I sent for mine through the website.
I would never consider selling it no matter how much they go for, it's one of my favourite manics things, I dunno why.

It might not be their best, but it is pretty good! 3 whole original Manics songs, not available anywhere else (ok, except the Japanese Lipstick Traces), produced in very limited quantities, £50 might be a lot, but it's not crazy.

£50 for some 7" of Design For Life where they've spelt the producer's name wrong or something, that's foolish, but not for songs that you can't find elsewhere!

I think I paid about £10 for a New copy on ebay in 2006/2007.

I had sent off for the free copy in 2005 but didn't get a copy - wasn't there a cockup which meant people who sent away for it first/early on didn't get a copy?

Is that true? I sent off for one pretty swiftly but didn't get one, I just put it down to there being plenty of more rabid fans than me out there.

No way I'd fork out £50 for one now though, I've got all the songs anyway.

i got £58 for one and £72 for the other, so it covered my travel, tickets and food. which wasnt so bad

Whatever it was that happened, I did have a vision of all of the envelopes/packages we sent off piling up with the earliest at the bottom and the ones sent later at the top and they worked their way from the top down.

I'd love to have one. I've got Japanese promo of LT that includes the songs but it's not the same than Nicky's pic on cover, isn't it?

I actually picked up 7 when I was at the show as I too found the box on the street. I gave 6 away to people on this very board...most of which were at the gig but missed the EPs.

I am in need of camera fund though. Hmmm why do I feel so guilty for considering ebay!?!
