The legal position is that they cant commercially sell them outside of the halls of Electraglide, simple as that. Its entirely feasible that the unsold CDs were returned to the Tomato offices in the UK.

which goes to show you cant please all of the people all of the time. As for being told about it ahead of time, i was told about it by Karl via his underworldlive.com picture to keep an eye on ebay. I was looking every day and spotted that they were on sale. In fact, I even said to myself that these must be more people bootlegging it again. 6 copies of the 10 had already gone and I got one of the last 4 and told the dirties in close proximity to me to get the other three. I'm just the person who cleans the shit up around here and I don't get any preferential treatment.
Things are not getting more and more difficult round here in the acquiring of music. With Riverrun you didnt even have to leave the house to buy it. Its just because the Japanese got their exclusives with 2 items. The JAL EP and the Tokyo 3CD, one was to promote Electraglide and the other was a souvenir of Electraglide.
Underworld didnt have to make these CDs available to us, but they gone out of their way to try to make sure that dirties have got them and by and large, they have in 80-90% of the cases. I suspect that if you dont get one next week it will be either because you didnt get out of bed in time
again, or are still here moaning.
