[antipode101]

..anyone else got it?...mine is numbered 2186 . Does anyone know how many copies were pressed?

[Ean]

Yep, I've got it. Can't remember what number it is though...

There were 8000 released, and Ginger got number 1217.

25 January 1998

EastWest Japan release Moodswings And Roundabouts, a limited edition (there's 8,000) 4 CD boxed set of Wildhearts recordings. (Ginger is presented with boxed set number 1217 - the month and day of his birth.) The set contains: Mondo Akimbo A-Go-Go (plus the extra track Truth, a song snippet that was previously only available on the original vinyl version of the EP); Fishing For Luckies (the Japanese version featuring the extra tracks Beautiful Me Beautiful You, Caffeine Bomb and the two re-recordings from the UK vinyl issue, 29 x The Pain and Weekend '96); the B-sides disc from the Japanese Best Of The Wildhearts; and a completely new disc featuring all of the band's EastWest-era B-sides that weren't on the original Japanese Best Of..., plus the previously unreleased track One Before The Lights Go Out, and the untitled choral track from the vinyl version of the revamped Fishing For Luckies.

Cool, thanks for that!

I'd kill for a copy of that. I've only currently got it on MP3, and now I'm wondering if whoever I got it from didn't just piece it together from other releases because there is no "Truth" on the first disc.

Shit.

I've had a look - mine's number 5082

To be honest, you're not missing much with Truth, it's not really an excerpt from the actual song, rather the five drunkest people in the room singing 'All I want is some truth' over and over for twenty seconds or so.

There's one on eBay at the moment for $150 US (75 quid, due to the shocking state of the Dollar at present, for anyone here who's interested).

I'd love to pick it up, but I just don't have the cash right now.

As far as "Truth" goes, I'm just very, very anal about having "true" copies of everything in my mp3 collection. I'm tempted to just delete my M&R now. Argh.
