Follow-up to the Collectibles thread

[No Desire]

Both are CD-Rs. I think they are cool though.

[redefining sin]

lol... a new post in the forum!!!!!

exellent cd's very cool

[No Desire]

I simply LOVE items that you don't see everyday. They may not be that great for other people, but for me they are.

[No Desire]

That's my newest purchase on the UKJ front:



a Philippine test pressing.

[red sin]

hahaha surely you now have a bigger collection than Erik?

[red sin]

also... POLYCOSMIC RECORDS?

[No Desire]

Bigger collection - I don't know. But I have more sound storage media, that's right. I'm simply a bit of a completist. I mean, actually you don't need the same single from every country or all 3 versions of an English vinyl single that have even the same cat number.
Without Erik's list and permanent help my collection would still look sad though... It's hard to search for something when you don't know what exactly you're looking for.

PolyCosmic was the Philippine subsidiary company of PolyGram (or they worked together with them at least). I'm not sure what it is called today, I read "PolyGram Records Philippines" and "MCA Universal Records".
BTW, the seller of this test pressing sent me a scan of the Philippine Busy Bee promo, and this one has written "Manufactured and printed in the Philippines for PolyCosmic Records, under license from PolyGram International Baarn, Netherlands" on it. Haha.

Edit: I just viewed Erik's list, and he has many live recordings and press releases that I don't have. I also got most of the TV video material I have from him.

[red sin]

the first medication cd, are Something New and No Direction the EP versions or PV versions?

[No Desire]

EP

[redefining sin]

were posters disscused in the last thread? you'll have to forgive my memory... anyway

I have two Medication posters.

First is a Price Valium ad which features the band in front of a graffitied wall.

The second is an advert for the EP which is very much in the style of the EPs graphics with the individual band member shots.

I could take a pic of those if you want to see them.

Also Ill eventually get round to typing up the UKJ stuff I have on dvd...

There's a few collectable stickers I could scan:

long black sticker with "MEDICATION" written in red
square EP cover sticker
Square PV cover sticker (with the original Prince Valium font)
long black sticker with "+medication+" written on it.

Also theres "November Winds" a pre Medication track with all the instruments played by Blunt. Erik made that available on his site. When I asked Blunt about the origins of the song he was really suprised we all heard it, he had even lost his copy!

[redefining sin]

ahhh I nearly forgot...

there is an interview that Paul did with Whit... I know most people have heard about it a read the transcript. I was lucky enough to have Paul send me a copy.

I told him Id host it for him if he wanted to put an mp3 of it on his site (since he wasnt keen on me putting it on here)

perhaps hell change his mind, Its a good interview since Whit seems very relaxed, in one point in the interview (I think it was the Med one, it may have been UKJ) Whit gets up and closes the door for Paul cause the music comming from the next room was too loud.

So awsome!

I have a PV poster that looks like that. It's approx. 26.75 x 39.25. There's another one on Gemm where the seller stated it was 20 x 13. I asked him, and he said it looked the same.

I also have an EP advert, which is A4, brown and in English/Spanish. Do you mean this one?

I have only the square ones with the CD covers. Yes, I would like to see the other ones (long ones) too! I saw one of them before, but I didn't save it by mistake...

I don't have that interview. At least not on tape.

There was an interview in German Metal Hammer in 1992, where the interviewer said that Whit complained about the noise the support band made during the soundcheck (the interview took place at that time).

He also wrote that Whit was a militant non-smoker.
I saw him as a smoker and as a militant non-smoker as well.

How are things with you quitting smoking actually?

[redefiningsin]

smokings been on and off im afraid to say.

There was some good news for me and Katie, Katie finally got her new kitten (well shes 3 and a half) but she is so addorable, her name is Cherry!!!

From the moment Cherry and Katie were united at home there was this instant connection, shes a tourtoise shell colour and she has a sister (Fudge) who is Katies parents cat!

And thank you again for the interviews!
