awesome, thanks polar. i have the vinyl but havent owned a turntable for years, so never got a chance to do this. i like the way it sounds at 33 1/3, the bongo drums definitely sound like they should be at this speed, and the track doesnt sound so hectic.
So they did use 808 drums on this track, interesting. It appeared that way on the original version but I wasn't sure. Thanks for posting that on Youtube, sir. <3
an even bigger mystery is that it's been on sale at bleep for weeks/months now. if these really are promo copies, and quite a number of them have been given away at the lighthouse gig, how can so many copies still be around, roughly 8 years later?

Like someone else on another thread said, Warp probably found a few in the warehouse around the time of Warp20 last year, or they may have re-pressed it.

probably more than a few. they are STILL on sale.
quoted from bleep:
Pressed on heavy weight 180 gram one-sided vinyl. This is a limited and very rare Boards Of Canada 'Geogaddi' Promo 12" produced to give away at a Warp Records party in London back in Dec 2000. The two unmarked tracks are "Alpha and Omega" in its entirety and "Beware the Friendly Stranger" that is placed on a special locked groove to keep the track in a perpetual loop.
Unmarked other than a blue sleeve and a blue hexagon on the inner label. These unplayed limited vinyls are exclusive to Bleep.com. Grab one before they go....
