Over 34 years of collecting I have made the mistake of selling some of my records here and there, and maybe even losing a few to ex-girlfriends or in moves. I'd like to get these back if possible, so I thought I'd put up a list here. Yes I am nostalgic.

If anyone has these items and is interested in selling or trading them, or sees them for sale, please contact me.

7" Bootlegs

NRUB (Burn backwards)
Garden of Delight / Dance on Glass (Scatterbrainchild)
A Merciless Release (Scatterbrainchild)
In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall (Scatterbrainchild)
Brimstone and Treacle

12" Bootlegs
Cryptic Flowers (blue cover)
Haloween in Arkham
Live at Brixton Ace (this is my old copy. If the present owner wants to sell it back to me I would be happy.)

Also looking for the Kiss The Blade fanzines and tickets from Leeds 2003, both nights. These are a few of the important (to me) things I've lost over the years.

Thanks for reading and please feel free to email me with tips: trevorristow (at) gmail.com

I'd have thought NRUB would be the oddest ask :)

good point - NRUB has a certain charm, possibly due to the fact the guy that made that record put himself on the front cover! I'm talking about the bootlegger here not Von :-)

Has the bootleg trade moved to another marketplace (besides eBay) since Discogs banned them?

Well this has been a fairly successful search so far. I am grateful to everyone who has reached out to me.

I've found a few items on my wanted list to replace my old (lost or sold) ones, so here's an updated list of things I am still looking for that I have lost over many years:

7" Bootlegs:
Garden of Delight / Dance on Glass (Scatterbrainchild)
A Merciless Release (Scatterbrainchild)

LP Bootlegs:
Cryptic Flowers (blue cover, color splattered clear vinyl)
Live at Brixton Ace (blue/black xerox cover, white color splatter vinyl)

Also looking for ticket stubs from:
New York Ritz Sat 30 March 1991
New York Roseland Fri 24 Sep 1999
Leeds Sat 26 April 2003

I'll throw this out there on a crazy whim. If anyone wants to sell these t-shirts, I have lost them over the years as well:

Shirts (size L):
Subliminal Message
Replicant (grey)
Black October (white)
Original First And Last And Always design with Royal Albert Hall dates instead of the album name:
Image

I still have a decent collection, especially of official vinyl and most of the original press cuttings that I used to make my Romance & Assassination fanzine, so if anyone has specific needs in trade please do ask.
