Hello
I am new here and i just have a question about a record in my collection. It's a copy of some girls in a wodden box limited edition. My ex is nr 210/500.
I havent seen this edition anywhere else. Anybody on this forum that has a copy? I'm not trying to sell. Just asking.

There's one for Vision Thing too.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Nice pictures :notworthy:

Like some of you might guess, I have these boxes as well - at least the Some Girls Wander box, re Vision Thing, I have to check my collection :roll:

However, re the history of these boxes, they were issued by German music retailer WOM (World Of Music) sometime in the nineties as a limited edition of 500 copies each. The original sale price was DM 99.00 ( ie. ~€50.00) and these items were selling somehow quick, all were sold after a few days/weeks as far as I reckon ...

I don't think I have ever come across either one and thus haven't got them in my collection.
I do have the US version on Elektra of SGWBM in that hardcover slipcase with the cardboard pictures of the old singles sleeves. Always liked that version too...

Selling an official item in an unofficial box? Again, I'd call that semi-official ;-)

IIRC, World of Music (SATURN's WOM) had special agreements with record companies for special feature items (like the Sisters boxes and other items of other bands at the time) to promote sales, not only record sales but in order to make known the WOM brand itself as well ...
