Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
could be an experiment for now..
just to see how it works..

i used to help out with the
website for the band 'kmfdm'
(an industrial rock group)..

and they experimented with
selling items via their website,
and also used ebay....for some
things it was better to use ebay,
and for other items it was better
to use their own website directly..
they ended up having a totally
different site, the kmfdm store
just to buy things...

we'll have to see how it works out..

later

IMO it would be (and perhaps is anyways) a bit of cheating UWs japanese fans: they bought an "exclusive" item directly at the gig! if it would be sold on uwlive it would be an official release and thus a) cheating the fans b) count as an "full live album" that would be hyped by the press and all...

so as i see it: selling a few copies over ebay is just for helping out us die-hard fans (after all: the hints to look on ebay were only ever on karls diary & the member section - and here of course), to spare anyone of us buying the waaaay overpriced copies.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
Hey gang - Thought I'd show you guys this - I found a live album on ebay called "Wonderful Wonderful" dont know if it's a bootleg or not, but to be honest, knowing the seller "Second Sounds" they're an actual store, so im guessing this could be the real deal and we just dont know about it??

Anyway - I put a bid on it just to see what the deal was, but all you collectors feel free to outbid, i just wanted to see what it was...

I guess that the seller may have another 100-200 copies.
But i'm really hoping for single auctions that run over the whole day so that everyone gets a chance!
That would be nice. I do have a life I try to attend occasionaly rather than spending days at a time waiting for that 1 hour window to pick up a disc from ebay.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
Wonderful Wonderful is a bootleg with dodgy artwork. I can't remember for now what gig it was, one of the german ones I think. This was sold on recordfairs a few years back. I never was tempted to buy it. I believe it was by the same bootleg label that did the B-side cds.

I agree - don't forget dirtyradio broadcast the set repeatedly and now we're given the chance - with prior warning - to get packaged CDs. Even if neither opportunity had presented itself, I could have been sanguine: this recording will mean more to Japanese fans who were at (or couldn't make it to) this gig, and would have written it off as such because I'm not an obsessive must-have-it-all fan. I did really want this one though, and went out of my way to get it.

I sympathise with you time-displaced dirts though. Given the demand, this is difficult for you.

oh im sorry that I didnt message everyone here personally about the availability of a handful of cds.

You know what? I told all the dirts i know. and they bought them. I think I did a good job.

Get the hell off my back.

Feel the love? Gimme a break. I told who I know and they bought them. I feel good because the Dirts I know bought the CDs. I couldnt have done any more. I didnt have any more knowledge about this than you did.

Karl himself told you to watch ebay and i was one of the people doing so. Of the initial 20 on sale, 13 at least went to people belonging to this forum. I think I did a good job. If you want to bitch to me because I didnt tell you personally then thats your problem.

I didnt have any inside knowledge of this and I was one of the lucky ones because I was browsing ebay at the time. If you want one I suggest you keep looking at ebay instead of complaining about the lack of "dirty love".

All I can say is, keep watching ebay.

My personal view, is that they cant legally sell them thru underworldlive.com so this is the next best thing.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
hey stimpee,

no worries here... yeah - it's a bummer - and yeah i'd really love to get my mitts on one of them - but it's an aimless frustration - and i can't see how or why it would be directed at any one in particular...

it's cool that there are some extras to sell - and it's just a fact of life that you can't always get what you want...

i'm just hoping if they have more to sell that I am not in the middle of my r.e.m. state when they go on sale next time...

cheers - rik
