Insane Ebay Auctions (OLD'n'locked)

I won that ebay auction and that is the same copy that just sold
I also got the remaining Avatar 45's from him along with his yellow vinyl

Mr. Allinson was a super nice guy but when it really came down to it he didn't know much. When he did his book it was such a joke. He sent me a copy and asked for my help. I wrote up 300+ records that were missing from the "A" section sent it to him and said hell if I am going to do this for you I should just do my own book, He didn't like that very much. so he released what he had. Pretty bad

Ah, so it was the same Metropolis copy?! Amazing.

Yeah, John Allinson's book was missing tons of stuff, and he mistakenly thought no one would be interested in biographical information about the bands. His main interests seemed to be nwobhm, doom, and swamp/delta blues music. It was far from complete but it was something, and back then (i.e. pre-internet explosion) any source of info on discographies was helpful. I had only been colelcting for a few years when it came out, so it was probably more useful from my POV.

New question for everyone: I've heard there are bootleg copies of the 'yellow goat' Bathory album, but never heard how they're discernable from the real thing. Does anyone know for sure if there are boots, and if so, how to spot them?

Well, what i've read once is that they were 'coloured in' white goats. So I think they would be pretty easy to spot, but maybe not on a blurry photo...

It's always nice when an instance of eBay insanity strikes one of your own auctions. I don't remember how long I had this on my sale list at $20 for, but I thank you all for not buying it.

wow that is fucking retarded - i still think any more than $20AUD for ANY CD is too much*.

*too much as far as me buying them, of course i'd be happy to sell them if some chucklehead will pay for them!

I lost that one as it went for a bit over $80. How much do you think it should go for normally?
