A CELEBRATION - FRENCH COPY
A BIG ONE THIS . 250 QUID IS THE STANDARD PRICE FOR THIS LITTLE GEM . NOT AVAILABLE ON ANY U2 ALUBM , THIS IS ONE OF THEIR FEW STAND-ALONE SINGLES , AND THE FRENCH VERSION IS WELL RARE . UNIQUE PICTURE COVER . I GOT THIS FOR 100 QUID , SO NOT A BAD BIT OF BUSINESS . |
ALL I WANT IS YOU - PORPLE VINYL
ONE OF THE RAREST EVER U2 SINGLES . THIS IS THE LEGENDARY AUSSIE PRESSING OF ALL I WANT IS YOU . IN AUSTRALIA , U2'S PRESSING IS DONE BY A COMPANY CALLED 'FESTIVAL RECORDS' AND DOWN THE YEARS THEY'VE HAD SOME PRETTY IMAGINATIVE AND BRAVE EMPLOYEES . THIS SINGLE AND THE OTHER 5/6 COPIES WERE RUN OFF DURING A LATE NIGHT OVERTIME STINT AND 'PUT TO ONE SIDE ' BY THE EMPLOYEE CONCERNED . FOUR FIGURES WOULD JUST ABOUT SECURE YOU ONE !

BOY - EMI JAP
THIS IS THE FABLED FIRST JAPANESE PRESSING OF THE BOY ALBUM . THIS LP WAS ISSUED IN JAPAN FOR A FEW DAYS BY EMI/TOSHIBA WITH PICTURE LABELS AND AN INSERT . IT WAS QUICKLY WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED BY A PRESSING ON ISLAND . ANOTHER FOUR FIGURE SUM WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SECURE THIS BABY ! |
I WILL FOLLOW - NZ
THE NEW ZEALAND PRESSING OF 'I WILL FOLLOW' . IN AUSTRALIA THERE WAS ANOTHER , EVEN RARER , PRESSING . BUT THIS HUMBLE ITEM IS JUST WORTH 500 NICKER ! THE NAME OF THE 'BOY' BY THE WAY IS PETER !

MORE PLEASED LATER , HOWEVER , TO ANNOUNCE THAT ITS VALUE IS NOW NEARER 400 BEAUTIES . THIS ALL MAY SOUND LIKE I'M OBSESSED BY MONEY - I'M NOT , REALLY ! |
McGONAGLES POSTER
NOT A RECORD AT ALL , BUT A VERY RARE POSTER FOR A U2 GIG IN DUBLIN BEFORE THEY BROKE OUT . THEY CAME UPON THE GREAT PROMOTIONAL STUNT OF HAVING XMAS SPECIAL GIGS IN THE SUMMER ! BRILLIANT ! THIS POSTER WOULD PROBABLY REACH 500 NOTES . JEALOUS YET , JUNE ? :-)
