[Deets]

do I really have to say that I envy? how long you've been collecting that stuff? how much you spent on it? what else you wanna get? what are you the most proud of?

[Velourian]

I've seen museums with smaller collections. Seriously, wow.

All I have are the albums, compilations and about a dozen posters.

EMG match boxes? Now that's really something, great collection Alive2000

I dunno. It was something really cheap, so I didn't care if it was an official thing or not.

I kind of envy Scum Factor and Lancashire Potter's collections. Especially Lancashire Potter's.

I've been collecting since late in '03, I'd probably say.

I don't want to think about how much I've spent total, but some items I can rattle off the top of my head:
Feminine Is Beautiful - 100 pounds
Generation Terrorists US Longboxed cd - 50 pounds
The Canadian Holy Bible - $65
The Canadian Clamshell Promo picture discs - $75 for the set
The Holy bible Picture Disc LP - $15
Done and Dusted - $40
Lipstick Traces vinyl LP - $86
Lifeblood Japanese promo dvd - $15

Well, shit, I want it all, but there are some things I won't get, unless I buy them from Lancashire Potter's estate once he croaks. He's secured some fantastic shit, let me tell you. He's also responsible for helping me amass this collection, and I am eternally grateful to him for it.

However, the thing I've obsessed over lately is a SEALED copy of the Everything Must Go Remix 12" promo. I don't want to get it if the sticker isn't fully intact, but I haven't seen one come up in a very long time.
And obviously there's an original copy of Suicide Alley on the horizon sometime, as well as a hope of tracking down more things like the Damaged Goods White Label promo for New Art Riot, the Symphony of Tourette 7", the Black Dog on My Shoulder Whitfield Street Studios promo, the USA promo for Lipstick Traces, the God Save The Manics cd-r promo, the i Killed the Zeitgeist sampler, The Shining Path promo, the "Live Tracks" cd-r that's in the misc section at theloveof.tk.

I'm most proud of the Feminine Is Beautiful, the Clamshells, fully signed GT, Sleepflower, Lifeblood Japanese promo dvd, and the Canadian Holy Bible. And the simple fact that I'm a US fan and I have all this.

[i-friday]

Before reading the thread, I can't imagine that they released so many many many version of each album/single. There're many unseen items for me ~.

Here you can see them all (well, probably all) released formats. It's a very informative site. When I started buying Manics-stuff I didn't buy vinyl-singles, only CDs, which I've regretted since as they were available cheap then.
