Of course >this display is clutter, so it s a constant battle. they say everyone has a double, and i just met mine! how do you do, philip? i have the cluttered display of "where do these go" items, and i have my music subdivided into standard packaging (subdivided into jazz, classical, and rock-subdivided into factory records, 4ad, and everything else) and special packaging (being about 99% independent project records). my wife thinks i'm nuts, but that's probably what she loves about me ;o) - -paul c.d. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 10:20:45 +0200 From: "giluz" Subject: RE: [idealcopy] Re: The collector's dilemma > Giluz said: "Don't get me wrong I value my Wire vinyls, or any other rare > item in my collection, but I wouldn't buy them for thieir rareness, just > for the plain fact that I don't have that recording in my collection" > > //// Aaah, but completism doesn't necessarily equate to rareness, it's > just that the thrill of the chase eventually focuses on the hard to get > items because that's all that left after you get the easy ones. To the > true collector perhaps the worst thing is to actually complete the set: > what do you do then?? I agree with that - I do tend to get anything released by artists that I like. I just can't be bothered with the bootlegs and rarities - time's too short and there are too many good things (and not enough money) for me to mess with it. giluz ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 00:39:29 -0700 (PDT) From: kevin eden Subject: [idealcopy] MICHAEL O'SHEA The Michael O'Shea CD is now in stock and ready to despatch to UK and Europe orders.

Video 586 was released on CD at the same time as the 12", first in a digipack (as Touch TONE 7) then reissued in a jewel case (Touch TONE 7.2). "As You Said" is, as you said (har har), the b-side of the 12", but it's also in the Heart and Soul box set on disc 3. More than you wanted to know, probably. ;) The a-side is probably the closest New Order ever came to Dome, I guess. - -- Jason Borchers ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 01:06:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Rick Hindman Subject: [idealcopy] For the 1st time...again! I was recently reading through the letters on 'Wir on Headphones' (yeah, I'm kind of behind!) and they made me want to pass on the following... When Wire played in Edinburgh, someone had wondered about "Advantage in Height" being in the setlist. I thought the same thing... I had considered it a so-so song at best.... My mind was changed when I got "It's all in the Brochure"!! The live version floored me!!! From that 'Miserlou-esque' intro and the insane bass line, I have listened to it constantly ever since! Tack on those versions of "Another the Letter" and "12XU" and that is one of the deadliest live sets I've heard in years!! yeeehaw!!!!
