you all are acting like this was released in the uk or the usa or any other country. it wasn't. it was sold by the band on two nights in one place in japan.

i'm fucked off that you guys aren't sharing this. i see myself as an underworld fan. i own every single thing with the world "underworld" written on it that i could get my grubby hands on. and frankly, if underworld had given me the opportunity to buy this, i would have. but i was not given the opportunity, and so i feel that i should be allowed to hear this.

no money from ebay sales goes to the band anyway, so if you buy things from ebay, you are not supporting the band. you are merely putting large sums of money into the pockets of lucky people. not the band.

i had a chat with james murphy from the lcd soundsystem about this. dfa records released a promo-only 3cd boxset, with 2cds mixed by james murphy and 1cd mixed by the juan maclean, and it was promo only cos to clear all the tracks would have cost too much. however, two days ago one copy got onto ebay and sold for 100quid, regardless of how much james told people not to buy it. he's trying to work out a way of sticking the mixes online for people as it happens now anyway, because of the price that the cds went for on ebay.

i digress. frankly, i was never given the opportunity to support the band that i love in buying this cd. all this bullshit about "Why don't we just rip every UW disc we possess and post links on here?" is completely besides the point, because those cds are accessible to the general public.

someone please disagree with me. tell me how i could have flown to japan or something to buy the cds.
