This, my dear, is none other than the Hi Scores ep, in the flesh. The really frightening thing is that when I recently saw it at a Tower Records, and it had a sticker on it that read: Import CD w/Bonus Tracks. I hope I am correct in thinking that this is a gross mistake, or else I really have to go to Tower Records now!

It'll be a mistake, but if I were you, I'd go anyway :arrow: :shock:

No, it's High Scores like zander two said..
And btw, all releases by Skam have braile on them.

Thanks for being a jerk, but the cover of the one that I saw at the record store had SKAM printed on it, and it isn't like that on fredd-e's site. It was just a question and seeing that other people answerd my question your jerk response was not necessary.

What you saw is the 2005 reissue of High Scores (already reissued in 1999 in the UK on CD & 12''). Seems it's a US reissue this time. Jerking or not jerking?

From the sound of it, DocteurOrlof might be doing his own jerking for quite a while. :P

No, it's just another episode of the wonderfull saga "USA vs France (we saved your ass twice, so don't mess with us)". Gonna be a pleasant topic if we keep on going this way...

I've been trying to figure out how this thread got from Hi Scores reissues to World War II, but I can't figure it out...

:shock:

Quite simple:
1) Question ("what is this this thing called "High Scores?")
2) Sarcasm (couldn't resist, sorry)
3) Insult ("hey, fredd-e's site has no scan of back covers, you jerk")
4) War

No we're all dead, and we'll never know if it was the 2005 reissue of "High Scores", if there was bonus tracks, if the flyer I had with my old copy was reprinted too.

So let's forget these lines, and back to the point: did you buy this Skam CD?
