Well, if you go by EIL prices, yes. It most certainly is.

But that all depends on how much other epople woudl pay for the stuff, really. But I think I really snagged a deal when I got the Canadian Holy Bible for $65 US.
Also the two copies of the GT vinyl picture disc cost me a total of $60 ($40 to get one from the UK and $20 for one here in the US)
the holy Bible LP picture disc only cost about $15 including shipping from Michigan...
The GATS LP cost a swell 10 pounds before shipping (Buy It now was set at 10 pounds, so I snatched it up, not willing to risk paying 30+ pounds like the last person to get one off eBay).
the Hit Factory cassette was quite affordable, all things considring. I think the total was under 6 pounds.
The US GT LP was an even $20 (Thank you! You know who you are!).
A Collection only cost me $10 including shipping, I believe.

That's all I can really think of right now.

ibh and I need to go DO something. We've been holed up in my house all day.

Well, on standard UK stuff, I think all I may need now is the She Is Suffering disc 1, Let Robeson Sing cd1 and cd2... You Love Us and Motown junk Heavenly singles... Suicide Alley, Feminine Is Beautiful, other 7"ers... I dont' have a lot fo the 12" records, as they're expensive to ship... I usually get them if they're in the US (which isn't too often).

I just got Revol cd2, She Is Suffering cd2, From Despair To Where, La Tristesse Durera, a UK copy of Roses and the Faster cd, so that filled in a lot of holes.

Ummmmm... Yeah... And as one migth expect, I've got some buplicates i'm trying ot get rid of, so yeah.

Ooh thats a brillant collection, puts mine to shame. One thing i do have is a copy of a gig i went to in '91 at Taunton Priory Social club, a friend taped the gig and has recently put it on cd for me. To me, it's priceless as it was the first time i'd ever seen/heard of them. It's very raw with loads of crowd noise, you know, shouting abuse etc but it's brill.

Its the silver label, with the green print. Probably not espcially rare.
