pinkwheeltrim said:So TMQ (and others) What bands did you get into after the Manics started to go down hill and it all got a bit ladish(ie when Ritchey went missing)? For me it was Mansun,Suede and Kenickie(I even once had a bit of a snog with Laverne!) I know i'm gonna get some stick for this but Oasis(and some of their fans) always seemed a bit too thick for me.

Jesus, Mikey you do have some rare shit in your collection if you have the Feminine is beautiful 7"!!!
I once saw Suicide Alley 7" for sale in a record shop in Cardiff, fully signed...£750!
My collection is pretty complete aside from the ultra rare stuff, I've got all the singles on CD, most on vinyl or cassette too depending if it was issued or not. I have a promo copy or imported copy of every single too. All the albums obviously, along with promos, signed copies, ltd versions etc.
Not sure what the rarest thing I have is really, I've got Motown Junk CD signed by James and also a promo 12" of Heavenly You Love us with press pack and all the rest. A few years back I had the make up boxes they did as promo items too but I gave them to my ex/she stole them depending on who you believe lol

got some good stuff there TMQ, those make up boxes are ultra rare. got quoted £75 for the 'stay beautiful' one a few years back. i got the 'you love us' one off some geezer in glasgow who had fell out of love with the band post richey.
where do you get your japanese cds from by the way? tokyomusicjapan is a site i used back in the day - run by a newcastle fan called ben whos also a manics fan and a sound bloke to deal with.got quite a bit of japanese promo items from him in my time.
