An update on the Fire / Jericho tape from eBay:




Came in a standard clear box in above average condition, but not worth showing that. The inlay is nearly 100% though, only the slight cracking on the folds, inside and out, and a few fingerprints on the inside 'lava' pic. The slight marks where I've laid the folds out flat disappear when folded back up again. The tape is as new, and unplayed. Won't be either, as I don't have a tape deck any more..

I'm well chuffed.

that;s a fucking sweet tape man. Everycunt in here puts my collection too shame!

don't worry man alot of shit is hard to get ahold of, i aint got dirtchamber cause the shops say they do it but they take 10 weeks to tell u there out of stock

what about ebay or amazon or hmv...not that hard to find

Certainly some items are hard to get hold of, I myself am still looking for a copy of Earthbound (anyone got a cheap one?), but most of my collection was either picked up off eBay or through Discogs quite cheaply. In fact most of the common CDs and 12"s were under a fiver each! (It's rare that I'll pay more than £30 for anything..)

The thing that bumps the price up for me is the postage of foreign items to the UK. For example, one 12" record is about $15 delivered from America to the UK, where I might only pay $5 for the actual item.

You just have to keep your eyes open, hope that no-one bids against you, and if you *really* want something, be prepared to pay more than you usually would. No-one said collecting was a cheap hobby!

Of course if I find a duplicate of what I've already got and I know it's cheap, I'll buy it and sell it on a few weeks later.


Here's an example of a cheap copy of Dirtchamber for just 49p (starting price):

If Youre satisfied/proud of Your collection just post a photo, any photos are welcme : )

@jetsonik112
Yeah, postage costs, now imagine how expensive it is for someone outside UK/USA, we need to import most of cds/vinyls : (

Sad but true...

hot diggedy-dawg..that's the only tape I haven't got

I'm sure You're missing many more... <winks>

That's the only UK commercially released XL tape I don't own.

Is that better

Anybody got that tape? Does it exist?

I've got Fire/Jericho on cassette but it's from KOCH and catalogue number it's 33968-7, not XLC 30.

Yes otherwise discogs wouldn't have it on the site. They don't make them up

Well, Discogs is sometimes wrong

Maybe they are refering to KOCH tape and they assume that catalogue number is XLC 30.

I bet that if it is submitted by Mindblow this tape exist. (He also list in on his website, with release date so he was probably sure about it)
