That is fantastic is the vinyl the same?

There is no vinyl counterpart, unfortunately.

[ThievesLikeUs]

Just scored a backup of both the "Nice bit of meat" LPs at my local.Gonna give my other copy of Vol 1 to my older Sis as she is a huge Marilyn Monroe fan, and was also a very cool older sister when it came to music

[Aly]

All three Japanese editions of 'The Sound of The Smiths' - standard edition, standard edition reissue, and 2-CD deluxe edition.

A truly beautiful Set Aly , well done AGAIN Aly.
Cheers Moz

Thanks, Stoned! I trust you got my PM about where to buy them? In case anybody else is interested though, they're from yesasia.com. Reasonable prices as far as I'm concerned, too.

Got the German SGABTO 7" promo in good condition for 20 Euros. Did I overpay?

I don't know what it's actually worth, to be honest - but if I were buying, I'd consider €20 a good price, especially since it's the promo version.

YATQ - UK promo interview cd - a thing of beauty!

Congratulations on that YATQ interview CD, I.R! A thing of beauty indeed!

And of course, I love that Saudi Arabian cassette too.


Feels like Christmas (Smithsmas? Christmoz?) has come early, many thanks to Tom...






(You can't make out the text in the photo, but the pink cassette is one of the US promo tapes for Your Arsenal.)

Beautiful items, Aly!

[Tom]

You're very welcome Aly! Glad they arrived in such a timely fashion (and in great condition). I'm happy they went to a good collector like yourself.

Alright, thanks for the reply
