Due to losing my job, my collecting is currently on a hiatus. But here's the latest state of my Manics collection:

It is a shame that all of them are Misprinted, if it ws just a batch it would be kinda collectable but not valuable!

Would anyone be willing to pick one up and ship it across the pond?

Im impressed by many collections Ive seen on here, far cry from mine. Hopefully I will have pictures up soon, just joined the forum and workings things out.

Is there any way you can tell which of the early ones have the Streetcar sample on Little Baby Nothing just by looking at it? If you've got one, how did you get it? Did you know what you were getting or were you just lucky?

the only difference from what i've heard is there's an '11' in the code print on the actual CD.

Speaking of which today i found a cassette of GT in a charity shop, which i already have. However this one has the original sticker still on the case so i bought it. Just gave it a quick skim through to see if it has the full intro for LBN and it does!! Not bad for 35p.

Ha, I've got a few copies of Generation Terrorists I've never listened to over different formats. I know Streetcar is on the sampler and the first Japanese cd. Been looking through my copies and noticed that there's only the second Japanese cd where they've bothered to change the time... Not sure if my cassette's got it on.. I'll find out in a minute

Yeah, UK cassette does but Thai one doesn't.

Few weeks of additions:


TGW Japanese cd, IKTZ standard UK and Japanese cds, Peeled Apples and Jackie Collins promos, both Dutch Everlastings, European From Despair To Where, interview thing, Canadian promos of Tolerate and Everlasting.



Lifeblood and Cooking, Cleaning And Flower Arranging LPs, New Art Riot black/white and red/black labels, Everything Must Go carbon neutral thing, Forever Delayed sliderpack thing, Turkish Lifeblood and Know Your Enemy cassettes.

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.

Im trying sooo hard to get hold of the YSTSFMH clamshell promo and Sleepflower never see them anywhere gutted :-(

Urgh, I've got the Tolerate and Everlasting ones.. Is that one a nightmare to get hold of or something?
