And the next time you are selling something, please make sure you sell it for half of what it is worth so you don't feel like a hypocrite. I for one (I am guessing I'd have support on this one) would like to get as much as possible for things I am selling. If someone bids 800 pounds for it, I will not feel bad in the least selling it to them.
In whatever format I have my Stereolab music, I do not sell it. I don't buy to sell and I don't sell to buy. Never have, never will. I buy it because, mostly, I love it.
That I love, I keep.
Although I don't like to use the word 'fan', for me the word sits uncomfortably with what I feel Stereolab are about, I suppose that that is what I am. I have a great deal to thank the groop for, not least rekindling my waned interest in music when they 'fledged', so to speak.
The Stunning Debut Album Multicoloured vinyl 7" single for sale is one of a supposed 200 in the world.
Minus the one on Ebay, that leaves 199 copies. Let's say that 3 may have been lost in fires (forbid) and even if some copies have been stolen then at least the thief owns them.
The notion that a copy has been thrown at an unfaithful boyfriend or girlfriend, it has missed, and drifted through the window of an apartment overlooking the Seine, to be lost forever in the river's murky depths, is a romantic one, but unlikely.
So, let's say there are 197 copies. Has anyone here lined up 200 7" singles? That's a lot of copies, even if they are distributed around the globe.
Now, let's look at the 'myth'.
It's interesting, the Multicoloured vinyl copies are actually the FIRST PRESSING.
Why don't most people pick up on that?
The myth clearly states that the single was pressed on Multicoloured vinyl - no mention of clear vinyl - but, because the colour was wrong and it had a warp (where? I've seen more warp in the first 5 minutes of a Star Trek episode), '200 copies were taken by a friend to France and THE REST WERE DESTROYED'.
So, bearing in mind that a further 985 copies were pressed on clear vinyl (which would then make that the SECOND PRESSING), does that mean that 985 copies of the FIRST PRESSING were done on Multicoloured vinyl? Does that mean that 785 Multicoloured copies were "DESTROYED", or were there fewer than that, why don't people pick up on that?
Anyway, as for the rest of your response to what you think I've 'accused' you of, there is always the forum's search option to check out previous posts and jog your memory, I'm going to finish by taking the liberty of quoting one of the forum's other users, Eddie Chargeman, posted under the Stereolab Ringtone Options (hope you don't mind EC)...

Perfect.
