    smiths collectables (Score:1)
    as an avid collector i find it quite suprising to find smiths in the top 40 collectables of all time.
    the group had a short lived career and morrissey had such a hold on what was recorded / released that the only things of value / esque would be the odd promo and the 2 or 3 instances where the sleeve was changed last minute, ie) hand in glove miss-print and the unofficial terence stamp cover.
    i've got numerous coloured vinyls, imports, numbered c.d.singles by the smiths, but none seem to be that valuable, surely the most collectable artists items such as Bowie and Hendrix dont compare with the stuff i've collected, they must be worth a mint, even just the fact that most of it must be 30yrs old.
    still as discussed before these polls of 100 best of are diminishing in worthiness all the time.
    i wonder wot morrissey thinks of it all.

    i've got a tour programme from the u.k. meat is murder 1985 - I wonder , whats its value?
