Does anybody know anything about this release? It looks like the "Nothing Songs" releases but this shows the picture of the Michael Leigh pocketbook on the back and it says "Japan extremely Ltd issue 3CD Picture Disc box set on Grand Lodge lbl, full thick old style jewel case p/s(Grand Lodge GL-003/004/005)-" I am unfamiliar with this and it's not on Olivers site. any info?

Velvetfan, looks to me like a reboot - its the same material. As the discs aren't shown difficult to say whether its a silver pressed factory production.

There have been a few rehash boots turning up on Ebay recently which look to be factory pressed discs of VU/Reed material. All are reboots of commonly available material usually with dull new artwork, which is probably why they haven't been 'catalogued' cos no-one here wants to buy 'em!

That's what I was guessing; just wanted to be sure a goodie didn't slip by. I have the Nothing Songs first release with DVD-R of Bataclan. I hated that I still can't find "the one that got away". There was a box set with all 4 Ultra rare Trax Vol 1-4 in a slipcover. I have all 4 separately but have never been able to find the Box set version. I actually have a couple as part of the special What Goes On - Issue Number 5 Box Set (only 10) and they are part of the set. It also came with White Light/White Heat
Promo CD single, Sire-Warners-Alfredo 936245464-4-2, Spain, 1996
Limited numbered edition of 10! Included in the epic deluxe pals-of-VUAS edition of WGO #5 box set. With lyrics, black-velveted White Light cover, complete with skull, front and back, and a dedication to Sterling. One of my favorite V.U. fan collectibles.

What also threw me was the really high price. Maybe the seller is pricing it high to try to fool us---almost worked on me.

High price or not, we've got all this material 100 times over! If you want to create your own slipcase for whatever bootleg release you have, follow this guys lead. And yes, this is 100% home-made:

So who bought the reel-to-reel tape on ebay? $320. Not totally outrageous.
