david kitchen replies (from a cybercafe, urgh!)
er, we've got two.
plus there's three that Mark Jones owns,
and then there's the one that Stef owns.
sorry, that makes it six doesn't it!

anyway ours;

the first we bought for £10 from a rep who works for 3MV, he didn't know
what it was but just that it was by Belle and Sebastian and had a
blue-ish cover. the cover's slightly tarnished from sitting in a van for
8 months, but the vinyl is mint. we've lent this copy to one of our
dearest friends for as long as we've got our other copy. So simon's got
this one in East London

the second one we bought from a guy off the paper version of the mailing
list, we paid £60, gave him £40 of CD's and promised him 10% dicount for
the shop we worked in at the time, he didn't have a record player and
said he'd rather someone that loved them could listen to it. We also had
to do him a pro copy on a very good tape to make sure he still had a
copy. The record itself is perfect, as is the sleeve. We've wrapped in
plastic and keep it safe when people come over. The computer and the
record appear to be the two things we can't live without, oh, and maybe
each other. This copy is held 19 floors above West London, as close to
heaven as you can get with concrete.

mark jones's and stef's;

well they do own Jeepster and have every right to own copies of the
album. mark's are in london whilst stef's is in winchester.

er also, some 25-ish were given to very ungrateful journo's at the time!
we do have a full list of who and where, but we're probably not allowed
to say. these are the sort of people that slagged it to hell and back at
the time and now come grovelling for an interview. the only exception
being Jo Whiley who has always been supportive, by the by, she's in west
london.

so that accounts for about 31.

oops! i nearly forgot but Stuart Murdoch has one too! that's in West
Glasgow.

so now that's 32.

love, david.

oh and anyone who sent in orders for merchandise, or sent ill-fitting
shirts back to us, fret not as we're doing them at Jeepster and even
though we've charged your cards yesterday, they'll be shipped out on the
next postmans van after Tuesday, and for badges and stuff, well nearer
the end of the week.
