Thanks for the heads up, BSS. I'll keep that in mind when I go hunting for a copy of this compilation.

BTW, the only Underworld rarity that I can lay claim to is the Scandinavian 6-track Dark & Long CD single. Do you have it?

if thats the one on April records then off course...there are two Uk 4 track Dark & Long CDs too...but the 6 tracker is the one to get...

Yep, that's the one. I found it in a used cd store in London a couple of months ago for three pounds. I didn't really know what it was, but I figured the three pounds couldn't hurt me too much if it turned out it was a turd.

Think the german one has a longer version of Moaner[?????????????]

[big screen satellite]

well there are several versions of the Anthology:

the UK promo CD:

which contains different track times (as mentioned previously) and running order of tracks: Pearls Girl comes before Born Slippy Nuxx on disc 2

the German promo CD:

as deatiled already (this is the same as the argentinian CD release)

the UK commercial released CD:

this comes in two package types and i assume both are the same in terms of tracks...which are different to the UK promo (one jewel case one limited card case). This CD is the same CD as issued in Taiwan

the Japanese commercial released CD:

there are two versions in Japan - a double CD set - which may or may not be the same as the UK commercial release and the same set but one that comes with the bonus dvd of 5 videos (i don't have either of these commercial versions so don't know what the track lengths are)

the Japanese promo CD:

this is actually the same as the German promo with the longer version of Jumbo....and it is quite possible that the Japanese commercial releases have the longer Jumbo on them...so if you have a Japanese commercial release check it out for a 9:12 version of Jumbo

the UK vinyl box set:

i have not been able to check the times of the vinyl yet...but assume they to be similar to the UK commercial CD, although it may be that some of the tracks have been edited to fit two per side of the 4 vinyls (such as mmm skyscraper?)

the US commercial released CD:

i have not come across a US version of this CD but they do exist and assume again that they are the same as the UK commercial versions...

but if anyone knows any different let me know...

( i do have a spreadsheet of the times of all the formats that i have which details all 6 Cd's and the vinyl )

its too expansive to fit on a website but if you want a copy i can email it to you - pm...(its very dull )

cheers

Collectable # 6: Underworld - Everything Everything HMV AVCD Sampler (Universal / V2) (No Cat Number)

Tracks:

1. Computer Data Not Readable
2. Cowgirl (music video)
3. Push Upstairs (music video)
4. Everything Everything - DVD EPK
5. Cowgirl (bedrock mix) - 11:30
6. Cowgirl (futureshock mix) - 9:30

This is an odd little promo item which i think came from Japan. Its an instore HMV item - issued to HMV stores in Japan to promote the forthcoming album, afaik.

It comes in a sealed paper sleeve, with a titled sticker on the back and it features the above tracks.

Now its nice to have the cowgirl and push upstairs videos on digital format, but i can't seem to access the files on this CD, so cannot be sure what videos these are (they may be the live versions from EE or just the originals). (i'm not sure what format they are in - so if i can access them, i will get back to you).

The Everything Everything DVD EPK was available with the UK EE promo interview disc CD. (This is a simple DVD Electronic Press Kit - basically detailing the bands history, and promotional stuff for the EE release).

The audio tracks and the uniqueness of the packaging are what really makes this CD important for this rare Underworld item.

The exact same Bedrock remix of Cowgirl is available on the Cowgirl Live CD single set, as is a version of the Futureshock remix at 8:26 long. However the Futureshock version on here is 9:30 long and is only otherwise found on the very rare UK 3 track promo CD single.

If you do come across one of these little items its worth picking up, just for the sheer oddness of its existence, with its HMV graphics on the disc & sticker.

There were very few Everything Everything promo items, apart from the UK Interview CD, the Cowgirl credit card sized CD rom and this - nothing else appeared as far as i know (there are a few paper items, posters, stickers, flyers, t-shirts, bags etc, but not much else in respect of 'musical' items).


Year of Release: 2000

Current Price: £15+

Desirability: 6/10 - everything on here can be acquired elsewhere, but as a package together its quite nice...and if you can't get the 9:30 version of Futureshock's Cowgirl on the UK CD promo - this is another outlet for it. And the (HMV) artwork on the disc (and sticker) is different to anything that you may have in your Underworld collection already. Its just unique in its existence.

Availability: 3/10 - i've not seen any others of these, but assume that there must be one for each HMV store in Japan....don't know how many that is or if any more got 'released' to the public...i got mine off ebay...but i think its pretty rare. Try and find it if you can.

Thx Matt for info about anthology, i now can see how the things are...
That EE sampler, totally rare...

[Dirty0900]

Is the EE promo radio interview thing and DVD teaser rare? I have that

[thee carp dreamer]

regarding the razormaid! stuff...

i always thought they were merely bootleggers. i mean, their remixes are nothing more than cut-up and mashed up versions of the original tracks...i have a few of their cds, including one with a leftfield track (original, i think), and the mix is just a couple of the versions of "original" mashed together...

i don't think they were ever a serious remixing team, really...
