"Stop Us..." CD Release

[markE]

mucos gracias, senor sarc

[Chris Davies]

The reason Japan seems to get special treatment? They don't! We get singles with new b-sides with every album, they get a couple of bonus tracks tacked onto the end of the album. I think we get the better end of that deal.

Yep , I'd actually forgot about that.

I'm torn atm , its always nice having the Japan version turn up with the obi and stuff. Think i'll have to give in and order it.

what's the obi?

[Chris Davies]

Them strip things that come with all japanese cds. Its pretty much the only thing that makes them recognisable as Japanese. Except the Made in Japan in the corners

Just don't go throwing them out thinking they're part of the packing like some other complete mong on the board did

[Ean]

Can't believe anybody would be that daft!

For the more anal amongst us, Here's what it all means.

I wouldn't say least favourite boardee. I would have you down as the board's comedian.

See folks this is what i was talking about, one person starts bigging me up and then they all come out of the woodwork, do I really need encouraging?

I feel so dirty I used the phrase "Bigging me up" might aswell finish this post up with Aight,

[spoon_of_grimbo]

oh right, i know what you mean - there's one on a japanese import of feeder's last album (the version with shatter and victoria on it). i don't really see the point in keeping them unless you're collecting it for the sheer fact it's japanese, or for resale value...

Howcome that the Japanese versions of everything Ginger related always have little extras? What makes them so special?

It's just marketing. The Japanese market is very concerned about the huge amounts of cheap import CDs that undermine their home producers. Therefore they add some extra 'exclusive' tracks to their home produced CDs to encourage people in Japan to buy the made in Japan version instead of a cheap import version.

Just ordered the 'first edition', whatever it may turn out to be. As soon as someone finds out, let us all know. I'm sure curiosity is raging! At that price I really hope it's worth it.

That's one explanation. The other is that "obi" derived from an abbreviation used in sale adverts describing the item as having its "original band intact".

(Vinyl obis tended to be bands that wrapped all the way around the sleeve.)

Hey ho. I'm off to get a life now.

SO the Wildies shouldn't be allowed to have an Obi as this is the millionth line up they've had
