Yeah, I've got some
Isis stuff on vinyl; also stuff by
QOTSA,
The Sword,
Orange Goblin,
Unida, and so forth. You could easily spend a small fortune tracking down all the different pressings/coloured vinyl etc. I also have a big collection of Soul and Funk LPs. Some of those can be really hard to track down, although a few UK companies have started popping up reissuing obscure stuff on remastered CD with fancy packaging, much like what Arrow and Shameless are doing with movies! The prices I've seen people paying for rare Northern Soul singles is eye watering.

You also get one of the hand written postcards and a one track cd with the book. The best buy I have though must be a book about occult music in England: £35 new but I've seen it on Amazon for just under a grand! |
Funnily enough I saw some occult books on ebay a while back - they were very expensive!
