    Apologies for veering off-topic, but are you implying that you feel "vinyl mania" peaked last year and is now declining?

    It was privately pressed, as BT Puppy was their own label. About 100 copies were made back in the day. I've seen reissues (with varying covers), but this was the first time I'd actually seen an original. The audio is on YouTube, so you can hear what it's like. It's like a cross between the Beach Boys' Wild Honey and Genuine Imitation Life Gazette by the Four Seasons

    I can`t find this one radio show:NBC The Source Ozzy Osbourne Concert Ohio 1981 .What is kind of funny is while I`ve been patiently waiting for this one to show up I `ve discovered all of these other live radio shows I never even knew existed.

    Randy Holden - Population II. Had a signed copy a while back, but a vinyl rip like every other reissue. Hoping for an original one of these days...

    "Black Betty" by Starstruck - which was later butchered up and re-credited to Ram Jam.

    Since it was only ever released locally, the scant copies that pop up online are usually quite pricey.

    I see those pop up at Half Price Books every now and then. I don't think they're ever priced more than, like, eight bucks.

    The Waterboys - The Crash Of Angel Wings

    Honestly though I'm not 100% sure it does exist. My two sources are a long-sold EIL listing and a Waterboys superfan who says "I think I have that, I remember I heard him play 'The Wedding' and I picked it up because of that"... but months later the CD has not turned up. Here's hoping.

    Found a copy 3 years ago (assuming you mean a U.S. copy). Until then, I wasn't even certain that it existed.

    The story goes that a Festival employee did a few coloured pressings without permission. This would account for the U2 coloured variations around this era and I have physically seen one off weird tri-colour mixtures of Icehouse and Kylie Minogue vinyl.

    Yep. You probably can't see them now cause I was using Photobucket at the time.

    $25?! Man, I bought a new copy of One Foot in the Grave for $9.99 in the '90s. Odelay was not more than $15.

    Do you believe Hair to be a dedicated mono mix? How does it sound in mono?

    Just due to the hidden track and preceding silence being excised?
