I didn't know I had entered :?

I don't know how many PAM CDR's there are but I have #1 and #7 and the sleeves are slightly different. After all, we all thought there were a handful of Release CDR's until there were loads being flogged on eBay, plus now we have info that there are more than 10 Intropective clear vinyls (probably nearer 30 but at least 20) and more than 5 (roughly a handful) Swedish EMI Megamix CD's pressed. No-one is 100% accurate but you wouldn't prefer me to be a liar would you? :roll:

Get one of them p2p'd then. Be very careful with it, use the tenderest of care while touching it, slip it in ur pc with the utmost gentleness and whack a finger over the wma record button. then when its done wrap it back up all lovely.
That's it, it's all over. We're out of here. What a Legacy! (c) Chris Lowe 2009

Tired of this discussion.

I am a bit confused here. Weren't we talking about Fundamental promos? Did anyone ask about PopArt CDR's? Why are you talking about those?
It was a cough that carried him off. It was a coffin they carried him off in.

The point I'm making is that no-one knows exactly how many were made of any release unless they have a press release sheet or a good source to confirm the information.

Glad you agree with me, as for my collection, I know a few people who could easily match or better it and can I tell you guys something..? I'm not particularly bothered if your collection is better than mine. I'm just proud of what I've got my hands on (even if it is that stunner of a dancer in the pub from the other night :wink: )

So instead of commenting on whether or not you have the Fundamental promo, you're debating promo releases in general? I just got confused about the sudden change of subject.

So in essence: You don't have the Fundamental promo, but you do have two copies of the PopArt mix promo? Or you do have the Fundamental promo even though it has only been sent out to Neil and Chris' trusted friends? :?

I'm commenting, that exactly, I myself doesn't know how many Fundamental CD-Rs are made.

In essence, I have 1 copy of Fundamental and 2 of PAM including Chris Lowe's personal copy (his name is printed on the sleeves). And yet, you think the CDR's only get given to the Boys' trusted friends..?

There's an old saying: "If there's a will, there's a way"

Stick by it and your dreams may come true, ignore them and you may become miserable for the rest of your life...

Is that in any way, shape or form relevant? This discussion has already turned in to what appears to be in some cases a personal discussion on TTT and what he does or doesn't have in his PSB collection. Like he said, where there's a will there's a way. I have a hand-written letter from NT sent in response to a letter from yours truly asking them a few questions about their videos. Do I want to scan it and show it here? In a word, no. Not because I'm mean or keeping it to myself but because it lives in it's hand-written envelope for safe-keeping. I also have sealed promos sent to my by Parlophone - and they'll stay that way along with my PSB wooly hat and socks they sent me for Xmas years ago.

If TTT wanted to break the law and make Fundamental available then great - that's entirely up to him. If he doesn't - then great, that's entirely up to him too.

The more widepsread promos and such like will be out there soon enough so people should show a little more patience and not start doubting (and attacking) those who have worked hard to get hold of items that they simply do not want to open and share.

I hope TTT forgives me for speaking on his behalf but if you, or anyone else, wants to try and engage him in a discussion on what he does for a living I suggest you send him a PM or start a "what do we all do for a living" topic in the Off-Topic section of this forum.

Over and out.

Happy new year

If he doesn't want to upload the cd I understand him but a review about it (similar to popjustice) would be a good thing and I think it's possible.

well if he doesnt want to open it he cant give a review. but me I am a tad more jaded when it comes to all this talk about "breaking the law' of uploading new songs. I know this is a rehashed debate and I could be wrong but I really believe groups leak stuff to the hardcore fanbase for reaction.the general public would never seek it out. its been pretty consistant every CD release we always have the tracks well ahead of time.

there are very few options on how that happens.either the PSB's few trusted friends arent really their friends,the producers they work with dont have good work ethic or....I think we know the other option.

Well, I suppose it's not the same someone uploading new material 3 months before the launching of the album than 1 month before. This kind of thing can be good for the sales.

How about uploading a picture of the promo? Then we can all use our imaginations to get an idea of how it sounds.
