[everydayslikesunday]

Years Of Refusal - Japanese CD
The More You Ignore Me... - Mispressed '45 rpm' Dutch CD (compared to std UK release)
Piccadilly Palare - Aussie cassette single (in lovely original yellow case matching the colour of the cassette)

Hi I.R

I love the Aussie cassette single, it really very yellow :D

[Irregular Regular]

Hi I.R

Yellow? Orange?
I couldn't decide, perhaps I am colour blind... :)

Piccadilly Palare - Aussie cassette single (in lovely original yellow case matching the colour of the cassette)

This is not orange. Certainly it's yellow.

[Stoned]

Nothing special , 3 original Moz 7" vinyls.

[Raphael Lambach]

I found some 2008 re-issue Smiths' 7'' singles for $170. I think it's really expansive, a steal and not bought.

[mikael]

Australian cassette singles are rarer than CD-Rs, please don't buy them!

[mikael]

Because I want them, I would like a life line, please.

[Irregular Regular]

Because I want them, I would like a life line, please.

Funny man! :)
I only have 2 of them and I am not planning to buy anymore stuff for a while...so you can sleep easy.;)

Joking aside, I only bought Interesting Drug and Palare recently.
Paid less than £10 for each one if I remember correctly, are they really that rare?

Cheers,

I.R.

Wow, is that an import? never knew they had a cover like that?

[Dave2006]

Wow, is that an import? never knew they had a cover like that?

I was thinking that as well. But it has the BBFC "PG" classification on it, so I assume its British.

IR - can you elaborate?

Hi Dave,

There are 2 different UK releases of this DVD.
The one in the standard case is the original 1992 release, the one in the jewel case is a re-release. I don't know when exactly it was re-released but I believe it was only available in that packaging for a relatively short time.

Is it really that rare? I don't think so...paid £7 inc postage for it.

Cheers,

Never seen a package like this before. Where and how did you get it?

[vivabob]

its the rough trade version , its just the way the picture was taken that makes it look whiter ... also looks like the case its broken at the hindge

Doesn't this CD usually go for much more?

[Flax]

Doesn't this CD usually go for much more?

Yeah, it's the Rough Trade version. The Rhino edition doesn't come in a slim jewel case.

$23 is a great deal. I think the cheapest I've seen was $25, but from what I've seen, it usually goes for $35.

If you are talking about the Complete Picture DVD, then I think this is the one the IR bought for £7 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SMITHS-COMPLETE-PICTURE-DVD-VERY-RARE-/280595533200?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_DVDs_DVDs_GL&hash=item4154cc0d90

I know that many collectors want mint copies of everything, but see the description:

DVD OF THE SMITHS, ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE AND ENTERTAINING BANDS IN HISTORY.
THE SMITHS ARE COMING BACK SO GET THIS DVD NOW BEFORE.
YOU CAN USE THIS DVD TO STUDY HOW THE MAGNIFICENT JOHNNY MARR WORKS HIS MAGIC ON THE GUITAR. THAT GUY IS A PHENOMENON.
WELL PLAYED AND WITH A FEW SURFACE MARKS, THIS DVD PLAYS FINE AND WILL PROVIDE HOURS OF ENJOYMENT TO ITS NEW OWNER.
SEE THE SMITHS VIDEOS FROM ALL THEIR GREATEST HITS

I love the fact that the seller has played the DVD and played it lots of times. He's obviously still a huge fan of the band.

Whilst we all love finding 20 year old mint records - it saddens me when they are described as 'unplayed' as if that is a badge of honour. Like someone who owns loads of books but never reads them.

Dave,

I believe Vivabob and Roky were discussing the Rough Trade Barbarism CD...the Complete Picture DVD was only released by WEA in the UK.

The disc itself has a few scratches on it (although they do not affect play), however I didn't buy for the disc as I already own several copies of these videos.

I bought it purely for the jewel case and slightly alternate artwork, both in great condition!

Cheers,

I.R.

Ooops :o. Whatever they were talking about, my rant about buying mint stuff as opposed to well used still stands... I think....

