30 seconds of silence…original???

#

Started by Fat Kid Suicide in Therapy? Buy, Sell & Trade

Within the past couple of days, 2 cassette versions of the 30 seconds of silence demo have appeared on eBay. I am just curious, does anyone think they are legit?

Regards,

FKS

It is a bit weird … two of them appearing all of a sudden … how difficult is to make a demo tape and photocopy a black and white cover? Not difficult at all I would say .. I can do that .. I would suggest if anyone has a picture of the actual tape to post it. Has anyone REALLY seen the REAL deal? :o

G-13,

Agreed. I also want to see the original.

I am really concerned because, from what I have heard, there were only 200 or so of these made. My best guess is that there may be 75 left now, with maybe 10 in collectors shape.

Can anyone help me out here? I collect, and dupes don’t matter to me.

FKS.

The other thing you could do is to ask for a pic of the tape to be sent to you via email from the sellers in ebay. SInce they have a pic of the cover I am sure they can sent one of the tape. If you get sthng please email it to me as well. I am very curious. Cheers.

Title: yeah…

Already have. Waiting on the seller to get back to me. This tape is so old, it would have to show at least SOME wear.

No, strangely enough. The only commonality they have is their country. They are both from the UK. Other than that, nothing.

I think it may be a crazy stroke of luck. :cool:

Title: A message from Michael about the tape…

Thanks to Hoochalobster, goddess of all things Therapy? for getting Michael involved in this :D


“It’s definately the correct cover but it could always be a photocopy of an original. Sorry to be picky but I’d probably have to see the actual cassette (we used a very specific one) and the labels on it (also very specific). The question now also arises if it is an original, who would have got their hands on one? We only did about 50 or so and most of them ended up with A+R men who probably binned it and a few friends and fans back here in Ireland. So, I can’t really decide whether its an original or a not.”

Well, you heard it. We really need to find out what the tape looks like. I am waiting to hear back from both sellers on this.

Here is the really sick part:

Less were made than I had first esstimated. That means that MAYBE 10 of these still exist, of which 5 of these exist in collector’s condition. That makes these VERY valuable. Even more so than the Meat Abstract 7”, or The Bad Mother CD 5”. :eek: Then again, the price is all dependent upon what the T? market can bear, isn’t it?

Oh well, these next few days ought to be fun. ;)

Dano: Sure, but…that is all a matter of money and time. If I can afford to win it, I would love to make anyone a copy that wants. That is, as long as it is okay with the mates :)

It is legit, as confirmed by Michael from T?. He knows the guy selling the tape. He got it originally from Michael.

You mean bought? The £105 one was Timfrichards, I’m gonna assume the same Timfrichards who used to post here. I couldn’t find the other auction so I dunno, went for a lot less apparently but I don’t think it’d been confirmed as an original.

Title: The last one to close…

The last one to close…The one timfrichards won for 105, was legit. Michael verified it. However, the other appears so as well. The seller got back to me several days later with a description of the tape itself. It was correct. Like I said, we have two very rich, very lucky people here ;)

If i had an orignal 30 Seconds tape i think i would be too scared to ever play it incase the tape got chewed up.
