That people are actually willing to pay such an amount of money for this stuff defies belief.

It can't be that hard can it? Take a "rare" collection of songs, make a couple of dodgy covers using Nero cover maker, make a nice CD label, make 10 of the things, hey presto, instant limited edition.
The temptation is there isn't it?

I'm a designer to trade and a Sisters nut since the 80s, I have access to state of the art digital printing. I make my own covers for weeds, I just like to, the option is loads of CD-Rs lying about with no name, tracklist or jewel case. No way would I try and sell them on. It goes against the ethos of this board (unless I am mistaken QB) if you've got it brothers and Sisters, share it!
OK that's another of my rants outta the way

Blast
PS I need to 'lighten up' don't I?

Well all I can say on the matter is that when I recieved my copy of Furth from Redsunsets I was happily suprised by the cover and greatly apreciated the effort and thoughtfulness of it
I only wish I had the technology and knowhow to do the same meself

already got those - the only things i'm looking for now are a "grooving in green" 7" (really want) and a "turn to the sky" 7" (will get if i see it cheap enough - i have the 12 so that will do for now)
i've got the rest of their stuff on 7" & 12"

THE SISTERS OF MERCY rare stickered black cd, numbered limited fan club edition of 25 only
And when he's sold all 25 I'm sure he'll "discover" a "rare" 2nd edition of another 25.

The words 'horse', 'falling' and 'off' spring to mind.
