Fortunately Body Electric turns up quite often in different shapes. I saw it popping up on several record fairs as well. I paid about 50 Gulden (approx. 22 Eur.) 10 years ago.

Good luck with bidding, Diego!

I'm afraid I'm in the same boat, Diego... I'd like to complete my collection (I only need the Damage Done to have'm all), but I don't think I'll get enough cash for it the next 20 years or so. I do have a roof over my head though ;D

And the Body Electric I have came fairly priced (50 euro). I bought it off Ebay from a fellow Antwerpian about 3 years ago. When I went over his house to collect the single (no way I was gonna trust the postal dudes with it), the seller turned out to be an old schoolmate and a Heartlander... Very nice way to have met him again. :D

Oh, and many, many congrats with your buy, Cardoman. So the quest has ended for you... :innocent:

Thanks, radioajamaica! :wink: the quest for the holy grail has finally ended... Searching a lot in Brussels (Anspachlaan) and local small stores all over the country ended with a finding on Ebay...

Still we have that roof too (luckely).

Don't worry You'll find it, Ozpat and Diego too...some day everything you need... It's something that belongs to Heartlanders!

Cheers friends

Koen! You just bought a house. Increase the mortgage by 500 euros which is really nothing in the total amount and you can buy Damage Done... :lol: :wink:

I will get it one day... :D

Paul, quantity of this thing? What is it? Most unique piece sisters?

De ene zijn rib is al wat langer dan de andere zijn rib :wink: 500€?

Euh, a little bit more than that :innocent:
It is actually the Holy Grail for every Sisters collector... Only very few made... It's a box-set with the first four 12" singles. There's a version with a white label and a version in black. Mine is a black one.

Thanks for the link Paul. Very nice item indeed. Guess you don't know how many were produced back then?

50 boxes.

There a 2 versions. One with a white label glued on it, on which all songs are printed. And one without label, but all songs are printed on the box itself in white lettering (as in picture).

I've seen a box like that at Uncle Sisters once... very rare item indeed!
Wasn't there a promosheet that came with it too?

Nope, it's what I know !!! I collect Sisters vinyl for quite some years now, and believe me, once a box pops up once in about 10 years, prices go above 800 GBP for sure!

Yes I know, Paul. I've been collecting for aslong as I can remember... there's some very rare material around and that box certainly is one of them. :notworthy: :notworthy:
It was more a nudge nudge wink wink type of reply :wink:
