....if so, how much would you pay for it? Ever been looking for that limited edition test pressing or import? Whether it be vinyl or CD. Or whatever format. How far have you gone to get what you desire?

If it's not on Amazon second-hand for under £1 I'm not interested.

Most of the 'back in the day' singles I have I got as presents. My dad said he saw 'Do What Ya Like' for 80 pounds on eBay :| I'm only missing that,Promises and Once You've Tasted Love.

I paid 120 pounds for Christina Aguilera's first ever CD recording, a featuring vocal on a Japanese singer's song haha. Also paid 40 pounds for 3 limited edition singles released along side her Sears and Levi's tour.

Woah! That's a lot of money. I have paid £35 each for 2 albums and £25 each for 2 7" singles and I thought that was a lot. Was your purchase worth it?

well, I mean never regret it or anything, so yeah I suppose it was worth it. it's a pretty rare item so to have it is quite cool. I paid it through two deposits over time though.

Get your fingers off it! I was just looking at some of the prices of Depeche Mode stuff. You got this one? :tongue:


DEPECHE MODE Get The Balance Right (Rare 1983 UK metal 'mother' stamper for side one of the 12" single [L12BONG2]. Mothers are a metal version of the finished record and only 2 or 3 stampers would have been manufactured. As it is over twenty-five years it is likely that this is the only surviving one in existence especially as they were often destroyed once the commercial release was pressed. A stunning collectable which would look great framed, a must have for any Depeche Mode) **See More Info for further details on 'Stampers'**

Probably the most valueable piece of collectors items would be from the era when the music was pretty much worthless. Sorry, Vince Clarke :(.

I'm going to have to rob a bank.

I have been looking at synths too. A Roland TB-303 bassline synth will set you back thousands, all to recreate the tripped out sounds of the early 90's.
