Look for the music you look for but I just dont get off on all this rare record marketing bullshit. If I have the music I dont really care if you have limited edition artwork and a super duper design on your vinyl.
I have bought some Joy Division 12" singles and first pressing albums but I didnt pay much and I didnt need to be reminded to pick up a copy on RS Day. Ive bought a record in all its available colours to make an art piece wall display. It was just a bit of fun and I dont think the records are rare or will increase in value
Each to their own but I cant think of anything where I need to pay inflated prices for a special edition picture disc. I dont need a marketing day to remind me to buy music.
I let the music do the talking and not the collectors B/S
That's pretty much why I have never really been interested before. It has always come across as a bit gimmicky, but this year there does seem to be a genuinely unreleased, fairly obscure BBC Radiophonic workshop soundtrack. I doubt I'll actually venture into Cardiff to queue for one though, I'll wait and see what's available after all the fuss has passed.
