Disco Inferno: please help me out

Yup, drop an e-mail with your address.

Thanks. I just did it.

I'd just like Rough Trade to gather all the five EPs and stick 'em on one CD.

didn't they do this in 1999?

Nope.

i've heard that album isn't very good, from someone who heard it

is this a bootleg, then?

Yeah whats "the 5 eps" that I have then?

the album I was talking about is the floorshow album

btw

and the 5 e.p.s comp referenced there is, yes, the same comp everyone with the e.ps winds up making (or copies of ones that people got off ned, bootlegger extraordinaire)

I was gonna say!

"Technicolour" going for £1.31 on amazon.co.uk new.

"Technicolour" going for £1.31 on amazon.co.uk new.

remind me never to go to hmv ever again

Anyway, I gather some more folks have the EPs now...the offer, as ever, remains standing.

Can anyone help me find decent-sized images of the EP covers online? Ideally 250x250pixels plus in size? Big kisses to anyone who can help!

Also, wtf, this page - http://www.last.fm/event/529497 - reckons they played a gig in April???!!!

Found 'em!

They still haven't released an EP comp? Such a shame... they are probably the worst band to google behind Can and Television. I'd ask Ned, but not sure how he stands on shipping to Sweden. If anyone could mail them or link or whatever, it would be much appreciated!

I'd be happy to send a copy! In fact I have two requests hanging fire I need to fulfill anyway.

Is one of them mine?

Ned, in that case you may check your mails!

I think it's wonderful that Ned still makes this available for folks! I don't have one, myself, though. I think I asked for one once but it wasn't convenient at the time.

Is one of them mine?

Yup!

A little something:

(Plz to note this includes a first person essay by Mr. Crause himself -- as well as a brief bit from yours truly.)

Nice, thanks!

Great to read the recollections of Ian Crause. Fell in love with this band just this year and have been curious about their backstory so thanks a lot for the little something.

You're most welcome!

"far defter" though?

It's an excerpt from a longer, unpublished piece, so I think context might explain the ending (I'd have to go back and check). Still, there's the idea that they found what one of their sources of inspiration could not, that they made it actually work.

That was a cool article. I'm delighted when anyone appreciates Sparkle In The Rain as well.

Does anyone have any idea how I might get in touch with Ian Crause? I can't find an offical myspace page. Does one exist? There's something I need to tell him. Please.

At LONG last I have finally found the interview I did with Ian Crause back in 1994. Seriously, this tape had been eluding me forever. I'll be digitizing it and figuring out how best to share in as part of a larger project; more details soon.

he said 4 months ago...

He said indeed. The larger project is forthcoming.

Does anyone know where I could get the five e.p.s in v0? Been looking for years..

what is v0? i can send you flacs or something if you want.

what is v0?

I'm desperately after the 'Last Dance' and 'Second Language' EP's in lossless if anyone can help. I have 'Second Language' on vinyl and I gave up the hope of ever finding an original copy of the 'Last Dance' EP a while back. Any help would be eternally appreciated.

did the person who was getting their logo tattood on themselves ever show any pictorial eveidence?

i vaguely remember seeing a pic?

Now I have the compilation I am selling my original CDs of the five EPs. If you're interested they're here:

Bump. A couple of people are watching these; I've just dropped the Buy It Now prices.

A gentle bump.

Zero bids still!

Couple of watchers though. I will post to the US for an ILXor, btw.

alright.. which ilxor outbidded me?

^_____^

Holy crap those EPs have plummeted in value. I remember Last Dance would set you back like 80 bucks.

Sorry ilxor. I'm the guilty party. Don't hold it against me.

I heard DI for the first time about 4 or 5 years ago. In my search for the EP's I was initially lucky in finding the 'Second Language' new on vinyl from a Amazon marketplace seller for about £8 new. Not long after that I was fortunate enough to stumble upon what must have been warehouse finds of 'Summers Last Sound' and 'In Debt' for dirt cheap on CD via eBay. I then found a copy of 'A Rock to Cling To' pretty cheap on Amazon second hand. After that I managed to get a copy of 'It's a Kids World' on wax for about £10. 'The Last Dance' was by far the most difficult to track down. I searched high and low for years to no avail. If it wasn't for the formal release of the 5 Eps compilation and Sick Mouthy's decision to sell his EP's I doubt I'd ever have found it. Does any one have any idea of what kind of quantity was pressed of the EP's in the first place? It really can't have been much.

I did manage to score myself a copies of 'Open Doors, Closed Windows', the 'Science' EP and 'D.I go Pop' on vinyl on the way along. The latter in particular seems to be neigh on impossible to find.

I then bought a copy of the '5 EP's' on release date and felt a bit silly for all my desperate efforts. Still, part of me felt committed to the cause.

^^ sounds like you're far more committed to the cause than i am. props for beating me by $1 or so per disc! ..... i too stumbled across summer's last sound and a rock to cling to CDs for something ridiculous, like $3 apiece some cheap local undervalued pricing... snapped those up quick. i'll get the rest someday. cheers!

I just love that they're all back now in some form. Out of my hands completely, at last.

maybe i should eBay my Ned Raggett-penned CDr copy..... what's it worth, i wonder? ;D