I'm with you on buying a DVD just because it came in different packaging - I guess I'm not the only one now looking for one.

This is not my latest buy, however I was looking through a box of old magazine cuttings, etc and found this Brazilian publication by Somtres.

It dates back to 1985, following the release of Meat Is Murder, and it contains a Smiths biography/discography written in Portuguese which folds out as a huge poster.

It really brought back some great memories as this poster used to grace my bedroom wall when I was a teenager... (many, many moons ago!)

Just wondering whether anybody else has ever seen it or own a copy.
Perhaps one of our Brazilian friends... Flax? Raphael?

I was walking around the streets and just bought this Viva Hate EMI100 Brazilian issue.

According to Passions, my copy is just a reissue from the original release, because it has no booklet.

The cd was slipped into a cardboard box with a thick EMI booklet. In January 1998 (and later in 2002), the album was reissued again, this time without the box and booklet, but with same catalogue number.

Might, might not...I have #30 of 100(colored vinyl). Have no idea what color it is, but I don't *think* I'm going to open it.


Good news though, myself and one other person have the lowest #'s in the place I got them from.

Even better news: I am willing to trade MY copy, so send me some offers if you want?(not looking for easily obtainable Smiths/Morrissey stuff, hard to find/OOP/rare stuff gets this). That way, I dont get offers for US pressings, I dont need/want.

This is a bootleg. It's not worth more sealed than opened. I actually think it'll never be worth more than what you paid for it now. Its interest lies in the content, not the packaging. Once the content leaks, the value drops (see Revelation, etc).

[NIPPON]

Judging by the tracklisting it looks like a collection of some of the tracks from the Peel Sessions.

I could be wrong though :confused:

and it they are, they should have certainly made it into a double LP with all 22 tracks from sessions. perhaps the "demos" spoiled me.

And Revelation was officially released...

Of course it wasn't (Stephane wasn't saying that), and nor is it valuable. Stephane is saying that Biggoof009 might as well open and play the record and find out what's on it, as keeping it in its wrapping won't do much to its long term value.

Dave

Yeah, kinda figured I'd have to eventually open it. Let me rephrase that, Not looking for US copies of stuff for it, should anyone be interested in a trade. But, something nice, maybe rare or OOP or something, would definitely interest me. Im not trying to get a kings ransom for it, but im also not going to give it away. I paid in the $40 range for it, not too much to ask for something worth at least that in return? Some completist here, would be interested in it Im sure, esp. w/it being colored vinyl, and numbered to 100?

I guess it's "worth", is what someone's willing to pay for it, hence the "TP". Personally, I dont see how/why it shouldve sold for that. Good for the seller i guess.

I will open it, but i dont have a record player @ the moment, so i cant play it. Ill let you all know what color it is.

[Irregular Regular]

Beautifully packaged, really nice item!
Choice of artwork + quality of materials used make this LP comparable to any official release.

not numbered. But of the three that were in the shop all had silk screened covers. Which Is the only thing that is making me think that there are actually only 500 copies.

I'm no expert on The Peel Sessions. Does anyone who has this know if there are any gems on here?

Personally, I think they're all much of a muchness...except...the version of London, the Peel Session version, is far superior to the recorded version - it squeals with attitude.

Yeah, those things are hard to get man, regardless of what's said here about them. I spoke to the guy where I bought it, and he said they won't be getting anymore in, and that they were sent 4 copies of the numbered/colored vinyl, and like 5 copies of the regular vinyl, and some other places, didnt get any. Still pretty cool item to have IMO.

I love people who collect bootlegs, Check out the worth of some Dylan boots, the material is ready for download, prices of the records: 100$s of dollars.

I don't see any importance in bootlegs unless when they contain a marvelous stuff like "unreleased and demo..." which leaked recently.

[mikael]

So you basically don't get collecting if there aren't anything different in content. Which is fine.

[Biggoof009]

BTW gang, the color of the vinyl on that "Old Guard-BBC Tapes" record I bought? is purple marbled vinyl...super clean, and heavy duty vinyl, looks to be 180 gram.

