Just one copy? So you're not keeping one for yourself? ;-)

Congrats anyway, I know you've been looking for this for a long time. Who hasn't?

Yes. JUST One copy. And I'm not keeping it.

I haven't ... :wink:
standard US Metal, nothing special ... 30-40 Euros are ok, but 3000 $ are a bad joke seen musically, those requested 1800 Euros are almost a bargain compared with the other sales ... haha
In the mid/late 90's I saw a copy for 70 DM here in Germany.
If DirtyRocker sees this advertisement, the single is already bought. If anyone wants it he should act quickly, before DirtyRocker turns up in the afternoon. lol

30 Euros for a legendary single known now in only 5 copies would have been a ridiculous bargain regardless of the quality of the music (which is subjective). And remember you recently paid a handsome price for Charley Browne despite claiming it sucks, so nice double standards there.

Back in the 90's paying 70 DM for a record to me was like paying 200 $ nowadays. Just that you understand the standard of those times. And you couldn't google for US bands or Metal bands in general. There was written US Metal behind the offer. US Metal back in the day could mean anything. Second Mere Mortals I bought offered as "Power Metal". I guess you know Mere Mortals?

Charley Browne wasn't "handsome priced". It wasn't even 100 US $ if I remember well ... around 80 US $ (p+p already incl.). I'm a bit confused with aussie Dollars, it looks much in the first but then it's just a handful of Euros. hehe

Far East aren't bad at all, but my first impression after listening was "Hm, that's all???? Sounds like the Stranglers of Bömbay, just with better guitar solos." I had so high expectations ... it's just usual standard US Metal. You hear them and the next day you can't remember the song anymore. Theatrics 7" was by far more remarkable.

I would like to hear what all the hype over this record is as well but the elitist cunts that buy this stuff want to keep it as "cult" as possible and never share it unfortunately. I have a single track sitting on a hard drive but I have doubts it's the real band. I can provide you with that if you like sovvy.

It would be great to hear this impossible to find obscurity in US steel too.

Didn't someone upload it in Poisonoise a while ago? Or was it an April Fool's prank? Can't remember.

Anyway, there were sounds clips in Jim's auction. I'm sure someone managed to save them somehow.

How many of your posts since hitting the limit to enter Poisonoise are asking for uploads?

Could be close to the limit. I'm not sure at the moment.
