I remember those, and being a little irked/hurt/bemused at not getting one because it seemed like for the selection process they had looked at the top forum posters of the time and sent them out to the top 10 or so, except they skipped over me. I had been vocal that year about not liking the direction things were going (craptacular club remixes for a low fi acoustic based album, shitty half assed 'tour edition' re-release of the album, that sort of stuff) so i've always assumed that's why. That sounds quite pompous really but fuck it, i was a little arrogant at the time :P
Oh i don't feel bad about it anymore! Just at the time i remember being irked/jealous :P I can't remember the email thing, from what i remember it was a spontaneous thing that just appeared in peoples letter boxes one day. There was an email competition i remember but i can't remember what for, only that Kiyu won it.
@nuwebb I'm going through your collection on Discogs and it is MIGHTY. But I must ask, what is the point of buying the same set of songs over and over and over again, if you're not rich?
I bought my Felt Mountain Special Edition on Discogs for 20£, brand new! i found it cheap, when i was looking for this version i don't found it for less than $100, people on eBay are out of their minds. Now Amazon.co.uk is selling the CD again. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00005OBE5/

Here's a thing this thread got me thinking about, I can totally understand collecting records but can't really get my head around having vinyls and not playing them ever!. I might say differently if I owned say the A&M pressing of The Sex Pistols God Save The Queen. There is just something about vinyl that it feels a sacrilege not to play them, even if it is only very occasionally ;)
It's a re-creation Again I live another life My imagination Can't cross the borderline
Depends whats on the vinyl, for example i haven't opened my Seventh Tree 7" singles because i have no desire to hear the remixes that are on the CD anyway played again, ever, in any medium.
