Folks -
I'd promised Joe swound a WAA tshirt and promptly went into the attic to find one. It took me ages...but I found him one. I did find, strangely, about 5 WAA's on 12" vinyl. Is anybody interested in owning one of these?
-
Nice find Pete!
Id love a copy, mines is scrathed to death, the first time i ever heard WAA was on vinyl, it sounds so much better!
Let me know what you'd like for a copy :)
Cheers
-
I'd love one of those too, you have my e-mail so just let me know how much you want for one of those bad boys.

I'd like a copy! The rarest Cable item I've got at the moment is the 1997 tour CD featuring Cable, China Drum and Carrie. I didn't even get to see Cable play as they cancelled, due to bereavement if I remember correctly.
-
We did indeed cancel some dates around september 19 in 97, as my wife's mum died tragically that week - in fact it was the anniversary of it last week. I remember we were on the bus on our way to one of the gigs when that phone call came on the Sony house brick we rented at the time...wow that was 9 years ago!
-
Hey Pete! I would absolutely love one of those WAA vinyls. Pretty much the only major release I don't have. My email is chrishidden@yahoo.co.uk if you want to send details. Or here, either's fine!
I'd also love to buy a WAA t-shirt if there's another one spare?! :-[
;D
-
Hi Pete,
Hope your well. Wow what a find!! If there is any of those WAA albums going spare I'd really like one to. My email is www.gregs300@msn.com and on MySpace page www.Myspace.com/chopperrawson.
Look forward to hearing from you :)
Greg.

Hi Pete,
Nice to see you on here. As someone else said, if you have another spare WAA T-shirt (not the LP) then I'd be very interested. Is it the Drum N Bass one? I had one of these years ago but it met with an untimely death at Reading Festival one year; would be good to replace it after all this time!
I'm at: awkwardsilence@btinternet.com - let me know if you can help...
Best wishes,
John
-
How about a fiver plus p&p for a record? I don't want to be fleecing you lot when you're fans.
I'm afraid the t shirt cupboard is bare tho - the one I'm giving Joe is my own one. Yeh it's the drum and bass one...
-
Hi Pete,
That sounds good, how can we send you the money. P'&'P is no problerm drop me a line on my email www.gregs300@msn.com
Thanks Greg.
-

