[f_minor] Follow-up to Anita's Q

[Pat]

Hi Anita, all

Well, so do I, but a girl I know refers to her CD collection as "her children" which she refuses to part from, even if they only contain one or two good songs. I am a bit like her, unfortunately or fortunately her CDs are not mine. Or so is she.

Anita, if you want to get "rid" of your collection or parts thereof I suggest you try www.gemm.com. Unlike other rather profane auction platforms like ebay or some such this is THE place for the record collector (or seller), because the people there know what they are looking for and will cough up to demand and see the value of a certain item.Apparently they also have some GG memorabilia (books, promo posters etc) but I would have to look that up.

No matter if you want to buy or sell anything and everything from rare New Zealand punk singles to classical out-of -print Vinyl this is the place to go I reckon.

I don't know if Berkley Music Outlet is still in business but there are plenty of other sites and sources that can be recommenced if the space in your CD shelf is getting to small. Via BMO I was able to find some rare GG stuff when I got started. And there is also one great shop in Japan, need to check archive.

Yes, there were a few contrabands around but our friends at Sony put an end to certain material coming out of Sweden, yet they are aware that a vibrant bootleg underground community is around. Yet Contraband and Bootleg is not the same thing. Let us hope annus mirabilis will see some releases from the alternate ice-box !!!

Hey, why don't we put tougher a list of decent sources where one could buy or sell GG records, memorabilia or summet like that for the fun or it or the ardent beginner and the obsessed collectors ? This list needs some activity anyway, otherwise I will start a thread about the GBs. I came up with an interesting question.....
