I am not making this up (although some imaginative craftsperson did):

The craftsperson made coasters out of the record jacket, and then heat-warped the LP to make a container for the coasters.

Cool! If I get a break from my busy schedule at Uni I may take advantage of the facilities and make myself a Mac set for myself. If I could bare to damage the vinyl, that is.

I could do it if I, of course, had a 2nd copy of the record! As it is I finally managed to get a vinyl copy of this album so it's allgood...

My next Christine purchase will have to be the Blue Horizon sessions cd. I have the 1984 album and In The Meantime but the Christine Perfect album is always a bit too expensive for me right now. Annoyingly, I don't think that Blue Horizon cd has I'd Rather Go Blind (since it was done with Chicken Shack) and I need to but a whole other album for that- am I right?

I have 2 copies of tons of albums (inc. Christine Perfect but sadly neither are blue horizon copies) but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, knowing how much work goes into pressing a record.

The BH CD doesn't have I'd Rather Go Blind, unfortunately but I used that as my justification for buying Chicken Shack's complete BH Sessions CD set :lol: You can pick Christine Perfect up on Sire for... 99p, right now :p

Thanks!! I'd missed that one on ebay when looking a little while ago. I'm now watching it and, since there's not a Buy It Now option for it I hope it doesn't get ridiculous! I'll still pick up the Blue Horizon CD though but probably after xmas!

I'd ask if you were up for selling a copy of the Christine Perfect album since you have 2 but I think K know the answer - haha!

I would have sold one but I had to buy the second because I've actually worn the grooves a bit thin on the first one. I didn't think it was possible, but apparently it is :o

I have my fingers crossed for you on the eBay one!

When I saw this thread I thought of you G-girl.
And I knew you could never do that to Mrs. McVie.

DAMN IT! I very stupidly thought that this listing ended tomorrow andwas planning to bid. I was out today and the listing ended - someone else got an absolute bargain! I'm so annoyed with myself for this. Oh well, the search continues..

Oh snap :( I saw it at a record fair for £4.50 today. I'd have grabbed it for you if I'd known and had that extra £1.50 on me!

I think you lost out here because of a common misunderstanding about eBay. There is absolutely no reason to wait until the last minute to bid on an eBay auction. Next time you see something you want, place a bid right away. Place your bid for the maximum amount you want to pay, but you won't pay that much unless other bidders jump in and push the price up. This is the beauty of the eBay proxy bidding system. Try it -- you'll like it!

My problem with that is that I get carried away. I can say "I want to pay £x and no more" but I then get the scent and can't stop bidding :laugh:

No - I know just how ebay works. I was just being a big greedy and waiting to see if anyone else had bid so I could get it for the lowest price possible (my maximum would have reflected other bids). It's my own fault for trying to be a bit too cheap.

That is precisely why the proxy bidding system is so good. You make a rational decision about the maximum you'd like to pay, and you bid that much, and you go away and don't even look at the auction again. It's likely you'll get a pleasant surprise -- winning the auction for a lot less than your maximum bid.

I agree completely, especially if the item has no bids. You're only encouraging people to bid up the item. I email myself a link, with the ending time as the subject.

Even though I'll be on vacation, I just sent myself a "Friday, 9PM" email, to place a last minute bid, on a vintage western shirt I want. I am a sniper...that's how I roll. (yeah, I'm cheap, too)

I wonder if they'll ever put Christine's Roland EP-10 on eBay.

Check out my favorite movies on my blog!
