They didn't make them around the US in appreciable numbers either.
I'd say most Detroit(-ish) labels still don't (outside of Submerge/Big50
dist.)

Nike's from 1999?  Find me a pair of those water logged, dry them out, and
sell them to someone in Japan!
You think 5,400 pounds is crazy amount

Think you're better off out of it, I remember giving him the Axis 7"pack in

ok, this is good, thanks pete.

we're getting there, we'll have it out soon!

anyway, here's a totally unsubstantiated piece of gossip:

around 3 years or so ago, a mate was telling me a story about it.

He said:

"He didn't like the record, so only a few got out, the rest are sat
somewhere in detroit, either in his basement or a warehouse"

but, I dont wether thats true or not, and I also cant remember if he was
referring to the glass domain or this one

I first heard it about 5-6 years back when played by BMG at the Motor
Lounge. 
I remember asking him about it briefly, and even back then he only knew
one or two other people that had copies. And this is in Detroit, so it
is a bit of a mystery where they all went.?.. BMG might know more. Or
maybe someone who was working at Record Time back then. Was that when
Dan Bell was working?

Just use and anonymous web proxy and anonymous email system and setup

£1,000,000.   Just wondering if it's been confirmed that this was a

well i guess the simple answer is that this is just cos of the curious 
way in which ebay works when people with too much money are pitted 
against one another.


and, as it happened in the UK, and the record didn't make it here in 
appreciable numbers then it's quite (but not stupidly) rare.

This is the 313 techno list, so I thought we should have a discussion about

Something is really bugging me about this record, and I KNOW there's peeps
here who know the answers they just choose to lurk innit.

Anyway.

This record - how can it be so rare?

I can't think how. Surely there's a minimum pressing wherever you go. Also,
this is 'only' 12/13 years old right?

Records that go for this kinda money do so because there's not that many
good condition copies left, and enough time hasn't gone by for them all to
get ruined. This is serious money, the kind funk/soul collectors pay for
one offs. This is no one off really.

It got a release no?

Someone told me it was in record time at the time of its release - I dont
remember it making it to these shores (probably didn't).
So, somewhere, theres a few of these knocking about in theory I guess.
Where are they? I know theres two people on the list who deffo have a copy,
theres probably more - theres a few people who are on the list who never
