For those who have money to burn and collections to fill, you can bid for a good cause on test pressings of FTBF (which were apparently pressed in some German-speaking part of the world):

Well done - I know exactly where you got these from because I was looking in the exact same store almost a month ago to the day 😂

I almost bought a second copy of Music:Response vinyl promo but it was missing the third 12" and they didn't want to drop the price ... glad all these went to a good Chemical home 👏👏👏

You're probably correct...But one is from a different store  :-X. I was hunting for Salmon Dance 7" and knew it was at the exact shop. The Promo Cd was sitting on the higher display. Knew then and there I'd never see it again. Paid way too much for it...but that's most of my chems collection.

Seeing as a few of us now have the promo CD and it's reported that only 40 exist (according to the Discogs page)...how many are in the hands of forum/discord members

"Curious about that done and dusted? Never saw that one before. Gotta look into that!"

Done & Dusted is not worth the paper it's printed on. It's like a Wikipedia entry. Nothing more.

Happy a decent Chems book has finally come out. Finished Cosmic tonight and made a 10 hour playlist with all songs mentioned.

Alright, I think I counted five (5) going back through the thread in the hands of forum members. It means we have 1/8 of potentially known copies across the globe in our collections.

Edit: Also recognize a few other names from the forum in the Discogs "Have" link.

@rynostar

NOW THATS A SCORE! A ptb promo, the promo cd's and the salmon dance in one swoop. If I ever visit London shops, I'm gonna spend a whole day finding and completing my collection.

Nice CD organized rack Pum! But I don't see any chem CD's (my bad! I see BITE, BGWIO, and FTBF over there on the left. Jealous that you have Kraftwerks 'catalogue' box set! My cd's are still in boxes but I want to put a cd book case that would go top of my record bookcase. 


*sneaks into Rynos and Pums discogs collection hehe!

This short before the weekend i'm fine with it  ;)








One more thing: Looking through all the chemical singles on discogs i noticed there are at least  3 CHEMSD-numbers not in use. CHEMSD 13, 17 & 32. Maybe this has been discused on the forum before, but does anyone know why? Or are they just not listet on discogs?

no idea, no idea

CHEMS*13 is still unknown
CHEMS*17 is Electronic Battle Weapon 6
CHEMS*32 is Free Yourself / MAH (Electronic Battle Weapon Version).

You're right. How could i not see that?

This week I recieved 'Born in the echoes' Japanese tour edition 2cd which completes my hunt for the 6 Japan releases of the last 6 albums with all the exclusive tracks available. Very happy with that. 🤩
Another Japanese addition to my collection is Klaxons 'Love Frequency' album on cd which includes the Tom Rowlands remix of the titel track as a bonus. 🥳

After reading the first couple of chapters of Paused in cosmic reflection I went on to complete my Ariel collection. This week I finalized it with having a record from every release. I already had the Atom 12", T-baby for the Dust Brothers remix and the 2 Ariel cd singles.
It's fun to see them hopping over 3 different labels over there 8 releases and original tracks are mainly found on promos. For example the Ariel - Sea of beats release only contains the Justin Robertson remixes of the track. You need the Atom POW release to get the original version. Also on the back of the sleeve it says "Big thanks to the 237 Gaff (The men who make the mayhem at 'most excellent')" which refers to multiple Ariel/Chemical Brothers history. Although I don't understand what 'Gaff' means in this sentence.

Why does everybody have a collection I'm extremely jealous of? I only have, like, 6 Chems CDs (but I'm planning to get many, many, MANY more)
