That's a "little" less than what I paid for it. .. :?

Did they have other copies?
there was one copy, sitting up on the top shelf behind the counter in the old Eastern Bloc, before Madchester arrived [88-89?], i didn't even see it - too busy looking at Smiths fanzines. It was my friend who pointed it out

i collect DD and BE because over the year I got lucky and found them with people who just didn't love them anymore
Goths have feelings too

I know Robin has a couple of 'm too. He does have (or had) the acetates AFAIK. He was also co-writer for an article in a vinyl collectors book. I still have the article (it's called "F is for Fake" or something like that ...) Nice one, although too little credits for Uncle Sister though ...

Hi Paul, what's AFAIK and acetate is that the very first release on another material?

You mean the sisters values in the guide are low?

AFAIK - As Far As I Know

Acetates are test pressings of the record before they go into production. They are pretty fragile and only good for a few plays. I think I'm right with this!

Yes, you are :wink:

Acetates are not for playing purposes, only for collecting :wink:

I know , besides Robin, that Y from Canada had a couple of them. I don't know if he had acetates from DD, but definately from some other Sisters records. Extremely rare and very expensive on the market.

No, Uncle Sister is the nickname for Robin! :lol:
Without him the article would be worthless, so he should get more credits from the writers of the book.

Congrats!

The seller bought that copy from me a couple of years ago so I hope you take good care of it! I bought this and another copy at a record-fair in Stockholm in 1990, I payed 50 swedish kronas for them together (~ 4 euros)

Hope you'll like it, it's really nice!

I don't think that in 20 years anyone is interested in the Sissies or their bootlegs.
A second morgage on your house would be a better option. :lol:

Well done...@Paul: wouldn't say that. Remember the day that Herman (Brood) jumped... I should be lucky if I had a Brood now. For me it's the pleasure of collecting...

I always wanted to do that while adding years and events ;D

falco's Rock Me Amadeus starts with an intro in the same vein, giving a timeline of Amadeus' life and it ends with the line I quoted
