P.S. PHANTOM ,we may have a problem...im a big liverpool fan (well an armchair fan)...are you going tothe match?

Im bloody well outraged by some of the profiteering gits on EBAY ,RECORD STORE DAY as part of their campaign released many limited items by many different artists,including several releases by T.REX ,including a box set of four singles called ELECTRIC SEVENS (inc several unreleased outakes from the warrior sessions),retailing at around £40.00 ,which are now sadly turning up on the net for between 80 to a 100 quid ,and the fact that they are all still sealed means they were bought soley for the intention of gain,for me it wasnt possible to get out and get one from the store ,and as much as i would like a copy (and can afford it) their is no way im going to pay their inflated prices purley on the grounds that it will only encourage their seedy behaviour ,once a gain real fans are being ripped off

I see that sort of horrible where I work all the time. Nasty jerks buying items just to make cash. It's even more awful when it's things like this that should belong to fans at the more reasonable prices originally offered.

ALI ,yeah its quite sickening really ,profiteering from music ,iv just been reading a blog by HENRY ROLLINS on a similar subject,.He writes ,"as i write this i am looking out of my tour bus window there are a crowd of people outside waiting for me to sign things ,and i know for a fact that 90% of them wont even be going to the show ,they have just come here to get their pre downloaded photos signed and they will probably be on EBAY within the hour"......i think HENRY has hit the nail right on the head. ,.I mean that says it all, its become a very greedy world ,a wiser man than me wrote "OUT OF THE CROOKED TIMBER OF MAN ,NOTHING STRAIGHT WAS EVER MADE"......rant over

Hey, Pete B. what about the Dick Whittington? me and me mates gave them a few hidings, maybe you was one? apologies if you were. Glad we have nearly grown up now!
