#PopArtMix [Chris Lowe's personal 3CD-R unopened]
#Nov. 2000 Demos [Handwritten 10trk CD-R w/ exclusive mixes - the only pressing in the world]

Well, the PopArtMix 3CDR has its original security sticker covering the opening and it feels like they are glued on (lol) and is numbered (#1) followed by 'Chris Lowe' on the sleeves. I also have #7 (some journalist who I refuse to mention) still unopened but the printing on the paper inserts are slightly different. If you are going to be all stupid and doodally, then I will answer you back by saying that you can tell the difference in the print because they are in transparent PVC sleeves, stickeredalong the opening.

As for the Nov.2000 Demos CDR, I obtained it yonks ago and as soon as I obtained it along with other unreleased material (ie London/Berlin CDR's with 6trk/8trk/10trk listings and mixes which later became Disco3) I emailed Steffen and he didn't quite believe me and a few months later, I mentioned about the songs on the forums but very few were interested and shortly after sharing to the interested parties, they had spread all over the net and I learned my lesson not to share any unreleased material. I still stand by what I say.

Tracklist:

4:30 I Don't Know What You Want... (Demo)
10:30 I Don't Know What You Want... (peter rauhofer roxy anthem)
7:31 I Don't Know What You Want... (peter rauhofer roxy dub)
4:08 New York City Boy (the almighty definitive mix radio edit)
8:51 New York City Boy (the almighty definitive mix - full version)
4:18 New York City Boy (the thunderpuss 2000 radio edit)
8:11 New York City Boy (the thunderpuss 2000 tribe-a-pella)
4:04 You Only Tell Me You Love Me... (brother brown's newt edit)

By the time of the releasing of Drunk Brazil promo, I lived in São Paulo and I knew the EMI Brazil vice president. He gave me some copies of that promo 3 days before it goes to the radio stations. When I got home I wrote an e-mail with complete details about tracklist, Brazilian DJs and pic sleeves to Parlophone and then, I got an e-mail back asking my address, because they would thank me with a little surprise gift, which turned out to be this CD-Reference.
If you think like some friends here, I could say it's one of a kind promo! (of course Parlophone might've made more than one copy, but I don't know).
I never wanted to discuss it here, because some people can question my words (like already happened with TTM) and I'm not into that anyway. But, finally, here it is...

PS: When I said before "unreleased", I meant commercially unreleased, once I think most of us have those mixes.

So basically, the 2000 demos are Disco 3 before its release, right?

You haven't moved house recently have you?

'Nov. 2000 Demos' is the Release demos. 'London/Berlin' demos is basically Disco3.

Just an observation from a newcomer to this forum....the person who started this thread managed to wait almost a whole day before listing his PSB (more rare than anybody else) rarities.

Shall we all start threads so we can brag?

Oh, I have 'Fundamental' btw.

LOL

I understand. Anyone is open to make some inteligent marketing, though.

Besides, it's an interesting thread.
