Re: Navigation Improved
What's the story with "Sonic Boom" on the Spectrum 7"? Is that the Spaceman 3 dude?

Pete Kember aka Sonic (Boom) was Spacemen 3 (in my view), he IS Spectrum and also EAR.
RE the lab/spectrum split there is more info at http://www.sonic-boom.info/discography/
There is also a cover art scan of, yep, you guessed it, #5 to be found at http://www.sonic-boom.info/discography/stereolabspectrum-art.jpg
Read the Diggin' for Gold piece on that link - I believe that the Mark mentioned at the end of the piece was the proprietor of Runcible Records (a clever chap, good at self publicity, but nice, a mate of PK and also a contributor to Record Collector's Spacemen, Lab etc listings - not sure what he's up to these days).

A lot of people do.
So, this'll make you sick - quite a few years ago (12 or 13 I think), I heard on the grapevine that Mark went off the Lab BIG time. He had one of the three demos (no cover) that he found himself using as a coaster for his coffee mugs. :-))))
Incidentally, don't let your desire for this item overtake your common sense. The cover art is in sufficient forms on the net for forgers to make use of. Remember, the catalogue number was already in use for the Spectrum Indian Summer release - easy to put a white label on and have the number in the runout, sure there are 4 tracks on one and three on the other but how many people would be any the wiser when in the throes of their greed or drooling over Ebay?

That scan looks more like #3 to me. The number sign looks a little different as well.
I also saw #8 quite a few years back in Vancouver.

Good advice revox. I still don't think I could help myself should one of these present itself. GaryB, don't hold you breath though, I have been looking for one of these for more than 15 years with an open wallet and have had no luck. I have EVERY other release, so it would be nice, but...

Yep, you're right, just zoomed in to 400%, possibly one of Sonic's own copies then, or one of Marks. I heard that the Groop hadn't actually seen one until someone presented them with one at a gig for them to sign (possibly Owen's) - could be wrong. I think that the numbering is totally unimportant though, it's unlikely that the items were numbered as they actually came off the press, the hand written numbering is in a haphazard style (Sonic must have been off his t*ts), his handwriting may be one of the few things that give some evidence of authenticity to the item.

Re: High Resolution Discography UP and Running
Are you putting the reissue Batchelor Pad and Peng! on? Have you read Tim's track by track stuff?
