Your latest Morrissey/Smiths buy

[Unlikely One]

I used to live in Saudi and visit Bahrain regularly. The tape shops there were much cheaper than Saudi. Those Thomson Originals were buy 10 get one free for about a tenner in total - we are talking 1992/3 time. Just being able to purchase so many meant I was able to check out loads of music. I had quite arange of Morrissey and Smiths comps which were all very good quality for the time but passed them on many moons ago now. If anyone has seen anything with 711 on it from Saudi I'd love to see a pic just for old times sake.

I took time off from collecting but thinking about getting back into it, particularly vinyl. Some of the items you guys post are just so nice....I'm starting to feel I want them too.

I’m back with my purchases in March.
After 15 month of heavy purchasing I expect to take it slow the next couple of month. My summer holiday to London has been booked and I need to save some money.

I know there was a "wearing your Morrissey shirt" sort of thread at one point, but I couldn't find it.
Here's a shot of my band and Moz shirt.

And a few cassettes

Meat is Murder - Canada
TWWL - Indonesia
Rank - France (you can just tell from the photo that the text colours are reversed for this release...)

Thank you Dave.
Every one of these items has alternate artwork though (in the case of YATQ, it's that signature that makes it alternate ).

 

[mr.m]

Hey, do you have a signed copy of "I Have Forgiven Jesus" on ebay at the moment? I seem to remember you posting a pic that looked identical to one that's on there now.

Cheers.

Thank you Dave.
