I also wondered that, and that's why I announced this competition yesterday... wink

Well slap my ear! What a coincidence.
OK I'll snap some pics and mail them to you.
But this topic would still make sense right? So people can see who's got which numbers.

The pages which will contain the competition entries will also feature the limited edition numbers. That way, visitors to the site would be able to see what numbers were 'taken', as well as where they were in the world. Asking for accompanying photographs seemed like a good excuse for people to get creative with their cameras - and that's what led to turning this quest into a competition... smile

Cool, thanks.
It's good to know because if I wouldn't send in mine, someone could nick my scans of off Discogs claiming it's their copy wink

I once had both Exotour (oddly, an unnumbered copy) and Subterranean Omnidelic Exotour (can't recall the number). Sadly, I had to sell a chunk of my music collection during a period of financial hardship. So, at least those copies can go on record as having journeyed from the UK via St. Louis, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois, on to points unknown.

Karl Hyde of Underworld did a similar thing with a 2003 book of graphic work and his recent solo album. Initial copies included a numbered photograph, which each user was invited to register. It was fun to watch the webpage taking shape as the UK fans received their copies first, followed by Europe, the Americas, Asia and elsewhere.

It's harder to track things when it's not part of the process from the outset, but the competition is a neat twist to get people motivated! Now to borrow a digital camera...

Subterranean Omnidelic Exotour CD: No. 937

Exotour CD: No. 311

What about the John Foxx/Karbourne '20th Century/Burning Car' (Dubterror mixes) 12"? Wasn't that a ltd ed?

If so I've got that one, too.

hi all, back again on the forum.

I had a rarity within the Underpass 500 copies limited edition, #506 lol
Can someone clear that up please? So i guess 501 to 505 exist as well?
Or he got so confused stamping them he lost track of the numbers wink
The other numbers follow later.

Greetings from Rotjeknor,
