ebay tokyo cd's to be listed tomorow..

[TheBang]

Just to add a little info here. Please read this on the official Electraglide site about the Underworld recording:

Of particular note, "The 3CD set will only be made available to fans who have attended Electraglide 2005 and will not be available at any other time or from any other source."

The "hoops" I had to jump through to get this set were really very minor in consideration of the fact that this set was really only supposed to be available to people who attended the show. I did not have to go to Japan for the show, nor did I have to pay an exorbitant amount to someone who did make them part with their one copy (note the "one 3CD set per person" limitation).

Yes, you have to make some effort to get one. I even wrote a script that scraped the eBay pages every minute and paged me when one showed up. But for such a super limited set with such a great quality recording, it was worth the effort to me.

I am grateful every time I play it that the band made these leftovers available at original list price (approx. $30US), under the table, to the super hardcore fans. I'm tired of hearing complaints that the whole thing is so confusing and convoluted. If you actually put a little effort into it, it's not that hard. And right now, it's not exactly rocket science to get one:

1. Yannick posts that 50 copies will be available first-come, first-served on eBay at a fixed price at a specific time.
2. You log on to eBay at said time and purchase one.

I mean, how hard is that?

Finally, as to the number pressed, I had heard 7500 copies from somewhere, but don't remember where or if that source is reliable.
