FD would be nothing if we couldn't laugh at the small collection of noobs.

Show it anyway, any collection's a good un in my book

All you who didn't believe me:

My dad holding Suicide Alley:

[sculptureofabloke]

Can't speak for anyone else but I never said I didn't believe ya, just amazed that someone would buy it, put it away and forget they bought it! I swear, if I ever buy it I'm gonna treat the day like any normal person would treat a wedding anniversary.

Also, I find it a bit weird how your dad's holding that, where's his thumb?

[2004567]

Haha! I guess his thumb was on the back along with other fingers...you have good eyes Rich!

You're right, it's as inconsistent as Obama being american!

I'm not a collector, but I found this amongst my tapes. Still sealed, an NME tape from 1993. It doesn't have any Manics on it, but I think it's a pretty good example of how iconic Richey's 4 REAL cuts became:



It says "5 REEL" and the tape has Carter USM, One Dove (who?), The Jerky Boys (never heard of 'em), Back To The Planet (vague recollection...), Curve (sounds slightly familiar).

[2004567]

Wow that's pretty cool!

[helvissa]

Not as cool as owning "Suicide Alley"!!

The cassette I found in a charity shop a few years ago. I just like random Manics-references like that!

One Dove I believe featured Dot Allinson, who toured with Babyshambles in 2004. The Jerky Boys are an American comedy act.

In some ways it's a better time to start collecting now than it was 10 years ago or whatever, a lot of the Richey era singles were £20 a pop but you can usually get any one of em for a fiver now. Just vinyl that's gone up really, I blame the hipsters.

Yeah I was just looking at it and think eh, I wouldn't hold it like that. Tell him it's the holy grail, it deserves to be held properly.

Ha, don't even get me started on that... At the risk of starting a massive derail, have Glenn Beck et al finally stfu about it?
