I can not understand this as there seems to be a lot of interest in the promo singles.
Underworld could make them some extra money and keep us the fans happy if they would still release their singles on CD, too!


Now someone else makes a lot of money on ebay instead.

speaking as a past die-hard collector... i used to feel that way..

and yeah, it was always puzzling that certain releases didn't get physical
releases... but honestly....why should they bother nowadays?

how long have digital singles been coming out? for at least several years
now right....that's just standard industry practice...

there has ALWAYS been a high interest in PROMOS, that they NEVER
have gotten any money from, so nothing new there...

the most likely thought, is that they will issue some updated 'remix' disc
along with the album in the future (pure speculation)... in japan/europe/etc..
or even digitally.. wouldn't help you, but at least make it easier for people
to get them..

the economics of making the singles as regular releases is too expensive..
for most groups (unless you have a huge fanbase, and very high visibility)..

by the way, of course if you wait a few months, you'll be able to pick up
a lot of these promos for really cheap prices.. i did that with the 'oblivion
with bells' singles... unless you really can't wait, and have a lot of extra
money... just save it and see what happens later on...

Only somewhat true... I have yet to see/get a printed Ring Road single... and don't even see the acetate showing up that much lately (just realized last month that I'd never picked one up and had to wait a few weeks before something showed up on eBay).

I suspect printed ALAF, Scribble and Bird 1 singles will be HARDER, but not impossible, to come by in a few months than some of the OWB singles were.

Here's one that closed just a couple days ago. That's quite a price for it though.

If that's the price, I think I'm fine with my acetate.

I'd been watching it... and thought the same thing... acetate's JUST fine... LOL

I have the acetate too, but i don't like it because the lack of the artwork.
