[gOnXy]

I have a little question for all the Skin fans in the UK.
The CD's Lost & found, Skinny Dipping & For your Ears Only are manufectured CD editions or are CD-R bootlegs???
Please let me know

Another question, somebody have the SKIN japanese re-release with 6 bonus tracks?

Please let me know

11 years ago after the final gig the fan club made Skinny Dipping and For your ears only available. Of course I snapped up a copy of each. So I guess that they are rare and very hard to find.

OK, BUT THE QUESTION ARE THESE CD'S MANUFACTURER CD OR ARE CD-R COPIES?

[Jamie]

They're NOT manufactured as such. But they're not exactly cd-r's either. Well, apart from Lost and Found what i think IS cd-r. Will dig them out and double check though

I think you're right Jamie.
I just checked my Lost & Found and it definitely looks "homemade" so a cd-r rather than "manufactured"... I seem to have misplaced my other ones though! Eeek! Will have to find them!!!!!!

I Have Skinny Dipping and For Your Ears Only and I think they are "homemade" - they certainly don't look professionally produced. If I remember right, (let's face it, it was a long time ago...) when Skin announced that they were splitting, these CDs were produced and made available to the fanclub to allow everyone the chance to own the previously unreleased material before Skin disappeared forever...
(But like I said, I could be wrong!)

They're still awesome CD's and I'm glad I managed to get copies of them....

the Cd's in question were sold by Skin at gigs on a tour they did in 1994. You can hear everything they played if you have their back catalogue (which fortunately I have) or if you have live at the borderline or Hasta La Vista baby!

Actually thats wrong. For Your Ears, Skinny Dipping and Lost & Found were ALL released after the band split up through the Skin fan club.
Skinny Dipping is unreleased demo's from the Debut album.
Lost & Found is SOME unreleased songs from the Lucky sessions AND some b'sides from the Lucky singles
For your Ears Only was recorded as they thought they might get a record deal in America after Experience Electric came out, so they recorded some new songs and done new versions of 5 old Skin songs

Sorry mate but I definately bought my copies from a skin show, may not have been 1994 but it was definately from a gig at Rock City that Skin played.

I cant remember exactly when it was but I know I didnt buy them from the fan club!

Well i've no idea where u got them from then, as they weren't made till after Skin split. For Your Ears wasn't even recorded till around '97

[mbkted]

Just checked, I dont have the For Your Ears only one but I have the other two. Recently ordered BFSOL from Japan too. Hope it comes and is worth it.

Either way the new stuff and tour will be awesome regardless of where i got em from!

[Jamie]

BFSOL is a great album. There's some songs the same as on Experience as it came out 1st. But also some gems that didn't appear anywhere else. Make sure to give a good listen to the song I Don't Mind (written by Dicki) great song indeed and should have been played live
