ask him if he has the debut! triple lp they put out themselves. that's one of the only things i still need.

i dunno, start earlier rather than later. the boxed set is just kinda over the top and crazy. especially the booklet that comes with it that lists every practice session they ever played.

Oh that K tape collection has been around for AGES. Must be piling up the listing fees by now surely?

£500 seems cheap. wasn't there something similar that went for thousands? (had been framed and presented to staff member or something?)

Gina G acetate?

It's £500 at the moment, but
1) there's a while to go yet
2) um, even now it would be easy to make one of these...

Mark G, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link

saw this the other day which seems to be something similar but w/ some old Motorhead bootleg

puppetry of the pulis (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:11 (twelve years ago) link

On April 15th this Sex Pistols acetate went for a whopping $ 23.887.06.

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:18 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, and that's just the Virgin Records edition.

Mark G, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link

even now it would be easy to make one of these...

haha yeah that's exactly what I thought when I saw the pic. looks kind of not from the right time or place tbh

ban this sick stunt (anagram), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link

It went for £2275 in the end.

has anyone heard these Milton Wright lps? i heard 'spaced' today because i was curious why it was 1500$ and it was so boring. i have so many dollar soul records that are better than this.

jaxon, Friday, 16 September 2011 05:40 (twelve years ago) link

Was his records played by the later northern soul dj's? The guys who now write a lot of the liner notes for the kent soul comps? I like a little modern soul, but most of it sounds like bad philly knock-offs.

JacobSanders, Friday, 16 September 2011 05:52 (twelve years ago) link

i guess one of his songs ended up on one of those strange games and funky things comps. and had that whole 'burned up in a factory fire, only a few survived' stories.

oh, i've heard this one (from the album before 'spaced')

Not sure about the £4.00 standard delivery charge here. For this kind of outlay I'd want it delivered to my door by a fucking unicorn.

Heh. Well, since a year or two eBay has made it difficult for a seller to put in more as standard delivery. That's why you mostly see the lowest shipping charges in the automated listing, but people in their description adding "soz shipping is way higher but ebay won't allow me to enter it lol".

i put "please contact me for shipping costs" pretty clearly in an auction for a book recently (i don't know generally how much books cost to send like i do for records). but the guy who won paypall-ed me immediately after winning the cost of the book and what ebay allowed me to put for shipping. it was a few bucks under for shipping. i told him this and he was like "can you just let it slide, bro" and i was kinda in a good mood and let it slide, but apparently i'm still bitter about it because i wasted 2 minutes to write about it on an internet forum.

jaxon, Friday, 30 September 2011 00:55 (twelve years ago) link

aw :-)

This happens to me regularly and I can tell you, the "I'll let it slide bro"-feeling goes away pretty fast. It all adds up, too. So it makes for extra hassle getting back in touch to cough up the actual shipping costs. Most do pay up though.

"Please Note ** Sorry But I Will NOT Ship To Italy**"

!?!?!

mark e, Friday, 30 September 2011 09:58 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, Italy has a bad rep for people going "hey where's my item?" and reclaiming off paypal/ebay.

This could be the buyer pulling a fast one, or the Ital postal service being bad/insecure, who knows.

Mark G, Friday, 30 September 2011 10:06 (twelve years ago) link

Having said that, I've posted stuff all around the world, and only had one occurance of items not arriving.

Posted the same day to two different countries, you do the detective work....

Mark G, Friday, 30 September 2011 10:07 (twelve years ago) link

Ital postal service being bad/insecure

this is the received wisdom

whiney g. aimhouse (electricsound), Friday, 30 September 2011 10:26 (twelve years ago) link

yeah it has a notoriously dire postal service in general

I don't think I've ever lost anything there but I only really sell cheap CDs so maybe either ppl can't be arsed to quibble over a few euros or they don't look interesting enough to get opened by il postino

the green manalishi (with the big boobies) (DJ Mencap), Friday, 30 September 2011 10:38 (twelve years ago) link

Well, I mostly send LP sized packages, handwritten addresses...

Mark G, Friday, 30 September 2011 10:52 (twelve years ago) link

3. Please stop sending me Email telling me what it worth, you never seen the record in person.

Thank You all for interest in this record, it will remain at the same price until sold.

What is this Alexander's store label she is focusing on? Is that really something notable?

Evan, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 05:55 (twelve years ago) link

i think it's just the price tag

hilare appendage (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 05:57 (twelve years ago) link

That's all though? Just making sure there isn't some kind of rock history at "Alexander's" that collectors would get excited over.

What a dolt, I mean:

Evan, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 06:07 (twelve years ago) link

I might have had one of those myself.

From http://www.eskimo.com/~bpentium/beatles/intro/intro.html

Covers for the stereo issue that list Love Me Do and P. S. I Love You, among the two columns of tracks on the back, are almost always fakes. Only a couple of authentic copies of these versions are known to exist.

Mark G, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 10:25 (twelve years ago) link

Also, here is a very similar one (same shop pricetag) to prove it is definitely a fake.

Sylv_ebanks (DJ Mencap), Monday, 5 March 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago) link

you know, i don't really care too much about melvins or nirvana, but that's kinda rad. its the kind of thing you'd think the rock & roll hall of fame (something else i don't really care about) would spring for.

scott seward, Monday, 5 March 2012 23:58 (twelve years ago) link

don't look at the carpet, I drew something awful on it...

just for interest: It's got 7 days to go, it's already £500

Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 15:17 (twelve years ago) link

Oh shit thats Joel! I just saw him yesterday at my store. He's a nice guy, always good at making room in our vinyl section by buying a good chunk of it. Comes in all the time. Though I just put in my two weeks notice so he's another regular I won't get to see as often, yet I foresee myself spending lots of time there as a customer again.
