Simon Lucas:

I've a numbered copy of The Beatles, with photos and poster

£17.49 for this..................

.....and worth it as I had been looking for about a year.

Recently spent £60 on In Rainbows box set. Worst of it is I don't even have a turntable, just a radiohead freak! I'm thinking about buying one just to hear it lol  

almost did that with REMs new live album, but thought i woudlnt bother due to lack of a turntable.

paid about 25£ for one song once. silly, silly, silly.

Angel Dust? -Personaly I think it's a 50/50 album some of the tracks are amongst FHMs best but some tracks like Crack Hitler and Jizzlobber are pants. I could never get over Mike Patton saying he eats his own poo. I do remember Kerrang! saying it was the most influencial album on the new metal scene.

 Crack Hitler is definitely the worst song on the album, but IMO they've never surpassed songs like 'Caffeine', 'Smaller & Smaller' and my all time fave FNM song, 'Malpractice'.

Never got on with the earlier stuff myself (including 'The Real Thing'). I've heard they're reforming. Let's see how that turns out.

How?

Cheque, i think.

Ahem. Sorry.

Think it was one of those industry promo singles. It was half my life ago, and i think i naively assumed it had more songs on it. It didnt. That made me comprehensively re-evaluate my collector/obsessive tendencies. I no longer buy stuff just for the sake of it, and i spend as little as i can most the time.

I have the Unearthed Johnny Cash boxset too, but got it much cheaper than it should have been, and it is a 5 disk set aferall, so i dont think it counts really. and i cant remember what it cost.

Not sure how many were made but I`m thinking unplayed in mint condition that set could be worth a lot more than £60 before too long.

Hopfully lol

Saw it on ebay, absolute mint, had ti have it. All i've used it for is to burn the bonus CD into my itunes.

"Cosmic Experience" by Electric Universe and "Aenima" ltd. edition by Tool. Both around 45 £ . I would be hesitating to pay more though unless I'm a bank executive maybe ( a one with no greed while the banks get it hard of course ).

I paid £40 for an ultra rare A&M digital surround sound promo sampler many years ago featuring Sting, Bryan Adams, etc.
The first CD player that Philips released came with two Philips sampler CDs in case you bought the player and couldn't find any shops that sold CDs in the early days, so I guess thay must be worth quite a bit by now . . . . although I'd never part with them. 

Slightly off topic, l still have the most expensive film set I have purchased so far, the NTSC laserdisc version of the "Star Wars Trilogy Definitive Collection Box Set" that included a book and poster.
Got that from New York the day it came out for a little over two hundred and forty pounds (ouch!).

Still beats the pants of the DVD edition even today 

I've bought quite a few MOFI and DCC recordings of artists like Blondie, Nirvana & Guns n' Roses around the £30 mark. But re-buying some of the SACD's and DVD-A's that I sold a few years ago has proved expensive. The Best of Roxy Music SACD and Rumours by Fleetwodd Mac DVD-A costing around £50 each, the latter being worth every penny, sounds superb. Gold Dust Woman in lossless 5.1 is worth £50 on it's own!

If anyone likes Tina Turner, this is one that's worth adding to your collection if you can get hold of it.

I paid about £20 for this XRCD (plays on any CD player), but it's one of the best sounding discs I've got, crisp and detailed.
