I'm after an original copy of the Jean-Claude Vannier L'Enfant Assasin Des Mouches album.
It's fast become an all-time favourite, and finding an original copy just feels right. So if anyone's got one to sell, PM me here - thanks!

why would you wannna pay that kinda money when theres a perfectly good reissue available.
I only know 2 people with that lp and they reissued it and paid a small fortune an that was probably before any of u lot had heard of it

Don't be so sure, Lee. Mark brought the Vannier to Brillo long before Finders Keepers reissued it. We've known about it but not all of us could afford it.
<edit> Or was it Ed? Or Sermad?

The fella who wants it shouldn't buy it, because it's too expensive and -also- worthless. The fella who had it undersold it while overselling it -what bean is worth 100 quid?
Are philately boards this thought-provoking?

What if it were a MAGIC bean?
We know when a mate buys it for you too.

I thought of that. But magic beans only work if given freely. So we're back to something both valuable and worthless... Ourobouros...What if it were a MAGIC bean?

I don't think spending £100 on an album you really love as being TOO crazy. . It's obviously nice to find records you love cheap but you have to treat yourself sometimes surely. I do however think spending £500 on a Beatles album because of a typo error IS mental so It's all relative. But if you can afford It then what the hell - It's hardly immoral.
Everyone has their own set limits but I guess they are there to be broken. I would gladly pay £100 for a Mint UK Oddessy and Oracle but I've never even seen one. If someone offered me one for £120 I guess I'd break my self imposed rules.
I was speaking to someone who had a (rich!) friend who spent $7,000 on the first Guided by Voices album. His argument was that It's rare as hell (only a couple 100 exist), the sleeve is hand made by Robert Pollard and he is his favourite ARTIST in the world. He reckons no-one would bat an eyelid If he'd spent that much on a painting or a first edition book.

You obviously have more money than most of us to consider 100gbp as being not worth a bean.

Why do so many threads on VV wander off into discussions of food? Yesterday ice-cream, today beans.
If I start a thread about scrapple, can we talk about records?

You sound like my mum. Since when was there any rational reasoning behind any of all this buying of old vinyl? I already said why when I started this thread: it's a favourite and it just feels right to have an original copy in my hands. Course it doesn't make sense, but so what?
Why should a reissue of this record deny me this bizarre pleasure, and what does this notion that most of "you lot" probably never heard it before it got reissued (which doesn't happen to be true anyhow) have to do with anything? And how much is this "that kinda money" anyway?
And another thing, I'm not hypnotized by any 'hype' over this particular record or nothing neither. I hope anyone who knows me will vouch for my iron will against such record whisperings: I'm no soulstrutting silly!
I just happen to think this is one of the best records I've ever heard in my life. Everybody shut up unless you have one for sale.

sadly i dont have a copy at the mo, but i will at some point. ive been dealin that lp for at least 8 years now. If you're a real fan you might like to check Vannier's lp of George Brassens arrangements - no beats, but plenty microtonal strings - great stuff. Theres also a very rare lp by Michel Magne from the early 60s that has a very young Vannier as "musical director" It figures that Vannier would somehow be connected to Magne.
here's some audio from it: http://iueke.com/audio/electrodes.mp3

That's extremely nice, thanks iueke!

Has anyone noticed how this neatly co-incided with the reappearance of the Walford Mafia, AKA Grant & Phil, in BBC1's long running soap opera serial "Eastenders" ?
Uncanny innit.
"OOOOOOOOOright bruv ?!" as they say in the square. Do you own a black leather jacket Nick ?

Spirit of the wolf!
I think there's a whole genre of these type of coats and hoodies: a 'new discovery' courtesy of that woman from the Apprentice who invested in a load to flog on QVC and her teamates thought she was nuts, but lo and behold, they sold out in minutes!
There's a lot of people wearing EWG (Emo Wolf Gear) out there. Now if we could only round them up, we'd have some serious collective wolf clout. Just kidding, I'd just use them for human hunting on my deserted, walled island...

Oof, he'd be Nasty Nick in that...
