Blimey, I've got one of those somewhere. £75 anyone??

Funky 4 Corners Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 His implication is that the original sold more than the re-issue, so what?
Guest MBarrett Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I suppose it only needs a couple of people on a nostalgia kick doesn't it. I can remember this being a bit of an iconic album cover when it came out. On display in the window of our local record shop. But if you were mid-teens in the mid-60s the chance of buying a copy was very very low. There would have been a few copies around at parties and youth clubs and what have you - but quite likely dropped on the floor and generally mistreated. Now a chance to buy it as if it was brand new from the shop. And there will be some out there who can find £100 today easier than they could have found the thirty five shillings (or whatever it was) back then. Just my spin on it . . . . . . . . . .
Funky 4 Corners Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 I think you're right, the condition is `as new` and if it were a dream to own it back then AND you've just received your pension lump sum, well what the hell. Will a Lambretta be next on the shopping list?
