i used to go to shops, when they existed and sold promos...and paid at a real counter!
now , i too have family, wife kids, FT job, and don't buy any Underworld stuff, for a number of reasons,
1. cost - i spent way too much early on, and i spend my hard earned on my kids now...
2. time - i don't have time togo and search for limited cd promos / vinyls any more,
3. space - i don't have space or the inclination to buy material anymore (i did pay out for barking though
)
that aside, and this is the main point, i still have every version of everything by Underworld i want on digital file, i cannot condone file sharing per se, but it is still easy to get hold of stuff, a little searching & asking can reap rewards, i know band are never gonna please all the fans all the time, but believe me they are not intentionally making it hard to buy stuff...
they too have wives, kids, FT jobs
