Nice. Buying singles is definitely recommended. The 'boringness' of that Infra Red Helicopters p/s is especially entertaining as the band bloke wot 'designed' that p/s went on to set up The Designers Republic. There was briefly some suggestion that he might've got involved in the design for the '45 Revs' book, but, well... didn't happen.
I don't think you could improve on the design of the book, all those juicy picture sleeves on the cover.
The first thing the girlfriend asked was how many do I own. 33 at the present time. Poor. And every time I look at the cover and see Beyond The Implode and the Deadly Toys it niggles. I want!
Midnight oil was burnt, voices were raised, and in the end pacts were made trying to decide which singles to go on the cover! I think 33 is pretty good, by the way (that's assuming your Tours single is the ORANGE p/s, and that your Rudi is the YELLOW, and that your "Peaches" is the 'blackmail' etc... otherwise, that's cheating!).
Assuming that's the Killjoys to the left of The Bears and Boomtown Rats above Sema 4, I've only got 25. That includes about half a dozen sleeve variations and a sleeveless Schoolgirl Bitch.
OK I have the Rudi single and Tours single but not with those colours, so I guess I'm down to 31.
Oh and my Peaches has no picture sleeve but I didn't include that in my original 33.
