Ratlife EP

Derek The Dane · V Deep

Hello Suss,can you please get me an autographed copy and please let me know how much for postage to Denmark.My record player is knackered but this will give me an excuss to buy a new one.Any problems please drop me a line.Thanks

suss · In the Long Grass

No problem Derek. Will either get one next gig or see the guy selling in meantime and get a quote for you.

I knew this would please Detek.

Mmm, that is very tempting.

If I get one in Tring, it'll be smashed to smithereens by the time I get it home. I'd drop a hint to the kids regarding Father's Day if it was on mail order. Lot of restraint from Derek, he'd normally buy twenty copies. I note Rat Tracks is there in the background as well.

suss · In the Long Grass

I had a bet with myself Derek would be first on list so I'm a few quid better off now biggrin

Normally they're just at t-shirt stand but Wychwood had a sort of vinyl fair in the merch marquee so these got displayed as part of that. My guess is someone (selling) saw an opportunity and sifted through their vinyl boxes and lifted any other Rats stuff out for prominence and increased chance of sale. Apart from Rat Tracks and a couple of copies each of Tonic and Mondo Bongo there were a handful of 7" originals strategically placed next to promos but that was it. Wasn't anything to do with the 'official' merch and was very much a one off.

I'm also expecting a few chancers who bought these promos to put them up on eBay for about 3 times the face value. Don't be tempted! I'm very happy to source and post at cost to fellow fans on here who can't make gigs while they're still available. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if they pop up on Rats website before too long.

As for them being smashed up during gig...just ask for it to be put by at t-shirt stand. That's what I did. and collected after the gig.

If there is a new Rats album chances are it will get a vinyl release. Any someone I spoke to at Winchwood hinted there might be a new album and that's all I'm saying. It is still early days in the Rats ' regrouping' and all good things come with time....

The Rats are playing to great crowds and why should they want the party to end? They just need space and time and who knows what may emerge?

Forgot to say after excitement of the gigs, there are limited edition 10" vinyl copies of the 4 track ep for sale, £20 signed by the main four, or £12 without autographs.
Not aware of these being available outside the gigs yet so if anyone is keen but not gigging drop me a PM and I'll take orders.

Great stuff Suss do you know where this store is? Love to get my hands on one of the records

suss · In the Long Grass

This was from temporary stall at Wychwood. Not available in stores anywhere (yet), just at gigs. See posts above.

None on eBay. Only place to get them is the venue, which is good cos otherwise I would have succumbed by now. Must resist the temptation when I go to Cambridge. Next week is going to expensive enough with three gigs in five nights.

I have seen one on ebay,guy wants £40 for it.

He may want £40, but he ain't gonna get it. Likewise the four old fellas who want £20 for a copy they scribbled on.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Now completely sold out. Limited edition of 180. No further being produced.

Ah that's saved me an impulsive £20.

Derek The Dane · V Deep

If anyone has a copy for sale I am willing to pay £30 + postage to Denmark.I sadly cannot seem to get a copy so if anyone has 1 for sale please let me know,thanks.

suss · In the Long Grass

Derek,

Query out with merchandising to see if any are still kicking around. Will let you know unless one turns up in interim.

Also (for Jules' benefit mainly as this thread reminded me) there are no more mugs at all, but might get some new design ones in due course ahead of this year's dates.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Fingers crossed for a new mug. I'll get 2 and will let Krissie know.

Derek The Dane · V Deep

Luv my new mug,use it all the time.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Love mine too. Our friend Krissie managed to break hers and is devastated. It made me realise I should have bought 2, just in case.

Maybe the could do themed mugs ie Tonic For The Troops or Fine Art of Surfacing, with the appropriate album cover on the mugs. Then people might actually buy two. smile

Pretty sure ATFTT was available as an unofficial mug on eBay. Mondays cover definitely was...

I think ATFTT unofficial mug is available on eBay.
