I've been on the lookout for this tape for quite a while, but I always had a price in mind that I wasn't going to go over. One came up for sale last week, and it was fairly smooth sailing. It's a hard one to guess a price on, with them largely circulating in buy/sell/trade groups as opposed to eBay or Discogs channels.
Basement - Two Songs - City Of Gold Records - 1st Press - Clear Shell /100 W/ Yellow Variant Cover /25
There are four covers on four colours, each out of 25, and they make up the variants as all the shells are clear. I honestly wasn't fussed which one I ended up with. It contains two demo tracks of songs that would end up on 'I Wish I Could Stay Here', namely 'Plan To Be Surprised' on the A-Side and 'Every Single Word' on the B-Side.
You know this came out a while back when City Of Gold released it right? I'm sure a few readers had issues with that label at some point (myself included), but they did release some cool stuff for Basement.
Inside the J-Card are the lyrics for the two songs, and a thank you. The text at the bottom is so small I struggle to read it, but I assume it could be recording credits maybe?
I was happy with this, as aside from the demo cdr that I've never seen a copy of this meant I had one of each release. Now they go ahead and release the Promise Everything promo tape that I'm going to have to chase down. Anyone know anyone selling?
Cheers!
