i'd never seen this flexi before. sometimes it pays to dig through the old, dusty bin of crappy 7"s to find what people have hidden.

+ anyone got some info on this?

This flexi came free with a copy of 'The Catalogue' which was £1.50 in September 1988. The magazine is and I quote 'for the independent music trade'. I guess its value (if it has any) is in it being complete with the magazine. I have it loose but also another copy with the mag where it is stapled into the spine. I love it, especially the poem.

Thanks for shedding some light.

Again, this is the proof that local 2nd hand cd/vinyl shops are simply the best places to get stuff : good prices and you can actually check what you are getting.

How on earth do you go about sourcing a Croatian LP from Sweden

Keep taking the pills Mikael, and sharing your photos

Hi Mikael, you always have nice stuff...can I ask where did you find these plastic sleeves for the LPs...they look different with the 'serrated' (spelling?) sides?

Thanks in advance...

These particular PVC sleeves I bought from a guy that always attend the two international fairs here in Stockholm every year. Normally I buy PVC sleeves from a gentleman who sells all kinds of sleeves and cases out of his appartment here in Stockholm. He is quite pricey though and if I lived in the UK no doubt I would get my covers from covers33, I'll try and contact them in the near future to see how much postage would be for a couple of hundred PVC sleeves to be delivered to Sweden. I've never bought their PVC sleeves so I don't know about quality but their prices are unbeatable.

Hello my name is Greg and i'm addicted to collecting The Smiths and Morrissey records. Even though I have these records, of the same pressing, I can't stop myself from buying them when i see them in the bin at the record store.

i only have 2 on vinyl.

Just got the Have-A-Go Merchant promo cd. Doesn't it look good next to these other promo cds from the early to mid-90's?
The Complete Picture Japanese laser disc also arrived today in mint condition. Nice!

Is that stored next to a Rank DAT cassette on your shelf of 'stuff I can't play'?
Still, looks nice

Yes, it is Dave.
Stored along with the Rank DAT and various other laser discs...
I don't play my vinyl or cassettes nowadays either and hardly ever play cds.
I mostly listen to music through my ipod. Quality of course isn't the same, but convenience and portability make the ipod my preferred source.

Cheers,

I.R.

I got this and I have some more beauties on the way. It has been a busy, buying month for me. This is the first of three or four more goodies to come in the mail.
