The Medusa Fora

Hahaha, yeah that's the Brotherhood of The Medusa, I guess!!! (or perhaps Sisterhood, delete as applicable...)

Can't say I've ever noticed another Medusan bidding against me, but as I say most of the stuff I buy is the cheap stuff around the 1-3 pound mark. I'm currently trying to collect all the Pogues 7" singles (and everything else as well, to be honest!!). I love vinyl, and 7's in particular. I've no intention of playing them much, if at all, I just like the look and the feel of them... oh my God I've just realised... I'm an ANORAK!!

I just remembered, I picked up the 3" CD single of Yeah Yeah (etc) a short while back, not particularly rare but an unusual little thing... (I've never played that either).

The most unusual thing I got was the golden disc of Rum, Sodomy. Still dn't know how that got up on Ebay

Wow!! How much was that?? (If you don't mind me asking)

a lot

Heh heh, yeah, I guessed as much. I hope you've given it pride of place on a very prominent wall somewhere!

Haha you know, ive got if for over a year now and still it's in the corner of my room . I'm waiting when I have a house on my own and then I'll make a Pogues wall with all of the records in a huge frame and the gold one in the middle

Brilliant idea !

I once had a few Pogues picture discs at my wall, including those special shaped singles "A pair of brown eyes" (Ireland shape) and "Sally MacLennane" (wheel-barrow shape). Those look particularly well.

Well it looks like the ones you always see with the British flag, the Rum, sodomy sleeve and with the Stiff Records thingie on it

Well even if it's a copy, it's still a thing of beauty, for sure!

I try to stay away from ebay as I spend way too much money

I know what you mean! Usually I just sell but then I see things and think - go on then. And then suddenly all these packages drop through the door and my bank balance takes a hammering. It's addictive - but I have picked up some real bargains on there ... I think. It's been great for clearign out my hourse though.

Anyone who is interested? This seller has The Snake on vinyl for $1480

Wow, if the vinyl is going for that much then I wonder how much my original version on cassette is worth?
