Finally bought a copy of the Egg album today! This brings my collection up to: -Egg -Xeneizes -Jinx U.S. explicit -Jinx U.S. clean -Jinx Japan -GD Icelandic green -GD Icelandic red -GD Japan Since it's Icelandic, I also have both O.N.E albums. Also on the topic of Icelandic music, if you haven't already, listen to the album A Long Time Listening by Agent Fresco. Check it out on gogoyoko (unlimited free listening): www.gogoyoko.com/#/album/A_Long_Time_ListeningThis is one of the best albums I've heard in years. Got a hard copy on it's way across the pond...

If I remember right, the EMI promo was just in a paper sleeve.
That's all I have of KUJ... I also wish I had more pictures of it.

That's an interesting bit... didn't know it was designed by Omar. The Icelandic version was designed by Steinar Valdimar Pálsson. The photography is listed as being done by Ari Magg (www.arimagg.com). Guerrilla Disco isn't shown in his portfolio... and for good reason. His work is phenomenal; it's worth taking a look at.

The box set is still listed with a $200 buy it now price. The same seller also has a copy of the Switchstance vinyl (number 100/100). I search ebay every few days hoping something new will come up.
I do have to say the artwork on the Japanese GD is a bit ugly compared to the Icelandic versions... the green one is my favorite. I'm excited to see the correct lyrics posted. There have always been those few lines that aren't completely clear.

That's one thing I've learned- download stuff as soon as you see it. That video of Copycat live you posted here was downloading while I watched it for the first time. For videos, I keep the original file, convert them to a common format (usually mpeg4), and also convert it to an mp3 file.

I ordered Guerrilla Disco through Bad Taste the day it was released, and I picked up Xeneizes at the same time... that was one of my smarter moves. My biggest regret is not getting the two vinyls for $75 when they were cleaning out... I still kick myself for that. Now I also wish I would have got a copy of KUJ when it was available. That's the only album I have never seen for sale used through the usual sources. I would kill to get my hands on a copy now; I like that album more than Egg and Switchstance. Even Switchstance has popped up a few times for sale (last time at $300). Two copies of Egg were on ebay two weeks ago. I bid up to about $70 and was outbid in a last few seconds. I had a higher bid set to go, but somehow I messed up and didn't click the right button to put it through. Egg does come up about every month though, so I will get my hands on a copy some day...
I was feeling the Quarashi magic today and decided it was time to get the Japan version of GD. Got a used copy for $18 shipped... if I don't get it now, I know I'll be pissed years from now that I didn't. And I had money in Paypal already, so why not?

I try and do what I can... we both know there's so much media and information that so few people have. It would be a shame to not share this stuff. Another rare piece I remember was an unauthorized record (as in, vinyl album) that contained the song Guerrilla Disco. It was for sale on ebay Australia several years ago. At the time, no one knew what it was and it ended up selling for dirt cheap. Looking back, it was something I should have jumped on.

This album contains scans of Switchtance, Egg, Xeneizes, and Guerrilla Disco (Icelandic red). There are pictures of the front and back of the sleeve that KUJ came in. There's also a picture of what seems to be a very early EMI promo copy of Xeneizes. s4.photobucket.com/albums/y147/elyk89/quarashi%20cd%20scans/I also own the green Icelandic version of Guerrilla Disco and could scan it, if anyone wants it.

Home is a great album. I bought a hard copy of it along with One Day last year. Each album comes in a card sleeve and includes a lyric booklet and poster. The sleeve and lyric booklet are sewn together. Each album is a unique combination of colors and stitching patterns. It's probably the coolest album I own. Check out the pictures on their Facebook page to see them being made: www.facebook.com/opeeneternal?v=wallAnd of course, the music is fantastic! The album is all about his return home after being away for some time. The lyrics are meaningful, and the music is fairly unique for a hip-hop act. I highly recommend buying the album. To get a hard copy, contact Opee through Facebook.
