EYE ON EBAY-----You've been fingered.

Obscure release by Fingers on Ratchet records. We're Alright/Saints Alive sells for £142. Did it ever come in a picture cover?

EYE ON EBAY----Dead comedian's anti-feminist moment.

I'm fairly certain that everything on this lp by Bob Hope, I Hope The Sky Falls On Her Head, appears on Accident's The Patron Saint Of Adultery compilation which has a marginally more fetching cover of a woman in her underwear ( depending on your sexual preference ), which is perhaps a reference to that infamous night when the real Bob Hope compered Miss World and outraged feminists stormed the stage. Poor Bob was shaken and had to muster all his Hollywood bluster to righteously decry the harpies. If only feminists would storm the stage when misogynstic rappers start ranting on about bitches and hos. Whatever happened to the noble occupation of protesting? Meanwhile this sold for £66.99.

EYE ON EBAY-----Lethal fish

Not rockabilly and not the Bristol bunch, this Stingrays is an altogether more interesting prospect simply because I'd never heard of them until Modboy put this single Still In Love With You up for auction. A financial outlay of £42 secured this slice of fish food.

EYE ON EBAY-----

Bit of a bargain snapping up Kenickie's Catsuit City for £19. This was Kenickie's first single release on Marxist label Slampt, the north east's angry voice of insurrection. Lauren Laverne has now firmly slotted herself into the establishment.

EYE ON EBAY------A Welsh wet one

Genuinely rare powerpop single by Welsh band Liquid Stone. Released sleeveless, rumours have it that only a hundred or so exist. So no surprise when this sold for £500. Seller claimed that the a side had never been comped but he's made an error as the curious can find Here Comes The Weekend on Powerpearls volume 10.

EYE ON EBAY---------Supporting players

Never heard of The Actors but seller Modboy claims they would fit into the C86 bracket. The band was not imaginative enough to come up with a name for their label so maybe not much can be expected from their single which is comprised of three songs, Insanity, Strange Thoughts and Colony Earth. This mysterious item sold for £66.
