Hey, All this talk about who's the biggest idiot for spending stupid amounts of cash for rare records is absurd! Especially when I'm wondering how much money goes into escalting drug habits and the whole "rave" scene!!! Half the fun (and the battle) is tracking down the record in question... once you've gotten that far, if you want something bad enough you'll pay for it! I've been collecting, trading, & selling rare jazz, techno, industrial, german... lps for years and from time to time I've been known to drop more than $100 on a record and have never been dissapointed! We all have our vices and besides, one of these days I'm gonna care less about all of my lps and watch all of you scramble at my feet to support my retirement fund!!! discreetly, lb P.S. One more for the legend book... The day I received Skam 001 in the mail absolutely "free" from Andy Maddocks himself!
