Yeah, there must be something about that album that we metal folks aren't aware of. That, or someone's bidding on their own records trying to generate hype

Hmm, I wish someone will put a bid on the CD I'm selling ... ;)

I had a romantic idea that noone will see this auction and I'll get it for around $50 ...

Winner was rituallyabused, I suppose that he was the 2nd one on the Deathrider CD auction that ended several months ago (cca $260, winner was thrashkingmorizo1970)

I don't think so, picked up my cop for less than £10. I've seen it for sale numerous times for around the same price. I think this is strictly a one off. It's great stuff though.

I don't think the record is anything special, the winning bidder had feedback of 1000+, I get the feeling that it may be a couple of the bands themselves batling it out for the record. I've tracked down two of the bands from this comp during my detective work.

Funny thing about "Synthetic Romance": It's the ONLY album I've gotten "do you have a copy for sale? Do you?! DO YOU!?!!"-emails about since I started up the Metal label pages - 3 of them actually. I don't know why but for some reason it's a highly sought-after release among new wave/new romantic/electro-collectors..

And welcome back, Kiki! :D We've missed your.. eh..? Chutzpah?

You just put up JUNO'S CLAW on ebay and you're "temped" to get rid off a new wave-comp? :lol:

(Fair enough, just make sure make a rip of it before it flies since I'm sort of a closet fan of the genre..)

I had three of the Juno's 45, which I simply don't rate at all. Got some dirty cash for the unplayed one I had. I like the SR LP, I'm a fan out of the closet.

It is sad to think that the most expensive record on Ebony might just be a non-metal release. ugh.

Yes, irony at its most amusing.

Yes, this was one of my watched listings recently as well.

I have to admit that this CD has been on my want list for some time now, but due to how damn average this band is a(nd that's stretching it) I just can't justify paying that kind of money for this.

I guess that makes two of us that have the same dream of picking this up randomly for cheap.

hahah bought this for like 4 dollars at the record store
It's actually a pretty common cd at the record stores around here. I've seen it countless times.

They would have manufactured 1000's of them.