-

Sounds very fair. Seems like there's more than five of us wanting one tho!?
-
Ooh, t-shirts. My brother had one of the ones that had the last logo in the centre, but mirrored. Don't suppose there's any of those knocking about? I'd love one.
And seeing as we're peddling wares, I've a couple of brand new copies of the two Krunch! Records vinyl releases if anyone's interested.
-
I'd be interested in pretty much anything I could lay my mittens on, so to speak..
I bought one of the lovely charcoal grey t-shirts with cable on the front and cable written mirrored round the other way on the back on the 98 tour.. it looked big enough in the venue and turns out not even a small midget could wear it..
I just wanna wear the name proudly so where's the font if I have to make my own (even though that's a most uncool thing to do right??)
-
Hey Pete,
Did you figure out a way to pay for them? Are they still available?
Cheers
Alistair
-
Folks,
Don't panic - - I've still got them all and I haven't forgotten you! I've been in hospital having keyhole surgery and I feel like I've been hit by a bus! I'll post all details when I can sit at my computer for than 5 minutes. I have paypal, so that would be the choice of winners, otherwise a cheque would be cool. I need to go and get some of them there big brown envelopes what you put records in too, so I'll pop back in a day or two when I feel a bit more steady and post all the details. Ciaow 4 now...
-
Hi Pete,
Hope your feeling better. I will keep an eye out for the the info ;)
In the meantime get well soon.
Greg. :D
-
Oops, hope everythings alright, didnt mean to seem impatient :-[
Get well soon.
-
I'd love to buy one if there are any left!
About the only item i need!
-
OK...here's the dealio...I actually have 9 by the looks of things. I found another opened packet of what I presume would have been 25 units with about the same amount as the other box in. There may be one or two more lurking in boxes of cable related garbage, but I can't say for sure...so tonight I ordered a pile of cardboard 12" mailers and I guess about ?2 would cover postage? the envelopes worked out about 50-60p each and the postage will be about ?1.50 i would think...so i guess the way to do this is fastest fingers first?
Basically, the first 9 people to PayPal ?7 to me get one of the last WAAs on vinyl in the world ever.
Does that sound OK?
pete.darrington@ntlworld.com - mark your filthy lucre deposit 'When Animals weigh 180g'.
cheers...might be useful to keep track if you post here when you've paid. :)
-
Payment sent.
;D
-
Ditto!
Look forward to having a fresh new vinyl without the scratches. Make that gouges from about a million plays.
-
12" mailers arrived today, so I will start chucking these things out in the next day or so...anyone else here or is it just you two?
-
I'm sure plenty more will be on the bandwagon once they see this post!
-
Hi Pete
I got your email adress wrong so you wont have recieved the payment, as soon as i sober up il send you it again to the correct adress.
Sorry about that
Alistair
-
Hi Pete, money sent, it'll be great to have a new copy to wear out.
-
Thanks Pete,
The vinyl arrived today.
Ive just remembered when i bought my original copy all those years ago when i listened to it for the first time, i thought there was a major scratch right at the end of Do The Tube even though i coudnt see one so i took it back to the shop for replacement and when they guy in the store listened to it too he was utterly bemused and suggested the groove must be locked deliberately and then i thought cool, ive never had a record like this before! Though there were a few occasions id left it playing when i left the house and freaked ma mum out with a permanent screeching noise coming from my room. Whos idea was this? ;D
-
Easy, Cable did this on quite a few singles. Its a great idea. I think a Derby Band Called Twinkie copyed them as well.
All the best ;)
Greg.
-
Haven't got mine yet.
Can't wait.
:)
-
The rest have all been posted now - soz for the delay, I've been poorly (caught it off the kids, as damon will testify!) Mmm... the locked groove - without attempting to sound like I'm some kind of genius, it was me that suggested it - I bought a Godflesh LP in about 1988 and it does it at the end of that album. I just thought it was amazing, so I suggested we rip it off - they end the album on some bone crunching feedback looped forever.
There was something else really cool I wanted to try that I found on a Kate Bush record - concentric grooves. Two grooves run 'parallel' on the vinyl and it's basically pot luck to which song you get depending on where you put the needle down - with the Kate Bush record, it didn't tell you this, so I bought it (it was a 12", maybe 'running up that hill' or something) and I played the a-side about 5 or 6 times and then when I put the needle on the record to play it again I suddenly found myself listening to a different song! It freaked me out, so I took the needle off the record and put it down again and it played the wrong song again. I was convinced I must have turned it over and maybe the stickers were the same, so I did it again and this time it played the main track again! Like you, I asked the guy who ran the record shop I bought it from about it and he said he'd had stacks of people bring copies back. It was him that told me it was a trick called 'concentric grooves'. I've also seen records that play from the middle out and Sonic Boom did a record that was designed to be played at either 33 or 45 for different effect and it worked pretty well. we loved all that stuff - coloured vinyl, clever sleeves, nice tactile stuff - the promos for sublingual with the tear open strip were one of my favourites. Clear CDs was another first. All the kind of stuff you can only try when your label has wonga!
-
Nice one, im a sucker for novelty vinyls too, love coloured vinyl. One of my all time fave vinyls is a green and white splash effect hexagonal shaped vinyl by The Columbian Drum Cartell. The God Gave Me Gravity one was a new one too , ive never seen another record where you have to adjust the speakers to listen to each track. Genius. Love etched vinyls too, anything thats different which adds some fun. Ive heard of records that play from the inside out too, though i dont think i own one that does this. I like records with locked loops aswell for mixing with, thankfully by the time id got some of these id learnt what a locked groove is after WAA ;D
-
Hi Pete,it arrived safely this morning, thanks. I was a bit aprehensive as it is pretty warped (i suppose the attic is not the best place to store vinyl) but.....it plays perfectly, the floor was shaking and the neighbours wearing earplugs. Inside was one of the mailing list postcards that were always in your releases, the first line...."To get gig dates". That made me miserable, the fact that i'll probably never see Cable peform live again, (but ever hopeful). As i said before somewhere on this forum...Done Lying Down (remember them Pete?) played earlier this year after nine years away and i never thought they'd 'avit again.
Thanks again Pete,
Mogwai.
-
Nice insite to the art work and stuff. Cable sleeves were always cool. I think my favourite were sleeves were the ones off WAA.
All the best
Greg.
-
Last few of these left if anybody is still left wanting...
A small piece of trivia - all the art work for the inner sleeve/booklet was painted by one Daniel P Carter, just before he became bassplayer for 'A'. He is of course now a radio1 DJ, presenting the Rock Show.
-
Wow, I never know that, The Art work for that is great, He did a great job on the Lucky Nine album sleeve too!
Pete, have you still got any of thoes WAA albums left?, If so I'm back in Derby almost every weekend and could pick one while I'm there. I would still pay of corse!
All the best
Happy New Year everyone
Greg.
-
Yeah, any left still?? Not called in here for a bit and missed the initial run...
