808 State Discussion

Ive heard of gold discs being played before....as long as the grooves were still grooves

what are you going to do with multiple copies? I could buy a can of gold spray paint and a cheap B&Q frame and knock one up for less than a tenner lol

"Limited to 50 only"

do they really think they would be able to shift that many? LOL

if you took out the disc played it, it would probably be some shitty punk album or something. Not ExEl at all.....!!

Aha, interesting.....so no one owns the rights to the songs?

Still doesnt explain why ZTT and 808 parted company. Anybody know?

I just realised......why would ZTT be able to release Outpost? I have no idea why, but after Pacific 98, the bands releases are not on ZTT (did they jump/were they pushed?). Its not theirs to release, lol....




and speaking of ZTT - i just bought my first Art Of Noise album. How slow i am, this is ...

It makes no difference, record shops are dead anyway. HMV are shrinking their dance section weekly, it halves in size every few months :D
They will not go out of business, but the sale of back-issue albums will make an ever decreasing slice of their profit pie. About two 808 albums a year are sold ...

Personally, i would just love to see the vinyl-only stuff "iPod-ready". Thats the one thing that fascinates me.

Why put US90 tracks on the 90 bonus disc? US90 itself is easy to get hold of, "Kinky National" isnt exactly special enough to get bonus disc status, nor are any of the others.


In fact ...

i just bought a copy of the promo vinyl containing this mix [SAM 702], from gemm.com. Good to finally have it, a decent track - although i guess i was disappointed how little it varied from other versions! I thought it would be much more stripped down....


Also [finally] got the Tommy Boy release ...

highly random topic.....i just wondered what anyone else here thought of this band........

I discovered them a couple of months ago when i heard the track "Lazy Calm" on the Fragile State compilation "Just Got Home". That blew me away, a feeling ive never experienced since hearing Pacific state ...

Happy Be-Be-Be-Belated Birthday Markus!!


man, i really should check this site more......

hahahaha, i outbid that guy for the same CD over a year ago! He's had to endure quite a long wait for his next chance


unlucky to only get $14 for it though, it ought to fetch more....


Harvey

that was the coolest moment ever - it upstaged my housemates who assume the band to be obscure rubbish


Harvey

f**k, i should check ebay more.....i would have put down a 3-figure amount for this if i had seen it :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x


this hurts far more than it did when i lost auctions for the Pacific CD :(


anyway, congrats to the winner.....that is the ultimate 808 item, there is no doubt about it ...

you mean like the "808" on the newbuild cover? That would still make a cool shirt

im yet to hear brown sauce yet.....but i really dont understand why the title has to suck so much. Some of the track titles of late have been terrible. Not that its relevant, but i just thought it was worth mentioning....

does this mean that no more will ever be made? im gonna need to order a new shirt sometime
