EYE ON EBAY----Coastal commotion

I have no information to impart about Brouhaha except that which the seller yields. Released in 1993 it was the first release on Sep records, were there others? A 12" called Pebble Beach it excited a couple of indiepop collectors and sold for £59.74.

Up for re-release apparently in the new year this didn't prevent this single by Straightshooter on Strolling Bone fetching in a tidy £170 for the seller.

EYE ON EBAY-----Bunch of failed liars.

The seller kindly gave bidders a listen and I liked what I heard. This is Society and their single Can't Hide A Lie. A rousing roistering punky number released in 1980, apparently without a picture sleeve. Sold for its starting price of £30.82 and I'm regretting not chucking £40 at it.

EYE ON EBAY-------If only they'd had texting back then

Mystery powerpoppers the Bodgers cut this single Stutter/I Hate Phoning Girls back in 1982 on their imaginatively named label Bodgers Records. Did this originally come in a sleeve? If so it might have sold for more than £26.

EYE ON EBAY---Let's have a Ball

Regular visitors may remember I snapped up this artifact in a charity shop earlier this year. Pop Goes Art by the Times had a homemade sleeve which is as artistic as anything Damien Hurst has belched out. Netted the seller a reasonable £57.60.

EYE ON EBAY------Bought off the street

This four track EP by the Street People is rarely seen. £165 sale price should see them get a bed for the night. I considered a punt at this but if I'd have paid that for it the girlfriend would have put me out on the street.

EYE ON EBAY----Welsh punks educated enough to write their names

A signed copy of this little gem by the Screen Gemz, which bears a slight resemblance to the Jags, fetches a healthy £275. Never sells for under a £100 but this is one of its highest sale prices.
