A few more stories:

Story no2.

1998, there were two Mercyful Fate Live vinyls by 2 sellers up for auction at Ebay that week. I bid on the one that the seller from Canada that did not put a picture and won it for $25. I asked him if had any other metal vinyls for sale and any private Canadian releases. He answered that he only had his own copy of a private '80s release that one of the members was his cousin, so that record had a sentimental value to him. I told him ok for what price would you sell it and he answered that because of the sentimental value he wanted $15 for it. The single was MINOTAUR.

Now this thread is turning to gold.

I think that you should post more of your record hunting stores in this thread. Glockose has some gems in there.

Subcore/EverRat Records pink picture sleeve attack:

Image

Image

Image

the catalog for this label is confusing...
Sashay is ER 7” 001
Subcore is SUB7EP0001
AMQA is SUB7EP004
Accused “The Return of Martha Splatterhead” is SUB12LP002

I've never seen any other 7” from this label with the “good taste” to xerox onto pink paper, can anyone help with any other early catalog titles?

Yes just got it this week. Took awhile to see another, last one I remember on ebay was Cranford selling his collection and it went cheap but I missed it, it was at a time he was listing 100 records a week and I overlooked it and a few others too at the time. For some reason it must have been pressed in much smaller quantities than these other singles, which I've seen multiple times in shops over the last 20 years, but never saw Sashay once.
