808 State Discussion

Really enjoying all of these, particularly Hypermatic. Thanks very much. Hoping more to come in 2011.

I picked up a copy in HMV Nottingham yesterday and cancelled the web order. It's very frustrating that there are copies in HMV stores yet they seem to have treated their web customers as a lower priority....plus it cost me an extra £4. I won't be using them again.

It's a fantastic CD though and ...

Just pre-ordered from HMV.com. £8.99 with free UK delivery. Again listed as 26 May 08 release date.

It was pretty funny. On one side of the bar it was the over 65s Music Hall night and the other side was full of 30 something ravers. Occasionally a raver would slip through into the other side for a dance with the oldies.

What a fantastic night it was and thanks to 808 for a superb set which was the icing on the cake. Lasted until about 4 in the morning which wasn't bad given the quantity of lager consumed (fortunately in Monroes before the £3.80 for a tin of Bud).

I looked out for you guys and did recognise Nick ...

I'll be there too.

Just ordered from HMV.co.uk for £8.99 and free delivery. Not bad for a double CD. Fingers crossed it arrives in a timely fashion.

Just picked up a copy of the Oct 07 mixmag, a special issue entitled 20 Years of Acid House. Contains a free Josh Wink Mix CD including Voodoo Ray plus interviews with AGCG, Peter Hook and Paul Hartnoll amongst others inside. There's also a Tony Wilson obituary. All well worth a look.

I shall enjoy a celebratory beer tonight. Just won State to State vol 1 on eBay for £13 and am told it is in very good condition. Only the postal service can stop me from completing my 808 'album' collection now.

That'll be me in the Bad News shirt and my wife next to me. Or is it the girl in the bikini you're trying to track down?

Ordered a copy from Boomkat two days ago and received the CD today. Waiting for some quiet time to have a proper first listen.

Went up to my self imposed limit and got outbid by Retro Games 'n' Consoles who won the item with a fairly substantial £36 bid. Such is life. Like Ancodia says be patient and it'll no doubt come up for sale again.

I've been hoping to buy this for a while now but no matter how keen I am to get hold of it there is no way on earth I'll be fleeced for £99.99 plus. :(

I'd be surprised if any of you lucky enough to have a copy would tell me otherwise. Could argue there are only 500 or so in existence but even so ...

I bought the 90 and US90 badges from the same seller a couple of weeks ago. 99p on Buy It Now. Decent enough service and quality, though as Markus says the 90 badge has a white rather than silver background. Might be worth investing in one of those 'Super Badge It' sets for the kids - could be some ...
