Got a similar item via discogs: the Jay-Reatard-split in white vinyl with that HC and no number. But don't know anything about it.

I was thrilled to get THE ONLY copies that arrived at my local store of those 2 7"s on Record Store Day that year.

I think I have found out what this 'HC' means.

Of all things, whilst watching Pawn Stars, there was a customer with an art print that did not have an edition number, but simply 'HC.' The art appraiser indicated it was 'Hors Commerce' which I think is what should be 'Hors d' Commerce' -- which is French for 'not for trade.'

My guess is these are numbers pressed in addition to the edition of 100 and given to executives, band members, etc . . . and, as the art appraiser indicated, there is no real way to tell how many 'HC' items were made.\

Someone is selling a used Daydream Nation CD (2005 version) for £99. What a bargain!

Perhaps they mistyped . . . ? It is now £11.00. Darn. Was about to slap down the 99.

Is this official? I've never seen anything like it on eBay or the archive before. I wonder what, if any, inserts this has.

SONIC YOUTH 5 CD Album Box Set 1990 - 98 Ltd Numbered 107 Goo Dirty

You were faster ...

The seller has more of theese from Smashing Pumpkins, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Dinosaur Jr etc. To me it looks like common CDs with (well) selfmade boxes around, but I don't know.

totes home-made

New Peel Sessions Bootleg !!

not ebay, but someone's selling The Social Power Performance on Amazon for $20 if anyone's looking for that:

http://www.amazon.com/Social-Power-P...ds=sonic+youth

Is it any good? Just checked Discogs: a Dutch seller had it for 13 euros so I snapped it up.

Why would you want to buy that bootleg?

For "liberation" purposes - in due time, I'll probably get about what I paid for it (and even a small loss would be acceptable).

Recently bought Ecoute Ca Coco and Energy for the exact same purpose.

Hey martin, come here. Sit down beside me. There's something I gotta ask ya. I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me? I mean, are you gonna liberate us bootlegs from Amazon's corporate oppression?

Amidst all the dumb flames, juvenile crap and spambots there are occasional nuggets of gold on this board - I laughed so hard I almost spit coffee over my keyboard. Salut, noizy!

I think I'll leave the way clear for others to bid on that one, excellent though it might be. Maybe Rappard could liberate it :D

They did 3 shows at the Academy on Oct 20/21 1995. It says "Show 1" on the tape so presumably it's the 10/20/95 gig, but they did 2 shows on 10/21 so it may have been the first show of that night.

Male Slut show could be this one, which features a particularly tasty set list.

Thats a lot of money for a couple of shows, even if its a Gen 0 tape, the listing doesn't say if you get "ownership rights" of the recordings, or if Habib reserves those.

I don't know which is more awesome, if the sale itself, or someone finding out that the zeetar was being sold....

Never seen that before!

Can't afford it...

suppose it's just a bootleg with audio taken from the live vids recorded on Jool's Holland show, right?

Seemingly so. It's also a new one on me. Plenty more "new" bootleg singles in the seller's other listings too.

Clear vinyl and real product photos available now

These bootlegs look like elaborate, overpriced swindles. In the age of MP3s, new levels are being sunk to in the name of sacred vinyl.

Never been very excited about bootlegs (I have exceptions of this princible, got few very great bootlegs from Pink Floyd, Tom Waits & Dr. John). Limit of the bootleg & official release is very difficult when talking about sy. One thing I hate is bootleg versions of the official releases. I mean if somebody make an bootleg, it should be material not released before.

Got my clear vinyl copy today: it is lathe cut in thick plastic, looks nice, but the sound is unbelievable bad.

There's now a picture disc version too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1514132532...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

lot of cassettes there

"Sister" demos?!
Wow.

The fact that they're in the same order as the album suggests they're about as real as the "EVOL demos" I wasted valuable tape trade space on back in the 90s. I don't think SY did many demos before Goo (though I was surprised when they released that "Catholic Block" demo).
