ANYONE WANT TO SELL ME THIS?

I've spent a fair bit of time trying really hard to complete my collection of singles on the Postcard label.

And last Saturday, I thought I was as close as I'll ever get.

I've long given up ever getting my hands on the ultra-rare and ultra-expensive debut by Orange Juice - (Falling & Laughing b/w Moscow - for which I've gone as high as £100 on ebay twice and got nowhere near it). But I harbour hopes of one day landing the sole The Go-Betweens single recorded for the label (I Need Two Heads b/w Stop Before You Say It).

Last week, one came up one ebay and I shoved in a bid of £22.50. The closing date was last Saturday at 8pm, and thanks to a delay in getting home after the Raith Rovers v Dundee match and not being at the PC for the final moments of the auction, I lost out to a late bid.

Now the thing is, I already have one of the the songs on vinyl as it was included on the LP 1979-1990, but I would love to get my hands on the 7" piece of plastic real estate. Anyone selling?? Or know of anyone who might be selling???

mp3 : The Go-Betweens - I Need Two Heads

It was during the recent mad spending spree that I picked up the other single that had been missing from the collection. So a big thanks for the advent of ebay and an increasing willingness/desire of some folk to sell off some old rarities.....

mp3 : Aztec Camera - Just Like Gold
mp3 : Aztec Camera - We Could Send Letters

The b-side was re-recorded and put on the band's debut LP High Land Hard Rain, but the music snob in me will insist that the original - released as Postcard 81 3 - is the best

STOP PRESS : My plea has not been in vain. One fabulous reader has sent me an email and named a price that is extremely fair. Thanks Gary.

However, given that Grace Maxwell in the recent book revealed that not even Edwyn has a vinyl copy of Falling & Laughing in his collection, I'm not expecting to ever own the complete set of Postcard singles...
