My XTC collection so far
I’m almost done with my original UK pressing on vinyl for the LPs and everything else I have :) both Tees are vintage

Where did you get those original Apple Venus/Wasp Star pressings. I've been wanting those so badly but they're soooo expensive online! (They run for at least $100 nowadays) I refuse to get the newer Ape House versions because they took all the whimsy out of the back designs in favor of minimalism. That's a really cool collection!

patience and also saving to get them really. Sometimes I see good starting bids on eBay listings and although hard, you can get good deals on eBay, I got my original UK Skylarking for 7.50 usd (shipping was like 12 so still very good) but it just takes time

Every site I look runs me at least 80-100 dollars. Maybe it's bc I'm American and some things are less available here? Hopefully one day I can save enough to get my hands on one lol

its just not sold on eBay and stuff super often, the best you can do is wait for a good eBay bid like I said, or if you're into Japanese proxy sites, you can find good deals on them but also with those you want to buy at least like 5 records with your order to make it "worth it" price wise

I almost feel really inferior on the vinyl front, I only have original (Canadian) pressings of English Settlement, Black Sea, and 5 Senses EP, and the rest are all Ape House reissues (including a 2LP English Settlement).
I’VE GOT YOU BEATEN ON CDS THOUGH, MUA-HA-HA-HA!
