For me it was either of the following:
A mint condidtion LP of Gift, for £3.50 in an Oxfam shop a couple of years ago.
Or possibly this bundle for £75 from a shop in Adlershot:
Body Electric (slightly tatty sleeve)
Walk Away 12" Promo (in WEA sleeve)
This Corrosion 12" DJ Promo with carrier bag
This Corrosion 7" Boxed Set
Dominion 12" Boxed Set

I bought a collection once (about 20 Sisters records for 25 Euro). It consisted of most of the 12"s, the This Corrosion 7" box, a few bootlegs and three copies of Floodland...
It filled a few gaps in my collection, sold the rest and actually made money with it

About 25 bootleg tapes for free.
ARAAHP BudKon flexi for about a tenner.. whether that's a bargain or a ripoff is subjective.

Nice find. Even better that yer made money back with a profit.
As for the "glorious past". I agree. I was going to both the Leeds and Manchester gigs, but after the Leeds gig my impression was...they've stagnated and so I didn't bother with the Manchester gig. Not that the Leeds gig was a bad gig, it was "business as usual." I won't be going to another Sisters gig for a few years, or unless there's a new album out.

Never been lucky enough to get a genuine Sisters bargain, most of my stuff came in regular priced. A record shop did give me 4 quid once to take a copy of "What's THIS For...!" off them, but that doesn't count.

Swapped a Nosferatu CD for the Giving Ground single. See, it is possible to turn crap into gold

without a doubt, best was CNT002 Body Electric in fantastic shape for $5 from a NYC street vendor... less than 2 years ago.

Do you mean BBC 6 in 2003? Can't remember any interviews given in 2005 or 2004.

Absolutely damn right.
'I want a refund!'
'I think you'll find we're very good value for money.'
