Tracklisting Of Tokyo Gig

[mmm skyscraper]

If there are 7000 copies (see lloyd's blog) floating around this isn't that rare.

Maybe they will release more like this, but available to a wider audience.

why you greedy little... punk-ass!

they've got their memories, i want the sounds

Why don't we just rip every UW disc we possess and post links on here? That would be really awesome wouldn't it? Then everyone would have everything they wanted.

Except... oh...damn... maybe then Rick and Karl wouldn't be able to AFFORD to make the music we love and release it any more, or give us little tidbits for free on their radio shows, or turn a blind eye to the bootlegs floating around...

This is going round and round in circles. Nobody can tell anyone what they can and can't download or share betwen themselves. That is a matter for them alone. But show some BLOODY RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION to the band that treats US with such RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION by not going on and on and on about it on here! Please.

weep on a forum, and you'll find others to do it with you.

it's a bit of a mouthful, maybe that's why it was cut out in oldboy


yeah, i checked ebay a few hours agao. no luck. if it pops up though i might get an account just to nab it.

BB, what are you talking about? i'll spend money. i just want it. i can wait, sure, but i'll make some noise about it.

i am cranky and the internet conducts that energy like a toaster in a pool. i can't help it you know.

I guess my point is I would like the option of buying so that I may support an artist(s) that i want to support. I want to remain faithful. I want to give them my money. If I had the option I would send them a paypal payement right now. I guess all i'm saying (and I hope it doesn't sound whiney) is that I'm trying to do it right.

IF what Yan is saying is true, then I'll have the ability to give em my cashola.

crank!

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.

you just dont get it do you? let me spell it out and be the bad guy once again:

THE DIRTY FORUMS ARE NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN THE PLACE TO DISCUSS THE TRADING OF COMMERCIAL UNDERWORLD RELEASES.

As an additional note, RTSR has traditionally been the place to discuss the trading of bootlegs and old rare promo items. This release is neither.

What you do off this forum is not my business however. If you're desperate to get a copy of this then you can make use of the other wonderful ways of communicating with each other on the internet. But until I am informed otherwise, thats how its gonna be.

Let's just wait and see what happens here.

EDIT: I'm not saying I don't understand your frustration. I too would love to be able to buy a copy right now. This is a special case I know. I also know how devoted you lot are or you wouldn't be here now. That is not the question. The question is how these forums are to be used, and the answer is the one I gave above. I'm sorry but thats just the way it is.

[thee carp dreamer]

for fuck's sake.

how is it that legitimate conversation and arguement about the band whose forum we are in is forbidden, but a 7 page long thread about paul de aragon is perfectly fine?

edit: alright, perhaps i'm not being fair. i'll wait and see like everyone else is...

[GoatSucker]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm going to chip in again...

if underworld had given me the opportunity to buy this

They did. They gave plenty of notice that people going to Electraglide would be able to buy this release, and that it wouldn't be available elsewhere.
Some things in life are not just about money - they are about being there at the right time and place. This is one of them. Deal with it.

Limited releases aren't new to Underworld - most bands have their share of promos and rare items. Just because this is a limited release, doesn't make you automatically entitled to it, no matter how much to want to support the band.
