a bootleg is is an music composition made without the the acceptance from the original artist/label. like the madonna remix: madonna (or her recordlabel) didnt want the tiesto remix, so when this is getting pressed its called a bootleg.. so its not an "official" release and thats why its called a whitelabel, theres no label involved with the pressing and theres is no text on the vinyl whatsoever and the cover is just white (or black on this release :P )
ive heard that there were 2000 pressed but others said 5000.. i dunno whats the right number |
I would assume that a number closer to 5000 has been pressed.
I say this because all major records stores and many smaller stores I have come across have sold and/or are still selling this record. |

Wouldn't be surpised. The lower ammount of copies they _say_ get pressed, the better it sells I guess. At least of you compare in a specific time stretch. Announcing the number of copies at a high amount will probably make people not rush so much for a copy... and some will wait so long they get bored and don't buy it afterall.
Or maybe this makes no sense at all ;)
Oh well, just my 2 AM thoughts =) |

| got mine today, you have to run Street Spirit loud, lots of bass and slightly pitched to get the most of it...madonna is passable |

I call dibs in case that Australian site s me over. I know it would take a couple of weeks to get here, but I'm not liking the post from Trance Nutter, who's in Australia itself, about not getting his yet. |
It'll get there, may be a bit slow though.
I seriously doubt they'll screw you over completely, this isn't a small company, they are farkin huge with hundreds of stores around Australia. So i doubt they'll take your money and run....... |

I think he's talking about the lead/cable from the mixer to the computer in order to rip a sample. Nothing to do with production i think. |
Yes, that's what I meant, sorry. Lol... I have a 5 year old jack-to-jack lead with a phono adaptor and average soundcard. I'm guessing the guy from the ripping group didn't have a much better setup. Providing you have a decent system it'll sound fine... and like I said playing it directly through the mixer into my headphones worked fine :) |

I don't think they will, they are pretty huge, its just that their vinyl section is very small....i don't know of any actual Sanity shops that sell vinyl, its only online.
Don't forget that they have to get it from the Netherlands or UK or wherever it was pressed first.
In case anyone else wants to know, Australian's biggest online vinyl store (very reputable with excellent, fast service) has just got this in as well.

I would have thought that they would have gotten the vinyls themselves before the release date, so they could release them on the Monday - its how every other industry works.
Also Sanity have "Dance Arena" stores in some cities (not Adelaide though) that stock vinyl, so they would need stock for these.
You will definitely receive stock from Sanity though.
I can thoroughly recommend Vinyl Warning, had I known they were going to get stock I would have bought it from there but they didn't list it until the Wednesday or Thursday. |

Was reading up on the lyrics of Street Spirit when I found this quote from Thom Yorke:
| quote: |
"'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it.... It wrote itself. We were just its messengers... Its biological catylysts. It's core is a complete mystery to me... and (pause) you know, I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless... All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve... 'Street Spirit' has no resolve... It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so hurtful that the sound of that melody is its only definition. We all have a way of dealing with that song... It's called detachment... Especially me.. I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it... I'd crack. I'd break down on stage.. that's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning... I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together... That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'.. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion... (pause) I'd crack.... Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to.. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the ing devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh...and it's real...and true. The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack. I can't believe we have fans that can deal emotionally with that song... That's why I'm convinced that they don't know what it's about. It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell everytime I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart.
I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much. (very long pause). I didn't write that song."

The original could not be more perfect... I think I understand why Radiohead did not want it to be remixed and released. |

:nervous:
I think I can understand too now... I've never made the effort to listen to the lyrics before but that's some crazy . The whole purpose of dance music really is to bring people together in happiness... can see how they would see it as inappropriate.
Hmm |

Haha and some people say we take our music too seriously.
Imagine if Tiesto or Armin said that about one of their songs. |
