		More reissues on ebay, both Bloodflowers and Galore, from a German seller

		easyme, if you have the original, you can easily compare the backside of the cover with this fake/reissue. Check the song titles on the backside and you will see the difference if you look very Close. You can also check Discogs.com for more info, both original and reissues.

		RED WARNING for STREET-BITES-RECORDS ON EBAY. Seller says it?s Bloodflowers original, but i can easily see that cover is reissue from 2022.

		�205 for a reissue from 2022:(

		curemember (68)	Mar, 4 7:34 PM
		Bloodflowers of course:)

Thanks!

For some personal reason, this is a record very close to my heart, so i am very happy to see it appear on the site..I know you work really hard at it Mr Webmaster, but there are a lot of items with "Pictures soon available" which deserve to be seen, even if, like this one they are fairly common...Brings me back to early collecting days and the excitement of finding a newly released promo record..

		Sometimes life is fun. I think it was me who bought the 7" A Foret :)

		from the early to the late 80s i travelled nearly every summer from austria to england and spent most of my money on records. i even had to buy a new bag to carry them back home. every time i came to the customs my knees got a bit week because autria was not in the ec at that time. poor me. i really thought they were looking for vinyl smugglers;-)

		I saw the Strawberry 7" Forest acetate in Camden in 1990 in a Goth music shop called Resurrection Records (at least it�s the current name). I will never forget it because it was the first handwritten label I ever saw (how strange that was!), and because I never saw such an expensive thing. It was 100 pounds, which meant NOT FOR SALE to me. I pointed my finger at the wall. "What is that and why is it so expensive?". "An acetate", they said. First time I heard that word. Whatever they explained next, I thought that record wasn�t for me. Ha!

		Plastic Passion ! I used to travel from France to London ONLY to buy some records... and this shop was one of my favorite ! (and another one in Camdem Town, just under the train bridge - I forget the name).

		jchristophem (181)	Jan, 20 2010 7:22 AM
		Same story here..even though i had bought all lp�s up to THOTD in France, i really started collecting in London...and the shop i started buying rarities from was called...Plastic Passion on Portobello Road... a sure sign!:)

		curemember (68)	Jan, 20 2010 7:12 AM
		I agree with you guys. I remember i was on my first record-fair 1988-89. I was 15 years old and i bought my first rare cure-records. I found killing an arab, boys dont cry and jumping, and i remember that all my money disappeared that day;)

		....and definitely a new kind of magic too!

		redhill (42)	Jan, 20 2010 4:12 AM
		wow tsao! i was a very frequent visitor at phantom records at that same time - we may have jostled over the �C� section without even knowing it at some stage! great shop indeed down the dodgy end of pitt street. the guy who ran it still trades as �budus� on ebay and always did have the best aussie rarities. don�t know what it is like now in your part of the world, but 2nd hand record shops are dying out fast in sydney - the rent rises and the internet has killed them all off. oh well, what we lost in magic we have more than made up for with information right here anyway!

		tsao (0)	Jan, 19 2010 11:12 PM
		I agree. The Internet and Ebay brought thousands of new records and chances to get them, but also killed most of the magic. The price of abundance! Summer 1991 in Sydney, I remember spotting the aussie 3-track 7" of Boys don�t cry signed by RS, Simon, Lol and Hartley, in a shop called Phantom Records. It costed AU$75 which was almost my budget for that summer. Collecting has given me nothing like that ever again.

		It was so hard collecting anything back then for me, living in the middle of the USA... of course I was only 13 in 1987, so I didn�t have money for anything really rare anyway. But the occasional import that would come into a record shop in town was really a memorable event. I remember that I got the French Mixed Up box set for Christmas one year, and it was the coolest thing I�d ever seen! It�s still one of my favorite items for that reason. Ebay is great, but it sure took the �magic� out of collecting to some extent.

		easyjeje (159)	Jan, 17 2010 1:24 PM
		That was one of the first "big" collector item I bought in 1987... I was 16 years old... and 25 euros (the price I paid at the time for this...) was so much money for me ! So I am also very happy to see this record now on the website. Thanks a lot :-)

		webmaster	Jan, 17 2010 12:46 AM
		I know what you mean. At last we�re finding the way and time to make these must-have records appear. Little by little though, no special rush because when they all appear... that will be it.
