@Jarrod Lawrence:
The markets were very different in the 90s, which were controlled by a few ‘experts’, a few dedicated auction houses and shops. The internet made all of us ‘experts’ in a split of a second eheheh… and with the feeling that we can get them all (which I believe it is still possible; otherwise, I would not continue to collect). Star Wars is one of those crazy test subjects, hand by hand with DC and Marvel Comics… all exposed, hyperinflated and, subsequently, exploited.
I believe that all of us suffer from a similar symptom: subtle hoarding disorder eheheh… though some that only collect test pressings are less reliable ? (peace ❤️)
I can only imagine the rarity of that flyer! Not many have survived for sure! That is probably the holy grail in your collection! For some odd reason, I have never felt tempted to have a defective Bleach cassette… silly me! But what a catch!!
please pm me a list of what you have for trade
@Sickboy:
I am jealous!! Only €20 for the Aussie Bleach?!? Crazy!! I think I remember when you found the yellow Czech Nevermind… it became subject of discussion in the other forum (now long defunct). I have never seen a copy for sale… so, I reckon less than 500 copies(?) I forgot to mention that I traded a Hormoaning Aussie Cassette (which I paid £35) plus a Hard to Believe censored edition (around £8) for a PRT CD single!! (I was able to replace both items a few years later for around £120, not bad).
You are right, the Bleach LPs were a bargain compare to today’s prices, but it was hard to digest at the time. I also lost an Ella Fitzgerald’s The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books 16 CD Verve Deluxe Box through a very unreliable delivery company (a story for another time!), otherwise, I have been lucky and HAPPY!
The Bleach LP came in an almost mint sleeve, with the usual green sticker on the top right; so, no number.
