The whole thing was supposed to be for charity.
I wonder how much of this asking price will see its way back to that cause?

The band are naturally peeved this happened & RS is doing 7 more with hand written lyrics.
The band's going to put them on ebay for the teenage cancer trust.

Someone got mighty lucky with that pick..

yes, it is for charity.. you pay £40 or more for a random 7" single that you don't have a clue who designed the cover for or what it is.. (as far as I mind...)


Personally, if I'd got that one I'd have had it on ebay in minutes...

Problem is, that record regardless of whoever buys it, is bound to end up on the market at some point in time.. (and probably for an expotential price compared to its current value)

Does that mean whoever attempts to sell it in 20 years is going to face the same criticism?

It does seem quite a nonsense in my view..

/capitalist mode off....
