To be 100% honest, I think this is a new world record in Most Obscure Top-Rarities Compiled In A Handful Of Pics, on this forum or elsewhere. That's some impressive work tracking all of those down... I can't help being especially impressed by how you nailed some of those Swedish ones. That's the first copy of the 2nd Jackwave 7" I've even heard about in the hand of a collector, outside the band themselves. Also the 2nd copy of Big Hozz I've ever seen (...though the other copy did have the picture sleeve )
Will get back to you w/ some Q's about some of those pearls via pm soon...
Thanks for the kind words man!!!! It certainly took some work, but a labor of love as I’m sure most here would agree. That Jackwave tp is one of the ones I was talking about in my comment to Ripper that I sold off some spares to finance the purchase it was a good chunk of change, but I got it directly from the band, along with the first 7”, Jackwave demo and Arabian Hugs demo (pre Jackwave) + the recent compilation CD. And honestly the price I paid for all that stuff is what I was willing to pay for the TP alone, so everything else was kinda just icing on the cake.
I’ve had a hard time getting a real answer about the Big Hozz picture sleeve, seems it was a one off / hand made deal for one copy that went to a radio station,as much it kills me inside a little bit to not have that pic sleeve, I have somehow managed to accept it as is …..-1 for missing Big Hozz hand made pic sleeve /// +1 for the Thynn Ice TP with one of a kind hand made pic sleeve
Sorry it took me so long to respond, life’s been busy, but shoot me any questions you have, I’ll try to get back to you a little faster this time!!
