It seems you enjoy being an annoying douchebag. Which is fine I guess, internet's full of them. If I ever feel I want your input on a record before I acquire it for my collection I'll remember to ask.

Per-Ola: Great records! I need to get myself a Crystal Knight. I would play War Attack until there was nothing but melting wax left of the record!

I received a shirt today that I've been looking for for ages!!!
You could order this shirt + the badge you can see in the picture from the merchandise form insert coming with the too wild to tame single back in 83.

It's not easy to find, especially the shirts from "smaller" bands like Avenger. It sure is easier to track down records.
Alot of searching through the net and in stores, alot of emailing every single day. Hard work pays off eventually it seems.

Old shirts are indeed hard to find because most got thrown away over the years. Nobody puts their records with the garbage, they can always unload them in a second hand shop. But shirts get thrown out, used when painting the house, or put in those 'clothes-for-Africa' box.

I heard a pretty awful story about one of these scenarios.
Andrija Valjaca from MERCY had an very old mercy shirt and he found his wife wearing it covered in paint when painting the house... Ouch.

I can only imagine little African children running around in $300 vintage Slayer t-shirts

I'm sure they're out there. I once saw a news-items on a refugee camp in Africa and one of them was wearing an 80's Metallica shirt.
Also saw a documentary on illegal woodchopping somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Asia and one of the guys was wearing a Mortician-cap. Although he could have been a legit fan.

But I'm also sure that most of those 'clothes-for-Africa' boxes get raided by vintage sellers and only the worthless stuff gets shipped to those in need.
