i think i need to start using discogs.com
more often...

they have a scan of the front cover of
the 'sunflower' cd..
http://www.discogs.com/release/199825

and here is the 12"
http://www.discogs.com/release/79825

the one i have is more like a white label release..

they even have a scan of the 12" label for
'confusing the sun' w/karl hyde...but its hard to read
http://www.discogs.com/release/68014

right - dug out my cd:

same as the one on discogs

inside the credits read:

produced by QUAZAR
Lyrics SUNFLOWER by Karl Hyde

...

Published by Day-glo Music
except SUNFLOWER Day-glo Music - UNDERWORLD / SHERLOCK HOLMES MUSIC

i think the 12" you have Raj, is the same as mine as it has no credits just QUAZAR Sunflower Moonflower/Starflower on each side

The Confusing the Sun 12" has:

all tracks (i.e. all versions of Confusing the Sun) Written by MG/Hyde
Published by Seven Stars / MCA & Underworld / Sherlock Holmes Music

i also have:QUAZAR - Flightrecorder album

as shown here: http://www.discogs.com/release/37057

and

QUAZAR - Zodiac Trax

as shown here: http://www.discogs.com/release/28232

both of which credit KH & Underworld / Sherlock Holmes Music

(mattval notes: must track down the vinyl versions of these albums)

Hm, that set has every remix on it, eh? Is it legit? The only problem I see is that the Full Length of It edit is 6:09, not 4:34 (the album version).

Even when there's a reserve, I still do the last-second bidding thing to avoid a bidding war. I just e-mail the seller and ask what the reserve is set at, so I know what I need to bid. 90% of the time, they respond and tell you the reserve.

yeah, but if the price hasn't hit the reserve,
and you bid at that price, you can still get
outbid... so that doesn't gain you anything..

also, i've noticed if you try to bid up the price,
when it hasn't reached reserve, it still doesn't
'set' itself at that price...i don't know how to
get around that..

Sure it does. It lets you know the absolute minimum amount you would have to bid in order to win the item. I've seen items where the seller has set an unrealistic reserve, and knowing that ahead of time, I can delete the item from my Watch List and wait for a more reasonable auction to come along.

Assuming the reserve is reasonable, I can determine how high above that I am willing to pay, place my final (and only) bid at the last second, and again, avoid any bidding wars with people who like to bid throughout the auction, thus, hopefully keeping the final price at a minimum above the reserve price.

well the reserve on this one is $100...which is quite high...

but now its been met, its a bidding war...

although i'm always wary of a bidder with '0' feedback rating... could be the buyer bumping the price up, using a friend or someone... but the current highest bidder is on 'zero' feedback... which seems a bit odd
