Re: If Rah
There's a 4 track promo CD with it on ebay for silly money.

Yet again I have to wonder why people who want music on CD are being made to give large amounts of money to random ebay sellers.

Current business model: Band pays for CD, gives it to random person. Random person puts it on ebay for 40 quid. Fan buys it.
Result: Band out of pocket having paid for manufacture of CD. Ebay makes approx 2x normal CD single cost in fees, random person makes a lot more, fan pays ridiculous money.

Rational model: Band pays for CD, Fan gives them money for it. Band makes more, fan spends less, everybody apart from Ebay and random person is better off.

If exclusivity is the problem, just delay posting the CD until after the promotional exclusive period is over. If price is the problem, charge more - the market will obviously bear high costs. If post and packing is the problem, sell subscriptions - 'all 6 promo CD singles for this album, to be posted once the last one is done, 50 quid', done deal.

Re: If Rah
Two more If Rah remixes landed today. Can't find samples online yet.

If Rah (Voiski Remix) - 5:47
If Rah (Voiski Sleepless Remix) - 6:34

"The ever impressive Parisian producer Voiski has created two mind blowing remixes of Underworld’s new single 'If Rah' from their amazing ninth studio album 'Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future’.

Using the vocals effectively in both remixes as he builds up the main assault, to unleash two cracking Techno tracks. Both these remixes are bound to turn up the heat of any dance floor."

I absolutely wish bands would do this...

...and if labels did that in the 90's... man... I would have spent soooo much less money on Depeche Mode singles

Re: If Rah
new order is doing a good job of releasing all the singles on cd/vinyl, with lots
of remixes for 3 so far. they are also releasing stems for 2 tracks and a 2cd
set of the extended mixes for all the tracks, which most of them were on
vinyl (there are 2 mixes that have been changed).

would be nice for underworld to follow suit.

later

Re: If Rah
I don't know what makes for an interesting remix, but I like the Voiski Sleepless Remix of If Rah.

Here is a a deeper look at who is making the money out of the promo CDs (NOT Underworld obiviously!!! ).

Past ebay sales for the "I Exhale" promo CD (2 Tracks)

end date - price - seller
06-04-2016 - £11,49 - luckylarryspromoshack
09-04-2016 - £17,00 - luckylarryspromoshack
12-04-2016 - £10,21 - luckylarryspromoshack
17-04-2016 - £10,50 - luckylarryspromoshack
20-04-2016 - £ 5,88 - luckylarryspromoshack
23-04-2016 - £ 6,56 - luckylarryspromoshack
26-04-2016 - £ 3,53 - luckylarryspromoshack
29-04-2016 - £ 4,24 - luckylarryspromoshack
15-05-2016 - £ 4,19 - kingcinder69


Past ebay sales for the "If Rah" promo CD (4 Tracks)

26-04-2016 - £15,49 - luckylarryspromoshack
29-04-2016 - £21,09 - luckylarryspromoshack
08-05-2016 - £21,87 - luckylarryspromoshack
15-05-2016 - £18,00 - luckylarryspromoshack
17-05-2016 - £39,00 - eazeism
23-05-2016 - £12,50 - eazeism
26-05-2016 - £24,00 - luckylarryspromoshack

As you can see one seller made £169,86 from selling 13 promo CDs at ebay...!! (they were never intented to be used as promos!?)
I can't understand why Underworld doesn't want to make that money?!
I would happily pay them my money for the CDs or a lossless download (at underworldlive.com), but....

Re: If Rah
They do want to make money, they just want to make $100 per shipment of a box set to the US.
