Re: THE CURE/VARIOUS (Featured on February 1979 Various Artists '20 Of Another Kind' and includes an unreleased studio version of Killing an Arab. The vocal track & some instrumental parts are different and predates the album version with a production rougher and more basic. The sleeve dates the song from 1978 and states 'Eighteen Age records' instead of 'Fiction' and it is rumoured that this version was incorrectly included by Polydor. The laminated picture sleeve and disc are Near Mint. An obscure rarity for the true completist POLS1006)

The only genuine recordings of the one and only Jerusalem Rock Band
[reply to this topic]
Re: JERUSALEM Jerusalem (2009 issue UK 14-track digitally remastered CD album - Originally released in 1972 and produced by Deep Purple's legendary frontman, Ian Gillan, this infamous metallic heavy rock album is a menacing combination of over-the-top vocals and screaming lead guitars that could easily pass for something from the early 80s New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene; and now comes expanded with 5 Bonus Recordings including pre-album demos, alternate mixes and a non-lp single track. Complete with a 20-page picture booklet containing sleevenotes written by bassist Paul Dean, lyrics, press clippings and rare photos!)

Escalator is not Jerusalem
Hi Guys,

Just to inform you that the album 'Escalator' has absolutely nothing to do with the original British Jerusalem Rock Band. Escalator is an album by Lynden Williams (ex-Jerusalem) and friends, which he and Mausoleum have called Jerusalem in the hope of making something on the back of the recent successful official re-issue (Rockadrome Records) of the only genuine Jerusalem album ever made in 1972. The biography on Mausoleum's website is also a total charade, which I am led to believe was written by Lynden. It is extremely unfortunate and sad that Lynden and Mausoleum have sunk to such a level of opportunism and I am sure most Jerusalem followers will not accept such an obvious scam. By the way, Bob Cooke (ex-Jerusalem) who is also on the album, did not want it to go out under the name Jerusalem either - quote "it is a different band let's face it". I sincerely hope that you will make it very clear to potential customers that this is not the original Jerusalem Band and sounds nothing like them. Jerusalem has never reformed nor could it ever reform without the 2 founding members, Ray Sparrow & myself, plus of course the late Bill Hinde.

All the best,

Cheers

Paul Dean

Outstanding service
This item is not only described exactly as it really is, it was also shipped promptly and received in an immaculate condition. Just as if it was mint.

As for the service, I have been buying through the internet for many years now and I have to say that in all these years I have not received a service as good as the one provided by EIL. The item was properly described but I had a few questions. The salesperson I spoke with, Darren Trout, provided all the information I needed and was quick to answer, kind and gentle. Honestly, you cannot ask for more. 10 out of 10.

Re: WAGNER Der Ring Des Nibelungen (Incredible 1963 UK TWENTY TWO LP boxed set of the complete edition of Richard Wagner's four part opera, Der Ring des Nibelungen, also known as The Ring Cycle featuring the four operas Das Rheingold,Die Walkure, Siegfried and Gotterdammerung. There is also a unique three record introduction to The Ring set narrated by Deryck Cooke featuring excerpts from the four operas. Each opera is in its own separate wooden ended partition with full size libretto booklets containing synopsis & full transcription for the operas. The performance is the classic version by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Georg Solti. The whole ensemble is enclosed in a very weighty carved wooden box with gilded front panel. The box and wooden/leather spines do show some moderate wear & parts of the outer box lettering have broken away over the past forty five years but the librettos are complete, clean & undamaged & all vinyl is immaculate with the exceptional audio clarity that only these specialist pressings on sixties heavyweight vinyl can give. Please bear in mind that this monster weighs in at over 11kg & measures 13" x 13" x 7", so please contact us to confirm postage costs!)

Collectors Edition: The Essential Dylan
I just received a boxed set of Bob Dylan DVDs with a booklet that went with it in a very nice green sturdy box. Everything about the set was well put together except for one essential item. The DVDs are in random order and there is no information where they come from or when the performances were done. It is a good thing that I have seen just about all of them already and have many on old VHS tapes. I recognized the performances when they were played. This is a fine addition to a collection if , like me, you have the older tapes and want something more durable. But for a new fan who does not know when or where the performances happened this boxed set would be very confusing. Just the changes in Bob's clothes, hats, and voice would confound a new fan. The accompanying booklet is also somewhat confusing, with most of the material relating to the Rolling Thunder Revue. The rest of the booklet, written by a different author, consists of track by track comments about the Dylan albums from the first "Dylan," up to "John Wesley Harding" and then it stops. Not sorry to have purchased the item, but it is not for fans who don't know a grest deal about Bob Dylan. Defintely not as an introduction to the legend.

Question to EIL:
As you probably know, when The Strokes were poised to release their debut album, the tragedy of September 11th hit, and the release was pushed back so they could remove the song "New York City Cops." I worked at a record store at the time, and we already had the cd in the back stickerd and ready to go when 9/11 happened, and we had to send them back to RCA. I think the release date was originally going to be september 18th. Anyway, after some smooth talking I convinced the manager to let me buy one copy of the cd before we sent them back. I have never seen a copy of this cd anywhere else. It has never been opened. Have you ever come across one? Is this worth anything?

I have this item: it was given to me by my father. He was ready to toss it, but I would not let him. It is in relatively excellent condition, the hanging instruction label and the stamp from the manufacturer are in perfect condition no rips, tears, watermarks, etc. The frame has a small amount of corrosion on it. However the mirror and image on it are clean and clear. Do you have any idea of the value?
