6 Track Promo
Permalink  
 


A 6 track promo copy of Bobs new album has just been sold for £90 on ebay.I was outbided in the last few seconds by a buyer from Italy.I wonder if Eddy(of The Happy Fan Club) really did throw in the towel like he said he would?.Good luck to the winner,beat me fair and square.

Totally agree with you on that. Unless it was maybe on vinyl- a cd seems a bit tatty!

Perhaps there were some songs on that six track that were not on the album- he initially had fourteen songs down for our consideration. Maybe Derek  would know about this.

Also its possible this Italian guy has money to burn so I suppose it that case good luck to him.

I wasn't expecting it to be that high, thought £20 at the most and yes I thought the same thing - why pay so much for part of an album.  Only thing is - is it collectable or something?  Rare?  But I'll wait for the whole thing and be done with. 

Didn't bother bidding when I saw it went it silly.  Good to know Bob is worthy of that though.  biggrin

There's another for a fiver....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOB-GELDOF-Compose-UK-nod-test-press-sampler-CD-/230578290719?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL&hash=item35af89801f

Collectible or rare?  I don't know.  These things start to proliferate fairly rapidly, so you may see a dozen on eBay next week.   All 6 of the Rats press release albums are up on eBay for £8.50 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOOMTOWN-RATS-6-x-UK-test-CDs-1st-Tonic-Surfacing-Mondo-/230575262558?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL&hash=item35af5b4b5e

£90 - always amazed at what things go for on eBay.

As an aside,  given Geldof's disdain of the CD, no sign of a vinyl release.

That original one has been relisted so it might be the same one.

You're right ArrGee crazy things go for lots of money on eBay.  My friends put their old rotten shed on there, thinking it was a bit of a joke and no-one would bid on it.  But they sold it for, I think, £80 or £90 and the buyer came from Dorset area to north Oxfordshire to collect it.biggrin

Maybe vinyl will come later if the CD does sell?

Yes you have. Its on sale   today, official release day 7 Feb for Euro 11.99 which is just over a tenner in uk/Sterling.

I presume you get exactly the same songs and artwork etc

Wonder whats the price in Copenhagen or wherever you live ie the price for the cd in the music outlets. You could have put your money in the piggy bank for a future Geldof concert!

There are a few who did that about eight years ago...
 
Out of interest, is Young & Sober part of Here's To You on the demo?   If so, it could be better than having to scratch out Silly Thing from the proper CD.

Yes, I also had a crazy moment and paid £30 for the 15 track version.  Ah well perhaps not as crazy as £88.wink
