    Hey no don't feel bad! I'm hopeful there won't be a problem - and if everything is fine I'll be over the moon as getting hold of that album is like finding pubic hair growing on an egg lol.

    To be honest I usually buy from discogs and haven't had a problem. On eBay yes. Also bought another 2 albums at the same time as Electrified, one seller (Roxy media) has told me that they don't know when the album will be in stock even though it's advertised as being so si ive demanded a refund, and the other hasn't posted it got back to me since - wankers.

    I ordered the Roxy Music box and a Johnny Cash box set's from a well known online retail store and paid via Paypal,received a not in stock reply,so canceled the order and got a refund.About a month later they both turned up,contacted the seller and asked them to arrange collection,18 months later they still haven't collected them,so seems a shame not to play them.

    Rarely buy off the auction site,but have picked quite a few bargains " Minimum Maximum" sealed vinyl box for £30 springs to mind,stick to record fairs mostly now.

    But if you buy new you should have the pleasure/confidence of opening it yourself.


    Same thing with Subbuteo.
    I know of collectors buying shrinkwrapped teams that have never been used and they don't care what reference number they are, so long as they're unopened.
    Same thing with blister-carded toys, of course, like Star Wars figures, etc.

    Subby teams often go for hundreds of pounds anyway, but factor in this "fetish" and you're looking at £1000+ for a rare one.

    Whatever men collect, they will pay over the odds for .. twas ever thus

    Hmmm - considering only 1000 (I think) were produced the seller now has another on eBay......

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Received today. Packaging immaculate. Vinyl outside of main box which in my opinion is stupid as the design of the box is fantastic. But all seems well - listening now and I'd say it's unplayed - but another album to go....

    Gosh it's bloody good!

    E Bays a funny thing. Sometimes we expect the worse (especially after bad things have happened ), but it never ceases to amaze you when you find an honest gem of a seller
