Re: FYI

At that price, you won't just be keeping vinyl alive, but keeping the seller alive. ;) Not to say it won't be worth it to someone, it's rare.

Re: FYI



I believe that the seller and the OP are one and the same, are they not? A bit of shameless self-promotion.

It's not rare, the Spectrum/Lab split at only 25 copies is rare, there are 200 swamp coloured copies of Stunning Debut in the world and I notice that someone has met the starting price, I'm going to be laughing my socks off all night.

Re: FYI

I think it's ok to post ebay items on here if they're Stereolab related. Just my opinion. Sometimes it ends up being a topic of discussion (like it is now).

Re: FYI



I wouldn't have a problem if you, or anyone else unrelated to its sale, had posted the link. Correct me if I'm wrong but I had the impression that the OP was the seller - p'raps Martin ought to send an invoice for advertising rates.

Re: FYI



Wow! Since when did informing people that might be interested that you have something for sale become taboo? Is it the fact that it is an auction and not a sale? I have sold many things in my life, and every time I sold something, I let people (that might be interested) know that it was for sale. I guess I am a very bad man. The only thing I can think Revox might have a problem with is that placing it on Ebay is already advertising it and posting here is ... ______________. No, I can't think of what it might be. Oh well, I think I have built enough karma points on here with the projects I have worked on and given away to still go to heaven. ;)

As far as its rarity, the fact that the Spectrum / Stereolab split is more rare hardly cuts into the fact that this item has largely been unavailable for the 15 years I have been collecting. And if the Spectrum split ever went up on ebay it would certainly fetch 1000 pounds.

Actually, on a different note, I was trying to think of reasons why something like the Pink Crumb Duck 12" (50 copies) comes up for sale many times, while this one (200 copies) is invisible on the market. The only thing I could come up with is that these all (200) went to France and people that bought them played them and eventually discarded them. Any other ideas?

Re: FYI

Is this the record that usually comes warped? Mine certainly is!

Re: FYI

Hey GaryB,

I have read that somewhere as well. I have a copy and now have this extra on and neither are warped.

Huh?...

Re: FYI



I need to check mine again.

Re: FYI

I remember when I first got mine, the warp being a VERY slight warp but now can not see a warp at all.

Let me know what you think.
