Big fan from Australia here, just wondering if anyone knows how to get their hands on a copy of AMV1? I can't find it anywhere, not the itunes store, not on the PL70 store. Is there a digital copy anywhere I can buy? It's the one glaring hole in my PUTS collection. Been listening to some of the tracks on Youtube but it doesn't do it justice.
Thanks

I don't think that it is legitimately available for Download but maybe another forum head can enlighten us if they know of a place where it IS available without thieving...

It's not really surprising this is pretty hard to find considering there were only 1000 copies made... I've seen a few pop up on ebay and discogs in the last year or so but always in the range of $50-$100.
I'd also be very careful as at least one of the auctions looked like a bootleg (with a brown inlay instead of the b&w one). There must've been a thread on here about that particular one, too - you should be able to dig that up using the search function...

i knew about it for years before i got a copy and heard it.
in my case i got super lucky, getting a copy for around 40 bucks including shipping from the UK due to a stash that yoyopo came across mysteriously (not to put you on yoyopo's case, i don't think he has anymore).
i'm personally kind of happy that i didn't find it online or abundantly available in general because when i heard it for the first time, it was all the more special and meaningful.
every hole i've had in my PUTS collection has always been eventually filled after a good 6-12 months of meticulously haunting ebay/discogs/putsonline/googling
happy hunting, it's worth every penny if you find one for big bucks

Copped mine for $100 on eBay (after a particularly fierce bidding war with another guy on these forums). Turns out it was an original (checked it with other people here, and I'm 99% sure), but be careful of scammers.
If I had an extra, I'd hook you up, but these are a little hard to come by. Keep watching for them. Discogs.com might have one for sale every now and then too.

Its arrived and let me just confirm...its the sh!t (not cheap for a cd...but worth every penny).
Its like owning a new P album, but one from the past!
Shame it was never cut on wax - I'd love to be able to drop the needle and sit down with a brew and enjoy it in the best way...

Wasn't there a story that suggested that there were only a couple of hundred of these pressed up for a European tour. I'm sure Thes told the story to O Dub on a recent podcast.
Picked my copy up at a PUTS show & had it signed (very badly with a combination of sh!tty pens at the end of their lives) - think it cost £10 when it came out..

Well mine is a b&w inlay...but its from the US. If the original's were only for the European tour, how did mine end up over there?
It better be f***ing real for the price I paid!
I'll check it tonight, but I think all that's on the actual cd is 'PUTS' and then '6004' (or something like that).

Not entirely sure about the numbers, E, but I'd say it's safe to assume there were 1000 at most. And wasn't that podcast story about Thes having to sell the last 50 or so copies to some guy at the airport because they wouldn't let him bring 'em on the plane or something..? (Might be getting several things mixed up here, but I know there was something to that effect in circulation.)

Here is the original Thread where this podcast was posted in the P-Forum: HERE
That whole story is told by Thes in this Oliver "Mark-Ass" Wang Podcast: THE SIDEBAR #15: THES ONE OF PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS
Thes said that they put the 1000 ltd copies on the CD but really only made around 150 physical copies of which he sold in Manchester...
f***ing love AMV1!

This is how mine looks too. It has the PUTS square (faux-CTI) logo and "PUTS 6004" on the actual disc, and it's a slimline case with a paper insert. Pretty shoddy lookin', but amazing tracks.
I remember hearing that there weren't actually 1000 copies too... I actually forgot to add that little piece of trivia to my AMV1 album page. I'll have to do that soon, but for now, I added a "highlight" to my page so people will know in the short-term.
If you see it and it looks legit, COP IT!
