Haha I had the exact same thought. Can't find an anagram thingy online that'll handle that many letters though.

I thought the same when I got 'harvest' one time and 'earth' another, but the remaining letters didn't make much sense either time.

Mine has it on there as well, picked up at a record shop in Miami, so I'm guessing it is on all of them.

must be. the way this thread was going was like it was on the japanese release only.
does anyone have a disc that does NOT have that written on it?

Good thought, but bubkis on mine. I assume all the ones from Bleep were pressed in UK, anybody have the Japanese vinyl?

yea i dont know what to make of these, what appear to be random photos, AG, could be short for Agriculture. the numbers upside down. oh dear, theyre having fun with this thats all i can think. they could be just that random photos. they've used the number '4' on IABPOITC, spray painted in yellow on to a tree, like a marker tree fellers use etc. 4 track ep, 4th vinyl release... i dunno

It seems somewhat odd that there is only one page on the NCD website, almost as if it serves no purpose. Any one seen any code or certificate info on there?

I imagine 2 viable options, BoC fan hoax or BoC clue site. Why else pay for a domain name?

yea its been discussed a lot on here, going back 2 years maybe, not sure. it could be an abandoned idea, this whole New Seeds thing and Dawn Tomorrow plus the play on Nuclear vibe etc.
the Owl of Minerva etc, we may never know. its all very odd
