Heartland

having not 'been there' all my tsom is from fairs (bar VS etc)
i've only got one of each mind...not every release of everything, it all sounds the same

the most i haven't paid for a record was £25 for adrenachome i saw in a 'certain basement second-hand shop' in LS6, but it was six months after SGWBM was out... six months earlier and i would have shelled out for it, probably

I'd probably pay it.

Paid £40 for a really nice digipack Frankfurt 2003 boot from ebay a few years back. Ridiculous money when I think about it.

If looked after, Adrenochrome will last a life time. Beer, on the other hand, will only result in a headache that will pass in 5 hours.

I'm going to go with Adrenochrome, but that's not me being obsessive, that's me being wise with my money.

This has reminded me, there was a shop near the Corn Exchange in Leeds (apologies to non Leeds peeps as you prob won't know it) called Vinyl Demand or something. It shut a few years back.

I got SSV from there on CD, paid £25 for it. They had the Dr Jeep & Detonation Boulevard CD singles in there for £30 each!

(No I didn't by the way, I got them from eil.com)

Vinyl Tap, which has since turned into a web-based record shop : http://www.vinyltap.co.uk/

They used to have great stuff, but I also remember it being quite pricey.
There was another shop in the same area which was pretty good, but I can't remember the name. More reasonable price-wise and a good deal of bootlegs.

poss' Racks of Wax?

VT certainly knew the 'list' price, but also had good condition stock, bought ToL 7" and Space by Space LP there (a whopping £25, a lot of money in them days)

Vinyl Tap was on Call Lane, then moved behind the Corn Exchange; what was the one that used to be on Lower Briggate called?

I got it for a very fair price from another Heartlander!

I had never been in this place, but knew about it.
Then I bought Tom's spare copy and passed by his place to pick it up (I remember quite well because it was raining cats'n dogs that night and my lovely Suzuki ZR gave the ghost a few miles further down the road)...

... a little bit later I signed up

Big Si, would you go as far as this?

The only high price i will pay for sisters material is future material. Thinking of silver shining discs, golden sleeves, covers with LED-lights (like Pink Floyd) etc.

I would pay £15 for Body Electric, maybe £20 for Damage Done. But only because those are the two best singles. Not because they're "rare".

I think that's the one I was referring to.

If I was a Sunn O))) fan then probably, definitely, yes. Unfortunately, I don't believe I've heard them, and am currently concentrating on Earth. Im not buying them because they have a value, i'm buying them because i'm a "completist" when it comes to bands I very much like. One day i'll get round to buying an authentic Damage Done and possibly even a Red Vinyl Belgian Temple of Love.

Luckily I'm a confirmed bachelor with no children and no mortgage, so after putting beer token's and food stamps aside, i've got some spare cash for self indulgences

Fancy a pint wi me Pat+Andrew come this Friday?
It could mean some 24+1 Wind Hawk Men

n' some people respond tae their voice mail, BTW Erse!

You talkin' to me?

What bloody Voicemail? If I miss a call on me moby it tells me, and I get a text telling me if I've got a voicemail message!

No can do i'm afraid. I'm working early Saturday morning/afternoon and then it's my flatmate's b'day so i'll be up the dancin'

See you in March

i just paid (GULP!) £200 for a copy of 'the blood' on 7" by the cure, there are only 300-400 in the world and go for a LOT more than that generally! and i now don't need much by them to get everything i want by them, my sisters collection is by comparison rather sad although the i have the songs. my mate used to have 'damage done' and 'body electric' but sold it on ebay, the rotter!

Option one for me. If I spend so much money that´ll be for something that lasts!

I did get a signed double 7" of The Lorries Crawling Mantra from them, back when I had disposable income

I don't think it was Crash. The shop I'm thinking of had a copy of Damage Done on the wall for all the time I knew of the place.

There was Replay, before it moved.

And waaay back in the mists of time, Vinyl Addiction. Wonderful shop stocked to the gills with Sisters bootlegs.

That's the fellow! Thanks Dave. My memory...

blimy yes, that is way back
well done that man!

The name Replay does ring a bell. That may be the one I used to go to.
I also remember Polar Bear, but that was a bit later, wasn't it ?

I bought body electric at a record fair at the NEC, some time in the early 90's, paid £60 for it. Bought Damage Done at the same time for £150. I had obsessive completist disorder back then, thankfully it’s cleared up now. £210 on two 7 inch singles is still my most pointlessly extravagant purchase. There's no way I'd spend £60 or even £35 on Body Electric these days. I'd spend it on videogames instead

Me has a scary thought...

If I went off the smokes for a while, I could easily invest the same amount of money in a BE, and a lot of people (most people?) would likely call it a better use of money.

Fortunately I'm not the type to agonize too much over these things.

It came through this morning.

It is sublime.

Worth every penny.
