(Edit - just noticed it's been there for over 2 years...)

I just got a VG+ copy about a month ago for $24 shipped! So yeah, that is pretty hefty...

[joethelion]

I was going to say that remix 12" of "Confusion..." but I thought... nah - I should let BSS mention it

...you still have that don't you, right?

as far as other rare things...

what about those Italian KOS remixes... although - those don't seem to be as well 'known' (which, in theory could negatively effect the price)

or the "Rick's Bungalow" mixes of KOS as well

[negative1]

acetates by their very nature are rare..

most of the king of snake vinyl versions show
up pretty cheap, and the italian one isn't that hard
to find..

i think the juanita German promo 12" is pretty rare too..
(although there are several copies for low prices at
discogs)...so maybe its NOT that RARE.. i just
didn't see it come up much...

[joethelion]

oh - yea... I guess the Italian KOS 12" isn't that rare... I just haven't seen it (or is it the cd version of that, is the rare thing?)

...hmmm... I know I've got the white vinyl of "Cowgirl" and that's 'kinda hard to find sometimes'
but certainly not on the same level as Mother Earth, Rez/Why Why Why, or that 12" with the long version of Rowla...


...which reminds me... if anyone's got an mp3 of that long version it'd be MUCH appreciated. I haven't heard it for ... god... it seriously has been over ten years!!!

Yeah, the CD of it is the really rare one.

I'm reviving this question because it's always bugged me. I actually saw a review of Spoonman in a UK dance mag back in the day, and recall Karl also telling me they would take some white labels to the record stores near their Soho office. I wonder if they may have just made up a batch of these to get some interest in the album which was either just out or imminent. Anyway I trudged around every record store I could find around their offices the very next day and got either the "never heard of it" of "all gone mate" answer (which could also mean they never heard of it either). Would be a good question to ask R+K on the next radio show as to whether this mythical beast really did exist, or if I just wasted my shoe leather.

wasted shoe leather always provides a good story though, so it's not really wasted.

Someone was talking about Banstyle being a single... It would def make sense by the usual 3 single standard per LP, but to take out Sappys Curry.... That whole composition is brilliant.

Of course a single running over 15min wouldn't make the cut. How would you edit that for radio?
