I didn't know about a double-disc of the album. I got the 40 minute blue room mix on a special cd single. I kind of had to insist the HMV guy look for it, like they only had a small number and he wanted them all for himself. It fit into the double cd single case of the other blue room single version - is that what you're talking about?
Nope. Before Island re-released the U.F.Orb album, big life issued a limited edition copy which contained a 40 minute blue room cd along with the album itself in one single jewel case. I have one, and I got it signed by lx last time I saw him DJ. Now I need Jah Wobble, Youth, and a few others and I can die a happy man ;)
interesting. I never saw that, and I was way, way into that album. I saw a US import vinyl in sealed thick opaque rubbery plastic sleeve - you'd have had to make a nasty cut in it to get the vinyl and I wondered if I would have got my money's worth, or would i have just kept it sealed. I wonder if the US vinyl was better and hence worth a lot of money. My UK vinyl copy was always pretty disappointing - for example the 93 Live double set was way chunkier. On the other hand, sound quality isn't always important. I remember one time steaming along the M62 south of Barrow-in-Furness having just gotten off a nuclear submarine (and that's a whole 'nother story), I was doing 100mph and had UFOrb cranking on the stereo in the hire car - wicked. Went past a traffic cop parked in one of those special police cut-outs. He didn't even blink. I like to think he heard the music and decided not to ruin it. I think the only time I ever got a cd signed, was my limited edition digipack of Arise by Sepultura which I got signed by all four brazilian thrashers. Ok, so I'm a little eclectic... -- Chris Morgan <cm at mihalis.net> http://www.mihalis.net Temp sig. - Enquire within
