that's why not too much into getting their singles, too expensive for ~4 tracks
I'm just thinking about buying the one they're supposed to release at the end of the year (if really they release it haha  )
btw my collection is basically the one on Discogs except I also own (and have read) the Prodigy biog by Martin James as well as a mousepad made of this picture which I love
my XL copies of Jilted, FOTL and AONO are "Made In Canada", and on my Jilted copy (FSOL too, I think), it is specifically written "Montreal (Quebec)"

Sure we could work something out for an exchange for Canada releases ?

Would a 'swap 2 (or more) of my common item' for '1 of your rarer foreign issue' policy work?
Or how about a straight 'send cash buy it now' style? Ideal for people who don't have or want an eBay account.
On the flipside, would you trust someone you only know through a web forum to send you your stuff once you'd sent theirs to them? Not that I don't trust you lot, but with eBay, at least you've got buyer protection...

well, I thought about this already, but I wasn't sure if people would be interested for this
but, like jetsonik said, I don't use any shopping website, I don't even have a credit card yet (I could get one but I'm not too attracted), so I don't know how I could trade easily
but, the way I am, I would trust you guys with free exchanges, I must admit

Something like that, yes. I wouldn't use it to rip people off, purely like an exchange of UK/ non-Uk releases so that both parties get what they want at the right price.
I would trust someone off here (if they weren't a new user who I didn't know). They would get one chance to prove they were trust-worthy and become a trusted trader.
Could maybe set up a trader forum and leave ebay-style feedback (?)
Personally I'd prefer an item for an item style exchange as I'd be after non-UK releases from users like yourself who can get that stuff as easily as I can get UK releases.
Paypal could be a way of sorting either sinlge payments or to 'make up the cost difference'.
Just an idea...

How about a marketplace area on the forum where people can put up their trade items with details of what they want as a straight swap only. No actual money is involved at all; it's a straight item for item swap and it's first reply - first served.
For example, 'Seller' would put up a message:
Seller wrote: I have a copy of Breathe on Intercord (XL/INT 827.928), with excellent condition CD, inlay and case. I'd like to swap for a copy of Out Of Space on Torso (Torso CD233) in similar condition. Then 'Buyer' would reply: Buyer wrote: I have an original copy of OOS on Torso in above average condition, I'd like to trade with you.
Each person would then pm each other to agree on postage to the other's country. Postage prices should be similar from A to B and B to A, and all details should be agreed on before anything changes hands.
Of course, it's a trust thing, and as rsshawn says a feedback forum is a great idea to let others know that both people are trustworthy.
Any other members got any input on the subject?

To go with that, instead of a "I have this to trade", you could put a 'I would like' or "I can get" post up
For example, FeeL-X can get Canadian releases and I can get UK releases. I'm pretty sure we're both not going to go out and buy a whole load of stock incase someone wanted a particular cd/12".
In our case it would be
-Me: I can get firestarter UK cd for £x, inc del.
-Feel-x: I can get you firestarter Canada for £z (£ equivalent) inc del.
No-one needs to hold any stock and if they can't get a particular cd/12" etc at that time then it's unlucky. Then it's upto the two parties to decide on a cash deal alternative.

rsshawn's idea is interesting, and like jetsonik said, I wouldn't trade for money i think
but I don't think the singles are made in Canada, only the albums (or a few ones)
like I think my copy of Dirtchamber is an import of England, there's no country detail on my Experience Expanded or my Their Law 2CD, and I don't own any single
also, a copy of Jilted made in Canada is more interesting than AONO, cause it's written full of details on the back, on the booklet and "Made In Canada" on the CD
AONO just got a little "Made In Canada" on the back (lower right, under the barcode), but apart from that I bet it's identical to the original

Isn't this going a little off-topic? I think most of the above posts belong in the "trade" one.

Maybe a little bit off-topic from "showing your collection" but it's a follow-on as people are trying to increase their collection.
Which "trade" topic do you mean?
This one?
http://www.brainkiller.it/public/forum/ ... ight=trade
That's not a trade topic neither really.

Well, I've asked Mindblow if that tape exists, and he says that he doesn't know, he's not 100% sure about it and that I should ask Arie about it.
So, Arie?