Meat is murder [CD France] - Virgin 30258 for 50 bucks.
I don't know why but one I have is different from that one we can see on Vulgar Picture. Mine is Virgin 30258 while Flax's (http://www.vulgarpicture.com/images/smiths/hi/1985/hi_1985_meatcd_fr_2.jpg) is WEA 4509-91895-2. Is his copy or mine a reissue?

What you have is an original French pressing on Rough Trade / Virgin. The one from Vulgar Picture is not French, it's the WEA pan-European edition. The French number you see on the back is a price code (you know, like you have on the back of books). All information at the collectors appendix for Meat Is Murder at "Passions Just Like Mine".

There are a few items at Vulgar Picture that are mis-identified and this is one of them. I told Flax some time ago, but I think he hasn't made the corrections yet because he is too busy with his new site "Illness As Art".

I checked it out at Passions and I was curious to understand what's that on Vulgar Picture. After writing here the number I noticed it was a price code and not catalog number.

Thank you, Stephane.

Hi Raphael,

Stephane has beaten me to it, I was just writing to say the same thing.

That's a good find, I'd like to have one of them :thumb:

Hi Uncleskinny, can I ask how much you paid for that book, when I was looking to buy one some years ago now, they were usually advertise for about £100 which is far more than I'm willing to pay.

I found it by chance. I went into a used books and records shop where I often buy and I saw this lovely item. There I bought a Bowie's Black tie white noise.
And I've just bought them.

This is what I bought yesterday. It's a hardback inside a hard slip-case. It was sealed when I bought it, then I slit open the plastic to slip out the book, to see if there was indeed a signed photograph inside. There wasn't. Also, as you can see, it is not numbered either. The back of the slipcase, on top of the plastic seal, has a small piece of sellotape on it, otherwise, it's unscathed. The book is about the size (thickness) of those kid's annuals you get. Does anyone else have one like this?

According to an ebay seller who sold a few copies of this book during December:

"THIS IS A VERY RARE 'DELETED' EDITION. THIS VERSION DID NOT MEET KEVIN CUMMINS' HIGH PRODUCTION STANDARD AND WAS REJECTED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PULPED. A NEW EDITION WAS RELEASED BUT A FEW OF THESE, THE TRUE FIRST, FOUND THEIR WAY ONTO THE MARKET. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SIGNED PRINTS WERE NEVER ADDED TO THESE."

He was selling them for £15 each, shame I didn't spot the listing in time...

Hi Stoned, was that the one that was on ebay as a 'buy it now' for £45. I was half tempted to buy it myself as that is a good price for it, but the wife would kill me, I tell her I could buy it to trade with but she knows I tend to hang on to them ;)

Hi Irregular Regular, I wish I had seen then for £15, I can't work out how I missed it, but then I guess I had other things on my mind at the time. :(

Is your copy like mine - I posted it almost a week ago?

[everydayslikesunday]

Hi Raphael,

No, your's is a French release for the French market on the Virgin label. Mine was manufactured in France but for the UK market on the Rough Trade label. This was because at the time of release, the UK didn't have the capability to produce enough cds. I'm expecting a copy in the post that was manufactured in Japan for the UK market for exactly the same reason.

This arrived in the post and unfortunately it appears to be missing part of the disc 2 inlay. Certainly when I compare it to the one on Flax's excellent web page. It looks like some one has removed the bottom half of the inlay for whatever reason. I am not amused, but as it only cost me £37 and appears to be a genuine copy, watermarked, two extra tracks, numbered (#37) and named recipient etc, I shall probably keep it and look to replace it with a better copy. Unless some one else's copy is also like mine?

Abrahan, no worries my friend, im glad you like it. You're my boy......enjoy it.

Would anyone be interested in trading for a copy, should I find one(Brando lp)?

I'm happy with the copy I got. I was just giving Abrahan a hard time.
I'd be interested in a Brando cover if I don't find one for myself soon.

