EYE ON EBAY-------Satan's little earner

Thrust my hands deep into my pockets and found a farthing in a nest of fluff. So I stepped out of the bidding ring and let the madness ensue. Don't think I've seen this sell for as much as £345. It's Royal Northern by Demon Preacher. Seller Punkysteve is held in high esteem in ebay world so this attracted a small circus of non God-fearing bidders. If only this single would go forth and multiply; in other words will Sing Sing records please reissue it.

EYE ON EBAY-------Cashmere-lined raincoats

Some dirty old man or woman pays £87.68 for Blue Movies by the Fascinators. About the going rate. This single was for sale in MVE a few weeks ago for £175 and it sold! I'd love to meet the maniac who paid that for it. A few months previously an Oxfam near Marble Arch had two copies, both for sale at £75. How many copies of this record were pressed?

EYE ON EBAY------Maybe I'm amazed (on consideration, I'm not)

Predictable isn't it. The Amazing Space Frogs gently hop over the £300 barrier eventually selling for £310.99. Boring. Be a story if it sold for less than half that.

EYE ON EBAY----Worried trousers

The Angst In My Pants EP is home to some fine jagged offerings from the Digital Dinosaurs, Midnight Circus and the 012 among others. Experimental, detrimental or just mental tunes, there's plenty here to challenge the complacent listener. Final price, a surprising £104.53.

EYE ON EBAY----Too unlovely to dance with

Remember this Wallflowers single being on my wants list for a few years. Thank You is a mid-paced slightly melancholic tune. The band came from Slough which is still awaiting a barrage of bombs to land on it. The seller reeled in £41.50, only the 7" though, the 12" might secure nearly twice that.

MACHINE------A ghost in or a spanner in.......

The existence of some obscure SRT release from around 1978 by a band called Machine called Bored Of The City was brought to my attention. 45 Revs is not up to (45) speed on this one. It's out there somewhere. Any info on this would be cherished around these parts.

EYE ON EBAY----The portable minimal Dylan

I remember buying this single by Rainy Day Women some thirty years ago. As the seller declares, it's the first release on the legendary Monogam label. What sort of world does he live in? One I'd frequently visit, I imagine. Difficult synth but not as hard work as say the Foetus Symphony Orchestra (featuring Lydia Lunch) which I found in a charity shop yesterday for £2. Anyway the seller raked in £26 for this German nugget.
