Does anyone here own the Aphex Singles box set?..it's a Japan only release from a while back... If so, what singles are included?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it 51/73 (can't remember the 2nd number)? it's got ventolin+remixes, on (no remixes), donkey rhubarb, and a 'respect list' made with a macintosh speakable voice, where he thanks "that guy next door with his dogs". Not worth steep price which you'll pay for an import by any stretch of the imagination. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
the 2nd number = 13 |
||||||||
|

jands use of the word "box" is making me picture a completly different release altogether... :-/ |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wheeeeeeee That sounds fun, the Smashing Pumpkins boxed set made my life. |
||||||||
|

BlatantEcho-- the singles from mellon chollie and the infanant sadness disk? yeah i grabbed the box set when it came out. sold it back about 6 months ago, a few places said, they couldnt touch it with a 10' pole (meaning they had seen enough of the box sets and apparently didnt sell back that great) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sad thing is that the smashing box set was originally supposed to be a limited edition so i was really happy when i got it. turned out it's not so limited at all. every cd shop has at least one, even today, it seems. still, there's some GOOD music on there. especially the zero cd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i bought all the singles as they came our 1 by 1 then the box set has xtra songs on the cd singles.. i did keep zero and its not just to see the tits on the chic inside the cd insert. |
||||||||
|

|
|
cool, a friend of mine will soon perform in japan, i'll tell him to bring me one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wochtzchee- get it if ya can its gotta be cheaper to buy it in japan than anywhere else its like $29.99 here in the usa. with only 2 0r 3 songs that are not included anywhere else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'm not talking about 51/13....this is something else apparently... It came out just after Windowlicker...but info is very sparse...do a google for "aphex singles box" and it'll come up with a few little pointers but no real detail... In the words of Toyah, "It's a Mystawee..it's a mystawee"...:).. |
||||||||
|
|

...That's because it never came out. The Aphex Box Set was planned by Warner/Sire of Japan, and was supposed to include all his singles (sans HAB 1&2) off WARP up to Windowlicker. It never happened, even though it went as far as getting a catalogue number and being listed in some online stores. Sorry to disappoint Jand :) |

Nobody likes the bearer of bad news, Grrr! >:( |

Warner/Sire = Bad Anyway Warner/Sire = Wont let Richard use 'Aphex Twin' Don't give corps cash. Buy loads of stuff from Rephlex. |

I know, my mate works for warner (AOL) and aparently they're swine. They sacked a guy for giving an interview /o permission even though he didn't give away any "classified" info, just his honest opinion... I want another AFX release... |
||||||||
|
|

|

Sire is now London-Sire, and it's even more crap than before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sire released some good music in the early 90s tho.. weren't my bloody valentine on sire? do you know anything about what attracted RDJ to sire? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joyrex prolly knows even more about rdj than the man himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sire did release some good stuff back in the day but it was licensed from elsewhere like MBV (creation), Smiths (rough trade). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
absolutely! RDJ seems to have a really shit memory ("Never Trust A Junky!" -Nancy from Sid & Nancy), combined w/ the fact that he prolly doesn't give a fuck about knowing "trainspotter" information about himself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never trust a junkie?... Don't you trust me?.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ps. Joy...are you 100% sure... Got mail from Japan and it would appear it DOES exist...but very very rare... Think they may be test pressings or something... not that interested in owning it; got it all anyway but it is out thre.... |
||||||||

Nope, does NOT exist. RDJ wasn't attracted to Sire, moreover it was Warner Bros/WARP that had more to do with that than RDJ himself. If the stories about his contract being up with WARP are true (which I think now they are not), I am curious what kind of contractual obligation he has to Sire (if any) now. The only real good Sire/RDJ story I know of is how they paid 90K USD in advance for a new album (this was around the time of Windowlicker) because apparently WARP promised them or they expected it after a single which they invested heavily in (Windowlicker with the HyperCD technology, which was new at the time) and didn't get the final product until last year with DrukQs. That, and even two years after Windowlicker debuted, Sire was still moving over 100 copies per week! |

|
is it true sire own the rights to the name "aphex twin" though? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Joy....4 (yes 4!..) copies exist... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where'd you find this out? Do you have a catalog # for it? I can check with my contacts to see what the deal is. 4 copies of a CD box set? I don't think they would go through that much trouble to press an entire box set plus packaging and then abort the release, unless they are designer mock ups sent for final approval. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't give away my contacts on this...will get them into trouble... mock ups they were...will endeavour to get a pic for ya... no cat#.... Didn't need to press the CDs they were already pressed, doh.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Already pressed? So that means there are quite a few more than just 4 (sans packaging) in existance. I had a CAT# ages ago for it (the Japanese Warner ones (Wxxxxxx) when it was listed on some of the mail order sites, but that info is long gone...unless I look in my old backups of joyrex.com. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you misunderstand me....the CDs are standard japan release disc (pretty much the same as standard aprt from extra track on Windowlicker...)... It was the Box that was mocked up... |
||||||||

We trust you jand... but only because you're a moderator and we need faith in those in authority ;) |

Oh, so it's just On, On Remixes, Ventolin, Ventolin Remixes, Come To Daddy, Come To Daddy Remixed and Windowlicker in a box set? Strange that they would do it like that, but if you can come up with any more info/scans, I'd love to know about it. |
