Your latest Morrissey/Smiths buy

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 ;)
 
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. :D


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.)
 
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.

Thanks, Stoned! I'd only read about it on PJLM before - never actually seen one until I bought this one. All the longboxes are lovely in my opinion, though. :)

Double Dose - Aussie 2xCD (compared to Japanese Super Twins 2xCD, thank you Aly!)

That Australian Suedehead looks lovely! You know my affection for those Aussie EMI sleeves... ;)

I didn't realise there was a difference in the tint of the Double Dose and Super Twins CD covers, either. Good to know!


A couple of new bits:

and a full set of "A chance to shine" fanzines, to fill a few gaps in my existing collection, and then some.
