Turntable Revolution Record Collection 29

EYE ON EBAY-----Oooooh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh

Seller claims to have rescued this Obtainers single from Crawley tip. (I remember buying my copy in a long defunct record shop in Putney on the strength of a favourable review in the NME). Quite what he or she was doing scrambling around in such an environment one can only wonder though perhaps this will encourage legions of record collectors to get down and dirty in their local waste. I'd advise against it as there are enough wee-smelling sorts ambling around record fairs, my stamina for stinky obsessives can only extend so far; what is it with some collectors, are they afraid of soap? Anyway despite last month's Record Collector featuring this single with a price tag of £1000 the Crawley-tip crawler secures under half that, £454.

EYE ON EBAY-----Never had a haircut in his favourite shirt

Mr.Boogaloo sells some interesting private pressings. Despite spending two hours coating my fingers in stubborn dust whilst rooting through his unloved boxes of indie/powerpop singles this single by Nick Haward, Grey Day/Watching Through My Window, evaded capture. Obviously he has a secret chamber where he keeps his more interesting stuff. Nick appears to have originated from the Southwold area of Suffolk; I suspect there's a junk shop in the vicinity that's overflowing with gently crushed copies of Nick's single. Sold for £42.89, possibly because bidders confused Mr Haward with his near namesake Nick Heyward.
