owch...this acetate tastes funny...

[big screen satellite]

so i checked them out fully (and now i've made a bid)... and well, as dodgy as they actually look they are kinda neat if they are UW designed...especially if they come with the action man...

so i take it all back about them being piss poor...(its just i expect so much quality from our boys)

it was just the shoddy photo and simplistic listing details that made me initially think these were a piss take...

afterall the listing just says:

Size four, from the singers of born slippy. All proceeds go to the National AIDS trust.

there's no actual authenticity or reason for listing... just a 1 line comment...seemed a bit odd... but as its on the official NAT site... i believe,

but its a bit difficult sellling stuff if you don't advertise well, and your buyers have to check you out before people want to bid

I must admit that the ebay site looks bad indeed. If you want to raise money for charity you should a far better job on it. If I would happen on that page while searching for UW stuff at ebay I don't think I would give it a second look. You atleast expect a bill of authenticity like with movie props.
But.. we all know who's gonna win this auction (if there isn't a company or an artcollector we don't know going to snatch it)
Would it be an idea to chip in by paypal, raise this trust some nice amount and let Matt have this piece of art for his (yet to build) underworld museum? Just an idea...

wow that'd be really nice, i'd rather acquire this for a fan rather than it go to some gallery - in fact if i won it i could put it in a case / box or something and tour it round the dirts like the old dirty box, so that everyone gets to own it for a while, well, everyone who chipped in...

i know its just an idea...but i wouldn't want this to go to someone not interested in the band, if someone does wanna bid against me then fine, thats not a problem, after all its for charidee, but you know its going to a good home if i win it...its not like i'm gonna sell it on...

anyway i'd rather win it for dirty people, and if some help was forthcoming that would also be nice...

The Dirty Epic promo cd (with the Jed the Fish edit) is for sale at eil.com - £25.

[stimpee]

not bad. All of the mixes are from the regular release though, Raj. However, you'd have to buy the UK CD, DVD and 12" to get them all.

I've got the 5-track Japanese issue thats the same except for the missing Atomic Hooligan mix, but this promo and the Japanese issue is the only place to get the London Electricity mix on CD i believe (not counting the other promo with the edited versions on).

Here's a run down of the tracks:

Born Slippy 2003 (RICKS 2003 EDIT) (3:58) - CD/Jap/Promo-CDR/Edit-CDR
