searching a rare rec.

[wired]

...i'm searching for a old record called "Altern8 - Full on...Mask Hysteria" (on network rec.london?) from 1992...

could somebody help me with selling this record or make a mp3-copy (of the track called "frequency"???)

i really need it 8-() :)

[actionjetzon]

Altern 8 rocks...! but sorry, cannot help.

[wired]

i heard it only on friday when michele fasano played it at c22 ... i read it on my video tape when i recorded it on my pc yesterday, i only could read altern8, and the track had a vocal called "frequency" so i searched over sonicgroove..... the typical way searching for a very good track :-)))

[marcel]

a friend of mine got 2 or 3 copies of this altern8 album. hes really a fan of them..
he even named his djname after them
so i dont think he wiould give even one of these copies away and i dont believe you will find this anythere nowadays, sorry..

[wired]

@marcel... maybe your friend ripps these one track i search on mp3? i don't know other tracks of altern8, these records are long before my techno time... (i was 12 in 1992 :-))

[actionjetzon]

[marcel]

Isn't the 'Full on......' the Altern-8 LP? These old skool things always seem to cost a fortune in the UK. I managed to get hold of Frequency on 12" for..........30p about 2 months ago in a charity shop. The original Frequency 12" had a pink cover (if I remember rightly), only a few were released & it got deleted as soon as it was released. That's worth quite a bit of money.
The best altern-8 record was their debut 12", which was more like a mini-LP. It had a nice detroitey feel to it, I've forgotten the name of it, but its tucked away somewhere on a shelf.

[wired]

i think it's a album, yes...
a few minutes ago i got a 128kbit-copy of "frequency"... really good track... better mp3 than nothing... i'm not shure if i ever get a vinyl copy for a correct price...
the same as the "barcode population - uss severe" record... i searched for it a long time, then got it for 25dm from a small online recordstore... but at the end, the f*cking postman broke it on the way anyhow... and i got a rare, broken scrapped record

I saw a Network one a while ago, silver vinyl £10.
can't for the life of me remember where.........

yeah "full on.." is an album, and about the detroity feeling in altern8's music, i remember then i heard at my mates home one of the tracks was made with a "strings of life" sample..

@wired do you still want it then you have it now on mp3?

[wired]

i still want it as a vinyl record, but mp3 is better than nothing... i got this 128kbps mp3,... good enough for my car :-)))

[marcel]

mkay

[Irrungenwirrungen]

If I see it at a very reasonable price, Wired, I will get it for you.

[wired]

thanks, would be fine, really... even when it takes months or longer... i want it :-)))

Some guy on Ebay looks like he's selling a copy ...

[wired]

hmm i watch this auction, but i think it costs too much at the end...

I also ment to say that it might be worth droping Vinyl Exchange in Manchester a line .... massive second hand record shop and very very fairly priced.
