for those of you in the Bay Area, CDW now has the Japanese boxed set and two copies of PASSING THROUGH AIR. the former has a sticker price of $145 and the latter is $49 which i thought was pretty damned expensive, but i thought i'd let y'all know anyways. hasta. --d -- Yes. Beautiful, wonderful nature. Hear it sing to us: *snap* Yes. natURE.

>CDW now has [...] two copies of PASSING THROUGH AIR. >The latter is $49 which i thought was pretty damned expensive, >hasta. --d Oof. This *is* pretty damned expensive! I paid $30 for my copy, which was what I paid for _If You Could See Me Fly_. On the other hand, out of 19 tracks on _IYCSMF_, 14 were songs I'd never heard before in any form (the others are demos of various songs). That CD is ~45 minutes as I recall. _PTA_, on the other hand only has 6 tracks (out of 13) that don't show up as polished versions on actual releases. _PTA_ is only about 37 minutes long. On the other hand, it *does* have "Another Day," the quality of which is pretty bad, but the song is just so amazing that it's easy to overlook. Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.

d noted the two _PTA_ CDs at Compact Disc Warehouse (in Sunnyvale on El Camino). I saw those on Saturday night, and frankly couldn't believe: 1) The price. Granted, it's the most valuable item in that store at the moment (in terms of pure music magic, that is), but I have to wonder if they'll ever sell th at that price. 2) The fact that they were even there. I've never seen boots at CDW before. I'm sure someone there knows that they are boots, as well. I remember there being a sign stuck to each saying something like: "These songs are not typical CD quality. No refunds or exchanges." I wanted to talk with the clerks about them, but it was 6 minutes past closing time, and they were busy trying to kick people out of the store. Of course, if any Love-Hound would like one, let me know, and I'll go see if one's still there. It _is_ pretty damned expensive, though don't you know... Larry (l-h@cup.portal.com)

I'm sure someone there knows that they are boots, as well. actually, they've had boots before. i bought two Joy Division boots from them (for $20 ea.) a year or so back. every once in a while, Chris finds someone selling them and orders a few. i know he knows they are bootlegs. what i don't understand is why he's started hiking up his prices lately. > I remember there being a sign stuck to each saying something like: > "These songs are not typical CD quality. No refunds or exchanges." the reason why he puts such a vague message on is because they've been in trouble with the feds before for plain old paralell importing. remember about two years back? they got hit and scared for a while. they're more cautious now. they figure that if you know about the bootleg, then you know what you're looking at and if you don't, then that's just as well for them. hasta. --d -- Yes.