Hi IR,
Is your German "Alma" the 2 track one? I have been looking for one of those for at least a year. Where did you get yours? If it was Ebay, did you got to Ebay.com, Ebay.co.uk and search worldwide or did you go to German Ebay?
I am glad we got the "Ignore Me" mis press cleared. Mine is like yours.
You got some great items.
Take care

Hi Roky,

Yes, it is the 2 track German Alma Matters in card sleeve.
I had also been looking for this one for a year or two and had never seen one for sale before.
I found it on ebay.co.uk, from a seller in Finland. I'm pretty sure he is a serious collector and possibly also a frequent Solo visitor.
I made him an offer of £28 inc postage to the UK, which he thankfully accepted.
Really pleased with this item, I firmly believe this cd should be in the top 50 Moz collectibles, possibly amongst the top 20 even.
Thank you for the nice comments by the way mate, you are not short of the odd wonderful item yourself though. ;)

Hi Everyday,

The 'buy it now' price was reduced from £40 to £35.
I had an offer of £25 turned down when it was still listed at £40, then when the 'buy it now' price was reduced to £35 I offered £28 and the offer was accepted. A really good buy in my opinion. :D

I've already spent too much money since Christmas so it's probably a good thing that I didn't make the seller an offer (I had briefly thought about offering them £30, but had my eye on other items)

[modrevolve]

Bleeker Street Records is the closest I've ever seen to a decent collection of Smiths 12 Inch singles. They were all quite pricey around $50 a pop.

I once asked a girl at Generation Records if they had any Smiths vinyl and she said..no, why would anyone want to give that stuff up..

Hi Stoned, that's more annoying then my disappointing parcel, at least I can sell mine on (obviously at a reduced price) after I find another copy. Your Jack the Ripper became worthless. I hope you got your money back?

I'm having a bit of bad luck with the postal service to and from the States at the mo. I've also sent out two parcel to the States, one was sent over 2 weeks ago and the another 10 days ago and neither have turned up yet and normally it takes about 6 -7 days for parcels to arrive.

I have a set of three that look exactly like that. Nice :thumb:

From Passions:

Finally the other promo (scan needed) was produced in very limited numbers. It features the four songs appearing on the different formats listed above, and is numbered ATKPX008X. The cd has a white label with text, and the insert shows a closeup of the wooden wall behind Morrissey, with credits and a small image of the artwork from the "You Are The Quarry" album.

From this, it sounds like it looks like the front of the fourth promo looks like the back of the first promo http://www.vulgarpicture.com/images/morrissey/hi/2004/hi_2004_letmekissyoucd_promo_2.jpg or the back of the actual CD http://www.vulgarpicture.com/images/morrissey/hi/2004/hi_2004_letmekissyoucd1_2.jpg

But Mikael posted last year (http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showpost.php?p=1318358&postcount=6) that the 4 track has the same artwork as the three track (with the extra track added)

Dave

[roky]

Thanks for the post Dave. That is what I was thinking it looked like.

WEA TOP HITS November 1992 Issue. Japanese Rare Promo-only 16-track CD. Featuring The Boy With The Thorn in His Side.

It says on the track listing that the track is taken from WMC5-541 which is the Japanese edition of Best II

Here is what Passions says about Best I (http://www.passionsjustlikemine.com/disc/best1.htm)

Japan:
A various artists promo cd titled "WEA Top Hits" featuring "This Charming Man" was dispatched to radio in order to promote this release as well as recent releases by other artists'.

Presumably this CD belongs in the entry for Best II.

Louder Than Bombs - Aussie double cd

[Dave2006]

Smiths début white label promo with a truly disappointing single sided promo sheet

Maladjusted re-issue promo CD

...and I bought a copy of 'Film and Filming' hoping to find the original photo for "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" but bought the wrong edition - D'oh! - but still, I suspect Moz used to subscribe to this magazine, articles/photos on Delon, Visconti, Taste of Honey and Billie Whitelaw - for a nostalgic Smiths obsessive with some time on their hands it's well worth buying a copy :) I've since ordered the right edition...

I might be jumping to conclusions, but either Morrissey had a subscription to Films and Filming in 1965 or someone at Rough Trade had some old magazines lying around that Morrissey saw and was inspired...

And only £3.99 - it is one of the most exciting Smiths / Morrissey items I've bought in a long time.
