Underworld cover 'Baby Wants To Ride'

[Mike]

The UK 4 Track Promo CD sold for £73 on eBay yesterday. I missed out on an auction a few weeks ago where it sold for just under £10.

Surely this has to be the most anyone would pay for a CDR Promo?

Well certainly by the time postage had been added on, £16 felt like a lot of money, but it did occur to me at the time that I could cancel and just get the downloads for £1 per track (or less for all four tracks). I agree that it would have been nice to get the downloads as a reward for shelling out £16, but they didn't say that we would. It seemed pretty clear to me that I would have to buy the downloads separately, (which so far I haven't done). The long wait for the vinyl also didn't help in terms of getting gratification for your cash. I wonder if they held off so that they could get "the first No1 in the new vinyl chart" as per this Underworld tweet yesterday, https://twitter.com/underworldlive/s...648?lang=en-gb. (I've tried to google the chart - there's lots of stuff for "Q1 2015" sales, but I'm struggling to find the exact chart that the tweet referred to. Bored looking now...)

I'm not sure we can complain that the things arrived on Saturday when we weren't meant to get them til Monday.

Following on from above, here's a little 'thing' about the vinyl singles chart with a quote from Karl about selling 12"s from the back of a car: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-...passing__8918/ And here's the elusive chart I was looking for in my previous post: http://www.officialcharts.com/charts...singles-chart/

Yeah, it does seem quite high for CD-r promo auctions in recent memory.

I think it had more to do with the lead times for vinyl manufacturing. It seems like they released it (the digital files) fairly quickly after the track was completed, but vinyl manufacturing takes quite a bit of additional lead time before being ready.
