WANTED: epone & compilation CDs

[suedecrush]

I know this is going out on a limb, but I figured this might be my best bet.

I'm looking for the following CD's from motivesounds that are out of print:

01. ctrlaltdelete "epone"
02. motivesounds "compilation" 2cd set

I live in the States and missed out early on. I'm looking for mint original releases of both titles. I'll pay $30US for both including shipping.

I'd also be interested to learn of online shops that might have stocked the CDs, but I believe all copies were distributed upon order.

In an even more rare case, I'm looking for the "Crank" French CD by the Catherine Wheel with "Comeback Again" on it. Okay, and the first Mono EP. That's all. I swear.

If by chance you need anything from the metro Detroit area, I would be more than happy to track down something for you in a trade.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the 2 CD compilation - mscd01

Think the last handful were sold pretty recently.

As you're from Detroit, if you can get hold of a Dodge Viper I might be willing to trade!?!

Perhaps....

[suedecrush]

I might be able to get you the brochure for the Viper. ;D
Seriously though, interested in selling your compilation?

[setfiretoflames]

I've got three copies of the compilation. I'll send you one for the posting price, as long as you tell me why you want it - where'd you come across it, etcetc. I'd be interested to know! Also, these compilations are at home, and I'm at university, so you might have to wait a month or so.

[suedecrush]

Done deal! Hopefully you have a Paypal account?

I want these because I'm a completist! ;D
Seriously though, I'm only like this for one other record label where I have to have everything.
Okay, so I first heard of motivesounds on MySpace and have followed the bands, but I never bought any of the CDs. Besides the fact that I really like the music I've heard, I'm also a recent graphic design graduate and am a huge fan of the packaging/layout/typography/artwork. Beautiful stuff. I'm always looking for inspiration.
Definitely contact me when you're home from uni. I'll send you a PM with my email addy.

Okay, who's got an "epone" for me?

[lurpak]

Suppose the Viper catalogue's out the window then?

Want to keep the compilation Suede..soz like.

[setfiretoflames]

Okay suede. My email's [e-mail].

[suedecrush]

yo, you got mail... two pm's on here.

[bigmouth strikes again]

i heard a rumour that ctrlaltdelete members have got a few of the epONE discs kicking about with no sleeves to put em in... the band can maybe help you out on that one, if you can deal with having a copy with no art.

i'd personally like to know how you found the motive zine board from the myspace of the label, since practicaly all links between them have been cut!!?!?

oh yeah, and welcome

[suedecrush]

I heard the same rumor about the CD's minus the artwork... but I won't rest until I find an original with full artwork. It's all about the packaging! Unless someone wants to sell me their packaging hahaha

As for the motive zine:
motivesounds.com > friends > read > motivesounds zine > motivesounds zine is dead, the forum still has a pulse, click here

... and that's how I stumbled into carlisle and cumbria!

I only found out about ctrlaltdelete and motivesounds from MySpace, not the zine. I have to say that they were among the rare friend requests that were actually good. I wish I would've dug a little deeper months ago.

Thanks for the welcome... nice to meetcha.

[Self-Titled]

Yeah, the artwork of the Motive Sounds compilation is always commented on by people I meet. I would have sent you my copy but my mates girlfriend, who's doing art at Uni, loved the artwork so much when she saw it so I let her borrow the compilation and haven't seen it since.

[Howlette]

i'm sending the last 14 copies of the compilation to simbiotic this week. then that's it. gone forever.

[Manalexees (yeahnewname).]

Hey Suedeman. I too have a couple of Motive compilations. I have a paypal account and I can sort you out with something if you like.
I also have a ctrlaltdelete EPone (although if it's my ONLY copy I will not part). Although your into the graphics side of things, if your just after the music I have some demo' of theirs from BEFORE EPone. If Ben and Laura Permit, I can hook you up with copies.
If you have myspace you can find me through the motive freinds list as ALEX.
If you get a hold of the Compilation it has the BEST LACO tune they EVER done. Also has a few pre manatee bands too
Good luck, and good to see a healthy obsession....

[suedecrush]

I heard back from Avalanche: "I am sorry but I have asked round the shops, and even checked our old old sale or return stock that we stick in the basement and we have nothing by this band that I can find." So that's a no go. Hmmm.

Thanks to everyone that was more than helpful with the compilation, but I'm happy to report that I've ordered from the store and am now only in search of an original epONE.

Alex, thanks for the offer on the early demo's. If it's cool with the band I'd love to hear what you have. I'll look for you on myspace and send you a friend invite.

Most of my obsessions are healthy lol

(subliminal message... someone sell me their epONE)

[Manalexees (yeahnewname).]

Well suede,
Just to let you know if you love Ctrlaltdelete, your going to Freak when you hear Mt.'s new album. It's totally spacker!

it's so spacker that i've made a thread for it. team jay and macarte are spackers.

[setfiretoflames]

'Spacker' as a positive adjective is really confusing.

[suedecrush]

I'll freak even more when I get my hands on an original "epONE"! Now THAT'S spacker!
suede loves you.

[Mt. Ben]

Well, ive scoured every cupboard, drawer and cd case in my house, but Im afraid I cannot find an epONE (apart from my own of course...), sorry

I did originally have two copies in the house, but as my girlfriend and I moved in together, we only needed one, and so sent the other off to the motive shop.

I did see one on ebay a few months ago, but I doubt that will happen again for some time.

As has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I do have some discs (printed), some inner slips and the pink band, but unfortunately no outer casing.

Good luck trying to find one though, and Im flattered (both as motive man and ctrlaltdelete guitarist) that someone would be as determined as you to find a copy!

[Howlette]

suede, i have a lead on one. don't get your hopes up though there's a big chance it might not be traceable.
