GBMS/Blue Orchid, Listening Party Pass,St Andrews June/6 ??

Post by IamFrank007 »

I bought 6 copies of Blue Orchid 7" single on V2 ,on Ebay in 2007 ,all I remember about it was he was from Michigan(can't remember what city or Ebay name). As a freebie, he threw in this pass, I always thought he made it himself . Then I heard talk on WS of a Listening Party. Could this be authentic pass for that party ?? Or like I thought just something he made and gave me ? Can anyone here tell me the truth? Swank would know for sure,wouldn't he ?

Think I paid 7 bucks for the first record and 2 a piece for the other 5, so like 25 with shipping. He said I could have as many as I wanted, I thought 6 was lots. I gave one away last year and still have 5

I definitely remember there being a listening party when GBMS came out - I remember reading many articles about it being in some half-swanky lounge with it blaring over speakers that were everywhere

I've seen these around Feebay a time or two. They do look nice, as far as GBMS-era stuff goes.

http://littleroom.whitestripes.net/inde ... 6177&st=40 It coincided with a Detroit Pistons basketball playoff game which got a lot more attention - http://espn.go.com/nba/recap/_/id/25060 ... miami-heat

I've seen that pass a few times and I've got one myself. It's quite cheaply made and isn't exactly fantastic looking so I wouldn't pay more than a couple of dollars for one.

(NB there was an earlier V2 listening party in New York in April 2005 but it wasn't open to the public. Miss Modernage attended and reported - see http://www.themodernage.org/2005/04/13/ ... -me-satan/. Wonder what happened to the video footage they showed at that one?)
