new merchandise coming soon...
Wink Just to let you know I spent the day walking around a trade fair at the NEC in Birmingham on Tuesday [up at 3.30 in the morning to get there in plenty of time] but have got mountains of new items coming in - Zippo lighters, jigsaws, t-shirts, bags, wallets, canvas prints and a whole bunch more. The majority of the stock will be in during October, so keep your eyes out for some great Christmas pressies.

Posters.....
Every time I get a list of posters sent to me I pour over it enthusiastically, get my order in and sit in anticipation until it arrives at my desk. At that point I realise how much work I've let myself in for, and for the next 2 working days I am consumed by posters. This week has been one of those weeks. The saving grace on all this is that the posters and prints I've been buying this week are not your common-or-garden pop into your high street and pick them up style posters, but limited prints, lithographs and silkscreen images that would brighten any home. Some of the highlights added today include a Green Day print that I am seriously considering giving house room to, a great U2 poster from 2000 that was printed as a Virgin Megastore chain in-store only promotional poster and stunning prints from The Who, Oasis and Bob Dylan. Finally my other favourite from this delivery is a Pink Floyd poster for a series of shows in Moscow in 1989 - not great printing but from pre-Glasnost Russia this has a charm all its own.  Give your wall a treat...

CRIKEY! means gee whiz, wow
Firstly, I'd like to send my best wishes down under to the friends, family and fans of the legendary Steve Irwin. What an inspiration that man was, still is and will continue to be to the millions of animal lovers and wildlife watchers around the world.
He was lucky enough to do something he loved and one could only wish to have such enthusiasm for life and an excitement in work. In the words of the great man...
'I have no fear of losing my life. If I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it'.

Le Retour d'Elvis
For all you Elvis fans here's a selection of items we found on our recent trip to France. First up is the He Touched Me 5-track sampler CD with a sepia-toned picture of Elvis printed on the disc, housed inside a lovely digipak sleeve showing Elvis playing piano. There's also a superb CD issue of Rockin' Presley, first released as an EP in Germany in November 1956, with replica sleeve artwork and repro label disc graphics. In a timely fashion we also have a few copies of the Elvis BMG Strategic Catalogue Marketing 25-track White Christmas CD, with replica sleeve art and a 'Season's Greetings from ELVIS and ALL OF US' back cover message alongside a Santa and snowman image. Earlier this year DeAgostini and Universal Music released in Japan an exclusive Golden Pops Special CD package, only available from news-stands and book stores. In addition to the 10-track CD, there's a bonus glossy booklet with lyrics, all housed inside a 12" x 10" box which is designed to resemble a book. Oh, and did I mention the Excellent condition UK original HMV No.2 vinyl LP...? We have very limited quantities of the CDs, plus a number of other CD titles which are all one-offs - they will all be hitting the site later today so keep an eye on the latest arrivals, or contact our sales team direct if you wish to reserve any item listed here...

A little piece of MAGIC!
We've recently received a shipment of fantastic CD EPs on the French Magic label! All are limited edition, 24-bit remastered, and come in superb card covers replicating the original vinyl EPs! So far, we have titles from THE EASYBEATS, YARDBIRDS, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE and the SMALL FACES! More titles are expected soon, so WATCH THIS SPACE!!

France - there and back again
Just been rediscovering some of the amazing items we bought last week during our mini French road trip. It always seems to take me a few days to remember what we actually bought - if you'd asked me the day after our return I could have barely recalled a single item. Now, however, it's all coming back to me in waves and rushes. In just four days buying we unearthed just under £35k of juicy collectables. Sitting proudly at the top of the vinyl heap is a MINT, yes MINT condition copy of the Pretty Things' 'Midnight To Six Man' original French LP, just one of a number of titles previously held in the RTL Radio library. All the LPs we got from them are PERFECT - some are indeed unplayed - not least a mint copy of Sonny Rollins' 'At Music Inn' MGM 10" LP. Other vinyl highlights include a Jean Michel Jarre/Domique Webb 'Hypnose' 7", The Who 'Substitute' French Polydor single with wrap-around cover, an excellent 'My Generation EP', Mike Vernon's 'Bring It Back Home' Blue Horizon LP, Capt Beefheart's 'Safe As Milk' Super Group 'beach scene' cover and also the super rare French-only RED vinyl pressing, plus two mint condition originals of Pink Floyd's 'A Saucerful..' Columbia LP both with index tags intact, a Warhorse Vertigo LP, and my two particular favourite soundtracks; Fraggle Rock and SOS Fantomes (aka Ghostbusters) !!!


On the Beatles front we found a wonderful condition copy of their '14 Plus Grandes Succes' French-only LP with the unique 'horse' image cover, plus mint examples of the 'No.1' (aka Please Please Me) LP, an original top-opening low-numbered 'White Album', '4 Garcons dans le Vant', an LSO red label issue of 'Rubber Soul', a few copies of the excellent 'Once Upon A Time In Germany' box set and numerous solo Paul McCartney CD singles, most of which have been long deleted.

 

In addition to these vinyl gems we also cherry-picked our way through a huge collection of 15,000 CD singles, selecting nearly 500 of the best, long deleted and rare editions from those of a less interesting nature. We restocked many of Mylene Farmer's older CD singles, as well as the latest promo for Puet-etre Toi, plus a Divine Comedy

This week's news...
I received a parcel from a good and regular supplier - lots of the legular CDs along with some promo/sample 7” singles. Still waiting for his Ok on our offers... fingers crossed we can agree on a deal. I spent this weekend in another island in South West of Japan searching for more rare items then returned to my office for sorting and packing them ready for my next shipment to the UK... some of the interesting items I will be shipping include Manic St Preachers Generation Terrorist picture disc vinyl [I think you will agree it's strange to find a rare UK record in Japan!] plus the mis-pressed Led Zeppelin Grammaphon issue LP. I went to sleep early with a sore throat pain then as I am so hard working, I woke up in the midnight to check e-mails…I think I must blame Japanese air conditioning technology for this illness right now.

PINK FLOYD (GOOD ERA)...
A couple of classic Floyd items from the wonderful Syd Barrett era have arrived on our doorsteps recently. First up is a stunning original MONO vinyl version of the 'The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' album followed by a superb UK 7" copy of Syd's only commercially released single on the original Harvest label 'Octopus'.
On to a slightly different era and we've unearthed a genuine U2 rarity in the shape of the UK 'Discotheque' CD single in the WITHDRAWN jewel case picture sleeve, before it was replaced by the digipak version.

More highlights to follow this week should be some nice limited editions/picture discs/shapes from the likes of Iron Maiden & Metallica, so keep checking back...

I Don't Wanna Go On - 12" Blue Vinyl
A copy of this has surfaced in the U.S. (Yes, I have seen it, and held it in my hands!) Given the unusual nature of this single, does anyone have any idea what this might be worth? The owner is considering either selling, or trading for other rare Elton vinyl.

If you could provide us with some moer details - such as a scan of the disc we might be able to shed some light on it.

Nicki's debut single sold in excess of 5 million copies worldwide and reached #1 in 7 countries. To find a mint 12" like the one listed is virtually impossible as the track was released 11 years ago!! Buy it while you can!
