UWRLIVECD-002

[the real stuff]

I wish these college days were over already and I had a disposable income ... sigh. I'll carefully choose one and be pleased to pieces over it. (so glad they're doing this )

[Flywaver]

Just got back from the Norwich gig and no CD there.
Can't remember the playlist totally
Only downside was no Glambucket.
The upside.........Dirty Epic, Beautiful Bigmouth Burnout!?
YOU DO SCRIBBLE!!!!

We are honoured to be working with the legendary Underworld to produce a series of limited edition live CD recordings from their current world tour.

G.

The words "limited edition" are scaring me. I can't afford a CD right now after seeing them in NY and ordering OWB. But how limited are these limited CD's...and give me my paycheck ASAP.

It'll be tough to make a choice about what CD i should get.

[Ufotofu]

They played You Do Scribble, Dirty Epic, and something Bigmouth-like at Norwich?

Wow!

[dc_04]

sounds like an amazing show!

gutted there's no official recording of that one

This is how i'm going to justify ignoring this crap.

Are these CDs in any way being released in co-op by Underworldlive.com.....no? then they aren't real albums, and a waste of my time and money.

just because Underworldlive.com is going to have tracklistings for the gigs up on the sited, doesn't mean they're doing it for the people that bought these CDs. their myspace has tracklistings for the US shows too.

and i don't get this - what are they doing? making the CDs of the show at the show? these things aren't CDRs are they. i hope the f*ck not. how do you buy a real pressed 2xCD pack of the show you were at right after it ends? there's a time frame issue problem here.

[King of Snake]

if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's very simple.
Personally I don't see what you're complaining about. Don't you want high quality underworld live recordings directly after the show?
I guess they're a bit pricey though...

How can you say they "aren't real albums"? It is a co-op between the band, their management and the company that specialises in doing this. Of course it's a "real" album. It's a soundboard recording of the gig.

I'm not sure I get your point here.

Check out their website here. (Not the one linked on the first post of the thread, btw.) It explains what they do and how they position themselves.

Justify your refusal to buy all you want, mate, but so far you haven't convinced me that your "justifications" are all that valid.

These are official Underworld releases. They have underworldlive.com catalog numbers. They have Underworld/Tomato artwork (click on the Buy or Pre-order link for each one to see the artwork).

http://www.underworldlive.com/liverecordings will be in support of these recordings. Tracklistings will be posted there after the fact because the tracklistings aren't known ahead of time in order to be printed to the packaging.

From the FAQ:

Why do you use CD-R discs and not factory pressed 'silver' CDs?
We use CDR Media as it is impossible to 'factory press' the CDs in under 10 minutes. Aside from the problem that CD presses are precision equipment and would not react well to going on tour, CD replication in a factory requires the production of a glass master, a process which can take several hours. The CDR Media we use are Taiyo Yuden. They are of the highest quality, and excel in the areas of audio quality and longevity and error rate. For some info on CDR quality go to http://www.cdmediaworld.com.

$30 US is a bit much, so i'll pick one or two of them with the more tantalizing setlists.

The BIG question is, how long will they be available for purchase on the website? Does anybody know?

I'd really like to see the setlists from some of the upcoming gigs before making my decision...
